Maddog69 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I know there are a million threads about QBs. But I wanted to start this one to have it in one place. I want to see a post from each of you with the name of your #1 choice of QB that you would like to Bills to sign in Free agency. Leave off Manning and any of the trade options because none of them are definitely avialble. Of the available UFA's, who is the 1 name you want them to sign. This isn't really meant as a thread to debate who is the best. I just was interested in seeing who each of you had as your first choice. Mine is Ryan Mallett.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) My choice from this particular crop would be Brian Hoyer. I think Roman's offense hides his weaknesses well and he is mobile enough to need to be accounted for in the offense. From Kemp's Walt link Brian Hoyer, QB, Browns. Age: 29. Brian Hoyer began the year well, but things quickly fell apart for him when Alex Mack was lost for the season. Hoyer proved that he can be a very strong backup in this league, but he needs everything to be right for things to go well for him. If we play our offseason right, and QB is truly the missing piece, everything is right for Hoyer and things may go well Edited February 13, 2015 by BuffaloHokie13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Bradford if he becoms available. If not then Locker. I know what you are getting with Hoyer and Sanchez and you can't win with it. Low completion %s and too many picks. Locker has some mobility and an intruiging upside to me.... he had some struggles in Whisenhunt's system but prior to that he had played well in patches but struggled to stay healthy. He has some history with our new offensive consultant and I think would be a fit for Roman's offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Bradford would be my choice but he's currently not available. I'm not enamored with any of the UFAs but I think that'll they'll sign Matt Moore. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we still need to add a QB or two to compete to either win the job or be a quality backup...so my choices are Mallet or Hoyer... I'd also be happy with Matt Moore.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 To be clear, I'm not overly concerned with upside and development this FA period. I see the QB we bring in this year as a 2-3 year stop-gap (which may just as well be EJ) while we work on developing someone else or pursue other options. I think EJ and Hoyer would push each other enough to get a servicable job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

217014170 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) The challenge with Mallet is he is still hurt (torn pec). Word is that he will not be able to begin light lifting until mid to late March. All indications are that he will recover fully but there is a limited body of live action video with which to evaluate. The Texans are in a similar situation in Buffalo with a less than stellar/popular option at Plan B - The Beard. Odds favor Houston having leverage if they plan to re-sign Mallett just because it's very difficult for other teams to evaluate him either through past performance or live workout. Personally...I would really like to see Buffalo commit to EJ for the entire 2015 season. There is no QB currently available that can take over games and win on their own. Truthfully...those guys rarely become available in their prime anyway. As far as adding QB depth to the roster? I like Luke McCown being signed as a backup and maybe bring Sanchez in to compete as the starter and push EJ but if he doesn't clearly win the job by the third preseason game cut him. Draft the best QB you have rated on your board in the appropriate round and keep Tuel around through training camp to eat some reps. Worst case (a pretty good case, IMO) you have EJ starting behind a much improved OL and a stud tight end, a declared veteran backup in McCown (who can still be effective spot starting) with no delusions of grandeur, a rookie #3, and Tuel on the PS unless someone else with more potential is available. EJ needs confidence. Running him out there on essentially one week contracts does not instill confidence. And, honestly, the guys around him will work harder knowing they have to do a little more every week because he is not going to take the team on his back and carry them to victory...at least not yet.

John from Riverside Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Ultimately the best thing that could happen for this team is that the time that EJ Manuel held the clipboard combined with a OC that can run a legit NFL offense that masks QB weaknesses and shows off their strengths makes it so EJ beats out ANY competition that is brought into camp.....and does what we all hoped for but coudnt do in his second year. but We cannot do what the previous coaches did and not have a viable alternative. I want a QB with the guts that Orton had (early on) to put the ball on receivers downfield but also has mobility to escape pressure a little bit. At this point I am going to say Hoyer or Matt Moore.......and hope that EJ shows progression in his 3rd year and overtakes them at some point in the season.....not because Hoyer or Moore sucked.....but because EJ was just too good to keep on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Is there anything sadder than the "which QB will the Bills sign or trade for" QB debate? After we know who the guy is, will there ever be a more "who cares" reaction to something that was so endlessly debated? I'm not getting on this thread, just realizing that when we all finally know who this QB will be, it will register practically nothing in regards to fan confidence about the 2015 QB situation. If I were the Bills, I think I'd trade for either Foles or Glennon and give EJ Manuel a contemporary of his, who has more TDs, and who is widely viewed as a better QB than him. Then see what kind of fighter he is. EJ has a higher ceiling and a lower floor than those two QBs, time to finally see which way that stairway goes. Forced to choose I'd say they go and get Foles after Philly pulls off a trade up in the draft to pick Mariota. Say goodbye to that #50 pick for Foles.
