So are we going to pick up another QB?

[BlackMetalNinja]

With Craig Nall being cut, obviously that leave Losman and Edwards on the roster.

Very few teams dare to go with only 2 QBs, so I'd assume we pick somebody up... but who? I'm sure the Leftwhich rumors can start anytime now.

Thought or opinions on what our course of action should/will be?

If we had Bledsoe I could see going with 2 for he was so durable but I think Bills will wait until week 2 and pick up a veteran caller without needing to guarentee the salary for entire year.

No, they're going to keep 2.

If they got someone else, then they still have to cut another player then. Which would be dumb, just to have a 3rd QB.

The seasons over if JP goes down anyway, Edwards would just be there to go through his lumps now, its not like were contenders really anyway.

Outside of the freak training camp injury, and the fake injury Mularkey made Losman sit the bench for, JP has been durable as heck.

On the other hand, none of that matters, because one hit can change anything.

Also, Edwards was an injury prone player in college, so if anything happens to JP, there is no guarentee Edwards would make it through many games.


Basically, I agree with you, is what I'm trying to say.

The Bills will look for someone for the PS if just to provide an extra arm for practices.

I was under the impression that you could have an 'extra' roster slot for a 3rd string QB, with special rules that if he played the other two had to sit the rest of the game, or something like that.

Maybe that's just for game-day rosters, tho. I dunno.

You can activate the 3rd QB from inactive game day roster list but if you do it in Q1-3 the other QBs can not play anymore that game. Does not affect 53 man roster.

itd be nice to have a reliable backup. someone who has more of an arm than holcomb.

and someone whose last name doesnt rhyme with stubbed toe.

Re: So are we going to pick up another QB?

we go with 2 qb's. If JP goes down , we cut another player and bring in an emergency qb while Edwards who seems to be a very able qb is our qb. Sounds good?

I think the Bills will add a QB to the practice squad. Teams that carry only two guys on the active roster invariably carry a QB on the PS. Zabransky is certainly a candidate. I think the Bills will look for someone with at least a decent arm because of Fairchild's downfield passing offense. It makes no sense to bring in a noodle arm when such a big part of Fairchild's strategy is the vertical passing game.

Perhaps the practice squad, but I don't see them adding anyone to the roster unless they plan on making a jump at Byron Leftwich.

It wouldn't make much sense to let Nall go now then snatch somone else up with less experience with the offense.

Matt Moore of the Cowboys had some succes at QB in the preseason. the Cowboys may want him for their own PS though.

[YardRat]

Re: So are we going to pick up another QB?

I agree with those that say a third will be added to the practice squad.

If things really get dire, and both Losman and Edwards get hurt, there will be plenty of vets for the taking if necessary.

No sense using a roster spot for a clipboard carrier.

Re: So are we going to pick up another QB?

Question.... Is there any chance that the Bills take a look at Carson Palmers' little brother Jordan? He does have the strong arm and is in dire need of a practice squad year or two, IMO!!
