I know your post has a hint of sarcasm in it but, I am guessing he would be fighting for a roster spot with Peterman, not Allen. Or he may just be a camp arm.

BUT, 3 year backup and got cut after his first CFL pre-season game. Not quite sure what Beane thinks could be there. It's pretty clear that they're searching for an Uncle Rico. I know the clip is a highlight reel, but he doesn't look too bad. I'm no NFL scout so what do i know, but he seems to have good instincts with the ball and can throw on the run. Hopefully our other QB's can also because with our OL they may need to do that a lot. Buffalo716 and BullBuchanan, you both seem to have the skinny on this guy. What is it about him that makes you say he's no more than a camp arm. I don't doubt you....merely curious of your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach55 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Apodaca lasted all of 27 days on the Winnipeg roster, throwing a whopping 0 passes in the CFL. Would hardly call this guy coming from the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both got an invite for training camp, they're being auditioned. Bills will sign one if they like him or they'll toss 'em both back in the pond and audition someone else. That makes sense.

Lurker Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Just an arm to help them get through rookie orientation camp, which I believe should be coming up.

Maybe he didn't fit the mold. Besides, he's just camp fodder. He won't make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't know him at all. Did some research after this was announced, but mostly came up empty. 3 year college player with a transfer to New Mexico sheet his freshman year, but still never really played. Only has a handful of games played in college. Elway took a look at him after the 2017 draft, but passed. He then proceeded to sign with the Blue Bombers but was released after the first preseason game with a bunch of other players. Hit 61mph at his pro day, which would have been a combine record if invited, but has around 52% completion percentage over only around 100 college attempts. My take is that he's never really shown anything to indicate he has any type of pro football future, but who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to see where it all goes, but so far, I'm not liking the direction. Tyler Thigpen? Where the hell did he come from? I hated the pick at first. But I’ve done a full 180 on the kid. The guy reeks Buffalo. He’s worked hard to get where he is. He’s very humble and appreciative. Apparently he’s a good beer pong player as well. Watch some videos of him.

Meaning, the stands are kind of covered but the field is not. I have to believe that the winds could be unpredictable in a stadium such as that. Only about half of the CFL sites are covered. Yea I looked at Blue Bombers stadium looking at what Bills could do non-dome to allow better snow protection. https://www.bluebombers.com/stadium-information/ Rum and vodka bars are nice but not at prices they charge in stadiums.
