All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Kordell, maybe, but the other guys just cost too much damn money. I think they will wait till June 1, see who's out there and, if none of them are solid pickups who come cheep, we'll take our chances and let the 'kids' back up Bledsoe.

I'd like to see Losman get his shot if Bledsoe goes down. Do we really think Kordell will take us to the playoffs? If Drew gets hurt/bombs out again I hope we just get the kid some experience for the future.
I agree,and we have Travis Brown too.I don't think we need to wast $$$ on another QB.If Bledsoe gets hurt early,let Brown play.And if Bledsoe stinks it up then give it to JP.
To the world you might be one person,but to one person you might be the world.
Screw another QB. I really don't see it happening. I think TD had his eye on a Kordell type if he didn't get one of the guys he wanted to get in the draft. Losman was one of those guys, so it is pretty much a non-issue now.
...And I don't think Travis Brown is as bad as a lot of people say. It is always reported that he looks awful in practice but during the only time it matters (in a game) he has been effective.

Agreed. Kordell is terrible plain and simple. Of the veteran QBs available I think the best of the bunch is Blake, and he is definitely not a long term answer. Losman has just as much chance of succeeding in the event of injury as either of those, especially if it is latter in the season when he has had more practice time.

Brown treads water as QB pool deepens

There has been a lot of discussion about the Buffalo Bills' quarterback situation this offseason. None of it has involved Travis Brown.
As Drew Bledsoe's backup you can expect to get very little attention. But with the arrival of first-round draft pick J.P. Losman, Brown has been thrust even further into the background.
"I do feel Travis is a guy that kind of gets overlooked in this situation," Bledsoe said at the Bills' rookie orientation camp this weekend. "Travis is a guy that is very smart. He has good ability. He throws the ball well."
...and...
Brown has been heard loud and clear this offseason. The fifth-year veteran has played so well that the Bills don't sound as anxious to acquire an experienced quarterback to backup Bledsoe.
...and...
After the first two minicamps, the Bills like what they have seen from Brown.
"He's really had two excellent camps that we've been together," coach Mike Mularkey said. "Just seeing him perform out here, he's very confident, very good with the field general part of it. He made some great throws out here (this weekend) and he made some great throws in the vet camp. He's a very good quarterback."
...and...
He re-signed with the Bills last December and ended up playing in the last two games, completing 14 of 18 passes for 160 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
"I think he's a guy that can definitely play this game," Bledsoe said. "He's a guy I will lean on much like I leaned on Alex Van Pelt the last couple of years, to be a sounding board to get some input in the meeting room, to be like an extra coach on the sidelines. I do feel Travis is a guy that has been overlooked in this situation."

I don't understand why he gets ragged on. He has looked good in very limited action. At the end of the Miami game he looked way better than Bledsoe did for that entire game. He made a nice throw on a rollout and his team mates seemed to really rally around him when he came in.
