timtebow15 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I don't think its automatic by any stretch, but I also don't think you put a rookie QB in that situation, and I don't think its a great situation for Fitzpatrick either. All the marginal QBs have to compete for a spot every year as do rookies. If they guys are good leaders the players don't care which one plays. With injuries today you almost always need two viable QBs anyway. I'm not a Fitzpatrick fan but he wasn't horrible - except in many 4th quarters and Gailey was stupid enough to keep putting the game in his hands. EJ may have beat him out and may not have but at least we'd have two options this year. I can't believe how poorly Kolb has looked and he's so fragile.

ajzepp Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 . I can't believe how poorly Kolb has looked and he's so fragile. I guess we couldn't really expect more...it's like physically abusing someone and then expecting them to not be socially awkward or mal-adjusted afterwards. We pretty much hammered him when we played the Cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAWNDO Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 lol, I was just tweeting Ross too... I'm assuming he's making the vet minimum? Probably. I guess one silver lining is the fact that the Bills were a more attractive option than the Jets. Imagine this board if they would have lost him to the Jets!!

Sisyphean Bills Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 No argument here!!! Then there is this Ross Tucker @RossTuckerNFL 16m If Leinart's on Bills opening day roster his salary's guaranteed for year despite not one OTA or training camp practice Thankfully, they saved some money by cutting Jackson early.

BRAWNDO Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Matt Leinart @MattLeinartQB 1m Really excited and thankful for the @buffalobills for giving me this opportunity. Been working hard for 8 straight months. Time to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine this board if they would have lost him to the Jets!! If you're really sh*tty at something, probably better to have Buffalo seeing it as opposed to the entire Metro NYC area. lol Did you see that Geno play last night where he ran out the back of the endzone and then just chucked the ball awkwardly toward the sideline? That guy is going to have a rough year, brother! Matt Leinart @MattLeinartQB 1m Really excited and thankful for the @buffalobills for giving me this opportunity. Been working hard for 8 straight months. Time to go!! You think that means he went to 12 celebrity hot tub parties a week instead of 15? Hell, maybe being exiled to B-lo will spark something in him...he'll end up going all Tommy Maddox on us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) It appears the Bills may have done their homework on the QB Class of 2013. Yep, it sure does...I wasn't on the EJ bandwagon pre-draft...glad I'm not making decisions at One Bills Drive. (Although I would have gotten the Russel Wilson thing right!) It is impressive to see the guy we "reached for" according to all the experts playing solid when he's been out there, especially compared to a few of the others. Geno just looks completely lost. BTW, you clearly were the first on the Leinart signing...I saw that! Edited August 25, 2013 by ajzepp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 this is a STRONG indication they do NOT expect EJ in week #1. A league source confirmed to PFT that Leinart is joining the Bills and adds that he could wind up starting in Week One against the Patriots. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/08/25/report-matt-leinart-to-sign-with-bills/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great...as the guy who replaced Tommy Maddox went on to play in three super bowls and win two of them!!!....May be a stepping stone for EJ.

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ferragamo ruled the preseason as well. Mitch, Kolb doesn't rule either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmalibu Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 At this point I would try to bring in the guys off the street to play the last preseason game and protect Tuel in case EJ is not ready for week 1. And if EJ cant go week 1 we need a backup for Tuel who can step in and manage the game. Defense and special teams need to play excellent to beat the Pats.
