Webster Guy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 After somehow getting 3 killer Linebackers in Hughes, Zach and Lorax without burning a single draft pick, I'm starting to think Whaley's magic touch is moves like this and not the draft. Wondering why he wasn't cracking the lineup when Ebron was out half of this season though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wondering why he wasn't cracking the lineup when Ebron was out half of this season though.... I'm guessing it's because he's spent most of the year on Giants' PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering why he wasn't cracking the lineup when Ebron was out half of this season though.... Well it makes sense that his expertise is in finding guys already in the pros because he spent 10 years in Pittsburgh as their pro personnel guy in their front office, so that's kind of all he has ever done in the FO (with that said I'm more than happy with his drafts so far, unless he's never supposed to miss on a player- which all GMs do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LT was only on the Lions PS for about 24 hours before the Bills signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland Rocks? Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Impressive move by the Bills GM. I wonder if they wanted to sign Pryor in FA, realized he would be $$$, and went this route... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Buffalo Bills Verified account @buffalobills We've signed former QB, current TE, Logan Thomas to the roster.

Maury Ballstein Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Might be the second best QB on the team now. Wasn't too long ago the Cardinals thought he was the heir apparent to Carson Palmer No. he is definitely not a qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No. he is definitely not a qb Stats say that, as an NFL QB, Logan Thomas has never completed a pass that didn't go for a TD. I think it's a good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I never expected him to pan out as an NFL QB, even when he ended up getting drafted. His size/speed combo is undeniable though. Favorite game I've been at live: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane nelson Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 My daughter went to VT and I watched most Logan T games. He is a great athlete, but not a NFL caliber QB and never will be. At times he looked brilliant but most of the time he looked lost. The position to him was not intuitive. Should have always been a TE. He will be a project, but it should, I hope, pay off. Good move by the Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 While I am not necessarily expecting any contribution from LT this year, I don't think it is totally out of the question he could be active on gameday and on the field in red zone packages. His size alone makes defenses need to scheme differently on coverage and if teams can put DL out there to catch TDs in the endzone sometimes I don't see why we couldn't do the same with him. It's not like they are asking him to run routes and play 30 offensive snaps right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'll play Negative Nancy on this one. We only have 53 roster spots. They're precious. And we're giving one to a long-term project? To a guy who only decided to play TE this past weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a guy who only decided to play TE this past weekend? Which means we must feel confident in his ability to become a good TE, and we must feel good about our current roster makeup of the other 52 guys (ability and health) - just to play devils advocate to your negative Nancy And maybe we also think we can use him this season in spots, like yolo said above, in the red zone if for nothing else than to force D to account for his size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we're giving one to a long-term project? To a guy who only decided to play TE this past weekend? It's not crazy for teams to add high upside guys to their active roster. That is how you snipe them from a PS. At the same time, teams often try to bring guys up from the PS to protect them from being sniped. With Powell and Bryant going on IR and Seantrel suspended the spots were there. I think that they only have been playing 2 TEs so it isn't like the position had a ton of depth anyways.

They've been shuffling that Blake Christian guy back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
