Then we can talk about him being hardly better than Fitz ?? This. Not to mention 13 passing tds and 1 int (if i added the ones from this game correctly). I do agree with other posters, though. He does enjoy quite the stable of receivers and a system that he claims fits him perfectly, the best fit of any he's been a part of. Edited December 10, 2013 by BillsBackersChicago
Proteus Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 You mean how about Jay Cutler? Because despite McCown having two beast recievers, which everyone wants to use to discredit him, he is still doing more than Cutler ever has with them. McCown is going to be the starter in Chicago going forward. I would expect at least a 4-5 year deal coming soon. Cutler is a free agent and the Bears will let him test the waters.

Hsp08 Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Let's give Marc Trestman credit, he has done a wonderful job with McCown.
Saint Doug Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I love December. Digging through other team's garbage to find a QB is an annual tradition this time of year. Hey, I guess I'm game for it. Edited December 10, 2013 by kas23
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 @SInow Marc Trestman makes it clear: Jay Cutler will be the Bears’ starter when healthy: http://on.si.com/1kx8mqn
YoloinOhio Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 He has looked good. But a 34 yr old journeyman on his 7th team... seems like a Fitzy to me.
thewildrabbit Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Sure, if the Bills can get new Bears HC Marc Trestman with him.

Boludo Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 backup QB is not a position of need for the bills we locked up our backup QB of the future with our first round draft pick we need to search for a starting QB now

I'd like to see anyone on this team make that TD catch Alshon Jeffrey just made. It was a great catch, but as soon as I got over my Jeffries man rush I realized that I had just seen a throw (almost) as perfect as Big Ben to Holmes. McCown's ball placement and timing with his receivers has been unbelievable. I really had no idea he could play this well.
dubs Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I'd be ok with him being brought in as a backup. Let's also sign Hakeem Nicks (also a FA). Nicks. We need Nicks. Nicks.

Even backups have good arms and can make nice throws, but it's hard to do week in and week out and stay ahead of defensive coordinators. I think many forget that even the worst backup qbs were often top prospects that have all the tools to make a few plays or have good games and think that it projects to a lot more than it really does when they see that flash.

Cutler has never been as good as McCown is right now and he's not a d bag. Cutler has been to the playoffs once. He's Jeff George with better hair.
Rocky Landing Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Josh McCown is 34 years old. Not exactly a long-term solution. I would be more intrigued with Kirk Cousins.
RyanC883 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I don't know why people would not think it's a good idea. The OP said as a veteran BACKUP, not to replace EJ or even Thad necessarily. I'm all for it.

I would be more intrigued with Kirk Cousins. Please explain why. What has Cousins ever done to prove he is a starting NFL QB? Be a 4th round draft pick? But hey anyone is better than EJ obviously.

Signing Nicks would make things WAY easier in the draft in terms of the need at wideout. I am of the very strong opinion that Stevie is out of here after the season, cap hit or not. The Bills have shown that they are not at all reluctant to swallow huge cap hits in order to cut players. Edited December 11, 2013 by Bill from NYC

The Giants were phasing Nicks out anyways. He lost a step and he struggles with injuries. not worth the money IMO.

As I said, he needs to be healthy but make no mistake.....when he IS healthy he is WAY better than Cruz, let alone SJ.
