Re: HOU axes Hoyer...Get'er done, Dougie!

with no back up, this makes sense. and ultimately, like last year, when TT doesn't play, you can mark it as a loss on the calendar. I just don't think the fanbase can handle ej steering the sure loss. give us a little hope with hoyer.

As long as its clear he's our backup, I'm cool with this. Def good depth

Re: HOU axes Hoyer...Get'er done, Dougie!

How? We have no cap space. Presumably, if we signed him we would cut EJ but EJ's salary alone won't cover Hoyer.

Re: HOU axes Hoyer...Get'er done, Dougie!

And EJ's salary doesn't go away regardless

Yup... Guaran-f'n-teed.

Ok, so then who would get the axe to make the cap space for Hoyer?

The FO's cap management has made it all but impossible to improve the back up spot.

Re: HOU axes Hoyer...Get'er done, Dougie!

Hoyer's playoff game against the Chiefs last year was worse than EJ's game against the Jags. If he had that sort of game in a Bills uniform you guys would want him cut before the game was over like DeAndre Hopkins did. That and EJ's guaranteed contract make this an easy 'no thanks' from me.

Besides, if our backup QB is going to see any sort of significant playing time, I think it would be safe to assume our season is shot anyways.

Pass

He's not better than TMobile if you are thinking starter. If you are thinking backup for sure he's better than EJ (who isn't?). But I'm not sure we can afford him.

Lets draft someone early and roll the dice with that guy as our 2.

GM malpractice.

Putting yourself in cap jail to make the playoffs would be one thing. Putting yourself there when your record sucks balls should get you fired.

If they would give Glenn a longterm deal that would free up close to $ 7 million for this year...The sheer panic you exhibit over this so called no cap space isn't justified..

After reading for years about what a tragedy it was to never spend right to the cap nobody has a right to ***** when they do.

Just don't ask Hoyer to throw it into the hat, he's liable to sail it wide.

What do you expect from a *****? *****ing, I says. Damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. Clearly, people have a right to be as big of a ***** as they want. There's always another ***** to listen...let's just cry into one another's sleeve.

But it's not even like the Bills have put themselves in a spot long-term. They'll have something like $50 million in cap space next year.

We're worried about not being able to pickup the legendary Brian-frickin'-Hoyer now? The guy will probably search out a team who is so desperate that he has a shot to start there this year...there are those teams still.

EJ has a better hard count. No contest.
