Kelly on Bills QB’s: “Nervous but optimistic”

The question on everyone’s mind: What does he think of the Bills quarterback competition? And he’d be the primary one to inform you. Hopefully now we’re drafting in the teens and the 20s and the 30s. “Franchise quarterbacks hit the free-agent market?” “They’ll all have opportunities to be with the ones… all QBs will have two possessions with the ones”. We accept that challenge. “There isn’t [one].” Finishing with a 9-7 record last season, the Bills would have selected 19th overall in May had they not dealt that pick to the Cleveland Browns as part of the Sammy Watkins trade in 2014. “Year 3, I would say, [Manuel] is a tad behind”, Whaley said.

Vick, 35, served as a backup for Geno Smith with the Jets, starting three games.

But that original plan was blown up in year one when Kevin Kolb was injured and Manuel was thrust into the top job. We want to see a step. That’s up to him.

“They made some good throws”. With four days of practice complete, Rex Ryan has admitted the quarterback play has been rough at times. In SalSpeak, I will address each of the following tweets below in greater detail. A disappointed Dixon was stopped after practice, repeating his head coach on how long he could be out saying, “It just feels like a little cramp”. Could Percy Harvin, someone who has thrived in these formations throughout his career, be in this spot during the regular season on certain plays to add even more looks? “I think he has an extra advantage with that”. “Why? Because it’s important to us”. Right now we are just running plays.

Wednesday, I asked to hear from the glass half full fans, and I solicited my Twitter following to offer up reasons why we should be optimistic about the 2015 edition of the Bills.

The Bills don’t have the most desirable quarterback situation. Things didn’t get a heck of a lot better from there for Manuel. It will be a big group of players to watch, as the success of the offense as a whole will come down to how well the Bills are able to run the football.
