PIZ Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think he should be kept on the active roster. By mid-season we may need him to come in and play. At this stage of his career, being a rookie, I think just knowing that you may be able to play this year is huge. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Definitely active roster, for the very reason you stated, we may end up needing him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 i would like to have a real backup after week 8 or 9. he wouldnt be playing now anyways. i will be MUCH happier having him as the backup and not Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIZ Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 Yeah, he will probably be playing in week 12 or 13 after we have the division and AFC home field advantage wrapped up. I'm throwing away my negative feelings about the season and it's all optimistic the rest of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 This is an easy question. If the surgury went well, put him on the roster. Who cares if he's out the first 8-10 games. Was he going to play in them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailog80 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Can he go on the PUP list like Willis did last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thailog80 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 No. You can not go onto PUP list if you have been cleared and active in training camp. Willis was never medically cleared for training camp but Donahoe made a deal with agent to pay him full salary regardless of his inability to perform. 9001[/snapback] Thank you I did not know that.

Lori Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Bump this up.... ...and I agree. Far as I know, if they put him on IR, he can't practice with the team at ALL this season. Yeah, that extra roster spot would be nice to have available, but looking at the long-term view, I'd rather have my QB-of-the-future be able to start getting reps ASAP than worry about keeping a bottom-of-the-roster guy around.

Sen. John Blutarsky Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Indeed, release Zolman then put him back on the PS. He gets to hang around and run the scout team, if they really feel like they need him for a week they can make a roster move then. In the mean time, if we get down to our 3rd QB we're screwed anyway. Eric Moulds would probably be the emergency QB and we'd run the ball ALOT. We could run the hell out of the option, but you have to practice that ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Yeah, he will probably be playing in week 12 or 13 after we have the division and AFC home field advantage wrapped up. nah. we'll need bledsoe to keep the perfect season intact. Sorry nick bonnacotti and manny fernandez and larry czonka. ship the dom up to orchard park for the boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him ready to start next year, not in 2006. If nothing else, get him reps this year, and (I know this is hard, but) somehow have a vet QB lined up in case DB & TB get hurt/can't cut it.

The Jokeman Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Active Roster. Zolman on the practice squad. 9624[/snapback] Agree on putting JP on active but prefer someone like Brian St. Pierre on the Practice Squad. For those that don't know St. Pierre, he was a 5th Round pick by the Steelers last season out of Boston College. He will likely see the door from Pitt since they drafted Big Ben and they are looking at Kurt Kittner to be their 3rd string QB because of an injury to Charlie Batch.

SF Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Active roster all the way. He will be back in time for the last 3rd of the season. Any tiem he gets in a game will be valuable to his development. Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
