26CornerBlitz Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 We would have benched Drew after the bad early season start and made the playoffs in my opinion. Let's hope for a great off-season for JP. Go Bills in 2005!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Fug ya! We were right with Volek this past offseason just as most on the board are right with Drew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With him at the helm, we're playing this weekend! Now we no why Donahoe and Modrak made such a big play for Volek during the Free Agency Period....Cause Bledsoe Blows!

Numbers don't tell you everything. He is a good QB, but he had a good running back, better Oline than we have, and 2 stud WR's. Plus 2 TE's that could start (ne's a rookie). He had overall better weapons to go to. Not by a lot, but he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know you can't really throw deep balls with any success against soft coverage. At any rate, he's a much better decision maker with better pocket presence (pat pat pat...boom) than Drew...without the benefit of all those years of experience.

LabattBlue Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Forget Volek...damn shame we didn't sign Drew Bennett, who I was touting(LAMP) as someone the Bills should go after during the FA period last year! ...and if anyone doubts me, I will have the moderators dig up my old posts to prove it!

Rayzer32 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Volek shined at times and also looked very lost at times, just like DB. We are no better and just as bad with Volek at QB. We had more problems than just our QB situation, although it was our worst point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 For the record I'd much rather have Billy Volek than Jon kitna, however Volek did take a lot of sacks, and make a lot of dumb mistakes, but I won't hold losing to better teams against him, as the rest of the titans team outside of volek/mason/bennet and brown(when he wasn't injured) sucked. The Volek Machine when he gets a full time chance to start and the titans get some quality guys around him will turn out to be a pretty good qb in this league.
