I expect we'll be light a couple of QB's by the end of next week. Smith.... Thigpen... Fitz... Jackson... I don't know who, but somebody's getting their walking papers.

Accuse me of jumping the shark all you want.

If I were trying to sell my less-than-talented first round QB, this is EXACTLY how I would go about doing it. -Cut down my roster, and then surround my gleaming prospect with training camp shrubbery.

Flame me all you want. If I'm wrong about this then GREAT! I would be positively ecstatic if none of this came to pass. -However, this reeks of a scam. I'd like to hear the reason for signing this dead-arm kid to our roster.

Jackson and Thigpen are FAs, Smith is not a QB. In a month this team will have one QB under contract, Therefore, it's a good idea to get someone signed.

i'm not flaming you, but not even I think this is a reasonably possible plan. It starts with us drafting Nassib..

I hope when you sober up you can look back on your posts and laugh.

+1. This.

I don't think ANYONE suspects that Corp is going to be a starter. From what the cap reports are saying, Fitz is likely too big of a hit to simply cut, and we're likely to take a QB in the draft. Jackson and Thigpen are gone, and Marrone has zero reason to try to keep them. This is picking up a dirt cheap third stringer.

All part of Buddy’s plan. Had we cut him after training camp last year, another team may have swooped in and grabbed him. So Buddy being the savvy GM that he is figured he’d cut the guy in May so no one would think he was worth a damn allowing us to bring him back in this year. Pure genius!!!!

Seriously, this is just a camp thing and is no different than all the other scrubs being signed around the league this time of year. They were out of the league last year and 99.9999% of them will be out of the league again next year. It may even just be a minicamp thing since Fitz is the only QB currently under contract…we gotta make sure we have some guys to throw during spring ball.

I wish more people in this thread would employ Occam's razor. The simplest explanation of this signing is this:

1) It's Buddy's job to add talent to the roster.2) The Bills currently have no backup quarterbacks3) If Corp works out well, he'll beat out enough other potential backup QBs to secure a spot on the roster4) If Corp doesn't work out, the Bills lose nothing

Let's say there's only a 5% chance of outcome 3) occurring. The more 5% chances Buddy gives himself, the more likely he is to have something good happen. It's not like Buddy is the only GM doing this. All GMs around the league will expand their rosters to the maximum allowable 80+ size; and almost all of those additional players will end up camp fodder when rosters are reduced down to 53.
