1880-1947 or so.

Maybe 50-50 that he can be a decent serviceable QB that can, with the right tools, manage this team to the playoffs. 25% confidence that he will be a top-10 QB in the league. 3% confidence that he will be a top-10 all time QB like Manning or Brady who can carry a bad team no matter the talent around him. This is not a slam against EJ!!! I like him a lot, and desperately want him to be the next Joe Montana, but will need to see marked improvement before my confidence goes higher!

EJ can make a 7 yard slant?! News to me. (just kidding just kidding stirring the pot)

Actually to be fair, TALENT is the BIGGEST problem of them all... Effort is definitely a close second.

One playoff game. I don't even care if we lose it.

Is this thread for real?

6 rec, 107 yds and 2 TDs Not bad for his first NFL start.

Yeah but he doesn't run after the fumbled ball so he must be no good!!!! /sarcasm

Yeah you know if the refs hadn't missed two calls, Stevie wouldn't have had to fumble because we kneel down.

Agreed. There would have never been a fumble situation because the refs gave the Falcons a free TD minutes prior.

Did you watch the game?

Sup?

This. it was obvious where the ball was going.

Gilmore injured. Maybe a blessing in disguise.

KM: [Laughs] Man … that would be a miracle. But I've seen it. I thought Steve [Means] was going to get picked by the Bills, for sure. And then you have Naaman, who went to the Bills as an undrafted free agent. I've seen it. It would be a lot of fun and definitely a blessing.

http://nickelcitybills.com/ great website too.

It wouldn't surprise me if 2 or 3 of those 5 are yes, phenomenally better rookies than EJ. This is a good QB draft class.

Amazing. Depressing.

A sick and twisted part of me wants to see him tear it up if only to reinforce my own disbelief in the Bill's FO judgement. It's the same sick and twisted part of me that morbidly wishes to see Geno Smith throw the game winning TD to David Nelson. I think I'm just a bad person.

Am I wrong? I mean, surely Hackett has heard of a screen play. But for some reason it is almost as if he has never watched the Chan offense game tape. Does he not understand how to gameplan for two dual threat RBs that benefit from running in space, not to mention a subpar QB who can't sling the ball around to save his life? Seriously, we have run a screen play concept under 10 times this season.

because he has never heard of that concept.

Born in WNY. Father a Bills fan. It's that simple really. Under no other circumstances would I ever choose to be a fan of this franchise, but I was born into it --- and that's how I assume most of us are.

Analytics hard at work.

Our DL has the tendency to play down to their opponents level, unfortunately! Hopefully they bring their game.

This. I'm mostly concerned with everyone's optimism that EJ will lead us to salvation. Yes he was better than Thad with a lot of room to grow, but what if he doesn't improve? What if he just spins his wheels and we're no better off than we were before? If EJ is not our franchise QB, and we don't draft one in 2014, this will be a long 3 years. edit: I should note that I'm not trying to be pessimistic, I like EJ and hope he bring it.
