    The Bills and Vince Young

    According to Insider:

    Though the Tennessee Titans will try to trade quarterback Vince Young before outright releasing him, there has been doubt cast that they'll be able to get another team to buy in on him. If they can't, he'll be released prior to the tenth day of the new league year, when he's due a roster bonus.
    Last week, Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network speculated on a surprise suitor for the hypothetical free agent: the Buffalo Bills. Lombardi argued that Young's playing style would "entice" Bills head coach Chan Gailey, and that a situation where there was already a starter in place -- but not a superstar -- would be a good fit for Young.
    Within a recent mailbag column, ESPN's John Clayton writes a dissenting opinion on the potential pairing:
    - Tim Kavanagh

    John Clayton

    Newton more likely
    "Gailey's scheme could work with Young, but I don't think the Bills will try to acquire him. If they are going for a quarterback who can run, they'd be better served to draft Cam Newton. I believe the plan is to go with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who would put more points on the scoreboard than Young. Still, the fate of this franchise will be determined by the next quarterback it drafts. If the Fitzpatrick move doesn't work out, the Bills probably will be in position to draft Stanford's Andrew Luck in 2012."



    VY is not worth it IMO despite the fact that Chan is known for his ability to work with QBs

    Just like the Bills were going to trade for Tyler Thigpen or try to trade for Vick, right?

      Rumor is the Bills did try to trade for Vick.

        I understand (insert team) is willing to trade (insert player) and according to (insert reporter) at (insert news outlet) the Bills are interested in making a deal. It must be true because Pat Moran reported the story on his website.

            Back when Vick was being traded I posted that the Bills had ongoing conversations on acquiring Vick. And Dungy confirmed it last season during a halftime show.

              I wouldn't mind signing Young as a FA. Screw handing away picks for him.

                I'd look at him, if he was cut. Wouldn't trade a bag of cookies for him.

                  I hate this thread title, which puts the Bills and Young in the same sentence.

                  The Bills should either live with Fitz or draft their QB of the future. Young is not even a good interim move. He has proven over and over to be not mentally equipped to play QB in the NFL.
                  Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

                    Turned out great for Phili......
                    I wanted Vick so bad on the Bills, but he was never a good QB.....LOL

                    Young is a pretty decent QB and to be honest I think he is a better prospect then any QB in this draft besides may be Cam Newton.....I just don't want the Bills to give away alot for him......
                    3rd rounder Im fine with at the most........

                        The guy is divisive, volatile and practically uncoachable. He had a huge hand in getting a very good, 17 year coach ousted in Tennessee. I just don't think we need a distraction like him when we are trying to develop a young team.

                          If the Bils sign Vince Young, I'm might cry a little bit. If they trade for him, I'm literally going to fist myself.

                            We need a leader at QB. Not a little baby. We'd be better off sticking with Fitz.

                              Yeah, I'm sure Dick Jauron & his merry men would have developed Vick like he has in Philly.....LOL
