I don't disagree with that at all. But that's how the chips fell for him, hopefully he's mentally strong enough to get through the benching. I'm not of the belief that EJ is done in the NFL and he may still bounce back. The problem is if he's not mentally strong enough to recover from the lackluster start to his career. EJ hasn't even started a full season yet. Geno on the other hand already has more starts under his belt and it looks like he will continue to start. He's already at 21 games started compared to EJ's 14. All i'm saying is that if Geno continues to start this season at the expense of the rest of the team and he continues to perform as badly as he has that's 2 years of games you have as a sample and the odds are definitely against him turning it around significantly (as can be seen by the lack of recent examples of QB's who have started 2 seasons, were bad, and then ultimately turned it around). Stafford went into his 3rd season with only 13 games started due to injury but had shown flashes as he had 19TD's through 13 games. Though he did have a lot of INT's remember he inherited an 0-16 team when he was drafted. My point is that he had flashes of greatness his rookie season throwing 5td's in one game. His injuries were a bit of a concern but so was that horrible O-line but I don't remember reading any articles at the time saying he was a bust. Geno (and EJ) have not had any flashes of greatness yet - they've been "OK" some games - but neither one of them have had that wow factor yet that leads people to think that there may be something great there. More concerning for both (especially Geno) is their regressions in their second year.

? Maybe we need to make a distinction between QB's who sat on the bench b/c they had a HOF QB in front of them and those QB's who started from day 1 (like EJ) before you throw around insults. You specifically replied to QB's being considered busts after 2 years and you provided Rodgers as an example along with Stafford as an example. That's false and there's no arguing it. Stafford threw 41 TD's in his second full season. That's a bust?

Drew Brees threw for 17TD in his first full season and 27TD's in his 3rd full season. he did have a sophomore slump. So yeah, maybe Brees took a little longer to develop.

I cant think of a qb who was below average to bad his first 2 seasons in nfl and then went on to be great. At least not in last 20 yrs..

Rodgers was never considered a bust. Stafford is not a bust.

Jets season over. They look like dog$h*t

A road game too. One where we were 7pt dogs

My main thought exactly. Orton shook off his rust and got better as game went on. Things are looking up. Also, the run game did nothing to help out the passing game

Lmao. Awesome. Thanks

+1

Too lazy to look up why was be suspended?

A lot of what ifs there. I also highly doubt EJ never sees a snap again on the Bills. If he has the right attitude he'll grow from this. Though his accuracy may be suspect i think ej's main problem has been failing to see plays develop properly and making the wrong reads. He can still improve in that

Dave Birkett is reporting the megatron will most likely play sunday

You serious man?

I do too, especially when a house is being offered for sale for $50: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7347-Wykes-St_Detroit_MI_48210_M45160-28621?row=7 Or $50 too high for you? Here, you can get one for $1: http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/4298-Allendale-St_Detroit_MI_48204_M44191-10758?row=3&ex=MI571978365 I think the $50 house includes circuit breakers..

To be fair, we don't yet if EJ isn't the answer. He hasn't been good, but he hasn't been HORRIBLE either. A bit below average overall during 14 games. Let him sit and regroup and see if he can come back stronger. He wouldn't be the first QB who was benched and came back to have a great career.

lmao. nice.

haha. these TNF games have been B.R.U.T.A.L. I can't believe I picked the Vikings to cover 9.5 points. UGH. UGH.

What kind of people do you work with? This guy sounds like he was chatting with you from prison.

Kyle Williams not practicing isn't news. It's more about whether this is a 2-3 week thing or a season ending thing IMO.

I'll take it. You think Seattle was complaining a few years ago when they made it in at 7-9 or whatever their crap record was? Who cares how we make it in. Winning the division from New England and Tom Brady and BB will always be awesome even if it's done at 6-10

I didn't need to watch this all-22 to realize EJ blew chunks against the Texans - I actually thought the announcers did a pretty good job during the game of showing other WR that were open on plays where EJ just made the wrong choice. Watching the all-22 made me realize how bad our guards were too though =/

Pictures worth a thousand words. He was horrible vs. Texans. There were plays to be made. Big plays.

I'm psyched. The Jets look horrible. The pats look horrible. We destroyed Miami. We're 1-0 in division. First place. EJ was a negative through the first 4 games. Lets see what a professional veteran QB can do. If Orton can't cut it, put EJ back in there after the Bye week to see how or if he regrouped. Let EJ finish the rest of the season and confirm whether or not he has what it takes. But if Orton can move this offense better than EJ, I'm fairly confident he can win at least 6 games out of 12 remaining games which would put us at least at 8-8 and a damn good shot at winning this pathetic division.
