TallskiWallski83 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Kolb sucks we all know that. But he aint no Fitzpatrick either. A small step forward yawn inducing move of mediocrity. It doesnt get me excited, but anythings better than who we've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 @caplannfl In answering question that I keep getting: Yes, I think the Bills will select a QB this year--just not in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Usually this is the time of the year when people shrug their shoulders and say, I guess OBD knows better than us. And then nine months later, opinions change. I hope this time it's different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 That was a garbage read. It was nothing that hasn't already been said so many times. Scouting report? Really? Well it wasn't ESPN so it had value in my opinion. Your conclusory statements certainly don't present an unbiased view of whether a solid QB exists in this draft.

boyst Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) are you kidding me? Fitz for Kolb? I love recycling but that is for trash, not QB's. I do not want any QB's that have been a part of Andy Reid. Edited March 31, 2013 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKBILLS Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 @caplannfl In answering question that I keep getting: Yes, I think the Bills will select a QB this year--just not in the first round. We'll see... As a rabid Buffalo Bills fan I don't see how signing Kolb changes anything other than giving The Bills better depth at the position, and maybe some insurance in case there is a run on QB's from 1-7...Other than that...I don't see this as a Draft related move whatsoever... But I could be wrong...Buddy is still the GM after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) For those saying that Kolb had a bad o-line; How do you answer the fact that Kolb was sacked almost twice as many times (27) in 6 games as Skelton was in 7 (15)? Perhaps Kolb sucks at feeling pressure and moving in the pocket? Skelton only played 3 full games in 2012, was sacked 13 times in those 3 games They gave up 58 sacks in 16 games Cardinals also went 4-2 in Kolb's 6 starts last season So if CB's numbers are true (and Bangarang's are not), Skelton was sacked 4.3 times per game while Kolb was sacked 4.5 times per game. Not saying that Kolb doesn't feel pressure well but there seems to be little debate that the Cards O-line and their entire offense excepting Larry Fitzgerald was terrible. @caplannfl Kolb has always done better when asked to work on 3/5 step-drop passing game, which Bills will use this season. @caplannfl Bills OL is significantly better than the Cardinals, obviously, and new coaching staff understands completely how to use him. Interesting stuff from Caplan. Alright who had Tempo Duty? Oh boy, heads are gonna roll. Times like this I'm glad I live in San Jose.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 @caplannfl also said: Former Eagles and Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb has agreed to a 2-year deal worth a maximum of $13 M (with playing time, passing incentives). Interested to see the real breakdown... About 8 million too much. Waste of cap and roster space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Dallas pays $100 mill over 6 years for Tony Romo Bills pay $13 million over 2 years for a guy who, if healthy, can play the position as well as Fitz and possibly better.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I'm guessing it's (guaranteed money) not much... Yep. I'm thinking 3mil. They clearly wanted him, after seeing him last weekend and him being in Buffalo thu-fri-sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked very good, then had hard time staying healthy as I recall. Edited March 31, 2013 by mannc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
