‘Manuel must learn how to protect his body if he wants to preserve himself as a dual-threat quarterback. And because of Manuel’s inability to stay on the field, the Bills may have too little to evaluate before properly determining whether they should use another high draft choice on a quarterback in six months.’

‘No offense to Lewis, who had a nice game against the Bengals and might be as capable as Manuel at this point of the game. But Manuel is the future, the franchise guy. He was the unquestioned story line of the Bills’ season. It wasn’t so much about the record, but his development.’

‘Dolphins 24, Bills 20.’

‘”It’s awesome to be able to come back,” said Lewis, who is 0-2 as an NFL starter. “They always say the quarterback position is one that leads, so you just want to show everyone that you belong in this league.

‘Dolphins 23, Bills 16.’

‘It’s going to be a tough act for the Bills to fly down to Miami and upend a mending Dolphins team that is coming off their bye week. The struggles on the road for Buffalo have been well-recorded, with them not having a victory away from Ralph Wilson Stadium since October 14, 2012. It’s a hurdle to clear and a very important step for Buffalo as they try to progress as a young team, and this is their best chance to do it in the month of October. It will likely be a close contest that will come down to which quarterback can overcome the pass rush of their opponents most effectively, and although not an extraordinary talent, Tannehill and his ability to throw under pressure will ultimately be the difference in the game.’
