Bills sign RB Quinton Ganther

Bills signed RB Quinton Ganther.

Ganther has bounced around between the Titans, Redskins and Seahawks. He'll act as the No. 3 running back behind Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, if he's active on game days.

I'm wondering if they signed him to the practice squad instead of the roster...

Was arrested for DUI on July 3rd of this year.

I have never even heard of this guy where is he from and was any good in college?

Good special teamer...will never see time at RB.

Former Utah player. I got nothing on him, which is saying something since I have notes on nearly 400 players for each of the last 5 draft classes.

Why the heck do I know his name so well?

[methos4ever]

I think he ran a decent bit with the Titans or Skins, cannot remember which. 09 I think?

On October 20, 2009, Ganther signed with the Washington Redskins. Ganther was released on November 6. On November 11, only five days after being released, Ganther re-signed with the Redskins. Ganther had his first NFL career start with the Washington Redskins against the Oakland Raiders on December 13, 2009, scoring two touchdowns, helping the Redskins to win.

probably his career highlights

Had to Google...

Here is a preseason game when he played with the Titans. Looks tough to tackle but has a weird shuffle in his stride making Fred Jackson look like the Road Runner next to this guy.

Anyway:

Are you confusing him with Gaither? That threw me for a second.

Bingo! He was in a filler in on my fantasy team... injuries @ RB were killing me and I knocked out the #1 seed in the first round of the playoffs because of that game.

championship !

Quintin G-something as we called him in fantasy last year. The guys filled in for the skins and had a couple twenty point weeks down the stretch.

I was impressed with Ganther during preseason, and although i have not observed his special teams play I would speculate that this is more of a special teams pickup, because Anderson is a good runner as well.

My question is why are the Bills signing RBs? Don't we have needs at other positions as far as depth is concerned?

[X-Era]

Was arrested for DUI on July 3rd of this year.He was drinking on my birthday? No, I had nothing to do with it.

[Mr Bills]

Did the Bills keep Andre Anderson?

No, he's gone.. So is Robert Ferguson from the PS

Either Gailey is clearly not happy with the production of his running squad, or Freddy is still hampered by that early injury and it isn't being publicized.
