Bangarang Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 No surprise there. Kolb, however, is the 3rd string/emergency QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Not surprised about Kolb since he missed most of the week. But yeah EJ probably has it locked. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The real question is this; is EJ Manuel exempt from the rookie hazing haircut? I certainly hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrags Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Saw this as well via text. Agree with Sudzy and PTR. EJs job to lose at this point now. With a strong night he could really plant himself. Also, with a very good showing by Tuel, Kolb could find himself unemployed. I don't think it'll happen just yet, but if the play continues it might.

We will see some good things out of EJ and some rookie stuff i bet. I do not think he is as polished as Luck was last year, but he has just as high cieling. As far as Kolb, i do not think you can go into the season with out a vet. To me he would be a great insurance policy if something happened to EJ.

biglukes Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) As pumped as I am for the game, this whole preseason game on a Sunday thing is just totally throwing me off. Edited August 10, 2013 by biglukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Well EJ is the starter now. You can't go backwards now. All in here we go, the future of the franchise. Will he be the guy to turn this team around? (Half joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Didn't the Redskins go into last season with two rookies? Not saying it works all the time, but if the Bills feel they are better than Kolb, then maybe having a vet is overrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't think Tuel has some potential, but Cousins was definitely more ready to step in should he be needed than Tuel is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But agreed, I don't see tuel as a legit backup, and I still think he will end up on the ps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I'm not predicting anything other than them keeping the best two QBs for their final squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am anxious for this. However, was hoping that Kolb would be starting at least the first few games. I do not want to put EJ to the fire before he is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
