deluca67 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 His running style probably fits what Ryan wants to do more than Spiller's does, but he's on the wrong side of 28 (the age where the average RB peaks). If they can get him on a cheap one-year deal, sure. Otherwise, there are plenty of RBs who can fill the need. i wouldn't sign him to big money either. Jackson's age and Spiller heading out the door, this team is going to need RB's. Figure they will draft one and sign a couple, Johnson is an option for the right price.

Hoss Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 We don't need a Chris Johnson-type back. If it was three years ago maybe, but no chance now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan Huff Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Chris Johnson could be had pretty cheap. But I'd rather try to resign Spiller, nothing outrageous though. Fixing the o-line should be the number one priority. Loved the incognito signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Balls Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Oh boy....looks like Josh McClown will be the Bills next QB to battle with EJ. He was at the Sabres game last night...ugh!!! This really isn't cool. I would take Dirty Sanchez over this bum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was at the Sabres game last night...ugh!!! This really isn't cool. I would take Dirty Sanchez over this bum.Looking at all available options...none of it matters. Every single alternative is on EJ's level, so unless we get lucky in the draft, our QB is likely to suck. Good news? We finished 8-8 (no, not counting that lame Patriots win) with crappy quarterbacking. If we can get a little more out of the defense (which I think is likely) and build an effective run game (very possible), we can get 10 wins in spite of the QB play. Before anyone says it, I'm well aware we need a significant QB upgrade to truly be contenders. I'm just going to base all of my Bills analysis on the assumption that we can't get that for next season, and I really don't want "until we get a QB nothing matter" to be all anyone says in this thread for a calendar year.

That Aud Smell Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 The move to sign McCown is neither inspiring nor surprising. I also don't think that this rules out signing Sanchez, although it does seem to make it less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't think that this rules out signing Sanchez, although it does seem to make it less likely. Sanchez didn't have much to work w/ when he was in New York. The Bills have people to throw to, and Sanchez and Ryan have worked together before. As for for their respect for one another, I have no idea what that may be. If Rex feel Sanchez can be a keep it simple stupid kind of guy w/ few mistakes, the Bills should go after him. Buffalo's D' is stacked. Baltimore won a Super Bowl w/ Trent Dilfer. Their D' was insanely good. Dilfer simply didn't make the costly mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 From a skill set, he was actually ranked in the top ten in both run and pass blocking by Pro Football Focus in 2013 before he was released. That being said his behavior in locker room and his use of the N Word in any context have no place in today's society I think you are wrong, i think the use of the N word still has a place in todays society, just don't be white when using it :p That phenomenon is not limited or even related to this country in any way. very true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Bears wouldn't commit to Jay Cutler today and multiple reporters are saying they think this shows that they're going to move him. He's still, by far, the best option out there. I'm more all-in on Cutler than I was before. The draft isn't going to get us anything immediate and free agency is a bunch of garbage. Get it done.

Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) @JasonLaConfora: Sam Bradford has permission to seek a trade. Finding compensation to Rams' liking will be difficult.

Samson's Flow Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 @JasonLaConfora: Sam Bradford has permission to seek a trade. Finding compensation to Rams' liking will be difficult. But his agent can speak to other teams One of these two will be Bills (that's my hopeful prediction) My preference would be Bradford over Cutler, but either one is a definite NFL starter. We could use one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 LaConfora followed up that Bradford tweet by saying it's still most likely that they restructure his contract and keep him. Their GM values him more than teams around the league do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm not even remotely a Bradford fan. He's EJ with a longer injury history. Give me Cutler or literally do a series of coin flips to determine which UFA turd we sign because at that point it really doesn't matter.

Give me Cutler or literally do a series of coin flips to determine which UFA turd we sign because at that point it really doesn't matter. The comparison from Bradford to EJ aren't even close. Bradford has shown that he's a starting QB in this league when healthy. Problem is that he's never healthy. With that said: I take Cutler due to health. If health wasn't an issue I would take Bradford... But if health wasn't an issue he'd be under a $100M+ contract with the Rams and unavailable.

Bradford Manuel QBR 40.7 34.8 (42.3 in 10 games as a rookie, 19.8 in five games this year...need more starts) CMP% 58.6 58.6 YPA 6.29 6.43 TD:INT 1.55 1.33 It's not a pure comparison because Bradford improved in his 3rd and 4th seasons (Manuel's rookie numbers are better than Bradford's) but I think it gets the point across.

Hoss Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Rating for Bradford were narrowly below Manuel's for their rookie seasons but I'd take Bradford there any day... Bradford 354 for 590 (60%) 3,512 yards, 18 TDs and 15 INTs Manuel (extrapolated to 16 games) 288 for 490 (58.8%) 3,155 yards 18 TDs and 14 INTs Bradford's two healthy seasons he was over 3500 yards and 18 TDs (21 in 2012). Ratings don't like Bradford but his numbers are far better than what Manuel is currently capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
