Perhaps, but do you really think anyone here is really concerned about dignity? Don't take me to serious. Just having fun here. Surely you can see some humor in this thread?

Nope. Where's the fun in that?

From the media? Now that explains it then :lol:

The media was making a big deal out of which QB was getting the most reps with the ones on offense. The QB that was getting the most reps against the ones has been EJ. Something that everyone has been missing. All through camp, they have been running 2 simultaneous practices and players have been rotating between fields. All the focus has been on which QB is in with the starting offense. Big mistake and quite the curve ball to the media who don't really see the big picture the way the coaches do.

What? EJ did it with 3rd stringers to win the game last week. Sure he can do it with 2nd stringers.

Hahaha! He's been doing that from day one. Where have you been?

I know! Reading the tea leaves is what made me laugh. I have been following Sal too. I just happen to think guys like Sal and Joe B. don't know their arses from a hole in the ground. BTW, no offense was taken. I just have been enjoying all of the back and forth banter. Couldn't leave without throwing in my 2 cents. Rex did say that the preseason games would factor high in his evaluation. But you are right, it is not "problem solved" as you put it. Actually, hearing the comments from Rex, he is clearly pleased with all of the QBs.

:lol:

Rex has said several times that he has not yet picked his man. They have been running 2 simultaneous practices. EJ may actually have more reps....look it up.

That is not true. EJ is getting as many reps as the others.

I think EJ could very well be leading the in the competition for starter at this point. Everyone is so hung up on who is getting 1st team reps but what I have seen on three different occasions during camp, EJ has been taking snaps against the first team defense. He has been playing a lot with the 2nd-3rd team offense and still producing on par with the other 2 QBs. Also, according to PFF, he is also ranked 7th out of all the QBs that have played so far this preseason. Now I am not saying that EJ is a top 10 QB, but I do think he has improved more than what many of us here may be thinking. It is looking to me like Rex has been intentionally putting EJ in the most difficult position. And at the same time Rex has also made it look like EJ is only taking 3rd team reps. Problem is, while EJ is going against the 1st team defense, Cassel and Taylor have been going against 2nd-3rd team defenders. That skews the numbers quite a bit and fools the media into thinking that 1st offense means 1st team QB. When you see EJ in interviews, and on the field, he's smiling and having fun. He does not look the part of a player on the outs. I know many are enamored with the shiny new toy TT, but while I really do like what Taylor has been doing, I just don't see him as a starter. He would be a great package QB. And with all of the wildcat plays that the offense is installing, I think that is exactly what he will do. Taylor has a terrific advantage too because he can actually throw fairly well too. I see a defender spying TT and daring him to run. TT will have to throw more and run less if he wants to stay healthy. Cassel gets rid of the ball fast. He seems to always nibble and almost never takes a big bite out of the defense. I just don't see it with him. I see defenders crowding the box on him. EJ gets the ball down field and forces the defense to cover the whole field. He has enough escape-ability to let his receivers get down field. You cannot crowd the box on EJ because he can go over the top of the D pretty fast. This is what the great QBs in this league do. He isn't polished yet, but he has been getting better. I have been pondering the whole QB competition from this angle for a while now and at least to me it makes perfect sense. Of course, I might just be seeing things. Maybe I need to just put the computer down, turn the TV off and just wait for the season to start. I've actually been think about this since before the conspiracy thread was started. Can't get it out of my head!

Yea, that does sound right. Now I understand what they were saying about him doing his best Andrew Luck impersonation.

A lot of people making a big deal out of who is getting 1st team offense reps. Perhaps they should be more focused on who is getting reps against the 1st team defense. This is 3rd time I have seen EJ taking 3rd team reps against the 1st team defense, while Cassel and Taylor are competing against the backups on D. That Rex is a trickster.

Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 18s18 seconds ago Aaron Williams almost takes out McKelvin on the scooter the last snap of camp. Good reaction by the CB there to swing out of the way.

Sal Capaccio ‏@SalSports 2m2 minutes ago EJ is playing the part of Andrew Luck as scout team QB. And does a great job w/beauty deep ball down sidelines to A Davis. Beat starting D That's 3rd string OL against 1st string D. Hmmm.....

My guess is that the announced starter is going to be a complete shock to everyone.

Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia 18s19 seconds ago Here comes EJ in with the ones

Chris Brown ‏@ChrisBrownBills 36s36 seconds ago Again for what it's worth - Cassel then Taylor w/1st team O vs.scout team 'D'. EJ, Simms w/scout team O vs. 1st team D. #Bills EJ is clearly being put in the most difficult position. Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia 1m1 minute ago EJ got one rep in the current set of team drills, but it was with the third-team offensive line. #Bills

Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 2m2 minutes ago So far in today's practice I have Cassel with 12 first-team reps, Taylor with 10 and Manuel with 1. Rest of EJ's reps with scout team.

Seems to be a lot of that. Half assed reporting.

Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia 23s24 seconds ago Things you don't see often/at all: Kyle Williams getting pancaked. Richie Incognito got him good on a one-on-one rep. #Bills

Yep, might be Goodwin who is the odd man out. Incredible how stacked this WR group is.

That's exactly what I think they were thinking, but now EJ is giving them reason to have second thoughts.

There is a lot that can be said for making plays late in a game when your team is behind. EJ has come from behind to take the lead in 2 consecutive games. That is the very definition of clutch. I like TT, but I have some doubts as I do for each of these QBs. I don't see TT as the clear winner like many here do. EJ still has some work to do, but there is no denying that has been trending up. In fact many here act as if that is not even the case and as if they all ready know what we have in EJ. I get the TT love. Seeing him avoid a sack and take off like a jet is a thing of beauty. What many are missing is an absolute improvement with EJs consistency delivering passes. He is keeping his composure under duress and nailing some beautiful passes. He is also scoring TDs.

I'm really liking that receiver.
