BaaadThingsMan Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just watched Tarvaris Jackson take advantage of 5th string Chargers dbs while throwing to 5-8th best receivers to the tune of 8-9 and 128 yds with 2 yds. Thought I would share for s%% and giggles.Go Bills!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I wonder how much of a difference there is between kolb and Jackson. If I had my druthers, would have liked us keeping Jackson and letting kolb walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrags Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I wonder how much of a difference there is between kolb and Jackson. If I had my druthers, would have liked us keeping Jackson and letting kolb walk. i agree. Besides, Jaxlson is more like Manuel than Kolb is. Less changing of style of offense and plays because there's a different QB in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Seriously? I mean, I think we all know what kolb brings to the table. Mediocre starter, injury prone, takes a million sacks. I have no idea about Jackson, except that he is much more athletic. Would have liked to see how they did during the OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to see more from him while he was here, but in all honesty, I think the unknowns are what can Kolb do behind a better offensive line and what can he do when healthy, where as Jackson seems to have limitations in real games that most teams have already seen.

YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 All I know is Kolb has been good enough to start on at least one team, and Jackson has never been good enough to start on any team. Heck, he couldn't get on the field here with Mr. Harvard out there throwing picks like it was his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zazie Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 If I were Tarvaris I would be praying for another season like last season. no work, big money, no stress on the body, and great state-of-the-art workout facilities all year long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I wanted to keep TJax, too. We only have one experienced QB on the roster and he's so injury prone, it's hard to guess how long he'll be able to suit up. We might end up playing games with a rookie starter and a rookie backup talking things over with him on the sideline. Then again, Jackson's departure means more reps for EJ (and Tuel) and EJ seems to be doing well with his reps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Neither Kolb nor TJ is the future here but I never could understand why they got TJ and never really let him show anything. By all accounts he and Kolb were about the same in OTA's with TJ arguably hitting a few more downfield passes. Whatever, good for him in Seattle now but I would have liked to see him kept over Kolb b/c of athleticsm. I'm just not a Kolb guy. Looking forward to watching EJ and Tuel in preseason much more.

How to only play 4 games in a season? It was like when he sat behind Ponder in college. Gruden said to EJ that Ponder taught him how to not take hits heh Edited August 9, 2013 by BuffaloFood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zazie Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 VY>Tavaris>Kolb We got the short end of the short end. And even that, is already broken, a victim of the rubber floor mats at the Ralph. I hope EJ plays and plays all year, makes it all moot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden said to EJ that Ponder taught him how to not take hits heh Will be very interesting to see who end up being the better NFL QB between Ponder and EJ. I think Ponder actually gets kind of a bad rap - probably due to being drafted higher than anyone thought he should be (4 spots higher than EJ even) and the fact he has AP running the ball. But if you watch him play, he is actually decent. I sure hope EJ is better, but the comparison will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowery4 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Didn't he start in minny for 2 seasons? I think one in Minny and one as a Seahawk but I am not looking it up. Good luck to him, I think he is a good back up. I don't think anyone is as bad as Kolb and never liked the signing but I am not the FO. Hopefully they know.

Kemp2Warlick Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 When Moats knocked out Farve,....Tavaris did a pretty good job of cutting us up. Very strange he didn't suit up last year with the backup QB we had at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Glad to see Jackson is performing well after being held hostage in Buffalo for a year. Got that good prison workout like Vick did. Same treatment basically. You can work out all you would like, but no playbooks and no practicing with 1st or 2nd team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you compare that to being in a federal prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally think federal prisoners get 2 mil. Not that we traded for him with no intention of actually playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 All I know is Kolb has been good enough to start on at least one team, and Jackson has never been good enough to start on any team. Heck, he couldn't get on the field here with Mr. Harvard out there throwing picks like it was his job. The Bills QB decisions lately have been a bit bizarre. I feel Gailey completely mismanaged his QBs as far as roster and playing time decisions. I mean Tyler Thigpen? Also: Tarvaris has 34 career starts in 7 seasons. Kolb has 21 career starts in 6 seasons. Finally, I thought it was a weird move to re-sign Tarvaris and then to cut him. I guess they saw all they needed to see in OTAs.
