I still think the chance of him being here in September are very remote. I think they can go with him if they want to (I'm pretty sure they don't) but they can also land a bridge Quarterback without the baggage of history here too. They are in a decent position to do that. Sure....I just like that they are not jettisoning a starter without a plan in place That never ends well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but clearly it would've been much more effective if he passed on those attempts instead of sneaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes! sit on a message board? oh, so now posting on a forum is considered a day long thing? I know of one poster here that likely spends his day sitting on this board but I have been known to go days without a visit. as for the topic that has been now beat to death. they will have their bridge QB but it wont likely be taylor. I see along with a new OC a new QB under center. some see it their way, I see it mine. we all shall see soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo, Cleveland, the Jets, Arizona and maybe Denver (though I still think Cousins goes there). Is Arizona more attractive? Possibly but I don't think it is a slam dunk. We are not competing with the creme de la creme in this market. If Buffalo is interested in Bradford as a bridge (I have no idea whether they are or not) I think they'd have a pretty good chance of landing him. I get all that and very fair response Gunner...but overall, lets look at all the other places (all things in the contract being equal) in a prove it short deal. Just my opinion of course... Cleveland - Weather can suck too, so close to a wash. WR group substantially better, and armed with great draft picks to potentially add more weapons. So a QB who plays here can have a good array of offensive weapons to work with. Jets - Weather is close to a wash again. Our weapons at WR and RB are better than Jets, so we have a little advantage there. Jets are a bigger market team, so could get more attention if he does well, so exposure advantage there. But I also think Jets land Cousins, so not sure they will be in the market. But they are close to Bills, but also more likely to pay more than the Bills...so advantage Jets. Arizona - Better across the table than Buffalo for a prove it deal...better overall team, great weather, no big market media pressure, etc. A guy goes there and has success, they can both hold the job and create demand for their future services because they can be a playoff team with good QB play or better. Denver - Weather is essentially a wash, but they have a better overall roster and good WR's to work with. Like Denver, a guy goes in on a prove it deal could easily see that as a place to have a lot of success which both keeps the rookie on the bench and also greatly increases his value. So its not like Buffalo is some crap hole...but looking around at prove me spots, I would think Bills will have to outbid some of those other cities. We have questions marks at WR, a new OC who has yet to prove himself in the NFL as an OC, bad weather, and so on. I would think for them to choose us over one of the others its going to be because we need to outbid the others for their services. Again...just my opinions on how I would see each city and opportunity if I was a FA QB. Buffalo would be last on my list on a prove it deal all things being equal because the other choices have a few or a lot of advantages that might help them shine more and for longer. But they would also certainly sign here if we went after them to be a committed starter, only talking in an all things equal 1 year prove it deal (which is the only deal that makes sense for the Bills if they trade up for a QB).

GunnerBill Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I disagree with your analysis. I'd put the Bills ahead of the Jets and Cleveland as options for someone like a Sam Bradford. And even if they don't get Bradford there is McCarron and Bridgewater and McCown and Fitzpatrick. The Bills are not going to struggle to find a bridge Quarterback. There are loads of them out there. Bradford is probably the number 1 "bridge guy" but he is far from the only option. They have to rip off the band aid on Tyrod. Even if it means a downgrade bridge for what we both agree could be a very small number of games at the start of 2018 (if they even make it out of camp not already the backup).
