The Voice of Truth

Orton's quote on buffalobills.com: "This was the right team for me" - Translation: "This team has the weakest QB situation in the league. I'm going to get starts here." Not a chance. I would LOVE for the Bills to win and for EJ to bust out and be our future QB. Believe Me! Just living in reality.

C- A cornerback drafted in the top 10 should be considered nearly a shut down corner. He has been nowhere near that.

9.5 I'm taking the over.

Love it! Bring him in.

No problem. I respect that.

Keep it classy File this under "quantity" and not "quality" post. I guess that's how you get to 14,000+ posts.

I'm shocked this hasn't been posted yet. If it has somewhere I didn't see, my bad. I fully am on the same page as him that EJ is a great guy with great leadership. He just has not shown he has the skills on the field. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11408285/hall-famer-jim-kelly-criticizes-buffalo-bills-quarterbacks

I actually love it. Marrone showing some balls. Hell, this what most of us as fans want to do to the players when they show a lack of dedication. I absolutely love it. Physical camps build tough teams.

One of my biggest concerns about EJ is even Florida State fans don't back him up. They watched him all through college and didn't trust him. It's not ridiculous. It's a serious and valid concern that we likely have still not solved this perpetual QB problem.

If Peyton Were Our QB: Robert Woods would go to the Pro Bowl this year Sammy Watkins would be offensive rookie of the year and probably go to the Pro Bowl Spiller would lead the league in receiving yards for a running back And so on... I really feel for the players on our team that do not reach their potential because of the quarterback. It has to be frustrating. Even for the defense; just knowing that the offense can;t put up points or stay on the field is demoralizing. I'm really starting to doubt EJ (not that I didn't before, but just I feel more secure in my doubt now). I don't really see him turning into the franchise QB we all crave. And if he doesn't, we'll keep losing and lots of players will not get near their potential. Just sucks.

Laughable. He'll get more.

I'll believe the success when I see it. I love EJ but we'll see. All these stories mean nothing. Results on the field are what matter. When we see those, we can start celebrating EJ.

It's all up to EJ. Manning would throw for over 5,000 yards with this team. We have plenty of weapons. It's about running the offense well. Firstly it's about getting into the right play and the right protection based on what you see in the defense. Then it's about making the right read once the ball is snapped. Then it's about delivering the ball effectively. If all these things happen, all of our offensive weapons will flourish. It's a tall order though.

Definitely should have kept Byrd. I don't care if we thought we had to overpay. If we drafted and retained talent we whould have Whitner and Byrd. Maybe put whitner at strong safety. As always though, our future rides on the QB. We go as EJ goes and I'm not too confident about that. I think he has potential but we're basically betting our future on a guy some teams had a 4th round grade on and who has had surgery on both knees I believe. Not exactly a sure thing.

I guess if the Spikes mold is what fits our scheme. I like a sideline to sideline guy though. Also with the emergence of the tight end, you need cover guys. I guess you can't expect too much in the third though.

Underwhelming to me. Slow. Not a good cover linebacker. We'll see though.

Hahaha. Yeah I did forget actually. Hope it works out but like you said, he wasn't exactly a top performer. I still wouldn't mind a guard pickup in the 3rd.

Wasn't left guard constantly a problem last year? How are we going to address that? I hope value meets need at pick 73 and we get a guard.

Hahaha Just heard this on ESPN after the Pats took Garoppolo. Certainly would change things.

No problem.

The Texans just drafted a guard in the 2nd round of the draft. In other words, they did not address the QB position with their first two picks. This means that they have Fitz and Case Keenum on the roster. Fitz is listed first on the depth chart on the Texans website. It seems likely he will come into the season as the starter. It will at least be a bit interesting to keep an eye on during the season.

Wow, a lot of negativity about this on here. I'm usually not a fan of trading up, but at least their showing some balls and aggressiveness. The success of this move will depend on EJ.

Stay at #9. Take Ebron.

I totally agree with the OP. I would be very pleased if we drafted him.

Until EJ proves he can consistently deliver the ball, it doesn't matter who our receivers are. We could have a lineup of Watkins, Stevie, Woods, Williams and Goodwin, but if EJ doesn't prove he is at least a good NFL passer, we'll just end up a team with a bunch of frustrated receivers and a below average offense.
