    Example of why we should not throw in the towel on Manuel... yet.

    Yeah, we all do and it sucks. Ej has a ways to go but if the D holds the leads against CLE, ATL, and NE, does that change the way we think about him?

     

    Let's face it. Americans don't have patience in general. Every thing has to be instant. One of the things I loved about sports was seeing growth throughout a season. I used to win Most Improved Player (means I sucked and then got good). It's rewarding to see hard work play off. Everything we have heard about EJ is he is a great kid. Would there be anything better than EJ leading us to the playoffs next year and bumping the EJ is a bust threads? :nana:

     

    I know...his health was a major concern!

     

    Hey enjoy the new year man!

    Your post is filled with lies.

     

    1) It would be easier for a guy to sit for a year rather than play as rookie (after missing 2 weeks of his first NFL training camp).

     

    2) Brees threw 28 tds, 31 ints, averaged about 6 ypa and went 2-9 his 2nd year as a starter.

     

    3) You are just hating on EJ if you say he showed no flashes. The Carolina game. The Jets in a wind storm. Twice leading the Bills on game winning drives before fumbles against ATL. Playing nearly perfect after a terrible 1st quarter in Jax. Outplaying Brady and leaving the field with a lead against NE. Helping beat the defending SB champs.

     

    Yeah, Manuel showed nothing all year. :thumbsup:

     

     

     

    EJ, Marrone, Whaley, Kiko, Woods, etc. have been here for one year. It has sucked to be a Bills fan. But putting all the blame on guys who weren't even born during the Bills' SB years is misguided.

     

    Also lack of patience is the reason most fans can't be GMs. Too emotional. Everything is the worst or the best. Players need to develop. It doesn't happen overnight. The key is to know when to cut the cord. A year is hardly the time though.

     

    I agree with you. Its not that I'm putting blame on anyone...I just feel our patience has grown soo thin that we are unwilling to give players patience. Its just a bad feeling all in all. I really want to see EJ succeed, he's a damn good kid!

     

    In the end I just wanna win!!!

    Honestly....us fans are in dire needs of a winning organization, that we have zero patience to wait and see if our rookie QB is the guy or not!

     

    Fact is...we do have enough talent to win, but we are being anchored down by the growing pains of a rookie QB. My fear is that when and if he gets it.. our main core of solid players won't be here anymore.

     

    But as a whole this teams hands were tied last year. I mean if they kept Fitz they lose many fans. I think our front office panicked and took a QB.

     

    I wish they would've just kept fitz one more year then snag a QB this 2014 draft. Cause I do think its a better draft for QBs then last years...by far!

    For the couple of easy calls that get blown any given each week, the refs really get a lot of really tough ones right. That was a nice spot on the rivers run for instance and had a lot of moving pieces/factors to track to get it right

     

    Yea they really do! Its not an easy job by any means! I once did a ref job for a peewee game...it was brutal. 7/8 year olds. Every play kids were holding/tackling..late hits..ect...I mean parents were irrate with me not calling holding every play...I literally stopped the game pulled both coaches together said control your parents these kids are 7/8 year olds...I said when the game ends these kids won't care they will be playing on the playground.

     

    So I can't imagine the pressure these NFL refs go through!

    I'm not intending this to be a shot at you at all; I hate the idea of trading down. IMO, the team is picking in the top 10 for a reason, so take a top 10 talent. If there's one thing that this team needs, it's top-tier talent.

     

    I didn't want the team to trade down last year, and I'm glad it worked out...I don't like counting on everyone else passing on the guy I want after he's already fallen to me.

     

    Well...honestly, I'm no expert on college ball. I mean I watch it, but I couldn't tell you who's good and what not. I've never done a mock draft.

     

    Here's how I look at it...yes the Bills are in the top 10. But what if they had 2 first round talent players on the team. 2 is better then 1 or none. I guess I like the odds of having 2 good players for the team.

     

    I mean heck..if they can draft like last year...look out!!

     

    So is be all for having a couple picks in the first round!

    I agree with that partially. The mistake was being set on taking a QB in the first round when they could have taken one later. I really liked Glennon last year and if they did wait to take one in another round they wouldn't be so locked in to EJ this year

     

    Yea I agree. I guess what I was trying to say is that the QB situation in this year's draft is better...
