Livinginthepast Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Excuse me for asking this but I didnt see any of the Bills preseason games. Was Vince Young so absolutely horrible that he could not even make the backup? We dont have any go to guy when Fitz sh$ts the bed. And Fitz has being pretty horrendous in our losses. I mean really what plan B does Chan have when Fitz throws up a stinker like hes been doing. Why didnt they give Young a chance to be backup. How bad was he?

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 No other team has any interest in him. If Fitz got cut tomorrow he would have a new team within a week,,,,and Fitz sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I had the feeling young knew Chan and his plan stunk. And fitz was just a part of it. On one hand he needed the money, but on the other I think he was relieved to get away from this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Fitz can't make any teams pay for tight coverage on our WRs because he can not throw the ball consitantly at all over the top. He throws like a girl at times, no ofense to thatgender.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VADC Bills Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Not sure if Vince was that bad but there is a bit of cronyism about the players that Chan keeps. Thigpen and Choice are clear examples of where he has weighted past relationships over talent. Wannstedt is an example of this as well. Vince probably was not the answer but he was the only QB on our squad that has put together a winning season and he was better than Thigpen in the preseason. Don't want to discard the season yet but I get the feeling that it's time for the Gailey / Nix experiment to end.

HOUSE Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I see this as a mental problem with the Bills. We let Young go way to fast. Some of the older Bills played against Vince Young in college and I am sure he was viewed by many players as an upgrade. Nice Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfan357 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yes. He was that bad. There's a reason he's out of the league. We need an answer but Vince Young most certainly was not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said he "chose to" leave only he had mixed feelings, that there was an element of relief too. People get let go from jobs all the time and end up saying to themselves "you know as bad as that hurts me financially, they did me a favor. That place is miserable and I didn't buy into their plan anyway. I'll find a way to survive. " I think the athlete in him was still a greater factor than the pragmatic domestic finance guy. That said I'm sure he'd still be here if they hadn't cut him too. Edited October 8, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positing that Vince Young was happy to get be unemployed because of the Bills situation is patently absurd considering the well documented financial problems that VY is currently facing.

NoSaint Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 OK another blatant misquote/misinterpretation. It's difficult to say with certainty, but these might just be the most asinine series of mistaken posts ever. come on... yea he might have pulled the "im better off without them...." to help him sleep at night. but im pretty certain that you and i both know that only gets you so far when you have a very specific skill set (nfl qb) and no job offers on the horizon. he is not better off without a job right now. if he misses this whole season, he may be done for good.

Who knows. But with his reported money problems what bills were paying him may not have kept him out of bankruptcy anyway. And btw people do seemingly irrational things all the time ... was it rational to you for OJ to kill his ex wife? Put at risk everything he had? Anyway I'm not saying he asked to be cut nor was he happy. Last time now I'm saying there was an element of relief. He's looking at financial problems no matter and being in a miserable situation with a team and coach he didnt respect just added more cognitive dissonance. I sensed there was an element of relief when he was let go, even if it added to his financial problem. Maybe he accepted his football days were most likely over and its time to focus on his next chapter in life, whatever that is.

kickedface Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 yeah its fitz's fault the defense can't stop anything. VY can't learn a playbook, couldn't learn the eagles couldn't learn the bills. its why he doesn't have a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 it is fitz's fault for being a trash qb......jaws ranking him 30th was a little high....... **only better than Cassell should be his rating** all of this nonsense about learning Gailey's master book of plays is crap IMO Fitz can't even learn it how is anyone else..................this whole situation makes me sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
