I personally believe that EJ will win the starting job. I honestly don't care who actually wins it, but believe that he will understand that this is probably his last chance to prove that he's meant to be a starter in the NFL. Cassel is a journeyman, jumping from team to team to team, just like Orton did. He's pretty much a known commodity, which I think is why he's on the roster. Tyrod Taylor is fast, but I'll stop the discussion of him with that. He's been a backup because he's not accurate enough to be a threat throwing the football. If he starts, look for defenses to put 8 or 9 in the box and simply eliminate our running game. I.e. we didn't give Shady so much money to simply not give him the chance to be effective.

Judging by this vote the QB competition is going to be fun to talk about I bet.

You use the word fun , fast and loose Truth!

but we sure as hell are going to talk about

ps

i have no idea whatsoever.

But i am going to vote for EJ. because if he is able to start we have an upside and can then hope.

Let Cassel be a security blanket and mentor.

Tyrod, not sure about that one at all.

wildcat?? :bag:

Rex was not involved in drafting Manuel in the first round so there is no egg on his face not starting Manuel.

On the other hand Whaley did, and Rex does not want to get on his new GMs bad side so quickly.

I think if it is a close call, Manuel gets the nod only because of Whaley. But I picked Cassel because I have very little confidence in Manuels ability and think Cassel will be the clear starter when the dust settles after preseason.

I don't think Rex cares that Whaley drafted EJ... He just wants the best player.

I think they almost have to give him one more shot just for the sake of us all knowing what we really have in a young athletic QB that has had time to grow and learn under a veteran. I'm very optimistic but if all we see is what we saw in the Chargers game and the Texans game...then I digress.

 

A little OL upgrade wouldn't hurt....
