    Does EJ have the guts of an NFL QB?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by smuvtalker

    To Dirtbag and Big Cat when I say that EJ was served a slice of humble pie, it was not me saying that EJ was "cocky". I agree that he is a very likeable, humble guy. I just meant that by being benched for the first time in his pro career was a serving of humble pie. Again, making him the 16th player taken off the board, handing him the job on a silver platter, and never having to really compete for the position might have given him the impression that he really didn't have anything to compete for.

    The jury is still deliberating on that one. I personally, do think that he can be successful one day, and at the very least am willing to give him ONE full season to see if he really can be our guy. I think him getting benched could end up being one of the best things to happen to him, since coming here from day one he was given the job on a silver platter and told, "you're our guy". He never really had to fight for the job. Now that he's been served a slice of humble pie, I'm actually excited to see what will happen when he's finally handed the ball again. I liked hearing him say that the next time he's out there, he's going to just let it rip more, and play looser, so we shall see.

    Anyone see the Saints fan steal the ball from a woman?

    I agree with Shrader 100%. We saw 5 seconds of video, and people are throwing out racist comments, saying the guy is "the scum of the earth". Really people?? If she really was being an ass herself and giving Saints fans crap for half the game, as a Saints fan, would you be so quick to hand her a ball? I agree 100 percent the guy is a complete douche. Jerk, a-hole even. But saying he's the scum of the earth, throwing out racist comments, saying he should be beaten, his tickets should be revoked is way overboard. It was a d!ck move on his part, and I'll bet today he probably has a bit more remorse than he did yesterday.

    Orton's accuracy

    I couldn't agree with you more Alpha. Orton was absolutely piss-poor tonight, and played very EJ Manuel-esque. They always say you can't pin a loss solely on one player, but I'll be damn if he doesn't deserve a lion's share of blame for tonight.

     

    Was it just me, or were the receivers' body language tonight eerily similar to back when EJ was badly over/underthrowing/missing them?

    I've watched (give or take)

    The Bills came out, on primetime television, and showed the country exactly who they are. They gave all the "experts" all the more reason to continue dumping on us. And tonight, aside from the suspect officiating, Kyle Orton was very EJ Manuel-esque. I was thoroughly un-impressed with his performance tonight.

     

    15 years and counting with no playoffs.

    I was able to let go well over 15 years ago. My mood was a direct reflection of the Bills game that Sunday. When they lost, I wouldn't speak to people, I refused to turn to ESPN, watch any NFL highlight shows, the works. I remember once hanging up on a girl I was dating back in 2003 because she couldn't understand how I could let a football team ruin my mood. I didn't speak to my college roommate in 99 for two weeks because he laughed during the Music City Miracle kick return.

     

    I've become numb to Bills losses now. I at times even am able to find humor in some losses, when Buffalo finds a whole new amazing way to lose a game.

     

    Today was no different. I'm just kinda numb. A little ticked at the suspect officiating(whoever it was in the gameday thread who said Walt Coleman hates the Bills might really be on to something), but just still overall numb and non-chalant.

     

    No playoffs 15 years now....

    Week 5: Who should be the starting QB?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    I too am sick of seeing EJ consistently checking down to a three yard pass, then consistently missing wide open receivers when he does attempt a pass longer than 10 yards, or getting his receivers obliterated by leading them into vicious hits. My first impulse in responding to this poll was to say start EJ, and my reasoning is this. The Detroit game is going to be very tough. I have dreams of Suh crashing through the line and just destroying EJ on multiple occasions. Detroit is a tough team, and I have the game penciled as a loss for us. I want Orton to get a shot, but I was thinking after the next two games. Let EJ get the Detroit game, he has had better time to prepare, and then give him one last home game vs the Pats. If he has shown no improvement on his accuracy, or a willingness to throw the ball more than 10 yards down the field, yank him and get Orton in there. As much as I have hope that EJ can improve, I just don't see it happening.

     

    With that said, even though I voted for EJ starting the next game, I would not be the least bit upset if Orton is starting Sunday.

    I think Zach Mettenberger needs to be in consideration. He has all the physical tools, moreso than both Manziel or Bortles. He had an injury and limited starts but could be worth a late round flyer.

    With my wife being an LSU alum, I have seen more than my fair share of Mettenberger. I would have to respectfully disagree with him having more physical tools than Manziel OR Bortles, with his arm strength perhaps an upgrade over Bortles. I just never saw anything from Mettenberger that overwhelmed me or greatly impressed me. With that said, I wouldn't be upset with giving up a 6th or 7th rounder on him....

    RIP Ralph Wilson

    Thank you so much Mr. Wilson. Thank you for bringing football to Western New York. Thank you for giving me the one true team I have been loyal to since 6 years old, and will remain until my time on Earth comes to an end. Rest in peace sir, and God bless you and your family. You will be missed, and you will never be forgotten....Let's Go Buffalo!
