BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) To quote the OP...."IN". not true. Other polls asked if he was a FRANCHISE QB. I am simply asking if EJ is capable of being the starting QB for Buffalo, the Poll is to determine the number or Bills fans that think EJ can succeed versus those (the detractors) who believe EJ is a total bust Edited March 2, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) This answer should be no different then the Franchise poll. Of course it should be. Manuel only started in 2013 because Kevin Kolb slipped on a mat. So that year he "could" be their starting QB. Last year he only started because they signed Kyle Orton a week before the season started. So last year he "could" be the starter too. Of course he "can" be the starter. They could sign Sam Bradford and he could tear his ACL again. Of course he can start games for the Bills. The question has nothing to do with his abilities whatsoever and certainly has nothing to do with his abilities as a viable, long term franchise QB. For a poster who derives much pleasure from saying "IN" to everyone else's posts, I am shocked he started a poll so similar too- but far more ambiguous than- the one started on Friday.

sjjr Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 He has lots of potential and would have beaten out McCown anyway. It's crazy seeing some say that Sanchez would be better than EJ. He's had 50 starts and we know what he is. He's inconsistent at best and has lost games for good teams. EJ deserves several more starts before anyone judges him.

FireChan Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 EJ can be the starting QB until his competition is anyone but Tuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB3 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 EJ can be the starting QB until his competition is anyone but Tuel. Oh come on. He could beat out that little #2 in Cleveland too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) The point is not can he start or not. It is can he be successful as a starter or not? why is it (that so far) this poll which asks - can EJ can be the starter is 80% yes, while the one you attempted to skew the results using the term Franchise has an over all lower % 63%??? the majority never argued EJ was a Franchise QB, just capable at being the starter.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 why is it (that so far) this poll which asks - can EJ can be the starter is 80% yes, while the one you attempted to skew the results using the term Franchise has an over all lower % 63%??? the majority never argued EJ was a Franchise QB, just capable at being the starter. Still not following? If he isn't capable of being a franchise type QB then move on. It doesn't look to me like most people like his chances. I've said that I give him about a 10% chance. They dumbed down the playbook after 10 starts, he's inaccurate and has slow eyes. That's my reasoning. I hope that I'm wrong. I just don't think that I will be.

Listen man, why don't you- once and for all- tell people what you think is going to become of EJ Manuel. Kirby has made his feelings abundantly clear. I think he will lose the competition to whatever veteran they bring in and I find it unlikely he is ever going be a starting QB in this league. To your poll question- yes, I think he will start at least one more game before his career is over. Josh McCown- whom you mocked repeatedly all last week- "can" be a starter in this league too. Look at some of the QB's in the league who started games last year. 1BillsFan, who is an adamant EJ supporter stated on Saturday that EJ Manuel will win the job and throw for 21 TD's this season. So that's what he thinks. What exactly do you think? Edited March 2, 2015 by metzelaars_lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanM.D. Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I think he's the starter on opening day. I think we win 10 games next year and make the playoffs. More TD's than picks. 3k-isn yards. Most importantly, I think he gets better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloMatt Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I voted no. EJ has never won a game with a dominant performance. Even his wins have been lack luster. Aside from his penalty aided comeback against Carolina he always falls short. Maybe with the new coaching regime he excels. I pray that is the case and that I am wrong about him.

ChanOverChin Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Wouldn't it be a kick in the head if EJ proves to be the best QB on the roster even after the Bills go out and acquire two vet QBs?? It could certainly happen. Usually year 3 is the magical year for most young, highly drafted players. They're finally comfortable with the pro game and believe they can get the job done. EJ has a lot of redeeming qualities that will help him to be a quality starter in the NFL. This is the year that he has to show us that he is THE man.

If Franchise QB is your criteria why all of these other no bodies? Do you want to tell us Orton was a Franchise QB, or Shankchez is a Franchise QB, or McCown is Franchise QB or any other FA's out there you prefer in Buffalo!!! ???

What is your prediction? Do you think EJ Manuel is going to become the Bills' franchise QB or not? Do you think he will be their starter on opening day three years from now? Everyone else is saying exactly what they think yet you continue to make fun of other QB's by botching their names yet you refuse to tell anyone what you really think about Manuel.
