Omar Little Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 As apposed to that much accomplished NFL QB we should sign? Who would that be? Freeman is "much accomplished" compared to what else is out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If I recall, the one loss was in OT to a top-5 Ravens team on the road. I think he threw a bad pick in OT, but otherwise had a solid game. I used to love him at Oregon. If we sign a vet, I want someone who has some starts under his belt, as opposed to a guy like Pat White. I want a guy with a little experience, an NFL quality arm, NFL size, and hasn't proven himself to suck. Being able to run is a plus. There aren't many of those. Dixon is one. That's why I want to take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If Pat or Dennis could play, they would be on a roster. Start Tuel, take your lumps, let him get some experience and pick up a young guy with potential who is hanging out on a practice squad there for the taking. Seth Doege, Matt Scott and several others are out there. There simply is no one out there that is going to rescue us from this situation. It is what it is.

RyanC883 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I think he's a solid choice. He has some starts, and has decent accuracy on the deep ball I believe (with Goodwin coming back this would be huge) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The Redskins did not want to let him go. He has upside which is way better than someone like Trenative. I would be cool with him. I agree. I was pretty surprised when the Redskins let him go. Anyone know if VY is coming in? I know he had a solid preseason and has a winning record as a starter.

How would you feel about V. Young? I think he'd also be a decent signing. Had a good preseason, and has a winning record as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VADC Bills Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I mentioned in other threads that Pat White is the best choice out there. Being in the DC area I watched him in pre-season. He was clearly better than Rex Grossman and just as good as Cousins. Keep in mind he took most of the snaps with Cousins and RG3 out. He has arm strength and he was pretty accurate with his passes. The Redskins were not going to keep him because of Rex Grossman's relationship with Kyle Shanahan. I hope we go with him. He's got the skill set where he may challenge EJ for the job. I think we will pleasantly surprised. Edited October 5, 2013 by VADC Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I agree we should go w/ someone who has started. How would you feel about V. Young? I think he'd also be a decent signing. Had a good preseason, and has a winning record as a starter. I would take young over white based on experience. But I think we all know his ceiling. Seems like Dixon might have more upside potential.

KDIGGZ Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sign Dixon and White. Run the read option. Someone gets hurt who cares. Worth a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridabillsfan1 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would like to see Pat White in Buffalo, he has always looked good when playing the Bills... Pat White is garbage !!! Period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Lienert was more intriguing, so was Vince Young. Both came and did not have what it takes. Next on the list is Pat White. Freeman is not on the list because I want to see a little bit more play out. Not sure what is meant by "a little bit more play out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sign both guys, run the read option. QB by committee. That would at least be exciting. If Tuel plays I don't even want to watch the game. It will be like Trent Edwards at the end of his run with is where we can't even get a first down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I imagine that Freeman has been contacted by a lot of teams, especially the Bills. I also assume he and his agent will watch the games tomorrow, see if there are any major injuries to QBs that may change the landscape, and then decide tomorrow night. The fact he gets his 6m from the Bucs makes his decision less important to be right away. Excellent points all around. If I were his agent, I'd advise the exact same strategy. GO BILLS!!!

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Don't hate that either but certainly prefer White. Why? Curious what you see in White as an NFL QB - other than he made us look bad in preseason Dixon has actually played in a few NFL games Dixon stats: Pass attempts 59 Pass completions 35 Percentage 59.3 TD–INT 1-2 Passing yards 402 QB Rating 71.4 All accrued 2008-2009-2010. Pat White stats: Pass attempts 5 Pass completions 0 Percentage 0.0 TD–INT 0-0 Passing yards 0 QB Rating 39.6 Personally, if we're going after an upgrade to Tuel - uncertain. I'd much rather see Freeman. But it's quite possible Freeman has told us "no interest". I mentioned in other threads that Pat White is the best choice out there. Being in the DC area I watched him in pre-season. He was clearly better than Rex Grossman and just as good as Cousins. Keep in mind he took most of the snaps with Cousins and RG3 out.

DanInUticaTampa Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 from being in tampa, I wouldn't take freeman. Dixon and Kafka would have been my first two choices. The pat white thing is bizarre. He is basically a Brad Smith who can't catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm not a big fan of Dixon, but if they sign him it will only be a short time(I hope) that he will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsInMaine Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Love Dixon, have liked ever since his days at O. Had a good showing when he stepped in for Roethlisberger in PIT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 why didn't Dixon stick in Philly? he was even an Oregon guy. I like him, but this makes me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
