Bufcomments Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 if he can not fumble the ball as much. But he has taken some brutal hits. He is a young guy without to much experience. But he does have something about him that i like, he does throw a nice deep ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybee Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 He is a much better player than the usual nega-trons on this chat board will give him credit for. He needs to protect the football better. Yes. Thats coachable. Other than that he looks to me like he has potential. Oh hell yea I like Thad a lot as our back-up. DC Toms comment above as funny as it is actually has some truth to it. Russel Wilson is surrounded by a MUCH better cast of characters than Thad, EJ or Jeff. Who knows what Russel would do if he were our guy. I dont think he'd be as successful here as he has been there so far. We dont have the supporting cast....YET. Frankly I think at this point of their careers, Thad gives us as good (if not better) chances than EJ of placing loss # 2 on Miami Sunday. Go Bills.

Just sayin, Miami fans seem more worried about Thad than EJ. Even Thad himself said he had little grasp of the offense in that first start. Now he does. We'll see.

I think your memory of Thad's performance in Miami is failing.....He was less than impressive to put it mildly.

DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I was thinking more like, can Thad be our Fitzpatrick. Russell Wilson comparison is ridiculous. If Thad performs well and we don't draft a QB next year, I wouldn't mind Thad taking over the helm, much like how our backup Fitz became our starter. I think your memory of Thad's performance in Miami is failing.....He was less than impressive to put it mildly. The defense was largely responsible for that win with the biggest play being Mario's strip/sack. The defense was largely responsible for ALL of our wins this year.

I think Thad shows promise as a back-up. You dont. Fine. I'm OK with that. Off topic: He, just like EJ is an easy guy to root (route? whatever) for. Humble, and seems like a helluva nice kid. Smart too, just like our starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense was largely responsible for that win with the biggest play being Mario's strip/sack. Agreed, but Seattle's defense is largely responsible for several wins too. You gotta have a decent D to win any games. I think what's intriguing is Thad saying he took unnecessary hits and missed his Hot receivers in that game due to not knowing the offense well. He said he knows it now and I'm looking forward to seeing the dude play some ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it didnt work. LOL! S'all good man. I hope come Monday we can argue and be "defensive" that they should have won by 30...not 20 points. That would be fantastic!

John from Riverside Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 See....I dont really know how to respond to this because - I actually really Like Thad Lewis.....and I think he would make a fine backup QB and someone i would depend on when needed but - I also still like EJ Manuel very much...and feel he is going to be the starter for years to come Can I like both players?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Absolutely. All he needs to do is: 1) Stop taking 5 sacks a game 2) Stop fumbling the ball 3 times a game 3) Improve on his 2.5 ypc rushing average 4) Develop an ability to read defenses.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Do think Marrone is half the coach Pete Carrol is? I do not. If he was EJ could be probably as good as Wilson. Look no further then your coaches. The Bills have terrible Offensive coaching, thus terrible offense. Say what you want, i have been calling Hackett brutal since the second game. The writing was on the wall. He is in over his head and so is Marrone. The best thing we can hope for is Marrone resigns. A new GOOD coach comes in and works well with EJ. I have noclue why i think this could occur. The Bills have not had a good coach in 15 years. Edited December 19, 2013 by atlbillsfan1975 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the difference between Roethlisberger and Losman? Roethlisberger was drafted by the Steelers. The Bills wanted him but he'd be long forgotten like Losman if the Bills had gotten him.

I have noclue why i think this could occur. The Bills have not had a good coach in 15 years. Yup. Pete Carrol really took the league by storm in NFL coaching attempts 1 and 2. I would take Marrone over him any day. EJ as good as Wilson with a different coach? Alrighty then. A QB coach would help though. EJ needs a whole lot of work. Offense has terrible coaching? Maybe..maybe not. I'm certainly not in a position to make that statement. BTW, there is another component they refer to as defense. Just so ya know. Marrone resign? Who do we replace him with? The weather man ? Give him time. He's gonna be a good coach you watch. Sorry man, but dont just walk out in the front yard and die. This is reality football, not that fantasy bologne. Look at what Carolina has done. Yea...3 years it took but they are solid. As we will be. Two more years man. Two more years. We're gonna be OK. In fact I would nominate Rivera as a coach of the year candidate. He's done a nice job down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 This thread started out nuts and only got nuttier! There is no question in my mind that if Wilson was in his second year on this team, there is no way we would only have 5 wins. There is no QB on our team who has looked anything like Wilson--either in college or the NFL---ever! The Seahawks were a back to back 7-9 team before Wilson showed up. Marrone over Carroll??
