Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What risk ? T.T. and E.J . are far better than captain checkdown 2. Hell Simms looks better than Cassel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The Bills do not need to create cap space for this season. They also don't need to waste cap money. It can go to an extension for one of the younger guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If you cut Cassel now, Belichek will scoop him up fast, and learn Romans offense. It would save money if he's gone but why not keep all 3? Lots of insurance! Why couldn't Belichick just look at films of the 49ers for the past few years? They also don't need to waste cap money. It can go to an extension for one of the younger guys. Maybe but I don't see it as a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Cassel hasn't been with the Pats for over 6 years now. I doubt he could come in and pick up their system in time to play before Tommy Boy returns. "McDaniels directed the Matt Cassel-led Patriots' offense as the team finished the season with an 11-5 record." Spent years in McDaniels system but hey, not going to argue with you about it.

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Maybe but I don't see it as a waste. If he's at best the 3rd QB, the odds of him playing are minuscule. If the Bills do lose both guys in a game, they go with Simms and see how that goes. If it doesn't, give Cassel a call and make him a decent offer to return.

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 trade one of the three for RG3 no way he gets traded with that remaining contract (2 years and $20M). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That's the point I hope everyone understands. No one knows these guys better than the coaches do. Whichever QB is chosen to start week #1, I have 100% confidence in the decision the coaches arrvie at. It's great to know we have 3 capable starters if a guy goes down. and an OC we can have some trust in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bster Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 None of the QB's should be cut, at least until after the NE game. With Brady out, I am sure the Pats will sign the QB we release. If the Patriots want to sign Cassel and have him go against the Bills D like he has in training camp.....Sign me up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Keep the top three. Support whoever Rex et al choose as the starter. Just my two cents. Edited August 31, 2015 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I hope they keep all 3 and put Simms on PS. I don't get the mentality that now we have options, let's start trading them to optimize. JMO, we will be happy we kept our options. This position is SO important it is just fine to have some redundancy. IMO I'm not sure Simms is eligible for practice squad.

Punching Bag Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 How often do teams get down to their 3rd string QB in games? I don't know, I'm asking, but I'd be willing to bet the percentage is minuscule. Arizona got into playoffs on 3rd QB last year. Have seen teams down to 4th QB. Note: running QBs tend to be knocked out faster than pocket QBs UNLESS the running QB is shifty and good at dodging/avoiding hits rather than one that has not learned to slide.

T master Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 What's the point of saving money this late in the game with nothing to spend it on? Can you say MARCEL DAREUS ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dibs Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Arizona got into playoffs on 3rd QB last year. Have seen teams down to 4th QB. ..... 2013 Bills were down to 4th QB. Oh how quickly some people forget. That said, I'd risk it and cut(trade) Cassel. I can't see him being able to progress us through the playoffs, and I can't see that going with Simms for a few games during season(compared to Cassel) is going to much hinder our chances at making the playoffs. I would definitely take the risk that our #1 and #2 QBs don't both go down for a substantial amount of time(at the same time) during the season, but make it back for the playoffs.
