BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 3rd year in what system? New coaches = new system. When that was posted Saint Doug hadn't quit yet haha. I'll go with Hoyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I gotta go with EJ. I don't think Hackett and Marrone really helped out this kid enough to really see his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) If I posted before oh well... The Bills will pick up Locker, then they will draft Grayson. That is the only move the Bills can pull off that gives them the best chance of finding a starting QB through competition. Hopefully Grayson wins and the Bills make the playoffs.

mikef272002 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 When I listen to Rex speak about a QB or about EJ it sounds more and more like he has little faith in EJ and wants to get someone better in here. He don't put EJ down, but he's not confident in him either. So I'm going to say our day 1 starter is not currently on the roster and they will sign someone like Cousins or Sanchez and also trade for a Bradford or Foles and let 3 guys compete in training camp and cut 1 of them. Whaley can not go into a 3rd training camp without 3 QB's hashing it out, I think he learned his lesson the past 2 years, or at least I hope so..

respk Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I'm hoping the starting QB is not on the roster. My fear is that it will be EJ not because he is the best available but because Whaley is trying to save face. I'm hoping they sign two FAs and draft a QB and let EJ compete with them. Unfortunately I don't think they can sign two meaningful FAs though. As soon as the first FA signs all others will stay away as they figure the Bills have their guy and no reason to sign here. Best case is probably sign Locker, draft Grayson (more likely Bridge) and EJ. Edited February 25, 2015 by respk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS 56 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I gotta go with EJ. I don't think Hackett and Marrone really helped out this kid enough to really see his potential. I am totally with you on this. It will be interesting to see him in camp this year. Hopefully all the criticism motivated him to work in areas he can improve.

BmarvB Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 EJ. He can't develop sitting on the bench, and we still have no idea what we have in him. As I recall, Manning & Brees were worse in their first couple years, Rodgers & Kap rode the pine learning. Ej should be given every fair opportunity to earn the starting job.

jletha Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) EJ. He can't develop sitting on the bench, and we still have no idea what we have in him. As I recall, Manning & Brees were worse in their first couple years, Rodgers & Kap rode the pine learning. Ej should be given every fair opportunity to earn the starting job. We certainly have an idea and it isnt good. He could improve but the odds of such a drastic transformation are not likely. Manning was definitely not worse in his first couple years, he was heralded at the best prospect since Elway but was drafted to a terrible team. His ability was always great, he just needed some work on decisions and stuff. EJ needs a LOT of work everywhere. If its EJ I hope its because he has drastically improved and won the job with good competition in camp fair and square, not just by default because we drafted him in the first and need to see what he can do. We know what he can do for the most part. Edited February 25, 2015 by jletha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddenboy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) As of today, Bradford. There's too much scuttlebut about this happening. Whaley hasnt been super tight-lipped about his intentions since he came here, and hasnt used the Jedi mind trick on the fans. And we have almost no money tied up at QB.

RCOHEN13 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I am totally with you on this. It will be interesting to see him in camp this year. Hopefully all the criticism motivated him to work in areas he can improve. System or no system, u cant teach accuracy. He laid WR's out to dry SO often on simple routes. When he throws short crossing routes or check downs, he seems to "guide the ball" or "push the ball" rather than just throw the ball normally. He lacks too many of the basic skills it requires to be an NFL QB. Can he be better utilised by a diff OC and coach??? Yes. But his weaknesses are still there and outside of a nice play or 2 here and there. He just cant be missing on so many of the "basic plays". He is not the answer. I still think Cutler is the best QB for this team. He is a gun slinger and will make some bad plays but has the arm to make all the throws. Has experience, been to playoffs. I think Rex would be the PERFECT coach for this kid. Cutler needs that coddling and Rex is the type of coach who can take ALOT of pressure off the QB in pressers and interviews and divert the attention to him. A boring guy like Trestman never had anything interesting to say so the attention cant be taken away from Cutler. Rex would be his biggest fan and treat the kid the a son. Working with some nice talent at WR, and having championship caliber D who be a great situation. I doubt we get him especially with his situation with Kromer but Kromer is NOT the OC... Roman is. If we can make this trade work, i'd take him over any rookie, FA or other potential trade target who may be avaiable (bradford, Foles etc). We need someone that can WIN NOW... We have the D and as we are gonna see this offseason. Even the marginal guys are hard to keep cuz teams will overpay for guys that were part of GREAT D's. I'm talking about Searcy (not Hughes who hopefully we re-sign but also will be hard cuz we made him a star). They have already said they wont be able to spend big on a safety after Aaron Williams deal last yr and the truth is, Searcy will probably end up with that kinda deal too. Is he as good as Aaron?? No way, but he was still a solid role player for us that's gonna get paid like a full time starter. Hopefully Duke can take over and use Graham as the 3rd safety who sees field a ton in nickel situations in this D. We used alot more 3 safety looks with Pettine than we did with Schwartz.

Hot Buffalo Wings Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Unless there is some miraculous improvement in EJ's play, I really doubt it. Disagree. 90% chance EJ starts. Also, I wouldn't call it a "miracle" if he improves his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
