Coach Tuesday Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That is just... brutal. We have no guards and no QB. Jobs are on the line, as is the season. I'll say it again: brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 How anyone can still support Pears is the real question. I'm only half way through my own look at the all 22 but damn, I can't even make funny jokes about the guy anymore. He's worse than bad. He's EJ bad.

Bangarang Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Could our o-line do a better job blocking? Of course Did our WRs drop some passes? Absolutely However, EJ consistently could not make the plays that I expect a 1st round QB to make in his 2nd year. Even with a clean pocket and time to throw, he routinely misses receivers that could have gone for big yardage. He just doesn't the field vision or accuracy to be successful. You can have all the physical abilities in the world but if you can't see the field and throw the ball accurately then you're toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 If anyone questions pulling EJ after seeing this...he was single handedly killing us. The only question I ever had was weather or not they should just throw the kid to the wolves against Detroit and save Orton for the home game against NE. I thought maybe they'd try to create a "perfect storm" of new owner, new QB, home game against biggest rival, etc. I think they decided to do what's best for everyone. If they did throw EJ to the wolves, and he eventually had to come back in and play, he might be damaged goods at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 But also, on the Watt Play, the fact that he didn't even look at Watkins (and JW's confirmation that Watkins is the read on the play) tells me that EJ isn't putting in the work to get himself prepared. That's just inexcusable. That was game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he never sees the field again in a Bills uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 If anyone questions pulling EJ after seeing this...he was single handedly killing us. I don't know. When I see that I think "what QB could work under that kind of rush?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kelly made a great point in another thread about the timing of the move. He pointed out that even if Orton is shaky this week, it lets him knock the rust off before two home games and ultimately puts us in a better position to beat the *pats.

FireChan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 EJ acted like he got pressured even when he hadn't. These teams had the blueprint on him. It was time for him to be yanked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 EJ acted like he got pressured even when he hadn't. These teams had the blueprint on him. It was time for him to be yanked. But that's pretty much the blueprint on EVERY young QB. Pressure him up the middle, put him on his back, and rattle him early. Few QBs look good when they're hit a second after their plant foot hits the ground. Look at Brady last night, he was in the same boat. It's up to the OC to devise a plan to counter the pressure your line, and QB is going to get. Otherwise your offense is toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our coaches have designed a plan to counter this strategy. It's called start Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many first rounders on the bills play the way you expect a first rounder to play. I have 1.... And he wasn't drafted by the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) But that's pretty much the blueprint on EVERY young QB. Pressure him up the middle, put him on his back, and rattle him early. Few QBs look good when they're hit a second after their plant foot hits the ground. Look at Brady last night, he was in the same boat. It's up to the OC to devise a plan to counter the pressure your line, and QB is going to get. Otherwise your offense is toast. Guys were wide open and he didn't make the throws, he also made the wrong decisions on who to throw the ball to. He wasn't properly reading the defense pre snap. WTF do you want the OC to do if the QB flat out sucks and can't execute a simple pass? C'mon it's borderline ridiculous to keep blaming the OC for the QB deficiencies.

JC2002 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wow its clear that EJ was not seeing the field and when he did didn't trust what he was seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 How many first rounders on the bills play the way you expect a first rounder to play. I have 1.... And he wasn't drafted by the bills. Bad QB play has stunted this team. To answer your question though: Mario, Dareus, Hughes (10.5 sacks last year) & Watkins (so far he's on pace for 68 catches & 8 tds) The 2nd rounders have been good too: AW, Woods, Kiko, Cordy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Wow its clear that EJ was not seeing the field and when he did didn't trust what he was seeing. He left quite a few plays out on the field against the Texans irrespective of being under duress for much of the afternoon. The Bills should easily be 3-1 right now, thus the QB change. Can't blame Marrone at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
