Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm really beginning to think that they are counting on EJ, and will bring in a decent insurance policy like Hoyer or Moore. Then draft a late round project QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 So the Brees, Rivers, Big Ben and Kaep' threads/talk has been a waste of time?! Damn... I'm really beginning to think that they are counting on EJ, and will bring in a decent insurance policy like Hoyer or Moore. Then draft a late round project QB. I'm not sold on EJ but I definitely think it's wrong for us to be giving up on him so early in a career. He's shown some good and some downright awful but I'm willing to let him grow and learn the pro position for another season - as should anyone.

Maddog69 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 His point was basically what a lot of people have said here. (I'm paraphrasing) "If he team has a premier or better than average QB and they get rid of him, now they are in the same boat as the other 20 teams looking for one" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) I'm really beginning to think that they are counting on EJ, and will bring in a decent insurance policy like Hoyer or Moore. Then draft a late round project QB. It's really our most likely option.... the miracle of Manning, Brees, etc being here are slim chances. The mid level free agents out there are competition, that's about it. And if that competition is at all close, just give it to EJ for a season, see if he develops. If he doesn't, then we go into next year with a first round pick that we can spend on another QB. Edited February 20, 2015 by Dorkington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Not surprising. No team with a proven competent (or better) incumbent at QB is going to trade themselves into the Bills situation. It's suicidal. Which is why I never understood the chatter about trading for Sam Bradford (what ... they're going to play Shaun Hill again? They're not in position to draft an immediate starter) or anyone like him. I still think Glennon will be moved if only to avoid the lamest QB controversy in history, but I don't see any proven starter getting traded -- Glennon doesn't count as one.

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Ya think? sorry made me do it and before someone mentions JC http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/ Cutler - 7 yr $126,700,000 AVG salary $18,100,000 - Guaranteed $54,000,000 Edited February 20, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The reality is there is only 2 realistic trade option now that RG is seemingly off the table. Bradford, RG and Cutler are the only guys that were ever realistic trade targets. The Bills will do their due diligence. I don't think that's any different from what the level headed people on here had suggested? The Brees type of stuff was ridiculous from the 1st time that it was suggested.

Glennon is hot garbage This isn't surprising. Who is going to trade a QB unless they know the guy can't play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 His point was basically what a lot of people have said here. (I'm paraphrasing) "If he team has a premier or better than average QB and they get rid of him, now they are in the same boat as the other 20 teams looking for one" Exactly. Total pipe dream to think guys like Big Ben, Eli, etc. aren't going to restructure and stay where they are. The Bills have a first round QB with less than one full season of experience. He remains the best bet for a long term solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play was adequate enough until Mack went down. When Hoyer has good protection and pieces in place he does well enough imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Hoyer has good protection and pieces in place he does well enough imo I see your point but just disagree. I think Hoyer is awful...inaccurate and too many INTs. Isn't this true for most?

Sure as a backup but the guy threw more INTs than tds. He has little upside beyond backup. And of course the QB trade market sucks. If there was a good QB, the team won't give them up for anything. If EJ is as bad as some people think, we will get a #1 overall pick and can pick a QB next year (and give up on him after 14 games ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not making excuses for him, but can't some of that be chalked up to who he had to throw to in Cleveland? And yeah, things got bad once he started forcing the ball to Gordon late in the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
