eball Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 sure two GMs could talk but it wont get you anywhere until march anyway, as you note. Hopefully the Bills have upgraded their circa 1960s telecommunications equipment Buddy Nix was using when he and the Tampa GM were shooting the stojan.

Best Player Available Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have a sneaking suspicion that EJ Manuel is not part of the plan. Just a hunch.^^this^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Chris Palmer hire makes me think Jake Locker.Why? Is there a connection between the two besides the 6 months Palmer spent on the Titans staff before getting fired during Locker's rookie year?

Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Believe it or not there are at least 7 free agent QBs that have started more playoff games then the Bills have played in since 2000. You add Schaub and Cassel, that's 9. Why? Is there a connection between the two besides the 6 months Palmer spent on the Titans staff before getting fired during Locker's rookie year?No. I think he was fired his 2nd year.

Mark80 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I'm sure a lot of Bills fans don't want him, but I would guess that RGIII is being referred to as the QB option not being talked about much. I'd put Johnny Football in that category too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I would love RG3. Guys you can eliminate are franchise QBs. No team is trading their proven franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a shot if you could get him for a fair price. Every available QB has flaws/risks. Griffin seems to have the most upside of anyone being discussed.

John from Riverside Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I have long wanted RG III in here Just didnt think it was gonna be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negativo Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Only direction I know of that nobody's talked about much is a trade, and I have no idea who would be a viable trade option. Doubt it would be an old veteran. RG3, maybe? Edited February 4, 2015 by negativo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletha Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Although this approach can yield some positive results, there is a major flaw with it. No matter how good the D, the day will come when you need top QB performance to counter-attack the opponents top QB, like when you get deep into the playoffs. At that point, a mediocre EJ ain't gonna be enough. If the goal is to merely make the playoffs and lose a wildcard game, sure, EJ could work for that if he has improved. Thats true but theres the counter to that, if you have a great QB a day will come when you need your defense to win a game for you. I agree that there will be a need for our QB to win some games and he may not be able to deliver but lets hope those games dont come in the playoffs.

BillsVet Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Chris Palmer hire makes me think Jake Locker. Locker to me is like going after Kevin Kolb in the 2013 UFA signing period. They banked on him to play and, surprise surprise, he got hurt. I love Locker's athleticism, but at this point you don't put a "what-if" type guy out there and just hope it works out. He's missed 25 games in the last 3 seasons. The Bills did a similar thing 2 years ago, although back then they just needed someone for Manuel to beat for the starting job. Kolb didn't help that by getting concussed in the pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the vet solutions are guys that have missed time to injury. if they hadnt they wouldnt be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that there will be a need for our QB to win some games and he may not be able to deliver but lets hope those games dont come in the playoffs. I think we are pretty much in agreement, but you have to assume the games when you need the top gun QB will be in the playoffs, almost for sure. Look at the starting QBs for the "final four" teams this year. No surprise who they were. This doesn't mean we don't need a top D either! We need both!
