WVUFootball29 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 At my family Christmas party last night one of my cousins told me that while he was listening to WGR the other afternoon the subject of Philip Rivers and the Bills being interested in making a trade for him came up.... Now before I go any farther, please note that I do not advocate the Bills trading any player or draft picks for Philip Rivers...another unproven QB with less gametime experience than JPL. So lets keep the posts of, "You're an idiot, we dont want Rivers, why would you want to run JP out of town," to a minimal Anyways, he said that the radio host said that the Bills have already contacted the Chargers about obtaining Rivers this offseason, but he didnt know what the terms of the trade included. So did anyone else hear this, I'm just trying to figure out what program it was on and who said it...Personally I think he heard someone call in and ask the question, but he insists it wasnt on a call in show. Can anyone shed some light on this? Personally, I think the only team right now that would really be interested in making a trade for Rivers is the Jets...especially after Mike Heimerdinger's comments on Chad Pennington's progress recovering from his second torn rotator cuff in this throwing arm.

Adam Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Is it just me, or do Bulldog and Schopp come across like idiots with the maturity level of a 5 year old. Not everyone on the station is THAT bad, but those guys are unreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykat Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 It makes perfect sense. Consider who's running the show. Better yet, let's trade away a few more picks and draft another QB to compete with Holcomb and JP nextd season. After all we're only a QB and TE away.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 if this was a deabte before the 2004 draft I'd take Phillip Rivers over Losman in a heartbeat, however it's a stupid idea to trade for him now. I wanted Rivers or Matt Schaub anyway. We got Losman. I dont know whether or not JP is our qb of the future but at this point trading for rivers is just dumb, as we have a lot bigger needs then qb.

WVUFootball29 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Apparently no one is actually reading the post other than the trade for Rivers part. I know its a dumb idea, its probably the dumbest thing I've heard of lately other than the gloom and doomers complaining about last weeks win. All i want to know is if anyone else heard this on WGR and what program it was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennington Article 543673[/snapback] I could not possibly believe the Bills would be interested in Trading for Rivers unless it was JP for Rivers straight up...I like JP's upside and potential as much as anyone, but I'd still Trade him for Rivers straight up... Otherwise...no way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVUFootball29 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Well apparently I'm not going to get at least one serious answer so I'm closing the topic. I think we all know that the trade for Rivers is a dumb idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
