Vince Young?

[LarryDavid]

Im not saying that Young is the answer but he for sure is a better back up option then what we have. Thigpen is awful, he was soo bad that it forced our starter to play hurt for half the season so he didnt see the field. We do need to upgrade the position, not find a replacement for Fitz, just a solid backup. Vince would be a solid back up.

[VandelayIndustriesWNY]

Are you willing to gamble or would you rather have Thigpen ?

I don't want either. I'm just sick and ******* tired of fans wanting to take anyone at QB because they hate Thigpen so much. If that's the case, maybe Nix should give Jeff George, or, Ty Detmer a call.

People are obsessed with QBs on this board LOL

And Tight Ends

I'd rather have McNabb than young. at least I know he will put in the time to study and be prepared if he gets called on. Young has shown that he's not willing to put the work on to be successful. I'd rather have a guy less talented but better prepared.

I prefer Young over McNabb but I can live with either

I would support the move to bring in Young as an upgrade to Thigpen. The problem is this: Young still thinks he should be a starter. Clearly, this is the attitude you want out of any QB, however Andy Reid used it as the direct reason why he didn't intend to bring Young back for another year in Philly. Either Andy is just blowing smoke and looking for a convenient excuse to get rid of a guy who caused more trouble than he's worth or there's something in Young's mental makeup - active or passive - that makes him poorly suited to being a backup.

Still, if our only other option is Thigpen, I'd say we should jump on it, but Young isn't going to sign just to sign, he's going to wait as long as he can to find a situation that gives him at least an outside shot to start THIS YEAR. I wouldn't be surprised to see him unsigned through TC or the preseason, hoping to catch on after somebody blows an ACL.

But, I thought Fitzpatrick was the perfect backup quarterback

I want a backup that thinks he is a starter. I don't want a quartertback that thimks he is NOT a starter. He can leave the team next off season. I am talking about this year.

Never happen because of the distraction it would cause. They tied their wagons to Fitz and Young would certainly stir a Qb controversy at some point. So they want touch it.

This is correct.

This thread can now be ended.

Who cares, I have a decent back up, you don't

[your climax]

I can just picture Young and Fitz talking to each other and Young keeps interrupting him asking what the words Fitz are saying meanings.

Can't buy that. I think Young moves on after one season and the Bills draft a new quarterback in 2013.

[POSTERX]

Not gonna happen.

[Darkside02]

Nope, nice try though

Did we sign him yet?


This guy sounds serious.

I would love it, we now have a backup. Thigpen sucks

As I said, there's nothing wrong with having a competitive attitude about the position, the problem is he's not going to commit to a team with a firmly entrenched starter. According to Young himself, he has had some offers, but declined them because he didn't see a real possibility to compete for the starting job. We can't offer him that, so he won't come here.
