Big C Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 OK. Well, I think at this point Tuel is our clear #2. He seemed to have a command of the offense and went through his progressions pretty well. Not a perfect performance obviously, but he looked like a capable backup. Thad was a pleasant surprise last year. Made a lot of mistakes, but played with heart, was tough, and made some clutch plays. He looked rather awful tonight and I have no idea what happened there. I don't think we should have to worry about playing our #3 QB this year, all things going according to plan.

reddogblitz Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Tuel is a pre season/training camp hero. He looked great vs Colts last year and pretty much stunk it up from there. Thaddeus is not pretty, but he's a gamer. I still like him better than Tuel and hope he doesn't get cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Josh Allen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would not cut Thad yet but Tuel has more potential. He played well in the KC game last year And the preseason. Had horrible game vs Cleveland. Look he was a I drafted rookie. I think He is a good quarterback worth developing. He has a good arm. I ment to say I drafted rookie This auto correct sucks He was a Un-drafted rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hplarrm Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thought i would start this...seeing someone will say something soon anyway. Nope. Why panic and cut players who would be a great #3 disaster QB fror us if Tuel continues to play well enough to be our #2. Fans simply look like idiots when they call for unneeded cuts.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well, you can't cut Thad without having another QB on the roster, so the answer to the OP's title question is an obvious no. If you get a decent backup to replace him? Sure. Side note: Tom Coughlin is an A hole for playing his starters against our 2nd stringers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Josh Allen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I never said I would cut Thad. I just like what I see In Tuel. He has good QB instincts. His arm is strong. Remember the bomb to Goodwin in the KC game. He tore Indy up I think with 2 or 3 Td's in last preseason. I like his heart. Now that he is in his 2nd season He looks a lot more confident and knows what he's doing. What's not to like about him. I like Thad also but Tuel has a lot of upside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Let's cut guys after game 1 of a 5 game preseason. Really smart. Good stuff. We cut tjax before camp last year. Proved quite awesome as we ran through about a half dozen qbs from there. We should definitely cut a qb early for no reason again this year.

metzelaars_lives Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 This is a ridiculous thread title. Let's see what happens after 3 or 4 of these practice games. One thing I will say is that Tuel's elongated throwing motion is pretty unorthodox and maybe a little troubling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 Josh Allen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Tuel is like a piece of clay, there moulding Him. If he keeps progressing like he is some day He may be a starting QB in the NFL I think he's a real good prospect for being A undrafted 2nd year player. He's a lot better then Nesbit of the giants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You herd it hear last Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thad Lewis is an excellent 3rd string QB to have on our roster. Cutting him would be a mistake given his solid 3rd string QBing performance last year. It is our problem and not his, that we expected 1st string play from him.

17 Josh Allen Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 No need to say anything. It's my opinion I feel strongly that Tuel is a good QB With the proper coaching and help He could turn into a real good NFL QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should definitely cut a qb early for no reason again this year. yeah Tuel looks okay, seems they like him. I am okay with that he sort of impressed me last year and from reports and tonight's exposition looks better this year. I would be okay with him at back up if he continues that. Thad is like Fitz in some ways.... I don't find that so impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I can't believe that Dennis Dixon is the teams 4th QB. He's fallen since his days with the Steelers I guess. That said, I wouldn't cut any QB yet, if at all. It's not an easy position to bring in someone off the street if you get hit by injuries...as we learned last year.

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...

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...

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...

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.
