Oh curseword. Why?

[Lurker]

Well, he's got to be a better wildcat option than Brad Smith...

[Numark]

i guess you could argue he is better than thigpen?

[Mopreme]

Why not, former first round pick.  Probably an upgrade to what the Bills currently have on the team.

WGR says he flew in this morning:

Not if you base it on last year with the Eagles, which may be unfair...

Interesting considering Vince and Mario were the hotly debated "who should be the 1st pick in the draft for the Texans?" back in 2006 .

I'm not mad about it. Not a guy I make a centerpiece but can be a top flight backup in a good situation and this seems to be the low pressure, highly supportive, place that could level him out some.

The guy no doubt has some skills.  I also think that Chan would be able to maximize those skills.

Ummm...but the Eagles opted for Trent Edwards rather than bringing VY back...?

Exactly!  I'll take my chances with Thigpen as the backup rather than this idiot.

The glitzy lockerroom with high profile me guys is the epitome of the wrong place for him to get his head square. I'm not saying he will here, but it's better.

[dpberr]

Three things to keep in mind:

1.  Trent Edwards made Vince Young expendable.

Yes, that Trent Edwards.

2.  Vince Young has all the talent in the world and 0.0% of it consists of work ethic.

3.  Even the QB Renovation Realities of franchises decided to not to keep him around.

Is he better than Thigpen?  Not sure.  Threw four interceptions in a game last year against last year.

I don't think he's "that" guy anymore.

I thought it was Reggie Bush and Mario??

Couldn't have said it better myself.

He has nothing left to lose, and with Thigpen as our backup, neither do we.

There is no--REPEAT, NO--harm in this.

[Lurker]

No matter what, though, I like the fact it sends a message that the Bills are being aggressive about adding talent (we can debate that in Young's case) to the rest of the league and says they are in "win now" mode.

It's sure to get them some airtime with the national talking heads, if nothing else...

[808]

i think its a good move to bring him in. see where hes at mentally and if hes willing to be a backup. i actually thought the bills shoulda have gone after him when he first became available. i think chan could work well him his attributes.

[Bills of Boston]

No harm in this... far better than any of our backups... this is one of those things to NOT worry about
