    Week 5: Who should be the starting QB?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    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!

    A Few Thoughts About The Game, in no particular order.....

    If he starts and the Bills win with an incredible display of Defense, or by some fluky ST type deal (like a couple return TD's) or Brady is knocked out of the game, then I'd say great job filling in. If he truly plays impressively and the Bills win a shootout with Tom Brady, I would at least pencil him in as my starter for 2014. The bad news is, this will not happen.

    Stranger things have happened....it is possible!!!

     

    Either way though, I believe the job is EJ's even if Thad goes out and throws for 400 yards and 4 td's. One game does not a starter make. (see Rob Johnson)

     

    With that said, I would not be at all surprised to see the Bills go QB with their first pick, if one of the studs is there for the taking....Heck the Redskins did it with RG3 and Cousins, and look how gorgeously that has worked out for them!!
