Thanks but I will not read it because the answer to FWIW is, not much

Bengals are a better team, but they get Titans on the road. Just a guess, but maybe a game where they get surprised a bit.

They are not going to replace their starting center with a training camp cut a week before the season opener. Be serious. This is about evaluating the last few positions on the roster.

Good for him. It's about time somebody from the inner circle in the NFL called out the Patriots on this mess. The actions of the team, the owner, and the primadona QB have made the situation worse.

Sorry, but any WR taking that hit with his body on top of the ball would have suffered the same result.

If they keep these three I would agree, but Rex has only said he is likely to keep three QB's. He has never said these three. I would not be surprised if Simms was number three. If they get a decent offer for Cassel I think he goes. Maybe they cut him anyway.

When Dareus and McKelvin are added back I think you lose an OT (Johnson) and Carrington. Could keep Thigpen and lose a TE. I think they keep Thopmson over Hogan. They will absolutely have 6 CB's.

I am not expecting much today with all the skill players out. Hoping the offense can at least look efficient if not dymnaicic. I am also hoping all three QBs look to have command. Go "D". 9/6 Bills.

If that is the case, then I certainly hope Rex gets his way.

Now that's funny. Me too. I suspect it would be Manuel. Cassel can not be a difference maker. Taylor could be, but he has never started a real game in the NFL and there will be a big learning curve. Manuel, despite the fact that this is not popular, is the best combination for Roman's offense.

He has a three year contract. The last year is voidable based on playing time in 2015 and 2016. Basically, they have him two years if he pans out and they will need to negotiate a new deal before the end of year 2 to guarantee keeping him.

They are fresh out of bodies at RB until Fred, Bryce, and Boobie are back. Williams could be six weeks. Camp fodder.

Not sure why people are getting on JW for this one. The article seems accurate and fair to me, well reported, without the snide commentary that infects some other's attempts.

l The injury to Hoyer, though terrible, was clearly incidental. The injury to Manuel was just as clearly the result of a deliberate attempt to injure, which was then celebrated.

If you want to draw responses to your posts, you have hit on the mother load with suggesting Tebow belongs on an NFL roster as a QB.

Exactly. There is absolutely no reason to panic over Darby starting at CB. This was his first pro game. Did he get picked on? Of course. I thought he acquitted himself pretty well actually. Rex "feeding him to the wolves" was a great coaching move. He will be fine. I wish McKelvin was in that spot, but panicking and moving graham back is not a good idea at all.

I have stopped taking him seriously. His bias is so apparent that it puts into question any conclusions he makes. Now that I have a chance to see these guys play myself, I will make up my own mind. Thanks anyway, Joe.

I hope not actually. Love to see him play obviously, but there is no need to risk him at this point I the preseason.

I have been reading and hearing the same speculation, but I have not heard that from the coaches who are the only ones who know what is really going on.. People are reading way too much into the supposed pecking order based on the split of snaps this week. I expect EJ will play tonight, albeit with 3rd and 4th stringers primarily. Still important. We will see if Taylor can actually take his practice to a game tonight. Frankly, I think it is logical that he would be the second man up if only because he is the biggest unknown, with the least game experience. The scrimmages next week will be telling as well. I think this could still go any way. I am really still hoping that either Taylor or Manuel can prove to be a better option than Cassel.

It was no different when they were competitive.

Welcome back ' Rocks? Always a pleasure to talk football with a knowledgeable and reasonable fan of an enemy team such as yourself. As for the upcoming scrimmage and game, I am sure it will get plenty of attention around here after Friday's preseason debut. The Cleveland/Buffalo scrimmage and game are shaping up to be a critical test of exactly who will be trusted to attempt to play QB for the Bills this year. As for Whitner, I expect the Bills fans to treat him exactly like the loudmouth, classless punk he is.

This would not surprise me at all. Smith is a knucklehead. (no pun intended) Fitz will be 10x the leader at the QB position than Smith was capable of being. Unfortunately for the Jets, that comes with a noodle arm and occasional head scratching decision making with the ball.

This is a bogus interpretation I think. Other reports have indicated Manuel got his fair share of reps with the ones today, although a few less than Taylor. Yesterday the situation was reversed. The only real conclusion based on the last few days is that Cassel will start on Friday, which of course Rex has already told us. Beyond that, there is no conclusion to be reached in my opinion.

I do not believe you. No better than Orton or Cassel and certainly no upside. He has always had a few good games, a nice streak here and there, but in the end, he always come back to level, which is mediocre.
