NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I can not believe how many people are for signing Matt Moore. MATT FREAKING MOORE!?! I'd rather have Kyle Orton no question. Orton throws more accurately if you can believe that. You all are nuts. I'm for Locker and Hoyer to push EJ. IF Bradford is let go, he's number one. Lol Matt Moore.Forget about the Hurt Locker that guy can't play a full gm. Kellen Moore people stop smoking that stuff. Bradford only if we can still sign Matt Moore that way we have adequate depth at the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I've always been reasonably impressed with Moore. Wouldn't disappoint me at all if he's the FA they brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Jake Locker has talent, but probably can't play more than eight games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I got an idea, The Bills should be innovative let's sign Locker, Vick & Moore trade for Bradford and use a baseball staff approach. Along with Ej that's 5 Qbs. We can either use them in rotation of games or use them according to in game situations. For example if we're down by multiple scores or in 2 min drills we use Bradford to throw the ball. In short yardage situations we can use Locker, Ej or Vick in read option qb keeper plays. Vick should always start gms to keep D´s off balance. Ej can come in to start 3rd Quarters considering that he's a good 2nd half QB. Last but not least Matt Moore can be the reliable closer QB that comes in and closes games when we have a lead. I remember in late 80's when John Elway got hurt for the Broncos. The Broncos employed a similar system with Tommy Maddox & Kubiak. It was weird to watch but interesting non the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Michael Vick is a lefty so we would have the righty, lefty matchups going for us on the oline and with corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the one season in which Moore was actually a starter (2011 -- started 12 games), he completed 60.5% of his passes at 7.2 yds/attempt and had a QB rating of 87.1. Not spectacular by any means, but entirely serviceable in a run-oriented offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team needs a game manager who is capable of big plays when needed. Edited January 28, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 As a backup. Sure give him a tryout. Clean slate for EJ. He's the #1 and has to be outperformed in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 All three of those guys suck ass. Worse than Moore. Especially Flynn and Sanchez. Yeah, I wouldn't want any of those guys, but Moore is a benchwarmer, for sure. He had one fraction of a season where he was the starter in Miami and he went 6-7.....and that was 4 years ago. Looks like the best thing to happen to Moore professionally is for him to have sat and done nothing for 3 seasons. Now people here can covet him for that one brief period where he was another mediocre starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Sanchez, Flynn, Hoyer are all better, cheaper choices. Not looking for cheaper! As a backup. Sure give him a tryout.

NoSaint Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Now people here can covet him for that one brief period where he was another mediocre starter.thats most of whats hitting the market these days -- so take your pick of who its going to be. hes 6 of one a half dozen of the other with a lot of guys probably. i like that hes a vet and has been comfortable and gotten good reviews on pairing with a young QB before. he has the ability to knock out a .500ish season like orton if everything else crashes and burns. i think hes the type of guy that fits a role on this roster well. Hes KO with some mentoring skills, commitment and less neck beard. Edited January 28, 2015 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GG Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Bills were willing to pay $5 million for a career .500 QB that provided insurance. That should certainly entice any of the pending FA QBs to Buffalo, especially when you throw in a carrot of a legit starting opportunity. Moore reupped with Miami 2 years ago because Tanneyhill was still a work in progress. Now that he appears entrenched in the job, Moore would be wise to consider other options, especially if they offer better pay and better odd at playing. It may sound cliche, but I can't see Moore playing worse than Orton did towards the latter part of 2014. (My first interview question would be, do you slide short of a first down on a third & one run?) I don't know why this needs to be said again in 2015, but franchise and even quality starting caliber QBs may hit free agency maybe, once a decade. I don't see any opportunity for a winning QB with solid future potential being available in free agency this year. So from the likely available crop, Moore is the best choice. Bills seem to be willing to pay top dollar for the position, and that's a good thing that we don't need to settle anymore. I still think Whaley is swinging for the fences to land a QB via trade before free agency starts. But if that falls through, I see them being very aggressive in trying to land the best available FA QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
