Yup. #noasterisk

Yes and going completely out of conference to boot. I never put much credence into the possibility of him going to the Pats.

You can't be serious. Have you been sleeping for the past couple of weeks? EJ needs a little more work but he's far from the guy who people wanted to push into a hole and throw dirt over.

Honestly though, are you surprised? The kid worked his butt off to get where he is.

I'm done listening to this clown.

So now Coller brings race into this?

They take their cue from the Buffalo media. They truly have no clue. Tea leaves #96

^^^^This

We all should.

I'm listening to that. I'm disgusted. They are so dismissive of any opinion that does not favor Cassel. Buffalo doesn't need to play 'safe'. If he says "tea leaves" one more time, I'm going to scream.

That one wasn't so good...

Yes....I think he will. I can't see any scenario where we cut any of these guys.

Any questions?

Perhaps this was the plan all along. I think we can all agree that EJ has needed the most development of all three. Work him for most of camp with the 2s & 3s to get more more consistent in the basics before being thrown into a more complex game situation. Then see how he does. If he does well, we might very possibly have the guy we've been looking for sitting immediately behind whomever starts the season (Tyrod, IMO). Cassel is strictly for insurance, I think.

This is excellent news! It's in the best interest of every Bills fan for this kid to succeed. I can't see how anyone could think otherwise. Good luck, EJ!

Is anyone paying attention to the reports coming out of camp? Ryan says there's every possibility that they'll keep all three QBs. He also said they'd keep the best 53 regardless of position (that's a bit of a stretch, IMO), but considering that they are now seeing solid play out of all three I see this as a very real possibility. More development time for EJ. Who is now a solid QB (with a new contract, mind you). He looked just like EJ and possibly worse. The thing is that Tannehill was allowed to play through his growing pains.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Many want to close the book on EJ but he's not any different than most QBs of the not so distant past (and present). It was once expected that the first round QB you picked would sit and learn behind an established vet for 3-4 years before getting his shot. We haven't had that and said situation is a rarity in today's league. I have this sinking feeling that if we cut him loose that he'll finally catch fire elsewhere in a year or two.

LOL!!!

I think Jawbreaker will do. The guy needs his own candy...big marble-sized with a Bills insignia. Marketing dept needs to get on this.

No joke. Being reported all over. Was listening on Sirius this morning and they were saying that he was having a decent camp and that the Bills and the Jags were the only likely teams that would be interested but opined that IK would be out of football for some time. Guess not. Rex must know something about this kid.

Wow.....and he already comes with a nickname. Move along, nothing to see here.

Agree. IMO, Rex is starting Cassel in the first preseason game to give him a chance to either win the job outright against the opponent's first team or prepare to backup one of the other two. Cassel is the experienced vet and if he doesn't put in a performance that is significantly better than EJ and Tyrod, why give him the job ahead of two younger guys who have more upside?

Not so fast. First, he has to get a temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction putting the suspension in abeyance. One of the threshold questions is likelihood of success on the merits. That is seriously in question with the revelation of the destruction of the cell phone. At a minimum, it will make for some interesting argument.

What could go wrong? To quote an old commercial: Bad things, man....bad things...
