Foles is being released, should the Bills get him ???

[k-oneputt]

Vic Carucci reporting Bills not interested in Foles.

Whaley just can't get over his EJ f-up.
Better hope Tyrod doesn't get hurt or Whaley will be looking for a job come January.

[Joe Fo Sho]

Simple question, who would you rather starting if Tyrod goes down, Foles or EJ.

EJ

This opinion remains the same whether we have EJ or Foles as a backup. We're more than likely doomed if we have to use either of them.

[k-oneputt]

Foles is functional, he has proven that already in this league.

EJ has proven we have to overcome his play to have any chance of winning.

[feldspar]

Foles is too white maybe.

Foles has had bad games just like EJ. He had a nice 3 INT game in a blowout against Cincy and a 4 INT, 140 yard showing against the Packers this past year. His team couldn't overcome him just like we couldn't overcome EJ in the Jacksonville game. I'm assuming that's the game you're talking about...it's the game everyone talks about.

Get him.

He's better than EJ. Well almost anyone is but yeah by all means lets do it. I don't ever wanna see 3 play a down for my team.

Foles may not be a star but he's at least proven to be serviceable. He's had ****ty games for sure but he's also had good ones. EJ's best game remains his 1st vs the Pats ages ago. Everything else has been close to unwatchable.

Can't get around the obvious. Besides not being any good, Foles doesn't fit the offense anyway. Pretty odd for anyone to think players are plug and play wherever, ignoring that they just aren't.

[k-oneputt]

Where exactly does EJ fit ?
He has never played well when called upon.

He moves. They don't want a pocket passer behind that line standing there. Is EJ good ? No. Does Foles, whatever illusion you have about him, hold up behind the less than redoubtable right side of that line ? No.

You can't expect Peyton Manning to run like Cam Newton, or Russell Wilson to stand in the pocket forever like Carson Palmer. You can't expect Fitzpatrick to sling balls 60 yards in the air like Roethlisberger, like you can't expect a short precision passing game to work for Robert Griffin.

Imho.

Don't understand people here. Who gives a crap if he's a pocket passer? He's the backup QB which is a huge upgrade over EJ who downright sucks. Kyle Orton did pretty ok here being a pocket passer.

I'd rather have Kyle Orton versus EJ right now.

Again, we'd be screwed if we had to use either of them.

1. Foles sucks
2. He fits the scheme as well as Matt Cassell did last year.
3. Foles sucks

He is soooo good that he had one lucky season, the Eagles had to trade him away for an injured Sam Bradford, then he promptly stunk up the joint and was replaced by Case ****** Keenum, and his franchise gave away the farm to trade up in the draft to get a real QB, and kicked him to the curb, instead of releasing Case ****ing Keenum.

Yeah, he's great. Bring him in.

[justasportsfan]

I think the plan is to keep EJ as the back up for one more year and then develop Jones to be the back up next year.

In the end I think Roman is getting rid of the QB position anyways and having 20 rb's on the roster.

[Night Train]

I think the Bills will look at other teams vet QB's who may be on the bubble during camp.

Here's the list of QBs in the NFL. Darned if I know who is available and worth it. BUF's not the only club scratching their head, I suppose.

I don't get your reasoning. He's a two time failure in compatible systems who fits our system like tits on a bull, but you don't get why he doesn't belong here because you want just anyone being a backup qb regardless of whether he has a prayer of succeeding. If you didn't notice it's a different offense from Kyle Orton/Marrone, you sort of think none of the details matter any, which honestly makes you watch games blankly, without any real comprehension, not like football even takes a whole lot.

We already have a body to fill the spot, regardless of chance of success, don't we ?

Uhhh that was a bunch of wasted typing.

Maybe while your criticizing people's aptitude you should replay the Jaguars game from last season. The back-up QBs job is to win enough games to keep you alive while the starter is temporarily out.
