  1. What I love what EJ brings to the table is that he throws a beautiful deep ball. That is what this team needs! Everyone knows we are going to run the ball, and stopping the run will be the opposing teams priority. With the speed and playmaking of Sammy, Woods, Harvin, Clay, Goodwin, Deonte- we need a QB that can take the top off, and make teams respect the big play. Which in turn, opens up the running game. Power football, with big shots taken repeatedly suits this offense.

    We need more then just good deep balls.......we need throws thrown with anticipation and a qb willing to scramble for a first down when needed

     

    That first year.....I thought that was EJ (before the coaches messed him up)

     

    but

     

    I just have this feeling I KNOW this is Tyrod Taylor

     

    I really wonder if this might end up pushing Cassell to 3rd strong QB when this is all said and done.

  2.  

    Weren't they out for the Cleveland game too? And Tyrod was still able to put some things together. However he couldn't finish his drives, let's see if EJ can bring one home for a TD

    That is a good point in this

     

    Can EJ do what Tyrod did.....which was take backups and make them productive against 1st stringers.........

  3. I think with Dareus we had a chance, without his presence in the middle stopping the run and putting pressure on Luck, Im not seeing it. Him being out was huge loss for this contest

    I felt much better about this after they signed Red Bryant......who is a starting caliber DT

  4. Our problem is that the most consistent was Cassel, the most accurate was Cassel, the oldest is Cassel; the best QBR is Manuel, the most TDs is Manuel, the most dangerous is Tyrod, and the one Rex and fans like is Tyrod.

     

    Yes, the Goodwin pass was right on the money.

    The only bad thing is the Turk rolls through on my wife's birthday.

    Trying to get one of them to change dates.

     

    My guess as to what happens:

    QB- (3) Taylor starts Game 1 vs Colts, also keep Manuel, Cassel (Simms PS)

    RB/FB (5) McCoy, Jackson, Felton, Dixon, Karlos W. (Brown traded/cut) Unless Karlos goes to NFI or PUP

    TE: (5) Clay, Gragg, Gray, Mulligan, OLeary

    WR (6) Watkins, Woods, Harvin, Deonte Thompson, Easley, Thigpen (Andre Davis, Dez Lewis PS; Hogan Traded/Cut)

    LBs (6) Bradham, Brown, Lawson, Randell Johnson, Tony Steward (ILB/Mike), IK Enemkpali (Edge), ( Ladler PS)

    CB/S (10) Gilmore, Robey, Darby, Brooks, Butler, A. Williams, D. Williams, Graham, Rambo (Meeks or Cockrell Cut)

    O Line (7) Wood, Incognito, Miller, Henderson, Kouandjio, Urbik, Glenn. (Chandler PS, Richardson Cut)

    D Line (7) M. Williams, Kyle Williams, Jerry Hughes, Dareus, Alex Carrington, Red Bryant, Stefan Charles (Reed PS)

    Specialists: (3) Sanborn, Carpenter, Schmidt

     

    McKelvin PUP List

     

     

    PS:

    1. Cierre Wood RB

    2. Gaines LB

    3. Noel CB

    4. Andrew Hudson DE

    5. Ladler S

    6. Justin Hamilton DT

    7. Simms QB

    8. Andre Davis WR

    9. Dez Lewis WR

    10. O'Leary TE

     

    Cuts: Bronson Hill RB, Ricky Seale RB, Lankster CB, Groves LB, Buchanan DE, Kupper OG/OC, Campbell OG, Richardson OG, BJ Larsen DE, Fluellen DT, Tobais Palmer WR, Willis Austin WR

    I think O'Leary goes to practic squad and we keep Thigpen

  5. I still have this feeling that the bills look at EJ Manuel as their developmental player and that is why they are keeping 3.......

     

    Cassell is a vet and Tyrod has more years in the NFL......so they are going with those two this year.........but I really think that if EJ can continue his progression (and say what you want....EJ HAS gotten better) that he might be in serious consideration next year.

  6. Please note: this thread was not started in snark.

     

    I am genuinely appreciative of the substantive feedback that was provided.

     

    If I knew how--or if I had permission--I'd go ahead and close this thread. Nothing left to see. You guys are great.

    I think its a good questions actually

     

    I think he went through a rough patch.......and frankly we got lucky
