johnnychemo Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Interesting theory, though he (Chad Kelly) seemed to find trouble easily enough in Denver.... Edited November 1, 2018 by johnnychemo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has too many bad connections around Buffalo and will likely find trouble. He needs a fresh start and it’s really too bad Denver didn’t work out so....what do we have to lose by giving him an interview? it doesn't have to be a big public show.

Solomon Grundy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 11 minutes ago, DC Tom said: He's not wrong. But Kaepernick's biggest problem is: who the hell wants to sign a backup who generates a "Why isn't he starting???" QB controversy the instant he signs? So, people would rather sign Chad Kelly over Colin Kaepernick? Pre draft, I was a proponent of Chad but due to revisionist history I learned that he can't be trusted. Kaepernick is the kind of QB this team needs right now. Someone who can beat you with his arm as well as his legs. Sure, the circus would come along with his signing but it would also help this organization in two ways. One, it would help with the recent controversy involving Terry Pegula. Two, Kaepernick would give the Bills offense the boost it needs with his ability to run and throw. Why waste spectacular defensive performances by this team over a, IMO, non controversy controversy. We can't keep putting statues behind this porous offensive line. I also see people saying bring back Tyrod. Why not get a better version of Tyrod that won't cost you any assets? This team has the bullets to win, just need a better gun to shoot from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'd bring in Kaepernick for sure. I'm in the minority, I guess, his political views don't bother me at all. May actually go good in our locker room, most of our players are black. Sure, why not? Would make the rest of the season interesting. I'm down.

PromoTheRobot Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Honestly I would have rolled the dice on Chad Kelly, knowing full well there would be a 25% chance he'd do something stupid to embarrass the team. He's the only FA QB who has any real skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7975 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 It wouldn't matter. They are all trash heap QBs. They should have done a better job at getting a vet in during the offseason and or not traded away McCarron. I don't care if Peterman looked better in preseason. McCarron was the vet on the team that Allen/Peterman were suppose to learn from and he was here in camp to learn the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only FA QB who has any real skills. From what I've seen about it here in Denver, it amounts to this: he was obnoxious at Vonn Miller's Halloween Party. He got kicked out. He wandered into someone else's house but didn't do anything threatening or violent. This is not banishment from the league type stuff. Sign him, if only because it would be fun. Fun is good when you're a losing team going nowhere this year. It makes fans pay attention when they'd ordinarily start tuning out. What do you have to lose? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 1 hour ago, The Frankish Reich said: OK, I'll throw out some names. (I couldn't do a poll on my phone.) - EJ. Hey, he's got a better track record than Barkley, and we just signed Barkley! - Derek Anderson (because, well, you know why) - Tom Savage - Landry Jones - Thad Lewis (I have warm and fuzzy memories) - TJ Yates. He specializes in this role, the midseason addition thrown out there to the wolves. - Matt Barkley. Because you think McBeane knows best after all. - Matt Moore. Because he's kind of the slightly wealthier man's Derek Anderson I agree with Ej. He was actually quite good last year when he played for Carr. I'm actually surprised not a single team picked him up. His last start he had 300 yards and 3 tds. That sounds like heaven to me at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
