Predict the starting quarterback for week 1..

Now that Orton has retired it is very uncertain who the bills starting qb will be. My prediction is a veteran qb. If I had to guess I would say Matt Moore. I Think the bills are done with EJ as a starter and I can't see them getting like a Bradford or a cutler or anyone like that. What do you guys think?

Given the Rams QB situation, wouldn't they keep him? They have no one else.

I don't know but they have a lot of money tied up in a guy that they clearly can't depend on. He's high risk wherever he ends up for sure. I think that they should keep him but there's a pretty decent chance that he is out there.

Unless there is some miraculous improvement in EJ's play, I really doubt it.

 

It's so early in the prediction game, what other guess makes more sense? Cutler? Glennon? Sanchez?

 

I don't think you need to project "miraculous" improvement to end up with EJ as a starter. Lots of young QBs get better. EJ's QB rating in his career so far (78.5 with 15 starts) is better than Drew Bree's QB rating in his first season as a starter (76.9 with 16 starts). Drew got better, why can't EJ?

 

And then there's the matter of competition. How many FA QBs out there are better than EJ? How many QBs in the draft this year could come in and start right away?

 

I'm not saying I'd be happy seeing EJ under center opening day, but I don't think KD's prediction is horribly unlikely. In fact, it's hard to think of a more likely scenario.

EJ. Third year in this system. He'll be the most prepared/knowledgable putting him at a significant advantage to start. We have zero reason to question his work ethic and I'm guessing he knows he's fighting for his professional 'life' come training camp. With modest improvement from him.... and substantial upgrades on the O line, EJ willl be serviceable.
