stevestojan Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Losman going down Blows. Even with the couple posts saying its not the end of the world, or its even good for him mentally (talk about rose colored glasses!), this does suck. It blows, we've seen it happen to other teams, and didnt care, but now its us and it sucks. Ok, that out of the way, s#it happens. Now what? I now we played several years with only 2 QBs. Do it again? Or do we go shopping? Or do we go with that #4 guy i saw standing looking confused in a picture somewhere? Just wondering what you guys think the best idea is as far as salary cap, roster space, and simple need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows the offense, and honestly, we're talking about the emergency QB here. I mean, how many games did Gale Gilbert ever actually play in?

stuckincincy Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Possibly. I'd say it depends one what decisions they were coming to regarding Travis Brown before Losman's injury. IMO Losman was going to ride the bench the entire season anyway. In any event, I'm sure they are devoting more attention to other team's likely/possible cuts now. It's a coin flip to me...

Yoho Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I am confused. Do you think it sucks or do you think it blows? Either way, it is certainly colorful and insightful analysis and a Freudian could have a good time trying to figure what is on your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Losman going down Blows. 6737[/snapback] Uh...yeah. By definition, really. Just a little bit of a redundant statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to let you know it is working? 6768[/snapback] Yes, it's working. A lot fewer people respond to me now. I assume that's because when people now read my posts, they're forced to reconsider their opinions and bring them more in line with my brilliance, thus mitigating the need to respond and argue with me. The REALLY scary thing is how many people are going to take the above seriously. They are, of course, precisely the people my sig is directed at.

Rico Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 You can talk about the OL all you want, but the biggest weakness on this team right now is NO plan B at QB should Bledsoe get hurt or suck again. Absolutely you go out and get a serviceable QB for 2nd string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Buffalo played part of last season with only two QBs on the roster, and could do the same this year. They will need to be convinced that TB is going to be a solid reliever (to borrow terminology from baseball). They will certainly want to carry a QB on their practice squad, in whom they have at least some confidence that he will at least be competitive if he had to play. I think Zolman is going to get some playing time this week to see what he can do. Thus far in camp, I think he's done absolutely nothing, but then I don't thnk he's had enough reps to really get in any kind of rhythem. I'm sure he doesn't wish an injury on anyone, but this is probably as much chance as he's ever going to get from the Bills to show what he can do. If he looks really bad, you can bet TD will be scouring the waiver wire when cutdown day comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Let's face it, if we get to the third QB for anything other that a series or two, this season is OVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Zolman will do fine. He won't (crosses fingers) have to play during the regular season anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 The big issue is the roster spot. If we do not put Losman on IR, we use a roster spot for a player who might not practice with the team. Forget if Losman was #2 or #3, the idea is he would have PRACTICED the entire season to learn the offense. Now we will use 1 of the 53 roster spots on him so he is eligible to still practice with the team when and if he comes back. But, we cannot keep him on the 53 roster AND get another QB. Unless we PS a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick in* england Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I say we stick with what we have. Brown always was our #2 this season and Zolman has some impressive NFL-E experience that may help him out of trouble. We're fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely you go out and get a serviceable QB for 2nd string. 6799[/snapback] Rico, have you watched the 2 PS games this year? I really disliked T Brown last year and couldn't understand why he was still on the roster when he got hurt. But, I have to give him credit, he seems to have turned himself around. He looks confident, accurate and able to QB this team (at least for a few games, if needed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
