    QB Austin Davis - Could be a good Option

    Just looking at the Rams depth chart at QB. They have Foles as the starter. After that they also have Sean Mannion and Case Keenum who look to be ahead of Davis.

    I think this guy can be a good option for us to bring in instead of our 3rd string QB. He has done relatively well in his starts last year posting 63% completions with an 85 QB rating. Also has a pretty good arm.

    Bills should be jumping on him if cut.

    Austin Davis looked really good at times.

    Hard to say if he'll get cut though.

    And we still have a few weeks to see how our QB depth chart shakes out. A lot is still up in the air since all three QB's have been playing better than expected recently.

      Agreed.

      Only thing is Davis has done well in real games and behind a terrible OL with few receiving weapons. If our OL can be better and add to that our RBs and receivers/TEs, Davis can be a playmaker rather than just a game manager.

        Correct me if I'm wrong but limited arm strength and was shut down immediately once the opposing Ds figured out what the Rams were running to accommodate Davis and adjusted.

          Davis was the guy everyone went gaga over last year after one start...and then he proceeded to **** the bed. No thanks.

              You must be thinking of someone else. Davis had 8 starts last year: some looked great, some looked atrocious. If we are talking about moving on a potential cap casualty QB, that's the best you're likely to find.

                The Bills are set at back-up QB. It is the starter they don't have.

                  I don't think anyone can say Davis is better than EJ with any kind of certainty.

                    Meant to say "camp casualty" there FWIW

                      Rob Johnson, Matt Flynn and Kirk Cousins all say where's our shot?

                      Same type junk, have a good start or two and become the next big thing...well until they fall flat on their faces trying.

                        Not a bad idea if he gets cut.

                          If we start Tyrod we can expect similar things but I know Tyrod's different because he can run like Tebow. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...or-a-touchdown

                            Forget Austin Davis. You're watching the wrong team. All the QBs behind Mariotta should be where the Bills are looking. All three have looked good.

                              I think any outside consideration would have to be athletic and capable of the read option.
