Virgil Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Seems like nothing but speculation because we need a QB. He should be one of the cheaper options, considering his injury history. He knows he’ll need to take a shorter deal. Personally, I’ve never seen the big deal about him. He’s just kinda there..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCOrange Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think Bradford is a very good QB when healthy, but I don't know how you sign a guy to be a bridge QB that you simply can't rely upon to be healthy enough to be a bridge QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yeah. EJ didn't fail because he had to play though. Bradford is a stopgap with potential to be more. You double your odds of finding a QB by signing Bradford and getting a top QB in this draft. this is true, but i see him going someplace like az.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bradford is good. Very good even. Just not able to trust him health wise. If he’s not going to get hurt then fine. He’s good. The issue is he will get hurt. And probably several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPP Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hopefully this is just speculation....If we get Glassman than it is vital we do what we have to in getting into the top 5 and getting a QB......cause once Glassman goes down in the 1st game of the season god help us if its Peterman waiting in the wings!

He was OC after Bradford was traded. In fact Boras has coached Bradford, Foles, and Case Keenum. I would think that's a negative factor for the Bills as far as Foles and Keenum are concerned, anyway. Foles enjoyed his time under Boras so much he considered that leaving the game he loves might be preferable.

bigduke6 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bradford doesnt excite me, but when hes healthy hes an above average QB. sign him if: 1.

auburnbillsbacker Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 He is better than Cousins so if the Bills got lucky with his health then they really hit the jackpot. Watch the game he played week 1 against the Saints if you want to see how good of a QB he is. If he is the free agent target they definitely need to secure a QB for the future. Even if they get a healthy season from him this year it is unlikely they would get multiple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've been saying all along that I'd be most interested in whichever Vikings QB becomes available as a bridge/mentor for the franchise QB we're about to draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the plan, then it would make sense because it would provide more urgency to the Eagles to make the trade now before they lose out on their rumored highest bidder for Foles.

He's broken hearts all over St Louis, I don't want him breaking Buffalo Bills fan hearts. The difference between the St. Louis situation and the possible Buffalo situation is that I don't believe the hometown franchise perceives him as the long-term qb as St. Louis did when he was the first player taken in the draft. From Bradford''s standpoint I'm sure he recognizes that what he needs to do in the short-term is regain some credibility as a player. Due to injuries he hasn't played in a long time. So it is doubtful that he is going to garner a rich multi-year contract in the market. If he could be signed on a very reasonable contract this would be a good match. What's the risk? If the Bills get one of the premium qb prospects and Bradford gets hurt then the rookie is going to get early playing time. If the often injured veteran qb plays well then the rookie qb has more time to prepare. The bottom line is that it would be a good situation for Bradford and for the Bills.
