NoSaint Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Clearly you've never observed management that knows their jobs are frequently on the line if decisions they've made are not good enough. obviously trading for value he would never get to use is the right course of action, instead of simply creating the best roster he can.

I can observe but I try not to fabricate situations because they fit my subjective opinion. I try to be as objective as I can be with things I don't know about.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I think he will move to Dallas . Hire a cute illegal nanny and housekeeper to help out his wife. Orton walking away from big money is still a mystery to me. No mystery there. In the dictionary next to 3rd and pu$$y is a picture of Orton.

Is criticism and skepticism warranted when a GM has produced 2 teams which combined to go 15-17? Because if you want to debate, I will. OTOH, using hypothetical arguments I don't much care for. I remember in 2008 then-GM Russ Brandon was adamant about keeping Losman after Edwards had become the starter. Brandon's contention then was that retaining a backup was necessary because QB injuries occur: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d807cc3d5/printable/despite-trade-request-bills-anticipate-keeping-losman Why then is that same sentiment not applicable? Do the Bills have a veteran backup the coaching staff believes can play in a short stretch? And why would a team in win-now mode trade a backup QB for future assets which don't help in 2015.

eball Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Boy oh boy, do the local media have their collective panties in a wad over this Cassel trade. Some are saying the coaches "clearly" preferred Cassel and therefore implying Whaley is going rogue again to protect his boy EJ. I think Rex handled it well in the PC -- they can win with EJ if needed and he'll continue to develop better as a 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 This is a shrewd business, Rhino skin is needed to work for the NFL. Not reporting is career suicide, he will report and I wouldn't be surprised if he plays in the playoffs before we do. Imo I would. It won't be this year and I doubt he's with the Cowboys next year. @MatthewFairburn Rex Ryan said the Cassel trade is more about EJ Manuel than Matt Cassel. They think EJ will develop more as the 2 than 3. This was obvious. They're just starting to get this, as well as the "what makes your team better is being able to look past the present" now?

JESSEFEFFER Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) This is what I threw out there when Rex had his press conference after they brought back Cassel: I'll play the game. In the following quote: What was going to follow the "....."? "We brought Matt Cassel back,” Ryan said in an unscheduled meeting with reporters. “We said all along we like our three quarterbacks which is obvious. For your depth chart purposes Matt will be two, EJ [Manuel] will be three, but that means…. As I have said from day one we like all three of the guys and we never want to lose anybody obviously. So that is why we made the decision we did." The "your depth chart" implies the one released to the media. The "but" implies that there is more to the depth chart than appearances. What that is, I do not know. But I will speculate for the fun of it. The Bills like to have Cassel with the ones in practices, running plays that are in the game plan. They think there is something of benefit to Tyrod to have Matt Cassel there with him during practices and reviewing the tape. EJ will run the scout team because it's a better look for the D to defend a QB that can challenge them more and good for EJ because it gives him more reps that what the typical #2 gets. If they were actually going to miss/replace Tyrod for any significant amount of time, I don't know what the hell happens then. But if the answer to that is EJ, then what you have is an atypical #2/#3 situation which seems to be what Rex was starting to say and then didn't finish. #2 and #3 for the purposes of your (the press release roster) roster, but the Bills' situation is not what it seems. Somehow. This is totally consistent with the trade. If this was the correct reading of the situation, Matt Cassel might have wanted the move because he has a better chance of actually earning the money back with the playing incentives that were added in to his new contract. If he was a gameday #2 only and EJ were the long term replacement #2 then I could see Matt Cassel being OK with the trade where he could see more actual playing time in Romo's absence.
