To Me the key to the Jason Campbell trade is what we give up if we have to give up a third rounder whats the point? let Washington keep him and pay him until they feel they need to release him.

Then there the recently let go Marc Bulger.....

Now heres an interesting idea. Marc Bulger at one point and time was as good as they come in this league he was agile had a cannon for an arm had great pocket presence but something happened but what happened a guy doesnt just become a terrible player in this league overnight something happened. Mike Martz leaving is what happened the offence spouttered out of control and bye bye Marc Bulgers career.

Now I dont know to much about Chan Gailey but I do know he is somewhat of an offensive guru, and when you look at the offensive "weapons" in Buffalo we do have a few. Lee Evans is a DEFINTE deep threat, Fred Jackson can create of the dump thanks is most part to CHECK DOWN TRENT and Roscoe when he is used right could be a Santana Moss type player Santana even said it himself. So why not throw Marc Bulger a bone offer him a minimal deal and see what this guy can do. Whats the worst thing that can happen he doesnt make the team we release him?

Then there is a guy named Billy Volek who backs up Phillip Rivers in San Diego. Now I know for a fact the Buddy Nix know what Billy is all about and I know the bills could throw Marshawn out there for Volek straight up.

What about this gentleman known as Troy Smith who won a Heisman award just Like Tebow that has been buried on The Ravens bench and knows that Joey Flacco is the go to guy there so hes gotta be worth a look.

Now I know what alot of people are gunna say why not just take a QB in the draft, but if all your having to give up for these guys in minimul compensation then why draft a QB? Why not try to give a guy that has paid his dues in this league a fair shot to be a starter in this league.

The draft can fill definte holes on your roster in the first 3 rounds if you draft right and thats why we got Buddy to get the draft right so why not go out and give these guys a try.

Now im not saying go out and get all of them but hey if we have 5 guys competing for the starting position on this roster then so be it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride and let the best QB win because in reality as Bills fans what else could we ask for?

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Even if we get Bulger for peanuts, I still want to draft a QB, and then what would we do with 5 QB’s? I’d rather take a chance that Trent turns things around than Marc Bulger. Sorry.

Yeah but you have to get these guys going I think now with new management these guys are scared but a guy cant get better if he doesnt have the tools to get better if you have 5 guys working for three spots the 3 hardest working guys are gunne get the jobs bottom line. Bulger was a bonified Pro Bowler for like 3 years he has the tools he just needs to get himeself going hes proven he can get the Job no one else on this roster at QB can say the same, and i also think alotta of people think the bills need to fill more hols then they actuially have to fill we adressed an LB with the signing of Davis we Need a LT badly, we need another Reciever somewhat badly and we needanother DL that can cause havoc other then that this roster is solid I dunno where all the criticism comes from.

They train together went to the same school Sanata even is on record saying Roscoe could be legitimate threat in this league

So Moss is gonna throw his buddy under the bus and say that he stinks and will never be a good NFL WR?

I’m not sold on Bulger but I think Campbell or Smith would be great additions. Failing that, I’m fine with Trent winning the starting job for one more year. I think if we can keep him standing and give him a consistent offence to run he’s still got a lot of potential. I agree that there are big needs that the first three picks can fill.

I'll take Bulger, thanks.

Bulger over Campbell in our current situation, in a heartbeat. And not just because we need a QB. Hear me out.

Yes, Bulger is an injury risk, but even that can be used to our advantage. How? Easy…

- First and foremost, he doesn’t come with any loss of draft picks attached, and the price should be relatively cheap, especially due to durability concerns. Win and win.
- Secondly, he has veteran starter experience, and is a proven leader. That’s an asset the Bills need, period.
- Thirdly, because he’s a veteran and a leader, he’s the perfect person to give a two year contract to and mentor and groom our young QBs into something truly great. I include Edwards, Brohm and whomever we draft (please, anyone but Clausen) in that list. And here’s where the injury concern plays in too – he’ll still be on OUR sidelines helping the young QBs as they go if he gets hurt.
- Fourth(ly?), it fees us up from absolutely having to take a QB in the 1st round – something I personally think would be a huge mistake in this draft, at this point in time.
- Finally, he’s a proven commodity. Yeah, it’s a risk at this point in his career, but less than someone like Campbell.

I say pick up Bulger for a song, let him duke it out with Edwards for the starting job (and likely win), drop Fitzpatrick from the roster and pick up a Tebow or other mid-round QB, and watch our young guys grow into truly frightening QBs (in a good way) over the next two years.

I fail to see how a quarterback with durability concerns is a win win. Bulger seems to me like he was a good qb once upon a time, but then he took ~~one~~ way too many trips to the ground. The way I see it one of two things occur, either the o-line next year is bad and Bulger is just as bad here as he was on the Rams or the o-line is good. If the o-line is good, I think Edwards has a better shot at making a comeback than Bulger.
I don’t think paying next to nothing for a camp body is ever a bad idea, but I really don’t want to carry Bulger simply to be a mentor.

Bingo

This has much more to do with him turning terrible than Martz leaving. The guy has been broken in half over & over & over & over again. Every ounce of talent & usefulness has been pounded out of that guy. Sorry, but that ship has sailed long ago.

I agree with everything you just said. Awhile ago i wrote about how I think we should look at picking up somebody like Bulger and it got shot down in every which way. Now that it cost nothing to get him I say he is the perfect stop gap. Hes a proven vet. He can groom Tebow (hopefully). And he is very VERY cheap at this point. Get him to OBD now!

by Blobillsfootball on Apr 7, 2010 1:08 PM EDT up reply actions

if Bulger costs nothing and could send Trent packing. I’ll take it.

The only way I would take Bulger is as a camp invite. Roscoe will never be Santana Moss which isn’t saying much. And obviously Volek isn’t that great because no one is going after him

by billsfan26 on Apr 6, 2010 6:56 PM EDT reply actions

Troy Smith

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – this guy is well worth a 5th rounder. I know nobody on here believes me or will acknowledge it. But that’s OK. If he ever gets his shot on another team as a starter. I sincerely feel he is going to seriously surprise some people.
Then again, I trust that Nix knows what he is doing, and if the Bills don’t take a QB, load up on the lines & defense, I’m OK with that too.
