PromoTheRobot Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Remember the good ol' days when we had a QB who could throw for 3,000 yards and 23 TDs? And many of you felt that anybody, ANYBODY would be better and couldn't wait to run that QB out of town? And I said be careful for what you wish for because a QB we draft might not be better than Fitz? So what do you say now?.

ThurmasThoman Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) go back and look at the results from 2012. Â we finished 6-10. Â in 4 of those losses we scored: 28/28/34/31 points. Â fitz with this d might have been enough. not to mention watkins. Â Edit* Â With that being said though, I think the season needs to hurry up and get here. I'm a weirdo: during the offseason, I hate EJ Manuel. It's ridiculous. I'm a loser, straight up. When I was a kid, I used to scour the planet for Buffalo Bills news. i would subscribe to SHOUT! (the official news paper of the Buffalo Bills!) I used to read it cover to cover every month of the offseason, over and over again, until the new issue came in the mail. That was my only insight into the Bills. There was no "Kelly went 6 for 12 in practice today, and overthrew Reed on a deep route." I had no idea. There were interviews with the guys, about who their favorite musician was (Kenny G, for Kelly). Â So now, here I am. A jaded adult with the world at my finger tips every work day, and polarizing opinion after polarizing opinion flying at me from every angle--adapted for easy to consume sound bites. Â "Lebron lost 20 pounds" "Lebron doesnt eat carbs" "Lebron has AIDS" Â That all happened before I had finished my first cup of coffee at work. Â I'm a bitter, jaded sports fan, who feels the need to form dramatic opinions with no sample size to speak of, and parade that around as if the imbeciles around me (who have formed the opposite opinion) are stupid mouth breathers who were lucky enough to not fall down the stairs this morning, and somehow made it to their computers to support EJ Manuel. Idiots. Â The reality of the situation though, is so much more complicated. Maybe EJ will be good, maybe he won't. He looked great in some games last year (Jets), good in others (Carolina), bad in others (Jax), and terrible in others (Pit). Just like you would expect from a rookie. Â The problem is, we're a rabid fan base. We always have been, and we always will be. Our best player ever has cancer. Our second best player ever is OJ Simpson. Go ask 100 random people on the street of a city that isn't Buffalo to play a word association with OJ Simpson, and get back to me on how many say "Hall of fame RB for the Bills." Â We don't just watch football, we sit in constant terror that we will lose our team. Think about that. Damn, sorry Broncos fans, tough super bowl loss. At least Denver will always have a football team though. Â Even when we were good, we weren't good enough. We were always second best, always a joke. Everything about this damn organization is a joke to everyone that isn't a Bills fan. Â I mean... in what other world but the world of the Buffalo Bills could the fear of relocation be realized in the human form... of a freaking 80s glam rocker??? You think cowboys fans are worried that Rod Stewart is going to move the team to Mexico City any time soon and rebrand them the Rio Grande Cowboys? We are so unique in our misery, combined with our passion. Â So when you combine alllllll those factors, we just want to be able to control something. anything. We want to know right now that EJ will be the one that takes us to the super bowl, wins the super bowl, gives us that moment that we have been waiting for forever. And at the end of the day... no one knows. No one thought Russel Wilson would be that guy when he started... or Brady... or Flacco... Â So, right now, in this moment, I am just optimistic for the season. But ill be calling you EJ supporters retards soon enough... likely at halftime week 1, when we're down 17-10 to the bears.

BuffaloBill Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I can't believe we are sinking this low and en spending time on this topic. Fits sucked and EJ has not had enough time to prove anything yet. At least get 8 games into thus season before saying EJ needs to be be replaced with a guy nobody in the league would say is a real starter. Good God.

Oh yeah, with a much superior WR corps too boot! IMHO, never, I don't think EJ is going to be the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougTheBug Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Absolutely I would pick fitzpatrick. He hasnt had a fairshake even with titans. He will have his best season with texans. I say he has over 30 TDS this year. Mark my words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey greco Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 There was no reason to cut Fitzpatrick. It was just a money saving gambit for a team that had room under the cap.  They could have had EJ serve as understudy and Fitz caretaker the position for a couple years. It would have better served Manuel's development. And the  team would have had a better shot at the playoffs this year than they do with EJ as starter.

This is basically your response to being wrong about your unflappable trust in OBD. Â In a better scenario than what unfolded...Manuel would have backed up/competed for the job with Fitz. Â Unfortunately Buddy got duped on that phony phone call and basically let it slip that he had moved on from Fitz via his "we don't have a QB" take to the Bucs GM. Â The better question is shouldn't they have just paid the MOFO for another season instead of trying to renegotiate with him and then waiving him to save some bucks......and then REALLY wasting a paycheck on the laughingstock QB of the entire league Kevin on the Kolb? Â It wasn't a Fitz or EJ decision, they were drafting a QB either way. Â In reality it was a Fitz or Kolb decision. Â The cheaper Kolb option trumped the more expensive Fitz option. Wasn't a fans choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
