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

    I'd toss EJ to the curb on first blush, bring Foles into camp as a backup with CJ watching and learning:

    Foles had some level of success, EJ has had none and regressed. Can everyone here realize we have no back up QB at all ?? TT is going to miss a game or two, almost assuredly and we will have nothing but a loss. Wake up folks, it's time.

    Even if we wanted to do this, how would we make the cap space?

    2013 he had 27 TDs/2 INT with a 64% completion percentage. Yeah. We're pretty sure you don't know WTF you're talking about. He's an easy upgrade over EJ Manuel.

    Low risk at this point and with only 3 QBs on the roster makes sense to add one to shake up the mix.

    That's way too much, at most give him $2.5 million.

    He had one really good year with Chip Kelly, then Kelly didn't even want him. Rams traded for him, now they don't want him. He's a pocket passer, not mobile, doesn't fit the offense, too expensive. I don't see the point.

    EJ <<<<<< Foles, get the point ?? EJ is not an NFL QB and he's not going to be, experiment over.

    He's not terrible, but that 2013 season was a mirage.

    He's an immobile pocket passer, he doesn't fit. You can't even think Foles would have a prayer standing there forever trying to figure out what he's doing with that right side of the line. So you'd rather see Foles crushed over and over throwing int's, than EJ running around before throwing an incompletion ?

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

    Ej is on this roster because he's more expensive to dump than to keep. This is his last year and hopefully we don't need to use him. I also think you need back ups who fit your starters offense. It's only fair to the rest of the team. Foles may be better than EJ, I would never debate otherwise, but I don't see the coast of dumping ej worth it

    When you have 6 RB's, roster spots become a premium (Even failed QB ones).

    This. He would be a good addition to our offense as a back-up.

    Seems like it at this point.

    Exactly why we need to see more from Taylor.

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

    Enough said.
