  1. Funny, I was thinking about this the other night (I'm getting old I used to think about girls). Would be nice to know what would have happened it couldn't have been any worse. I believe he probably wanted Whiley coyote out and he ended up out.

  2. I mentioned in an earlier post I think he looks physically slower (used to look like he could take it to the house). The out pattern to Goodwin which was wide open and he missed badly (and he had had a few others) is a real concern. These are easy throws that he was making last year. It looks like he is playing scared, not sure if it is drilled in to him don't you dare turn it over or if he doesn't have a good year the contact is off the table or both. On a bright note Cardale Jones looked surprisingly good in the preseason and with a year under his belt he might be OK next year. Remember had he come out in 2015 he would have been a top ten pick.

  3. Herb...I am sure that Roman is getting visions of Russel WIlson when he looks at Taylor because they have similar skill set....

     

    I am just talking about overall.....Cam.....hurt.....Dog Killer....always hurt.....Thad Lewis tryed to be a runner and almost got his body broke doing it.

     

    You can have all the skill in the world.....but if your not on the field it wont matter...I would like to see a QB that the THREAT of him taking off actually slows down a pass rush because they are trying to contain him......and then having the ability to make those throws from the pocket for taking that approach on defense.

    OK, not trying to hate here, I don't know if he can play the way Wilson does but, the little guys IE Flute, Wilson, Tarkington, don't seem to get hurt as much as the taller awkward QB's.

  4. One was the hit placed upon Trent Edwards by Adrian Wilson, the safety from the Arizona Cardinals. Our team was 4-0 and looking pretty good. Edwards was not great, but he was good enough to get them to that game undefeated for the first 4-0 record in years. On one of the first plays of the game, Wilson came through and knocked Edwards into the future. He was never the same.

     

    He never got it back.

     

    Last year the play that ruined the season of EJ Manuel was the pick six by JJ Watt. Prior to that play, EJ was good but not great, and was progressing like one might expect from the 16th pick in the previous draft.....not a franchise quarterback, but one who needs a couple years to get up to speed. We were ready to score against the Texans, and he threw that pass that Watt, well, you saw it.

     

    He was not the only player to be made to look foolish by JJ Watt.

     

    As a result, Saint Doug took it upon himself to declare that EJ Manuel is no longer the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills. One play changed everything.

     

    The difference is that Edwards was actually injured on the play, and perhaps that injury led to his long-term mediocrity. EJ Manuel made a mistake. People make them in games. All quarterbacks make mistakes. The way to measure the quality of a leader is to look at how he responds after he gets back up. EJ never was given that chance.

     

    Since he was not hurt, I think that he paid an unfair price for making a bad throw to the best defensive player in the NFL. Next time he won't make that throw, and the Bills go on to win the game.

     

    This is not an EJ thread. It's a thread about redemption. One guy's malady was physical. The other guy got beat by a great player. Maybe he should have not endured such a consequence.

    Actually Trent played great the week after beating Philip Rivers and SD in Buffalo, I had Direct TV (I live in So. Cal.) and a kids balloon hit a transformer and we missed half the game. Only in Buffalo.

  5. I saw Sammy in collage take bubble screens and run over and through DB's. Not one called for him this year, I'll give the staff the benefit of the doubt and say they were protecting his ribs (I wish they would have thought of that in the preseason Pittsburg game).
