Marshawn is the same RB in Seattle that he was in Buffalo.EJ was benched...he wasn't cut. The kid has more potential than Geno Smith. I know it's unorthodox but as the old saying goes "Buy low and sell high". EJ is at a low point. You buy him up now quicker than an elephant eating peanuts. So you disagree? No big deal...but just remember how we let go of Marshawn and he blossomed. We need to lock EJ in now for the long haul.
You only buy low on valuable assets. EJ's value is in serious question and you have 3 more cheap years to figure him out. Why in the world would you throw money at him?? For me...it's the dumbest idea not proposed by me on this board.
-
If the Left Tackle got beat for 5 sacks, you'd want him replaced. If you CB gave up 3 TDs, same.
That's how bad EJ was the last 2 weeks. How is it any different? Everyone should suffer until we find out if this guy HAS a light that MAY go on? EJ was not alone in failing the last 2 weeks, but he was the leader and had ultimate control of the outcome.
Next.

Just to clarify: You're serious?

I'd rather my 58% be further down field than 5 yards. Look if he was any better, he'd be starting somewhere. The question is: Is he better that the 19 QBR who LOST TO THE TEXANS last week. I think it's worth a shot.Everyone keeps clamoring about how much more accurate Orton is.
Completion percentages
Orton - 58.5%
Manuel 58.6%
Orton averages only 200 yds / game and has a 1:1 TD/INT Ratio.
While I still don't know how I feel about the move, I will say people expecting big things from Orton need to pull way back on their expectations.

Tony D...
Excellent post. Really well thought out.
-
Mark Schlereth said tonight that he thought Orton was 2nd best QB in lEast and that neither Geno or EJ could play QB in NFL.
-
Excellent point. It'll be interesting to watch.
-
I'm amazed at your position on EJ. You should watch the games again. And maybe this IS the best thing for his development.What's more likely - the 31 year old improves or the 23 year old improves? They both might not improve.
But we didn't draft Orton with a 1st round pick. EJ should have had a longer leash. Especially when the backup is not a great qb himself.
Ask Kyle Williams and Fred Jackson how long EJ's leash should be....
-
that Tebow thing was a different animal. I'm sure his stats were worse than Ortons. That's alright. Even if he fails here, I commend Marrone and the Bills for refusing to settle for poor play and letting the next guy have a shot. It sends a good message to the team, to the fans and maybe even a free agent who might play here in the coming years.He had D Thomas and Decker in Denver, went 1-4, & lost his job to Tebow.
-
I feel better about it today than I did yesterday.
-
Orton never had these kinda weapons at his disposal. Maybe he can "Alex Smith" us to the playoffs..Has anyone ever seen Orton play? He is a dink and dunk master. Ask Bear and Bronco fans what they think about him.
He is the master of driving down the field and settling for field goals. I swear some people are thinking of the wrong qb.
-
Well, you could tell EJ is not an NFL quarterback now and may never be. Orton has started about 70 games in the NFL. You don't get to 70 if you completely suck. So yeah, I'm happy they made the switch.
The Bills will win the AFC East. They run and stop the run.All I know is if KC holds onto this lead over NE, then Buffalo is in first place and holds the tie-breaker advantage. For now...
-
No doubt. But Superbowl?Im simple, just give me a QB that can throw a pass to an open WR.
Think about it...there's a backup QB in the league right now who played well enough to get his team deep in the playoffs. He's under 30 and was a former #5 overall pick. What in the world would they have to lose in bringing Sanchez in next year. When he sucked, he had absolutely no WRs.
-
JUST STOP trying to make excuses for poor QB play. EJ has serious, if not fatal, accuracy issues. It's not the game plan. It's not Eric Pears. EJ has very little feel for the game. Period.
-
The one that annoyed me was a simple 10 yard in by Woods where EJ hit him in the earhole as he was turning around. There was no pressure. No reason to throw it when he did or where he did. That spoke volumes to me. The missed check down to Chandler is another clue as to where EJ is at.
Good breakdown by the way. I, too, would treat it as a bad throw if it's placed wrong, even if the WR had a chance to catch it. That being said, they need to catch that stuff.
-
The opening of Purple Haze is playing in my brain.
Bills fans are SO starved for success, even a decent team looks great.
-
But he is an NFL backup QB who has shown he can win in this league. The only thing EJ does well is interview apparently.Orton is just a back up
It seems to me that Marrone is being stubborn about this. He wants to show how his great coaching will put EJ in a position to succeed. He'll be nasty this week and point to breakdowns and drops, but everyone outside OBD can see that his QB just doesn't deserve to be on the field.
-
And look at him now!!!i REJECT the notion that EJ will be "ruined" if he misses a few games.
he missed 6 games last season.
-
Perfectly stated.Becoming a father 10 months ago makes watching EJ Manuel much easier. Whenever I watch him try to aim a football shotput or just bail out on a play, I look at my son playing happily on the floor and realize it's just a game.
-
I know you're pulling everyone's chain, but the joke has gone on long enough.He will turn it around and when he does....look out. We'll have teams clammoring to sign him. So it makes sense to sign him long term right now. I'd say sign him for 8 years but that might not fly...so 5 years/$75mill sounds reasonable. He would be locked in and we'll have a star in 2-3 more years on the cheap.
This is where you say "HA...I can't believe you thought I was SERIOUS!!"
-
Nor can they tackle!I'm getting that feeling too Captain, but the Oline still can't handle line stunts!
-
BOOM!!!Orton needs to start or I gotta think the locker room is going to start revolting soon. Too much talent on this team to be wasting time on a guy that clearly isn't going to be it
But I think the Bills will throw EJ to the wolves against a good Detroit team, they'll lose by a lot and Orton will start at home against New England. And that game might still be for the division lead.
Quietly, the AFC East sucks this year.
-
"EJ, you are good. You are confident. And gosh darn it, people like you".Matthew Fairburn writing for syracuse.com noted that EJ is going to be in contact with his mental coach from FSU. I don't even know how to adequately and appropriately respond to this, if true. A mental coach. You've got to be kidding me. Unbelievable.
"Prior to the game, Albert Breer of NFL Network reported Manuel was again working with his mental conditioning coach from Florida State."
Marrone cannot fix someone who's been told for years that he's good. Nor can Hostler, Downing, or Hackett. If a guy's mentally weak because no one has been hard on him at times, then the NFL isn't the correct venue to start.
That oughta do it.
-
Pointless, yet somehow satisfying.Jairus Byrd doesn't play for the Bills any longer. This schadenfreude over former players is pointless.
