freeagentqb Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Something is wrong with this organization if they cut a QB thatt they throw into game with 2 days training... Totally agree..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He didnt really get a fair shake. So maybe they plan to re-sign him after the first week, so his salary isnt (as a practical matter) guaranteed. Then he can learn the O, etc. Oh Snap ! This Is what the Bills do well lately . very budget aware. Fair but a bit more intelligent then previous regimes. good point.. on both counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orton's Arm Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Any guy that cannot pick up the Bills offense in 48 hours, then go play a game stink it up, isn't what Marrone needs. The bIlls do not coddle their QB's thats for sure. Good post. When you think about it, this comes across as a jerk move by the Bills. Palmer gave the Bills something (the Bears' playbook). What did he get in return? Was he on the roster on opening day, so that he'd at least be guaranteed a salary for the year? No. Was he given a real chance to compete for a roster spot? Again, no. I just hope the Bills didn't use false or misleading assurances to cajole him into signing in the first place. If they were open and upfront with him from the beginning, I'd be okay with this. But I think it's more likely they over-promised and under-delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's more likely they over-promised and under-delivered. Agreed, But I really doubt the Bills did that. Many have criticized the Bills for being too nice, and upfront, with players---not ruthless enough. I have a feeling Palmer knew exactly what he was brought in for. Can't say for sure, of course.

BarleyNY Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Palmer didn't get used. That was a solid pickup at the time. They gave him a shot and he flopped. He got paid tho, lets not act like he was a victim in all of this Of course. Hard to pity a guy who got paid a good amount of money to play football. But the NFL is a very dirty business. I agree that the NFL is a tough - and often dirty - business. And I agree that Jordan Palmer knows that deal. But I'm not sure if he actually did get paid by the Bills. Players don't get paid for preseason games so he'd have only netted his signing bonus. Did anyone see where he got paid a signing bonus - and how much it was? I saw nada on that.

Lombardi1 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Here we are a week from opening day, and the team's hopes rest on a 2nd year QB?! Not to mention one of the backups is as predictable as the rising and setting sun (Tuell to Hogan, Tuell to Hogan, Tuell to Hogan, etc.) Is anybody at the wheel, or are we just going to mail in another losing season?! Earth to Whaley, start making some smart moves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 hope they got dirt on Chicago that all the signing was IMO. Hey Jordan, come have a cup of Tim Hortons, while your here we like to ask you a few questions about Da Bears. Next.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphean Bills Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I didn't even get my wagon out of the styrofoam packing peanuts, much less hitched up. Dang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
