Martimus Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The Bills traded for quarterback Tarvaris Jackson before the season, but he’s spent the first 15 games of the season on the inactive list. It sounds like he’ll spend the 16th game of the season there as well. Bills coach Chan Gailey said Monday that he isn’t going to be using the game against the Jets to take a look at younger players or backups, which includes giving Ryan Fitzpatrick the start at quarterback even as it seems likelier and likelier that Fitz is done in Buffalo. Gailey said that he believes Fitzpatrick gives the team the best chance to win and that’s his only consideration when it comes to making out the lineup for Week 17. “The best players are going to play,” Gailey said, via the team’s website. ” They've earned the right to play. They want to play in the games, that’s what they want to do — they want to play in the games. They've earned the right to play, and if they’re ready to go, the best players are going to play.” They are both delusional...... one thinks he's a great coach and the other thinks he's a great quarterback? Get rid of both of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 There's a huge gap between thinking he's great and thinking he's better than Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 this is Chan's last chance to try and save his job so no surprise he wont be using it to evaluate younger players Chan also doesnt want to deal with the what if questions if they played Jackson and he actually looked good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Maybe they saved some money and never issued Tarvaris a uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBill Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 TJax trade is a great reason why this organization fails No doubt. If one player displays the way this organization has operated for nearly two decades it is Jackson. Give up a draft pick for someone, cut Vince Young in the process (not that that was loss), and never even see what he can do. Then he leaves via free agency? Make no sense at all. Kinda like buying a car, leave it in the driveway for a year without getting in it then give it away? this is Chan's last chance to try and save his job so no surprise he wont be using it to evaluate younger players Chan also doesnt want to deal with the what if questions if they played Jackson and he actually looked good I would certainly hope that nothing can save Chan's job, but I am sure you are correct that that is his thinking. He is backed into a corner by the fans and hopefully management, so he wants to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBD Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 The trade for TJax is no different than selecting a QB in the 7th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 i think this happens with low draft picks and backup type players more often than most fans realize. The thing is that some fans view Tarvaris as a better QB than Fitzpicks. They are actually quite similar stats wise. Jackson has a better record in fewer starts and a better QB rating. Fitz has a slightly better completion percentage. Both average less than 6 yards per attempt over their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 He hasn't been completely useless. His intelligence on Seattle helped us immensely in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 This thread should be titled: Complaints for those who have run out of things to complain about. You guys are talking about Tarvaris friggin Jackson and a 6th rd pick. This story burdens my soul to the same extent our failure to retain CJ Ah You does.

jumbalaya Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) Its utterly inconceivable that considering Fitz' continued poor play that Thigpen could not get into a game and / or stayed on the roster and TJax could not get a sniff of playing time. Chan is deaf, dumb and blind..... I apologize, I don't mean to disparage deaf, dumb and blind people by grouping them with Chan.

John from Riverside Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 At this point I dont want him in there....Fitz cant beat the Jets and we need to lose this last game so we dont fall in draft position in a meaningless game....... What I do hope is that incoming mgt and coaching can convince TJ to stick around and compete for a job....knowing that the current HC wont be deciding who the starting QB is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 We should just cut all the QB's on the roster and have Gailey play, ya know, show us how it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no win situation for Gailey. If Jackson plays and bombs then he is one step closer to the door. If Jackson plays and looks good then he is one step closer to the door. No win by playing Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I bet Jackson isnt that good. The guy that got two people to replace him and wasnt going to even let him compete for the backup job in seattle sure thought he sucked and hes got two playoff teams in the last 3 years in a division with the 49ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
