Realist Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 I would think that for your number 3, you'd want a young late rounder. Grab a QB in the 5th through 7th and maybe he becomes serviceable in the future after Holcomb is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he played with Jason Peters in college Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarthur31 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Matthews for 1 more year sounds good to me. It would be cost effective to go after someone younger tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mendezownsyou Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 If Matthews does retire, I think the best way to go is to draft someone like Stefan LeFors or Ryan Fitzpatrick in the 5th or 6th round and develop them into JP and Kelly's backup.

Nanker Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Maybe Greg Zolman is still available if these two clipboard carrying studs aren't ready for the awesome duty: Jan. 25 Bills signed free agent QB Tory Woodbury Feb. 2 Bills signed QB Kevin Thompson (assigned to NFLE) Is it worth the bother of thinking about it at this point? When was the last time our third string QB was an issue at any time during the season? There's always someone available if disaster strikes. And if disaster strikes, I rather think we won't be worried about a third string QB saving the season for us. People, we won't be going to the SuperBowl on the strength of our third string QB. We just won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 We're not drafting any QBs this year. #3 will be a rookie or 1st year player who will never be expected to play & is really an afterthought. When you have a young #1 & a veteran #2, you don't worry about #3. It will be similar to when we picked up Travis Brown-If nobody in camp is good enough-we'll get a guy off waivers on opening week. I think that #3 will be in another team's camp until September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The Bills alloted some joker to NFL Europe a few weeks ago, Kevin Thompson from Penn State. Perhaps if he does well they will be looking at him as the #3. I am sure they will sign a nobody FA to bring to camp, too. He must be pretty good. Check out his stats. He has a 100 career QB rating in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Kevin Thompson is a possibility. He's 27 years old and will hopefull have some playing time in NFL Europe. Than may make him a little bit more prepared to come in in an emergency. If it comes down to your third QB playing for more than one game you can pretty much figure your season is screwed.

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 I think it'll be a guy in a later round of this years draft. I think Heisman winner Jason White would make the ideal career backup. He's a guy who has all the intangibles and great leadership qualities that you like in someone who needs to come in if our main dog goes down.

Fake-Fat Sunny Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Cliff notes: I hope matthews is back as our #3 and if he retires Kordell Stewart is my choice for our disaster QB. Cliff notes end I actually say a Matthews would be fine because the two hob descriptions i would have for a #3 are that: 1) He is a vet clipboard career who has seen a lot and has a good relationship with the lead QBs and the staff so he can help in the training. After a year with the Bills in which he got to know the Bills O, Losman and the coaching staff this 11 year veteran who did not accomplish much as a player fits the bill. 2) A disaster QB who will almost certainly not be used, but if disaster struck and you did having the #1 ranked QB in the NFL in spot duty last year is not a bad way to go. If Matthews retires, then i like Kordelia as my #3. He has been there before having made the SB as a youngster and knows the coaching staff well having had a career revival under MM. He did not throw a pass last year, but proved willing and able to even punt for the Ravens last year. Given our questions at #3 WR I feel OK about having the Slash around though I would envision him as a #4 WR if we used him consistently and I hope Reed recovers or Aiken steps up instead.
