Rex briefly considered bringing Vick to Buffalo before deciding it really wasn't a good idea

[Villain The Foe]

With the rest of the stadium flaccid as newborns, you would still have rigid wood in the stands of a Jets/Bills game awaiting one of their ridiculous tundra cloud storms...watching him...waving to him...calling out his name...dreaming of what might have been.

Sounds like my dream last night.

Was it really wet??

[Charlie Brown]

That's correct.  Rex is not going to announce the starting QB until stating game.  He wants to keep Colts in suspense.  However, JMO  based upon practice results,  it strongly appers that Taylor will start.

JMO it was dumb when Rex and his staff waited while he was here to name a starter and it is dumb now. 

 

In fact it was one of the reasons why the better QB, at that time, got injured playing behind weaker players. 

[sourceworx]

Rex says it's a Bills decision who the starting QB will be.

Deflecting blame already.

Im ashamed to say!

Not that I wanted to add to the board's Rexession, but this was too good not to post..

Coach Rex Ryan told PFT Live on Friday that the Bills considered signing free agent Michael Vick, but believed his odds of success were slim in Buffalo's bad weather.

Vick has notoriously small hands. "Our conditions are a little different than most teams," said Ryan. "And Mike will tell you, he’s not built really for a bad weather quarterback. He doesn’t have great big hands, and the weather affects him some. And he’d be the first one to tell you." The Bills know they don't have a legitimate quarterback, and Ryan acknowledged as much Friday by revealing their flirtation with Vick in addition to suggesting they might not name a starter until game day of Week 1. It's going to be an ugly year for offense in western New York.

 

Why would anyone who coached Vick last year even give one second of thought to that.  An undisciplined mind at work

[Mogglez]

Tyrod Taylor starting is my opinion.

It's also my hope. From your lips to gods ears.

[drdetroit]

Vick is done.

Was before last season.

[RutgersJetFan]

Maybe my favorite post ever. There's just so much to love here.

It's like he's not outsmarting just the league, but the world.

[Ex-Rex]

Once he gets a full dose of E.J. Manuel, Vick will begin looking good for an offensively inept HC who will grasp at ANY straw to get SOME offense.

As horrible as Vick is now he probably still is better than EJ and Matt Cassel.

He's had some really good practices this week.  

[FTL Jet Fan]

Can we please stop with Rex who gives a sh*t what he is doing up in buffalo, we know how this story ends!!

Interesting. They were saying yesterday on NFLN that Cassell had it locked up. Then again they also think Fitz is going to start the season for the Jets

I've heard from sources that Cassel is doing "okay" and others that say he looks good.  I know that Tyrod has been consistently improving and had  really good days  during the last 3 practices.  It's confusing.  I am anxious for the season to start.

How frustrating it is.... Decent team assembled all around and the QB spot is possibly going to. 6th round pick from 4 years ago.

JETS, Bills are just frustrating to cheer for until we have a solid QB.

Definitely confusing , hard to imagine one QB can look okay and another completely different human can think he looked good

I know.  Just can't believe the similarities in our teams this year.

Not tonight - (8/8) - very disappointing.

Well,  I read an article a few minutes ago and it looks like Cassel will start in our game against the Panthers. Looks like all 3 QB's will have a chance to start in the pre-season games.     This is truly a one day at a time scenario.

I'm here for you.

I keep reading it's going to be Cassel

[jamesr]

They say when you have two QBs, you have no QB. What about when you have three?

I know Cassel is starting in our preseason game against the Panthers.  However,  I understand that EJ and Taylor will also have an opportunity to start at a preseason game.    Taylor had a good week during the last 3 days of practice.  He received positive  feedback   throughout the season.    Lately, there has also been positive reports about Cassel. but I'll be surprised if Taylor doesn't start this season.

You don't have a QB, you are not going to the playoffs. Your QB situation is actually worse then ours, and probably the worst in the league.

 

Rex is truly a buffoon for jumping back in the same situation he failed at here, and your ownership is just as bad for hiring a coach who failed in the same setup and has been unable to develop a QB at all

It's going to be a lot of fun watching somebody else lose in the Jetsiest ways imaginable for a change.

It's just the way it is, but you're a fan so you don't want to see it. Look at us, we hired a sr citizen to run our offense who this time last year was taking afternoon naps, driving with his left hand blinker on and going to bed at 7:30pm. But as a fan base have deluded ourselves into believing he's some kind of offensive savant,  his qb's have been in the top 1/2 of the league in yardage 1/2 the time.

I'd be totally shocked if he does. And if somehow he does start I think it says your QB situation is much worse than anyone believed coming into the season.
