Absolutely. Also funny how excited everyone got last week after two picks that were relatively easy. His overall coverage vs the browns was not good. He needs time. Gilmore looks great, however. We need Leo.

Can you repost in this thread after the starter is announced please?

I'm on board with this. TT has an x factor that I really want to see in some live NFL action. Ej looks to be progressing and I want to continue to see that. One thing to always consider when judging preseason ... it's preseason. Remember that defenses aren't showing much, mostly cover 2 or cover 3 or man under 2 deep. A big knock on ej has been his ability to read defenses. Not saying he hasn't come closer to figuring it out, but keep in mind when watching preseason.

I bet you're a big hit at parties.

It's not a truck you just dump something on. It's a series of tubes.

The desire to win? Is that why every time he had the ball in his hands with a chance to win it he single handedly lost it? The guy was a lock to throw a game ending interception on a drive that should have been to win the game. He is the anti clutch. He's a nice guy and all, and maybe he wanted to win badly, but that just doesn't get it done I'm afraid. How did Kevin Kolb get brought into this? He never played a snap for the Bills.

You don't (or didn't back then) need mechanics when you're Michael Vick. You have superhuman ability to flick your wrist and throw a football 60 yards on a rope. If that doesn't work, you're the best athlete on the field, and you can just run it into the endzone instead.

Just to contextualize, it seems like most people who are not fans of the Buffalo Bills think EJ Manuel is trash. From the analysts who predicted him as a mid round project who was 50/50 at best to be a decent NFL QB, to other fans who watch when their team plays the Bills, there seems to be a pretty big consensus that this guy just doesn't have the skill set of an NFL quarterback. I'd like to believe the hardcore "just let EJ play (indefinitely) and he will break through (eventually)" crew of Bills fans are right. I hope that's the case. Just pointing out that it's a very, very small minority of people who follow the NFL that feel that way. I see more hope for Geno from people when comparing the two, and that's... not good. But if EJ's the starter... I'll be behind him. He won't be though.

Sarcasm. Fitz is an awful football player and even worse in the clutch when the game is on the line. I would take almost anyone starting over him. And he screams like a girl.

He has all the intangibles. The only minor thing lacking in his all but complete game is the ability to throw a football.

Think how awesome Bills camp would have been... oh well. probably for the best that it wasn't us.

Did PH return punts in college? He should absolutely do it if he can field cleanly. Otherwise, Woody.

Jerry Hughes is still criminally underrated among Bills fans. Last years numbers were not a fluke, and for those watching, Hughes played excellent against the run, as well. So glad we got him locked up. I think we are going to continue to see huge numbers and impact plays from 55 for years to come. It's hard with the big names on that D-line to stand out, but he beats his blocks as good or better than anyone we have. He's one of the few Bills players I can remember that fans of other teams commend more than our own fans do. I think we just have an embarrassment of riches on the D-line, so it can be easy to forget... but I think he's about to emerge as one of consistent best pass rushers in the league.

There will be info leaked well in advance of actual game day vs. Indy on who the starter is. Someone is going to be practicing with the first team offense that week. Rex will tell the the team in advance. I like the idea of keeping it under wraps to mess with them, but it should be fairly well know by game day.

Lot of coaches don't like that uncertainty lingering as the season approaches. It's early for us watching only two games, but the coaches have been watching these guys for weeks on the field plus hours and hours of film. Could be closer to knowing which way he wants to go than we think.

Catch his theory that the reason the Bills sold so many seasons this year was the McCoy trade? Think there were a few more factors there Grud.

I will not surprised if TT is named the starter for week 1 tomorrow.

Gruden: one of my favorite guys out there, Nickel Robey. How do ya like that? A nickel back named nickel. Yeah, would be great gruden except that's not his name.

I'd be nervous running with just those two the way TT runs if he is the starter. But you could be right.

Liking TT to start the year. Gotta carry all 3 QBs though. Too much risk injury.

Nice play Gilmore. Damn Jerry is good. Hungry even in preseason. Can't wait to watch him get after it this year. Pretty easy picks for Darby, but hope that gets his confidence up.

Ray Rice was running poorly before he slugged his wife. Not sure he's even the best option that could be had talent wise at this point. He's a name that comes to mind because he used to be good, but it's possible that coupled with all the time off he's washed up anyways. Doesn't seem worth it with the baggage. But if there are no other options and our entire roster of RBs is hurt...

I think Rex goes cassel. I think you start with the vet and see how far that can take you. If you're 2-5, maybe you consider making the change to tyrod (or could be ej, but I have a hard time seeing that). I think bottom line for Rex is this: he's coaching his first year in buffalo. He is as hungry as anyone to win, and I think he recognizes what getting back to the playoffs will mean to the city and to Pegs. He knows how good this D is, ancient think he's willing to see if cassel can game manage them to the playoffs. If cassel/the team completely bombs and starts losing quite a bit, he makes the change. Or if there's an injury, he can make that change no harm no foul (and by that i mean he avoidsthe media controversy) and get a look at tyrod or ej if that's what he ultimately wants. I dont think Rex is scared to rock the boat, but I also think he's smart enough to realize that cassel is the safe bet to start the year. If things change, he can probably make the change pretty easily and be heralded for it instead of questioned. All that being said, I think Rex cares for his guys and wants to win more than anyone. Whatever move he makes, I feel confident that he is seeing the field, the team chemistry, and the quality of play right now. Based on that, I'm excited that whoever he picks to start the season is a good choice. It's weird how I automatically have more faith in Rex than any coach since wade, and he hasn't even coached a game yet. But I do. And honestly, it's a pretty damn good feeling. Very hopeful right now. Not just that the Bills will get back to the playoffs, but that they are on the cusp of becoming a perennial AFC powerhouse. It's time to take our rightful place back as THE teaming the AFC. I am more hopeful than ever that Rex Ryan is the man to lead us there. Cheers! Go Bills.

Rodney Dangerfield made me laugh hysterically. Ej makes me want to punch myself in the face. I don't see the comparison
