FluffHead Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) @TomPelissero: The #Vikings have stayed in touch on Sam Bradford, but he may have options, provided he can pass a physical. One team to watch: the #Bills. Good scheme fit and they have some interest, sources say. Case Keenum could be an option in Buffalo, too.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Ian Rappaport chimed in on it as well on his Twitter. If Bradford can get a clean bill of health (and that's a HUGE 'if') - he's the most naturally gifted QB available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bradford has always been a talented QB. If the Bills do sign him, any rookie QB will need to be on a fast development track considering his injury history with Mike Zimmer recently saying he has a degenerative knee condition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Small connection, but a connection nonetheless, our tight end coach was with the Rams during a couple of years of Bradford's tenure there. He was OC after Bradford was traded. In fact Boras has coached Bradford, Foles, and Case Keenum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bradford would make sense on a lot of levels. Yet again, the Bills leaking supposed interest for Bradford could help their bargaining power for a Foles trade if that is their true target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would be fine with Bradford. If he's on the field I think he's a clear upgrade from Tyrod, especially if we want to run an offense where timing and quick passes are a staple. One would hope he's gained plenty of perspective and would be a positive in the QB room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It's pretty nuts how many QBs Buffalo has been connected to at this point, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills themselves don't really know exactly what they're going to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they're basically pursuing every angle possible right now and then figuring out later which angles are actually conceivable/which angles they want to commit to.

Not playing for 2 years doesn't mean much to me. He would be a solid option to replace Tyrod. I wouldn't expect 4000 yards and 30 TDs, but he is more than capable of putting up Tyrod #s, protecting the football, and managing the game. You don't sign Bridgewatrer and feel you're set at QB. He is a solid replacement though. 5 minutes ago, PaattMaann said: 1st rounder stunk and had to play quicker than they wanted because Kolb slipped on a mat and injured himself (if I am remembering quickly) Yeah.

I have a theory about QBs succeeding being totally connected to time/place/coaches/circumstances surrounding their career. Meaning even God Tom Brady would not be who he is and accomplished what he has if say, he was on the Bills in the same time period. So, it is my belief we have no idea what kind of QB EJ could have been had he been allowed to sit and learn/develop as was the original plan. But really, none of this is neither here nor there. He isn't our QB nor what this thread is about : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think Bradford ends up being the one left standing when the game of musical chairs ends but we'll see. I'd guess it's him or McCarron that's forced to sign somewhere to a backup QB deal for like $7-8 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rosen could benefit from the Eli treatment, where they had Kurt Warner start the first 8 games of the season. But I think he could certainly start right away. To me, he is the only one in this draft who can. Mayfield could start right away, but you are going to have to change your offense the way Bill O'Brien did for Watson. I think Allen and Darnold need a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Buffalo Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Bradford had a solid year in 2016. Only missed game was game one, because of trade. IF he is cleared injury wise then he would be a great choice for a bridge QB IMO. Set season completion percentage record... imagine having a QB that completes most of his passes?
