I know, our ideal backup!

[DraftBoy]

Mike McMahon former backup to Joey Harrington. He would be perfect for this system bc of his mobility and live arm, he is a very similar player to Losman. He would be cheaper than Bledsoe and the system wouldnt need tweaking at all for him or Losman.

[Iehoshua]

I'd take McMahon. The only problem is inexperience.

[The King]

I agree with you. I am pretty sure Damon Huard is under contract still but we need a QB like him. I would Jay Fiedler would be and acceptable backup as would guys like Kordell, McMahon, Flutie, Maddox and Dilfer. Guys I would shy away from are guys like Shawn King, Anthony Wright, Kurt Warner, Garcia, and Testaverde.

I agree

Mcmahon is almost like having another inexperienced qb. We need an experienced mobile qb.The lisp.

You wann pay him starter money? Bc then why didnt we just keep Bledsoe around. Garcia is gonna ask for a big salary. McMahon is exp has proven he can win games and be a steady backup and wont cost us nearly as much.

Garcia is not getting starter money from us and I don't expect him to. He's going to get whatever the market offers him. In all likelyhood, the only places he has a shot of winning a starting job is places like Detroit and Baltimore, but he's not on track to get starter money to be a backup. If you talk experience factor and playoff experience, you're gonna take mcmahon over garcia? I wouldn't.

Let's not set the bar to high now.

I'd be happy with mcmahon.... they could run the same offense.

the problem with keeping bledsoe is.... if JP goes down, the offense needs to be revamped around protecting a stationary QB.

My guess is, this years offense will be geared to roll outs, sprint outs, a few options, etc.

Garcia is not coming to Buffalo. He is not going to leave one city where he had his job snatched from him by an inexperienced QB (albeit it was deserved, I think), just to automatically backup another inexperienced QB. Unless he gets a ridiculously high contract, he is not going to be interested.

I would love to get him but I have a feeling he wants to start and that he could be farely expensive!

No way, no how do I want Garcia. Simply because I won't be able to log on here without reading countless ignorant comments about his sexuality. The man dates extremely beautiful woman but he's gay because loudmouth TO said he is. Who cares.

I agree. McMahon is going to be looking or an opportunity where he has a legitimate chance to start, or at least compete for the job. Bringing him in, or some other young promising QB, would create the possibilty for a QB controversy more than bringing in a veteran who has had his chance.

[ShadowHawk7]

McMahon, Blake, or Holcomb please.

[DraftBoy]

Can anybody provide a realistic veteran who is not going to be looking to start anywhere, even Kordell still wants to start. My point is this McMahon as a backup should love the idea of coming to Buffalo. Losman was nothing special last year and he's already had one long term injury. Sign a 2 year deal and see what happens. He may be the new starter and Losman may be a bust who knows, but I dont want another old vet whose over the hill and career shoulda been over 5 years ago. McMahon provides with not only a good backup but an insurance policy incase Losman goes south. He also could run the same exact offense.

[mysticsoto]

Is everybody completely against Shane Matthews as our backup? He did fine last year for not having played much and not having much time to learn MM's playbook. Why not give him another year or two as 2nd string and grab a QB in the draft or attempt to develop the QB we sent to Europe???

I think Shane, having had 1 year with our playbook, and getting experienced with how MM does things would be ideal for us to keep around for atleast another year or two. Atleast until we develop a 2nd string worthy from our drafts, or decide who we want as a legitimate 2nd stringer. By 1 or 2 years, a drafted QB might be ready to move from 3rd to 2nd string. This QB that we have now in Europe, Kevin Thompson, is big (6'5" 235 lbs). A good prospect who will also benefit from experience in Europe. He might be able to serve as our current 3rd string if he absorbs and does well in Europe and later (in a year or two) move to 2nd string.
