The Tomcat Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 (edited) The Steelers will sign QB Brian St. Pierre to the practice squad if he clears waivers (i.e., if his 2003 offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey doesn't claim him as Buffalo Bills property). I know its KFFL but would the Bills really get another QB at this point?.....The only way I see us getting another QB would be if someone like Gannon becomes available.....Tim Couch maybe....I don't know anything about St.Pierre but his familiarity with our offense could be valuable....any thoughts? Sorry it was PROFOOTBALL TALK . COM NOT KFFL.....(although kind of the same thing anyways) Edited September 7, 2004 by THE TOMCAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to claim him on waivers don't we have to sign him to the active roster? And to answer the question, I'd rather have Matthews. St. Pierre has never played in an actual game if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday, the B'gals signed two of the Skin's cuts - one player went on the roster, and the other was signed to their PS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I like Matthews experience, I wouldn't even think of St. Pierre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Definitely Matthews. Looking at Clumpy's salary cap situation for 2005 (aka year 1 of the JP regime) , we'll need to free up some $$$, and I think Matthews would be a great #2 behind JP.

BillnutinHouston Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Couch IS available, Packers cut him because he was unproductive. His career is slipping fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to sign a player off of another team's PS you must place them on your active roster. In this case, the B'gals were dealing with an unsigned player who was cut and the parties could agree to place them whereever they agreed to place them.

PIZ Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I'd take Matthews, but I've seen alot of St. Pierre, and he is a solid QB. Probably better or at least equal to Travis Brown, but he has been with Mularkey for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 As one who's been touting St Pierre since the Brown injury, I'd stick with Matthews as my 2nd string QB. I wouldn't mind St Pierre as a 3rd string or practice squad QB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Buffalo can only sign St. Pierre away from Pittsburgh if they sign him to the active roster, which won't happen because Matthews would be considered a more reliable second string guy and the Bills are using a roster spot for Losman. After the season if there is a chance to pick up St. Pierre, then I say go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 After the season if there is a chance to pick up St. Pierre, then I say go for it. 20781[/snapback] I can see that happening. Drew will still be #1 next year with JP the solid #2 after getting some practice time and mop-up duty at the end of this year. The the team can pick up St. Pierre as the #3 for next season with the idea of him moving up to backup JP after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
