Bryce Paup Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I apologize from the bottom of my heart because you are a rookie and you're still learning how to play QB in the NFL. I have to realize that this is a rebuilding year and I'll have to have patience and deal with any growing pains. Btw Geno Smith put up Jeff Tuel Like numbers up yesterday lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's an insult to Tuel. Seriously. Tuel was much more impressive in his only start. Even his interceptions were were more spectacular. Geno throws very average, run of the mill pick 6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Paup Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 That's an insult to Tuel. Seriously. The reason why I said that about Geno putting up Tuel numbers is when Tuel put up those numbers we wrote him off .. EJ had the bad game and people including me wrote him off.. I just apologized for doing just that.. Geno's performance is only gonna add the same comments we all had about Tuel that's all just with Jets fans now Tuel was much more impressive in his only start. Even his interceptions were were more spectacular. Geno throws very average, run of the mill pick 6s. Tuel's numbers were similar in regards to the Browns game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno's performance is only gonna add the same comments we all had about Tuel that's all just with Jets fans now I am not sure I completely follow. What I do know is that Geno made Tuel look like a hall of famer. Geno Smith was 8/23 for 103 yards; 0 TD's; 3 INT's; 1 fumble; 3 sacks Tuel was 18/39 for 229 yards; 1 TD; 2 INT's; 0 fumbles; 0 sacks.

OCinBuffalo Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hey give this guy some credit. At least he has the stones to be accountable. Now, had he paid attention to my avatar, most of this could have been avoided. Well, we live and we learn. However, in the end, he's doing the right thing. Now, what about the other 30+ posters here who've been saying the same, or worse? Well, you have a whole thread now, just for this purpose, don't you?

dezertbill Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Newsflash.... EJ may have another bad game or two this season. If that happens, do not run to the Peace Bridge! He's no different a QB that game than he was Sunday vs the Jets. Same player. He's prone to mistakes. Hell learn and grow. That's what rookies do. I was really uplifted by his effort yesterday after a very rusty start vs Steelers. Hopefully a clean bill of health the rest of the season will lesson his learning curve.

Flutie Flakes Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 EJ had a terrible game in Pittsburgh, but his receivers didn't do him any favors either. There were several throws that he made that should have been caught. Plenty of blame to go around in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I wasn't down on EJ in the Pittsburgh game for a few reasons. 1. He's in his rookie season. 2. He's missed 4 games in a row and it was his first game back (and it was road game). 3. He missed half of training camp because of his injury. 4. Him & Hackett (two rookies) went up against one of the best DC's in the league (LeBeau) who is 18-2 against rookie QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I just dont get the extremes fans go through...... Rookie QB's are gonna have bad games....and they are gonna have good games...... You have to wait till the end of the season before you evaluate him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaenon Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) Thank you. He has played 6 full NFL games. That is it! Edited November 18, 2013 by Kaenon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp2Warlick Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I was never impressed with EJ's play until this last game. I'm hoping he impresses me every game from now on. The last game was an amazing turn around for the young man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onus is on EJ to perform, not on fans to apologize. It is a slippery slope to apologize this week for having told the truth last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What's wrong with calling them week by week as you see them? The onus is on EJ to perform, not on fans to apologize. It is a slippery slope to apologize this week for having told the truth last week If you want to be bipolar and overreactionary on a weekly basis that's your business. I'll continue to evaluate EJ as a somewhat raw rookie who missed half of the preseason, and missed 4 consecutive regular season games before having to re-enter the fray in Pittsburgh against a Dick LeBeau defense (17-3 against rookie QBs). In other words I'll be in that group of people who exercise perspective. But don't let that prevent you from being in that group of people who react first and think later. It takes all types.

MDH Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 What's wrong with calling them week by week as you see them? The onus is on EJ to perform, not on fans to apologize. It is a slippery slope to apologize this week for having told the truth last week It depends what you mean. Are you going to say something like, "this week EJ showed poor footwork and an inability to drive the ball downfield to open WRs" or are you going to say, "he's shown me nothing, he sucks, what a wasted draft pick!" Because I saw very little of the former and quite a bit of the latter. There are a few posters who critique his game without moving into panic territory and I don't think you'll catch any flack for that. It's the posters (and there are more than just a few) who make declarations about his entire future based on a single game that end up look like irrational reactionaries. Don't be that guy.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I MUST OVERREACT TO EVERYTHING! I don't care he's a rookie. I don't care that he missed 2 weeks of training camp. I don't care he missed a month. EJ Manuel is not equal to Peyton, thus, he's a bust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
