Seneca Wallace?

But I think the vets do go through waivers until the trade deadline

Players who have 4 years playing experience do not go through waivers. They go str8 to FAs

Only after the trade deadline. All players are subject to waivers up until the trade deadline.

Wallace if they want to carry 3 because Manuel isn't ready. Least worst to me.

Carr, Palmer, Hanie, Dixon. We already had Tanney, Corp, Edwards, Young. They're all pretty interchangeable until you plunge off the cliff down to Tebow level. None of them will make a difference just fill space either on the roster or on the field with minor variations in how bad they'll make you feel if they have to play.

Most of them will still be available through the year just watching TV anyway.

One guy I was sure would be on the list, because he's terrible, is Curtis Painter, who amazingly managed to become Eli Mannings backup in NY. But he must have major stuff on Peyton from the time he was terrible and managed to linger as his backup in Indy. He'll be available later in the year about a week after he has to play in a regular season game though.

Dayne Crist!!

The former Notre Dame dude who Charlie Weis brought in to save the Kansas Jayhawks last year.

He was the worst QB in the Big 12 last year. It reminded me of the Pop Warner coach/dad who started his son at QB, even though the whole team knew he sucked.

maybe I'm off base, but I'm just not freaking about having an experienced QB on the roster. Probably because with the youth of the receivers, I'm kind of giving the offense a mulligan this year.

But if they can find a good, experienced, smart one that can act as a mentor, I'm all for it.

Ummm...did you look at the list Gil?

yep, probably why I'm not screaming about getting one of them.

We could bring in Edwards..

"Look EJ, as a young QB, you can't possibly see the entire field on any given play. So just don't look past 10 yards and you'll be OK."

Re: Breaking down quarterback market for Bills

Well, Leinart has experience playing on the Bills.

as does Vince Young and that Trent Edwards feller ... personally, I grab a CFLer before any of the scrubs from that list ... what a waste land

I have my moments. Fewer and further between, but once in a while they pop up.

Re: Breaking down quarterback market for Bills

Dennis Dixon and Whaley have a connection. Whaley was in Pittsburgh when they drafted Dixon.

Re: Breaking down quarterback market for Bills

From that bad list, Seneca Wallace or Mike Kafka (who was a gamer at Northwestern)
