major Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm excited Thad is playing this week. He is way more exciting to watch compared to Manuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 All of this blame for QBs and coaches is ridiculous. Can no one else see how miserably the offensive line is playing? The Bills have allowed 43 sacks so far this year. Only 3 teams have more(Miami, Jacksonville and the Jets). We have 2 top tier running backs who struggle mightily to find running lanes. We all ready have a lot of talent on offense but the foundation of that offense was never completed. Build up the trenches and we will suddenly see the offense clicking. I like Glenn and Woods, but the rest of the OL is incredibly weak. I really think EJ and Thad can be real good if they are not continuously running for their lives. Fortunately, they both have some wheels, but that is no way to run an offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Bills proceed Thursday with Lewis at the controls By Joe Buscaglia JoeB@wgr550.com Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- One day removed from the Buffalo Bills revealing the news that they'd be without starting quarterback EJ Manuel, the team hit the practice field without their rookie signal caller. Manuel injured his left knee against Jacksonville last Sunday and will miss the upcoming contest against Miami. That means backup Thad Lewis will get his fourth start of the season, and he took the first-team repetitions during Thursday's practice. A native of the Miami area, Lewis will make his second start against the Dolphins this season. "You never think that you’re going to be able to play against your hometown team twice, at least in the same season, let alone being the backup, you never know when your next start is going to come," he said. "You’re just kind of sitting in a waiting game." Earlier in the season when Lewis got his first opportunity to start due to Manuel's previous knee injury, he was still a relative newcomer to the team and the offense. Now with an extra two months of seasoning, the backup feels fully equipped heading into the contest with the Dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Don't know his stats in college compared to Wilson's. Seems like he has a similar skill set. Hahahahahahaha oh thanks.

Dear god it looks like the Black Friday opening at Walmart, the QB being the $10 plasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I hate political correctness, but I do have a somewhat PC observation: Why is it that everyone always compares black quarterbacks to other black quarterbacks and not white ones? Why can't Thad Lewis be our Mark Brunnell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelouie Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It's like comparing a Lincoln to a Yugo. No comparison. Russell Wilson is a franchise QB. Thad is equivalent to a 3rd string emergency QB. He's not even a good back up QB. Levitre is gone. The offensive line now stinks beyond stank! They couldn't block me.

VADC Bills Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 no...but he might make a nice #3. EJ is our #2 and we are still searching for a #1. Totally agree. Let's hope the Bills front office doesn't take 3 years to realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Don't know his stats in college compared to Wilson's. Seems like he has a similar skill set. No. TL is short. Any similarity to Wilson ends there. R Wilson had every trait teams would want in their potential franchise QB. The ONLY thing he lacked was ideal size, and that was enough to push him out of the early rounds. Don't recall any draftniks talking about T Lewis. He has plenty of other flaws besides lacking ideal size. He really isn't even good enough to be the backup on this team. Bills should look to add a vet (Kolb will retire) or a mid round pick to be the backup to EJM for 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why can't Thad Lewis be our Mark Brunnell? People are stupid when it comes to that stuff.Those convinced that EJM will not be a good QB will reference Akili Smith or some other failed draft pick who happens to be black. The odds of Lewis being a Brunell or a Warner are very long. It doesn't mean it can't happen. Everyone wants to bring up the Warners, Romo's and Brady's, but these guys are the exceptions to the rule. That is what makes them noteworthy. EJM may or may not pan out, but is statistically more likely to succeed than an UDFA. Amen. 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. This is an incredibly idiotic take. You are either good or you're not. That's it. Big Ben would have done just fine if the Bills had managed to land him, as would many others. NFL history isn't exactly littered with former Bills QB's that excelled elsewhere after they escaped from the grasp of the dreaded Buffalo franchise. The Bills have just drafted the wrong player, not drafted others, and made poor trades. To think that Aaron Rodgers would be some shmuck if drafted by the Bills is insanely simplistic drivel.
