CountDorkula Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) call me crazy but i would take Alex Smith or Carson Palmer over EJ any day of the week. Palmer is older so maybe not long term, but if we had 1 game to win I would take either of those guys Not fair to compare. Lets take Rookie Alex Smith V Rookie CArson PAlmer V Rookie Ej: Alex Smith - 1 TD 11 INTs 875 yds (9 games) 40.8 rtg Carson Palmer - 18 TDs 18 INTs 2,897 yds (16 games) 77.3 Rtg EJ Manuel - 11 TDs 9 INTs 1,972 yds (10 Games) 77.7 Rtg Edited August 5, 2014 by CountDorkula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountDorkula Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Except the article is about the 7 worst QBs in 2014. I get that. But people are saying that Manuel is nowhere near what Smith and Palmer are. It is not fair to compare as Smith and Palmer and their careers to EJ who has played in 10 games. I just showed what each QB did in their first year as kind of a guide. I forgot about bad Alex Smith was early on. He was bad for his first 5+ years.

It is asinine of the writer though to think that you would be better of with EJ Manuel in 2014 than Alex Smith. At this particular juncture those players are not even close.

I still think he omitted last year's rookies because they can't really be ranked yet with one season against QBs with several years of a sample size. I see he also omitted Hoyer, perhaps since he only played 2 games. Edited August 5, 2014 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 according to this article... kinda hopeful, kinda humorous http://wallstcheatsh...=viewall&ref=OB Well? Are things coming around for us? He started to lose me at the picture of Drew Brees that started the thing off. He lost me for good at "Stafford gets a pass by sheer virtue of his rocket arm" Fan piece by a guy whose knowledge of football is as shallow as a bird bath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
run dat back Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Forget about EJ what about Geno Smith? I read something - I forget what and where - talking about the Jets beginning to think they still need a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
