Kirby Jackson Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I want to start this off by saying that I have been impressed by EJ so far this year. He has done EXACTLY what I hoped that he would do. He doesn't need to make tons of plays, he needs to take care of the football and sustain drives. I have been happy with his play. With that being said after Jameis Winston's latest incident he is starting to fall on draft boards (Kiper dropped him from 3 to 25). Even without a 1st round pick the Bills can maneuver their way into the 20's (teams do all of the time). If EJ falters would you want Jameis Winston as the next Bills QB? Personally, I think that he's a little overrated and an idiot so I would probably lean towards no but thought that it would be an interesting topic. Like everyone, I hope that EJ continues to develop instead. Edited September 18, 2014 by Kirby Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 He's looking more and more like a mental midget... Not someone that I want on the team I cheer for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALF Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No , I think EJ will be the real deal after this season . He sure has a lot more class then Winston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No thanks. I would rather use our 2nd round pick on a TE next year CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No. Seems like a person that would be very difficult to root for. Would not want him as a representative of the Buffalo Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 unless EJ completely falls apart this year I really dont see this team taking a QB in the higher rounds next year much less trading up to do so...but i wouldnt be shocked to see them trade up for another position like DE or Guard if one they like is there in the 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No. Aside from the personal issues (which are likely to get worse once someone hands him a seven figure signing bonus), I'm always leery of QBs who play on loaded college teams.

Kirby Jackson Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Likes - size, pure talent, clutch performances in big games, on-field leadership Dislikes - pretty much everything else This pretty much sums it up. He has tons of arm talent and has been a winner. He just seems like such a loser as a person. He could go Leaf or Russell when he gets paid. Either that or he plays with an Aaron Rodgers chip on his shoulder and blows up. If EJ isn't the guy I don't want another boom or bust prospect.

Like everyone, I hope that EJ continues to develop instead. If EJ Totally falls apart this year, I believe, the team's plan is to have Orton play out the year and next year then in 2016 see what they can grab. Of course, this depend on whether or not the current leadership is still in place. Unless there is an unbelievable value in the later rounds I do not expect them to draft a QB next year. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem as though Heisman QBs do to well in the NFL. I wonder if this is a sign the that that committee is really not finding the best players and really basing it off popularity/Team W-L record.

YoloinOhio Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 He has said he is staying in school and IMO, he should. I typically say that anyone who is projected to go in the 1st round should come out. But the timing couldn't be worse for him considering the huge spotlight on domestic violence/arrest issues in the NFL right now and his highly publicized incident that FSU did its best to cover up before it couldn't do it anymore. The fact he is a QB/potential face of an NFL franchise makes it an even bigger red flag. Character is becoming more and more of a focus in the draft, especially for a 1st rd. QB. His actions need to reflect his words. They haven't yet. Not sure a GM wants to entrust his team to a guy like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like everyone, I hope that EJ continues to develop instead. Now more than ever it appears the intangibles and mental game is super critical in the nfl. Look at how much better the guys who have smarts and leadership look to be doing than the athletes who wash out of the NFL. Contrast Wilson, Luck, Brady, Peyton, Rodgers, keap, who are reported as leaders With -Freeman, Clausen, Tebow, Eli, Sanchez, cutler who are not. The best case study might be Geno vs EJ. We will see how it turns out. But our own guy who I'd venture to say is less athletic than the jests guy has been gaining locker room praise. No luck finding any eveidence of that from Geno. So we should watch their careers to see how they develop as a solid potential example of contrasting leadership styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) No way do I want that weirdo anywhere near this team. Something just aint right with that kid. Ive been saying it since the beginning of last season. There's just something about the way he talks and the look in his eyes that creeps me out. I'd much rather use the pick on DE, TE, OL, or RB.
