In his weekly conversation with Buffalobills.com head coach Chan Gailey said it’s unlikely that Jackson will move up from the number three role this season to challenge for the backup job due to those practice dynamics.

Re: Let's hope Chan changes his tune on Tarvaris Jackson
i would like to see T Jackson play sooner than later. And it's not because i think he'll fair much better. It's because next year, i don't want fitz tossed away and then this draft of no QB's and an explanation of, "we really like T Jackson and can win with him" as good qb's get taken pick after pick after the bills.
This is a lost season. put it all out there. Show our three crap qb's and then draft a qb in round 1-7. one of them has to be ok.

Re: Let's hope Chan changes his tune on Tarvaris Jackson
The best scenario at this point would be to dump Fitz and his now ridiculous contract, draft a solid, legitimate QB prospect EARLY, and have TJax as the back-up/starter in the event prospect is not ready day 1.

Re: Let's hope Chan changes his tune on Tarvaris Jackson
People laughed when I said I would have traded our entire draft for Andrew Luck. Here's the thing: we could have the '85 Bears defense and the the 89 49ers offense and still not win with Fitz under center. Do you think Washington fans are feeling bad for what they gave up for RG III? It's such a hopeless feeling watching us play NE. They have a QB. We don't. We need to get one at all costs. All costs. The end.

He can run and throw. Use him.
To me it's a fireable offense to not bench Fitz for TJ now. Why? Because it's impossible for a qualified coach to watch that game film and say "this will get better". NO IT WON'T. Is TJ the answer? For now, yes.

Re: Let's hope Chan changes his tune on Tarvaris Jackson
If we have a losing record heading into the bye, I'd make the swap. I know NE, Arizona, and San Fran are good teams, but you can't expect to lose all those games and still make the playoffs.
I don't think this would be considered a reactionary decision either. Fitz is 12-22 in the last 3 years and has thrown 30 picks in the last 19 games.

Re: Let's hope Chan changes his tune on Tarvaris Jackson
It seems like a panic move to do that now. It would be one thing if Jackson weren't a career journeyman, but he is. The best thing you can say about him is he is not Fitz. His career Comp% of 59.4, TD-to-Int of 38-to-35 and Yds/Att of 6.7 are Fitz-like. He is 29 years old. He isn't fixing anything.
However, if the team continues to struggle on offense at some point you have to make the change just for the sake of doing something different. I just don't think it will fix anything.

I was talking to Lecter about this last night, I dont understand why we wasted the pick then. In fairness this was said on 9/29, so let's see if the tune changes otherwise its Fitz and Thigpen all season long.

The QB can't play D but football is a game of emotion. Tell me how much emotion this team has if we keep the status quo? It's time to hit the bright red panic button. There I said it.

He's had MORE than ample time to prove his worth and he hasn't.

You don't tell your team "let's go get em we can win with this guy" when they know it's not true. And you don't wait until the season's out of hand to try something bold. Will TJ make a difference? It really doesn't matter does it? Someone, anyone tell me what we've got to lose by sitting Fitz down now. Leadership isn't waiting for the bye week.

The only reason I said bye week is because it's more realistic and doesn't seem as reactionary. It also gives TJ enough to absorb the playbook.
