    Bills QB Roster

    Even though we're already ****ed, if EJ goes down, which is pretty much inevitable, we're royally ****ed.

    I'm not sure an NFL team has EVER gone into the season with such inept QBs. And it's a damn shame because the rest of the roster is good enough to win more than they lose.

    It's totally irresponsible and reprehensible what OBD has assembled under center for 2014.

    Re: Bills QB Roster

    I echoed the same sentiment last year.

    With even average QB play last year this team was a borderline playoff team.

    The 1985 Bills had washed up Ferragamo & Dufek, who got cut after opening day & replaced by never would be Mathison, who ended up the starter & got cut before the next season. The only QB worth a damn was a rookie (Reich) who started the season on IR & spent most of the season on it and wouldn't start a game until 1989.

    This is going down in the anals of Bills history with Dufek & Marangi.

    The terrible thing is with a decent QB (even a Fitzpatrick), this is a good team.

    2 years in a row the front office did absolutely nothing to improve the situation behind the starting QB. Jordan Palmer looked like Robert Palmer last night.

    Just terrible. OBD doesn't draft QBs often enough (to hit on one), and when they do they do it in the wrong year (Losman/Aaron Rodgers) (Manuel/Bortles) etc....

    It's not really the drafting that upsets me as much as the fact that they are in year 2 with EJ and there's no veteran behind him to push him, or step in if he can't hack it.

    I think the Bills will pick up a QB when one becomes available after teams make their cuts.

    Trying to win with other teams' rejects? We've seen this episode before and it ends with a train wreck.

    As usual, the team goes into the season well under the cap when they could have made moves for just a few million that would have gone a long way.

    Re: Bills QB Roster

    The difference between Jets and Bills...

    Jets want to win -- Geno Smith is better than Manuel yet they still bring in Vick.

    Bills don't care --- They bring in no one and end up with Jordan Palmer

    I had no interest in the Bills getting Vick when the Jets got him, but that was under the faulty assumption that the Bills would do something else about backup QB.

    I should have known better.

    Really? Orton can play. Why is he not in here? Is he too good to back up EJ they need less talent not more?

    Who though. Anyone cut isn't going to be much better than the steaming pile of crap the Bills have at the backup spot right now. This year's QB situation is worse than last year's, imo.

    I think based on last year, the Bills did not think anyone would be available in FA that was better than Thad & Jeff.

    Thad inexplicably played much worse in TC than he did last year.

    It is not like anyone great was out there to be signed, but you would have thought they would have at least drafted another QB this year.

    Maybe Grossman or Ponder.

    I think both of them are better than Tuel & Palmer.

    Ponder or Mallett if cut would be instant upgrades.

    No way Mallett gets cut.

    I'd take either in a heart beat.

    Well, Orton did not play all that well in Dallas last year when given the chance which is why the Cowboys signed Weeden this offseason.

    NOBODY has signed Orton since the Cowboys cut him.
