MClem06 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 While hating the fact that we may have to roam through other peoples garbage to "upgrade" our QB backup position, I was just looking at teams that have Depth at the QB position that would be a possible scrap heap for the Bills if Palmer looks like dookie tonight. Since It's only preseason this may be a good reason to watch teams other than the Bills for these "on the bubble" Players: Baltimore: Keith Wenning 3rd stringer - Bad show so far but former 10000 yard college career at Ball state. Won against Miami threw 6 tds in the game. Washington: Colt McCoy - former starter for the brownies we all know the story here, undersized but big heart. Cincy: AJ MCCarron or Matt Scott - the Bungles have 4 QB's right now so there will be opportunity here to watch how they play in their last chance. Pitt: Landry Jones will probably end up being a PS guy and he looked horrible in their last outing. Colts: Chandler Harnish - They've been reserving this guy , no nfl game exp to speak of but threw a td and 180 yds in this years preseason games so far. Titans: Zack Mettenberger - Developmental guy 3rd string no exp. Broncos: Zac Dysert - if they only keep 2 QB's.. which they may want 3 since Manning is up there in age. Cheifs - They have 4 QB's and Chase Daniel is their back up which could change. Tyler Bray & Aaron Murray are the options behind Daniel. Raiders - Trent Edwards... Just checking to see if you were still reading. No thanks, Capt checkdown can get cut and play arena football. He's 4th on their depth chart. Giants - Curtis Painter - Some real game exp - 8 games started for Indy 1500 yds 6tds 9ints ... Eagles - Matt Barkley (listed as 3rd str) starting their 4th preseason game Lions - We'll get a look at their 3rd stringer Kellen Moore tonight, but so far this preseason he's at a 115 passer rating not too shabby. Vikings- Ponder - NFL experience , may end up chopped if they don't trade him. Pats - Mallet - Pats evidently have been looking to get something for him.

If Mettenberger were to be cut (extremely, extremely unlikely) I would be on the phone with his agent before he even turned in his playbook. He would be starting by about week 6 IMO. I would take a chance on any of the KC guys as well. Edited August 28, 2014 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Matt Blanchard did some nice work with the Bears pre-season in 2012 I believe then had an injury and got cut. A lot of people liked him. He's on Carolina now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS 56 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The guy I would focus on is Matt Barkley in Philly. Having seen him in his USC days I feel he has good decision making ability. If it was not for his injury in his senior year he would have gone a lot higher than the 4th round. http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2014/08/matt_barkley_or_gj_kinne_who_is_better_suited_to_be_eagles_third-string_quarterback.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Ponder would be best but I think the Vikes would be smart to hold onto him. I like Chase Daniel but he has a decent contract and doubt he is cut. Matt Scott and Trent have already been cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollars 2 donuts Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I gotta tell ya, if we are talking initially a third string QB there are a few of those guys I would be interested in. Quick question, and I don't believe there is a chance of this happening and I don't like him as an option at QB, but how many of you would swap TJ for Mallet given that both teams are trying to dump these guys?

John from Riverside Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I would really like a vet with actual starting experience..... I mean...your not gonna get prime rib here....the best you can hope for is chopped stake that can actually run an NFL offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) There are a lot og good young guys on that list who have more talent than Tuel. I'd really like to see Mettenberger come in if possible. He at least has all the physical aspects. Edited August 28, 2014 by peterpan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 We will not be signing anyone young. A young QB would have 80% of fans clamoring for him to start in place of EJ immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I like the guys with some experience. I think painter would be decent. Does kellen Moore have any experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickedface Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 i'd be fine with mallet, barkley or ponder. mostly interested in mallet i thought he was a good choice coming out of college. he's spent enough time learning from marcia to have at least picked up some good hair care tricks if not that TD scoring fun. Both are much needed on this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If Mettenberger were to be cut (extremely, extremely unlikely) I would be on the phone with his agent before he even turned in his playbook. He would be starting by about week 6 IMO. I would take a chance on any of the KC guys as well. Just think if the bIlls had made the move for Alex Smith when he was available?Now we all witnessed his first 5 years in the league. he had issues and in a way still does. But, now if Smith as a bIll was starting, and The team had the luxury to let EJ learn how to play football for a couple of years on the bench. This team would be sniffing the playoffs right now. This team with a guy like Smith while not elite Would easily be the best QB on the team in years. it would have been interesting at the very least.

Chandler#81 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 You left out Palmer & Tuel Good work, OP. Thanks! It should come as no surprise that I'm hoping to see Manuel on the list. Of all the QB's mentioned who could get a Turk visit, he's the worst. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
