Why this FO will not a sign a vet with some starts under his belt as a back up , every year the likes of brunell, or other aging QB's who can still play never seem to intrest the bills I think young Qb's like Edwards, Brohm could benefit from a guy who's been there! JMO!

Re: One thing that blows me away
Yeah, They won't sign anyone but low price guys. I like building through the draft as much as anyone but it's going to take 3x as long with the holes this team has. They need to sign some good vet's to take on leadership roles on both sides of the ball. It doesn't seem to be anything the FO is interested in though.The Polian Curse

Re: One thing that blows me away
leadership schmedership. we need talent and guys who can knock someone on their ass. leadership is a luxury for teams with talent and needing the final piece to the puzzel. leadership will come, but we need some freakin blockers and someone who will actually THROW THE DAMN BALL.In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.Comment

Re: One thing that blows me away
this past off season Brunell or Bulger for ie.. when I say starts I mean a couple seasons of being a #1 not a fill for an injury, these type of vets would not be deemed the starter but more as a mentor or if we have the problems that we are currently having than they can step in and at least make us respectable. Pocket prescense is under valued!Originally posted by YardRatComment

They should have tried for Delhomme, I mean he's had such a great start in Cleveland...Originally posted by TacklingDummy
Signing a has-been doesn't work.

Re: One thing that blows me away
Umm, he has starts, but he isn't good...I'm thinking he meant somebody who could actually come in and lift this team up if needed and win on a regular basis. Fitz is garbage...just like Edwards.Originally posted by ThiefComment

Re: One thing that blows me away
Fitz (or any QB on our roster) would struggle to be a #3 on most other teams with the expception of a few. QB play as a whole is not as good as its was in the 80-90's. There seem to be 5 or so really good Qbs then some up and comers, the rest lets just say are not looking so goodOriginally posted by ThiefNobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills ....

Re: One thing that blows me away
Is/was one of those guys available? And if he were, wouldn't he be our starter?Originally posted by Nighthawk
Some retired guy would be a better option? I don't believe anyone was calling Fitz good.Originally posted by unpaid_billsComment

Re: One thing that blows me away
I think they are smart enough to realize a band aid QB doesn't develop their franchise guy and if it isn't Trent, they will be drafting a guy high.
It wasn't me who sabotaged the season at QB, but with what we have, we might as well play Trent or even Brohm and if (when) neither develops into the guy, get that future franchise QB first and foremost.

Re: One thing that blows me away
1. As Thief said, Fitz fits the bill. I do believe he started some games for Kansas City. Which probably explains why he's still here and Levi Brown isn't.
2. Mark Brunell hasn't been able to play since leaving the Jaguars. Everywhere else he's gone, he's been a bum and a scrub. There's a reason former starters are available cheap on the free agent market: their time has come and gone.Last edited by Johnny Bugmenot; 09-19-2010, 07:41 AM.Comment
