jester43 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 i'll make it really simple for you: EJ: probably not good. he's inaccurate and the game moves to fast for him. Thad: definitely not good...should have put up 4 TDs last week. Anyone who wants Thad to start over EJ, or at all, should probably have his head examined. I don't like him as the back up. EJ should remain the starter but i definitely like the idea of drafting another QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ should remain the starter but i definitely like the idea of drafting another QB. This is kind of where I'm leaning toward. I still believe in EJ ... But not as much as I did early in the season. Still too early to tell, IMO, but drafting another QB wouldn't be stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlelouie Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Both of these guys are so far down the list does it even matter? When I look at the stats it looks like they both stink out loud. Pretty sad isn't it when they are ranked down past 30th. WOW! That is really low. It doesn't give you much hope for the future.

littlelouie Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 The "D" is really coming along and playing well. What a difference a defensive co ordinator can make. Petine is the difference and anyone who understands football can see that. He is reponsable for the improvement. He brought Rex Ryan's scheme with him. Rex isn't a great head coach but he is a great defensive mind. Chan made a huge mistake by hiring the "Stache".. Wannstedt was 20 years behind the times. If Chan had Petine he would still have a job as Bills head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Not sure what this means, but advanced metrics show Lewis and Manuel's performances across the board are nearly identical... If you look at Thad's statistics thru his first x number of starts he has been better than Peyton Manning and Russell Wilson had been at the same point. I'm just saying you gotta' keep an open mind.....and two closed eyes..........and simply give the guy time. QB's only get better with more exposure.....I mean starts. And then when you do....bingo...because 30% of the time it works every time. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelouie Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) Hey K-9 LOL How about "nobody goes to that place because it is too crowded." " a nickel isn't worth a dime anymore". "it gets late early out there". "You should always go to other peoples funerals otherwise they won't come to yours". Or the time someone called Yogi late and apologized for calling late. Yogi told him. "that's alright I had to get up to answer the phone anyway." Edited December 25, 2013 by littlelouie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Fitz above both? But I thought he was the worst QB ever, and ANY QB would be an improvement! I read it right here in this forum! Hopefully EJ improves next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Not sure what this means, but advanced metrics show Lewis and Manuel's performances across the board are nearly identical... Espn's Total QBR has EJ with 42.3 and Lewis with 22.9. Both are stinky numbers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 EJ playing injured without a good LG , with Hackett as a QB coach. He is lucky to be in one piece, ask Kolb. Thad looks fine as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
