Spillnation Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Now I am well aware this post is blastworthy and look forward to the always creative remarks. But if the Eagles decide to part with Vick I could see him considering Buffalo if the offer hits the table. Here's how it makes sense. We wanted him when he first returned from lock up. Of course being the Bills we got overlooked for Andy Reid. He beat out Kolb and were still paying that bums contract. His style of play is what we are asking of EJ to learn and who better to learn it from than an all pro mobile vet. Of course there Is the risk that Vick would ignite a controversy over Qb but that's not what would entice him to come here. Ej is a risk, has missed considerable time as does Mike Vick every season. Mike can see how injuries expose weakness and he would realize that it Is very possible to take the #1 spot here if Manuel gets hurt again. It also would provide Vick a decent amount of time to rest, learn our system and help groom Ej. I would approach this as a duel qb system. We're hoping Ej stays healthy but if not we're more than ready to sub Vick in without changing our game plan. And I could see Vick lighting it up for the latter half of a season, playoff Vick? I like Ej, seems smart, humble an all the intangibles you want. If Mike Vick has learned anything playing his style of quarterback through the years it's the toll it takes on the body and how important that lesson is to teach Manuel is an understatement. There are plenty more reasons why this makes sense but I'd rather hear from others. Hate, Love, Confused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spillnation Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 It could inevitably end up as Mike Vick starting with very little transition having to take place. But I can't imagine any Bills fan feels like they are in more capable hands with Thad starting over Mike Vick if he were an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 No. I don't believe the Bills WANT EJ to run. It would expose his skinny legs to serious injury. I think the Bills want him to develop good pocket awareness and just shuffle around to create throwing opportunity. Vick is anything but a pocket passer.

He's too stupid to know he copied the avatar of one of the board's best-liked posters. Some a-hole did it to Mead awhile back too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 We'd be down to our third stringer by Week 2. How I wish Fitz had never been shoe-horned into a starting role. He's an ideal backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spillnation Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Sage, I agree with your comment on Fitz and he probably would have restructured his deal if it weren't for the deadspin fallout. And I think you have unknowingly revealed the bigger problem, keeping our qb's healthy behind a strong offensive line. Top priority in the off-season for sure.

Fitz would have never restructured and I don't blame him. Why take a pay cut willingly when you know you can get back up money anywhere else? He had nothing to lose and $50 million to gain by playing hardball at the negotiating table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leelee Phoenix Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Vick won't work here. He, and most of the fanbase, will quickly wonder why he's not starting. EJ must not be questioned as our "franchise QB". Plus, odds are another team signs him a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
