Possible backup QB, Bills E.J. Manuel, would you?

[Eddie]

Hypothetically, if the Bills release Manuel, and we pick him up off of waivers ... there's no way he can challenge for the backup spot. So are you willing to lose Vaughn for Manuel ???

 

[hutch1254]

Manuel did not beat out Christian Ponder at FSU. That's pretty much all you need to know.

Austin Davis would be mildly interesting.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Austin Davis is going to be cut. He's behind Foles, Keenum and Mannion. I'd rather have him over Weeden.

If he's behind all of those guys than he's probably just as bad or worse than Weeden.

Most definitely. EJ Manuel is raw and is a project but he was a 1st round talent. Some felt he was taken too early. Either way, even in his worst games he's shown more than Vaughn. Vaughn is simply here because he's young and he's shown flashes at practice. That gets you on the PS.

If Manuel were cut, would you consider him an upgrade to Weeden at QB?

Swaping substandard backup QB's isn't going to make our team better.

Keep your eyes on the Texans. They just named Hoyer the starter and Mallet is pretty upset. They may trade him. I doubt they would but it's worth a phone call. Say a 5th or 6th for the guy. I would take him over Weeden in a second

5th or 6th is too much. Rather see what Showers has.

Joke thread.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

What's Kitna up to

Kidding. Sort of

Trivia....
Hey, did you know he moved to the Dallas area and is coaching HS football?

it makes me feel better, and as back up ceo scout coach pleasing my bad skills is way more important

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Funny Quincy at least led the team to the playoffs. I don't think Weeden is capable of that.

If we have a running game and play good defense I think Weeden will surprise some people.

 

[dallasdave]

Got this back up QB under control., as I speak Gimme and Corso are on their way to Dallas to fight it out for backup QB. All is well in the land of Dallas.

 

[superonyx]

Hmmm...Romo goes down for the year.....Troy Aikman looks like he is in shape...
Favre, Kurt Warner? Geez the thought makes me sick..

Now if Aikman came back then I want Hershel Walker and Randy Moss here with him...
Tell me we wouldn't be entertaining at least.

Mallett is 6'7" with a cannon arm who can definitely stretch the field and could start for at least a few teams, OB is a chicken poop for going with a play not to lose loser in Hoyer. He would be among the best back-ups in the league Showers can be 3rd string.

I like that idea. Get rid of those other 2 on our roster.

The only reason they would cut or trade Mallett is because he can't handle being a back up...so why would he be happy to be here and back Romo up for the next few years.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

I would take Michael Vick.




Dream team 2.0

 

[Oh_Canada]

Give me Austin Davis all day long over Weeden.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I don't think Manuel would be horrible. I would be willing to lose the stud that is Dustin Vaughan to get him.

He has some talent, was rushed in before he was ready and could use a year or two on learning behind a good vet. I do like Austin Davis as well as someone to kick the tires on. Right now, I think Showers is more ready than Vaughan and would keep him instead.

 

[EPL0c0]

No.

Stick with Weeden & Showers.

Yes, Showers. He is NOT clearing waivers. For cripes sake, teams are looking at guys like Pat Devlin and Josh Johnson.

Heck, even Vaughan may not clear waivers. But I'd rather they keep Showers
