Re: This team is grasping at straws.
Well, on a side note (because it's a side note to the article itself, literally) it's nice to see Matt Cassel's name on a list of the bottom five QB's in QBR rating since 2008

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
As much as I would like to read this as a sign that the Pats understand Brady's gone for the first 4 ... it probably just means the QB they cut is worse than Flynn. Which, at this stage of the year, is meaningless.Originally posted by BillsZone Mod

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
They still make the playoffs. So I wish we were "grasping at straws"I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
This says to me the Pats* are worried Brady will miss at least two games & they don't think Garoppolo can hold down the fort in Brady's stead.Originally posted by casdhf View PostComment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
The Bills just signed Matt Simms and Tyrod Taylor is in contention for the starting gig.
Talk about grasping at straws.Comment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
Agreed. But Matt Simms brother Chris was on the John Murphy show the other day.Originally posted by feldspar View Post
He said everyone that has seen his brother throw raves about his arm.
Chris said Matt needs to get some experience, he didn't get much in college because of losing two HC's & transferring to a JC.Comment

With Rog refusing to recuse himself, Tommy's getting the full 4 games.Comment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
I don't think it reflects on Garoppolo, they are going to need someone to back him up while Brady sits. Flynn makes a lot of sense in that role, more than Garrett Gilbert anyway.Originally posted by better days View PostComment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
If they reduce it to 1 or 2 games, Troy Vincent should walk right out of the NFL office for good. That's castration.Originally posted by Goobylal View Post

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
If he were actually expected to see the field, I would agree that this is grasping at straws.
But this is a camp arm/insurance policy. He'll only see the field if Brady gets all 4 games AND Garrapolo is either completely incompetent or gets hurt. And honesty, at this point, who are they going to get to be 3rd string that's better? A bet back up may get cut late in preseason, but then he'll have no time to learn the playbook.
This is a 'meh' signing. It's for depth and nothing more. Whether you love or hate the Pats, it's nothing to get worked up over.Comment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
I think thats grasping at straws. All it says to me is that they are worried brady might be out for a little while (I agree with you there) and that they want a veteran backup in case garoppolo goes down. I dont think that this has anything to do with lacking faith in himOriginally posted by better days View PostLast edited by MillsapsBillsFan; 06-12-2015, 11:25 AM.Comment

It would not surprise me to see Garoppolo start the game & get benched in favor of Flynn after the Bills pick Garoppolo off a few times like the Jets sat Geno against the Bills last season.Comment

Re: This team is grasping at straws.
To me anyway, grasping at straws means Trent Edwards, who still hasn't retired yet.Comment
