Coach Tuesday Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Yup. The spin job focused on getting fans engaged in the offseason (and buying 2017 season tickets) has already begun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Bills aren't good at football but they know how to market. If Cardale plays and wins a few games you now have your off-season excitement built up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If TT is the QB next year I will be watching the games, but only when they're on the regular DTV channles (ESPN or FOX) or on the internet.

PromoTheRobot Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cardale may well win 2 or 3. The problem is what happens when the people have the book on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cardale may well win 2 or 3. The problem is what happens when the people have the book on you? Yup. If his accuracy and field reading are weak, he will be exposed before too long. I was not a fan of his play in college with regard to how it projected to the pros, if you know what I mean.

sodbuster Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Jay Skurski doesn't spin for the Bills baby....check his other reads; he was calling Ron Darby a rapistTrue, but this could stir up a qb controversy and help push Rex out, who really gets under a lot of the local sports media personalities skin.

BillsVet Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 The timing of the front office versus coaching staff article from Vic was not coincidental either. There's a fire going on behind closed doors and the sides are squaring off. Discussion of Cardale playing is part of the battle going on over there. Yet, those front office people calling for CJ are the same who hadn't found a QB through 4 seasons. TPegs has some tough decisions to make and the media is trying to influence him.

There were a couple of similar stories right around the same 24-hour period. http://buffalonews.com/2016/12/08/anthony-lynn-says-rookie-cardale-jones-want-waiting-runway/ the story is from the middle of last week. Didn't come out today. And Jones could be the real deal, or not. I don't think Jones will have an impact one way or the other on ticket sales. We face weak teams from here on out. Even if he plays and throws 350 yards a week and 3 TD's, expect people to be rightly skeptical given the past 17 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cardale may well win 2 or 3. The problem is what happens when the people have the book on you? At this point I am not sure what we have to lose Yes.....C. Jones would probably throw like 2 picks a game.....but does have his merits as well Im ready for change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones would probably throw like 2 picks a game.....but does have his merits as well Im ready for change Cardale is a Jameis Winston type QB (not the type Rex usually wants out there). He's not a caretaker/game manager. He's going to turn the ball over trying to make a play. He takes risks. He makes huge plays too. He will have you pulling your hair out and then doing cartwheels. He throws into coverage and wants his WR to make a play. I get the impression Rex wants to run the ball, throw it minimally and play D. Obviously that's only worked vs bad teams. But Cardale just doesn't seem like the type of roller coaster QB Rex wants and that's why I don't think he had much say in this draft pick.
