FireChan Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) A repeat of last year's, with a poll! http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/170205-would-you-right-now-trade-ej-for-tannehill-straight-up/ For me, it's a yes. Try not to turn this into a full EJ topic. I want to get a baseline on the career's of two young QB's in the AFC East, not talk Matt Cassel.

FluffHead Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Anyone who votes no is straight up looney. Tannehill isn't the second coming of Joe Montana but EJ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Yes, without hesitation. I wouldn't trade for Tannehill with the intention of paying him a massive amount of money though. Tannehill is by far the better QB at this point. Bills fans can only hope that EJ improves as Tannehill did and put up the kind of numbers he did last year.

Tanny is gonna get paid a massive amount of money by somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I would say neither. They will never win with a guy like Tanny, who can basically only throw 4-yard passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Doesn't mean he is worth it If you don't pay him, someone else will. Hence the one year rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 This is stupid and another sad attempt to put EJ down. Of course at this point, you have to take Tannehll. But here's their first 4 games last year: Tannehll - 93/ 155, 60%, 902 yards, 5.8 ypa, 6 tds, 3 ints, 2 fumbles, 0 rushing tds. W-L: 2-2 http://www.nfl.com/player/ryantannehill/2532956/gamelogs Manuel - 76/131, 58%, 838 yards, 6.4 ypa, 5 tds, 3 ints, 1 fumble, 1 rushing td. W-L: 2-2 http://www.nfl.com/player/ejmanuel/2539228/gamelogs Seems like 2 young qbs who got off to very similar starts. Except our gutless coach benched our guy and the Miami coaches, despite whining by fans and media, stuck with Tannehill. And he improved. Tannehill has Aaron Rodgers' old OC and a guy from Chip Kelly's staff. We had guys who worked with Ryan Nassib in the Big East who turned a 9-7 record into assistant coaches jobs with the Jags. But there is one place EJ is clearly ahead of him. He's one and zero versus him. In fact, the only Bills QB to lose to Tannehill is the veteran upgrade and your hero Kyle Orton.

Best case scenario with EJ is that he puts up numbers similar to what Tannehill put up last season. That would be EJ playing out of his mind good which I don't think he's capable of. I'm willing to take Tannehill for a season, let some other team massively overpay for him and try and take another QB in 2016 when we have more draft picks to work with. I don't see EJ as a long term solution to our QB problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 No because he might get you to the playoffs every few years but mostly is just blah...I would rather wait and draft a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel and Tannehill had almost identical stats after their first year in terms of completion %, TD%, INT %, AY/A, etc. I doubt many people would have traded Manuel for Tannehil straight up based solely on their first seasons...

FireChan Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) I can see what because facts are meaningless to you. You're awful. You answered the question with your second sentence. Your tired defense of "rah rah Kyle Orton, rah rah 1 win against Tanny because he's only been good/healthy to play him once" means nothing in this topic.

I think people underestimate how big of a coward Marrone was. But at least the gamble paid off and we will still got him and Orton. Great move.

We'll never know that. I know I would've traded Manuel for Tanny looking at Manuel's first and Tanny's second season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
