timekills17 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I noticed this also. It was funny how Collinsworth made it seem like they really put things together on that drive. He never mentioned that their starters were playing against the Bill's second or third string. Actually, Collinsworth specifically mentioned the Giants first string offense was playing against the Bills second string defense. Al Michaels was the one who said the Giants finally looked like they were getting their act together, and Collinsworth said "What I see is a first string offense doing okay against the Bills second string." He also mentioned multiple times how impressed he was with the Bills o-line depth, something that has concerned most of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Josh Allen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It all depends on who it is. I like the ex Bears and cowboys QB Kyle Orton Kyle Orton's career statistics 83TD 59Int 15,000 yards He is a pretty good QB I would chose him as my Back up And keep developing Jeff Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You herd it hear last Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) I'm sorry my hate for Colinsworth overshadowed my hearing It's still OK to hate Collinsworth, if that helps. I used to like Al, but he seems so robotic now. They might be real nice guys, or elitist d-bags. I dunno. If I had to guess though...

youngunz Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) How is it that we start a thread to cut a backup QB who was serviceable last year and then tonight when he was on the field with practice squad players and others who will have these three games as memories, think that he has no talent. Please don't forget Tuel was running with the 1s and 2s. Edited August 4, 2014 by youngunz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Let me ask you guys this: If a veteran or even semi-veteran QB gets released, do the Bills bring him in for a look? I would have a look, if they are decent QBs. I do think Orton is worth a look as stated above he has been a decent player (at times). EJ may still fail, betting our future on these guys is a best a gamble and at worst a mistake wait to happen. There may be more available. Seasoned players make better back ups IMHO. One of the only things I question about the FO decisions so far this this year and unfortunately a big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm assuming his quality replacement is just out there waiting for the Bills to pick up the phone, inexplicably not called by any of the other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thought i would start this...seeing someone will say something soon anyway. well no need to be hasty but I'm not his biggest fan, so might as well bring in Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeCruise Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Orton could steady the ship if EJ were hurt/ineffective this year. He looked pretty capable filling in for Romo last year. Playing behind our solid looking O-line could be a selling point for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Unless the bills are really comfortable with Tuel (and I don't think they are), they need to cut Thad and bring in a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I change this to an "I hate Al Michaels post" ? If you don't like Collinsworth as a dude, that's totally up to you. But in my opinion and that of most knowledgeable and intelligent football fans, he is generally regarded as the best color man in football, if not all of sports.

CountDorkula Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 It all depends on who it is. I like the ex Bears and cowboys QB Kyle Orton Kyle Orton's career statistics 83TD 59Int 15,000 yards He is a pretty good QB I would chose him as my Back up And keep developing Jeff Tuel I dont think he would work. Need someone that could run this offense. Someone that can move a little bit at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 really, i dont understand what the expectation is for thad, if anyone is in favor of cutting him. hes a guy that cost us pennies and can fill in for short stretches when needed. hes a pretty average 2, and great 3.

Fan in Chicago Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Unless the bills are really comfortable with Tuel (and I don't think they are), they need to cut Thad and bring in a vet. I have been advocating that irrespective of how Tuel and Thad develop. IMHO, there needs to be atleast one proven vet on the roster (Thad isn't proven). I was under the impression no backup QB of note was available and am glad this thread informed me that Orton is. In his time in Chicago, Orton was not spectacular but adequate. He is the kind of guy who can guide a team and would be quite a good backup. Plus he is, what 31 ? Which isn't too old.
