He had a cup of coffee in Buffalo under Chan Gailey regime.

Most of you remember him, but for those who don't:

Is there a practice squad HOF ? He'd be a candidate.

So be it. 6-2 1/2 223. Mobile.

Found this comment from back in 2012 under his Scout Profile. Oh, the irony.

Welcome to KC. Please take Cassel's job. Thanks.

Hmm..Tanney did OK this pre-season. Look down at #11. At least he played a bit.

Have to have a third arm, roster or PS, might as well be him as anybody.

Sure, if Aaron Rodgers isn't available.

EJ Manuel is the poster child for the fact that preseason QB ratings can be a useless statistic.

I actually thought this was a joke at first. They think he's better than Simms?

Might just be that Tanney came up here with him because he knows the area, having been here before, and just means to show Ikard how to get around.

Re: QB Alex Tanney headed back to Buffalo?

I wouldn't be surprised if Simms lost the gig simply because of the throw backwards. Just lack of attention to the field position and made what would be a momentum turning play.

Simms signed with Atlanta. Judging preseason stats but Tanney out played Simms so I have no problem if we bring him in.

Maybe he's just visiting some of the garbage cans he threw balls into.

Per Rodak he's taking a Physical with the Bills.
