    Bills will explore all avenues for Quarterback

    Without elucidating his plans for EJ Manuel, new coach Rex Ryan acknowledged last week that theBuffalo Bills' quarterback situation is "unresolved."
    Although Ryan is "excited" to work with Manuel, he made it clear in a Sunday interview with Fox Sports' Ross Jones that the position won't be handed to the No. 16 overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft

    "Will we explore possible veteran free agents or draft picks out there? Absolutely," Ryan said. "We're going to explore everything to add competition because that makes your whole team better."

    Any CFL QBs that are worth a damn?

    They have to explore all options and there's no reason for Ryan to commit to EJ right now, but I still think EJ ends up being named the starter for 2015.

    Competition! Thank goodness.

    If EJ had some competition last year instead of getting the starting quarterback job handed to him, the Bills and EJ would be better off today.

    The competition will be between EJ, a seasoned veteran, and a rookie via the draft.

    I'm pulling for the rookie QB.

    All 3 quarterbacks will be working with a new offense.

    May the best quarterback win.

    I haven't watched a non Bills NFL game in two years, I was just hoping the CFL was still around.

    So no go on the CFL. How about a ridiculously successful college QB with a cannon of an arm, a good completion % playing in a pro style offense, started 4 years and was a team captain... but is too short or too skinny so he won't get drafted where he otherwise should?

    Flutie reincarnate? I'd take that with this team in a second.

    Or Drew Brees. Or Russell Wilson.

    NFL scouts sometimes undervalue small guys.

    Say hello to The Sanchize again. Rex has the tat.

    If everything works out perfectly, we might be able to trade Pegulas for Woody Johnson and the year 2010 and head to New Jersey at a discount on plane fare.

    This is confusing, even by Mace standards.

    Not really if you read it. It means we're trying hard to be the 2010 Jersey Jets.

    Re: Bills will explore all avenues for Quarterback

    I would rather dirty Sanchez start than EJ going into next year. I don't see a better option out there. Sign Mark and let him and EJ compete for the starting job. The majority of Bills resources should go into the offensive line and signing their own players.

    Re: Bills will explore all avenues for Quarterback

    in a perfect world we sign a roughly 23-30 year old FA to compete with EJ draft a project this year late

    EJ wins competition we either draft one 2016 or happy we waited for EJ

    pretty simple

    Re: Bills will explore all avenues for Quarterback

    As someone who follows college football closely, this is one of the worst years ever for QB's. Winston, Mariota & Hundley will go early and none are sure fire stars. Winston has the best natural ability on the field but is a walking migrane off the field. 2016 will be far better.

    Aquiring a Vet (or 2) is the way to go this year.

    LOL at EJ Manuel. How many QBs have their head coach walk out on them?

    Nick Davila Arizona Rattlers -Arena League Offensive Player of the Year

    (I wonder of the Arena League actually gives out a Defensive player of the year).

    100 TD passes in each of his first 5 seasons

    Now say it with me...

    "we will rally behind Nick Davila and play good football".
