Thisistheyear Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Buddy's bro hug needs work. He had the "Did I just get violated?" look on his face. Absolutely hilarious. He hasn't even suited up for the Bills yet and I already love him. Either he's the worlds best actor or the most genuinely likable guy this side of Peyton Manning. I hope he actually performs on Sundays - rooting for the Bills would actually be fun again. That's the one word I think when I've seen him in interviews, on Gruden's QB camp and in this piece - Genuine. It has nothing to do with QB play, but I like it.

LynchMob23 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you'd like to hear more from EJ here's part of his post draft interview (that they showed clips of in the original video) - Favorite answer was when someone kept pounding on Buffalo being cold, having snow/etc: "I'll get my shovel." Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 After watching the video I think we made a bad pick !! Stop...Stop...Stop...Stop... Just messin witcha, fellas. Hard not to like this kid....PERIOD. Go Bills !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Loved that. Loved the receptionist too. And loved Werner and EJ jawing about the first preseason game (Indy Buffalo). Second preseason game is Vikes so EJ will get to face Rhodes right after facing Werner. Don't forget Christian Ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Staying with the EJ lovefest, here's a piece featuring former Brown's GM Phil Savage who now runs the Senior Bowl.

GG Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm a big believer in reading body language. You know the comparisons between the top two QBs drafted in 2013 will go on for a while, so here's gangrene's take It's easy to see why there's more excitement among Bills fans.

Punch Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 "EJ Manuel has had many big moments in big games throughout his career.

ganesh Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 That was great. Obviously we all hope he turns out to be a player on the field, and that's pretty much all that matters. Win games, get in the playoffs, go for the Super Bowl and win it. But man, if he succeeds, what a face of the franchise this guy could be. The one takeaway I had from this video is, holy moly, he is HUGE. He dwarfed Kelly and Marrone, who are pretty big guys. +1. I thought the same too. And Hackett looks so tiny "EJ Manuel has had many big moments in big games throughout his career. Yet what will define him for years to come was not a long run, a touchdown, or anything on the field. It was a halftime speech." Awesome media clip. I think this guy is special. So many traits that you don't see in a single person. Now can he QB the floundering Buffalo Bills to a championship? I am feeling good about the chances ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zona Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 just watched the video. Gotta agree with everyone else. I love the secretary, she is a doll. I love the way EJ handles himself. He comes across as intelligent, likable, honest, and as a leader. Oh, and he is friggin huge! I love that. And I like the sports science video as well. Thanks whomever posted that... I hope he is the One. Maybe we should call him NEO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I echo the sentiments on EJ. I wanted to know if anyone else caught the possible "outing" of TBD's very own (and recently off the grid) NGU? Read the text on the picture of Bruce Smith that Manuel is standing next to and pay attention to the last line. Could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not sure if this was shown on here but Whaley talking about EJ: Great insight. EJ3 does have the "it" factor...likeable from the start and has the tools. Can't wait for this season to start. Perhaps Whaley had more to say about this decision than we thought.
