Mountain Man Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) So far, it looks like Tyree Jackson is only standing out in a bad way. Whilst it's a great local story I struggle to see them putting him on the PS, with multiple WRs and O line who seem to actually have a better chance of moving from the PS I just wonder if they let him go.

Warcodered Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 He's probably on the Practice squad until they find someone better to replace him. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StHustle Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Unfortunately guys like him need the most reps but gets the least. The most work he gets is in preseason games after practicing most of the playbook with mental reps. Pretty much setup for failure. With that said...some QBs show more than others in that very same situation and I don't think Jackson falls in that category. I'm sure there are many upgrades who will be cut soon. I would take whoever loses the Colts 3rd QB job for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 There's few players in the league with the talent he has, so I definitely think the Bills should stick him on the PS. However, I don't expect it to do much good, as the main job of the PS is to be a scout team - not personal development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 What ticks me off about him is his struggles make it harder for bubble players at WR to stand out in preseason games.

CSBill Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 At this point, it is hard to see him even being Practice Squad worthy. I suspect the Bills will comb the waiver wires, and other team Practice Squads, looking for a good 3rd option. The problem, however, with the another "teams PS's" is that they would have to put that person on the 53 man roster. With the many bubble battles going on, and the likely potential of keeping an extra WR, TE, O-lineman, DT, or even D-back, I don't see them them wanting a 3rd QB on the 53. Thus, a waiver guy to the PS is most likely. Tyree will have to do well these next two games and hope no other attractive options becomes available to the Bills. It will come down to, who can we safely stash on the PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me help you here: "There's few players in the league with the talent "physical tools" he has"; there is a vast difference between talent and tools. .... what's the old saying, "he looks good coming off the bus"? I think that applies here. Nonetheless, I'm hoping he makes it so those raw tools can be shaped into some real success. He's the kind of kid you root for.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It’s so hard to see a guy like that sticking around in today’s nfl. He is so mentally far away from being able to play, it would take years of coaching and investment to get him to where he’d be able to possibly be a third string QB. And in the meantime you waste scout team reps and lose the opportunity to develop other skill position players on the PS. What’s the point? I get that there are some UB homers on this board who want to see him succeed but you’ve got to face reality. He has no purpose on this roster. He’d be far better off going to a developmental league for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I believe it all depends on how much more patience the coaches and staff have with Jackson. If he doesn't improve over the next two games then I can see him being let go. But I don't think the organization wants to run into a situation like last year, where we started the season with only two QB's on the roster and ended up putting the team in a bad situation. Tyree is talented, but he had better grow up quickly or his NFL career could be over before it begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fansince88 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 We have way too many real good players that will have to be cut at other positions to waste a spot on the PS for Tyree. Josh and Matt are playing too well and to TJ there is an aweful steep dropoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I think he is PS worthy, but I do not think he would be who they bring up if another QB is needed. He really needs reps and study to become a better QB, but he is just not getting that now. We we will see how it goes - not sure if someone else shakes free that they had their eye on - if they keep him, but most QBs that are cut would prefer to PS on the team that cut them rather than have to learn a new system and I do not see the Bills using a 53 roster spot for a 3rd QB.

Flip Johnson Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I would like to see him progress but it doesn't make sense to keep him around unless he takes a giant leap in the next two games. - He is a hindrance to the development of our backups WRs. - He would not be able to effectively run the scout team offense. - If Barkley got hurt we would sign someone off the street before we promoted TJ to backup. For those who think he should have stayed at UB - sure, but that isn't exactly the best place to develop either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want to “steal” the Pats 3rd stringer - are you putting him on the 53 and cutting another good player for a 3rd string QB. If not why would Stidham choose the Bills PS over the Pats?

Although I’ve never liked his entitled attitude, I’d be surprised if the Colts keep Bridgett, Kelly and Walker on the team. Likely Kelly or Walker get cut and both are much better than Tyree at this point. Id welcome Kelly on this team I’ve been impressed with and I could really care less about the Jim Kelly connection and nostalgia with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metbill Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I hope we will pick up somebody better, which is about any other QB, once the cuts start happening. I do not think a spot on the PS is going to be there for him. He truly has no value to the team either as a 3rd teamer or to simulate another offense in practice as he does not seem to be able to pass the ball.

The Bills Blog Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Agree with the Chad Kelly talk, and it has nothing to do with his name. He would be an EXCELLENT scout team QB and really deserves to be a backup somewhere. He's good. Jackson is painful to watch. It's like he never got used to his body.

It will come down to, who can we safely stash on the PS? Don't believe that's true initially. After every team make the cuts to 53, at that point every player in the league is eligible to sign to anyone's practice squad that teams and players wish. Once you sign a contract to go onto said teams practice squad, then if another team signs a player off PS, they must put him on the 53. That's why teams somewhat take their time assigning players as they first want to comb thru other teams trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
