ALF Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I would like to see EJ with the first string for the first half of 3 preseason games . Then decide if he's ready or Cassel or maybe Tyrod will impress everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Maybe, but he also hated the pick when it happened and has never changed his opinion on him. He is a big FSU fan; but didn't think EJ was a good pick, which I get. He has always been anti-EJ, and is entitled to that opinion, but it does bias his reporting somewhat Imo. At least from what I could tell when he was on the radio. I didn't know that, but I always thought the Bills wanted a vet to start this year.

YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I didn't know that, but I always thought the Bills wanted a vet to start this year.that may end up to be the case, and wouldn't surprise me. At least this year, Cassel will have gone through TC vs. Orton going in cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 The Cassel trade showed a lot, IMO. How so? Â We needed a vet QB, instead of taking a chance in missing on a FA target, we traded a pick that wasn't all that valuable for one. Even if they like EJ (and I actually think they do), there's no way the FO/Coaching staff rolls into this season with EJ and Tuel as QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Showed a lot about what we thought of the FA Market, maybethe FA market was even worse than anticipated considering locker retired, sanchez stayed with Eagles, Moore stayed with fish, Hoyer wanted pretty big money.

C.Biscuit97 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 @JoeBuscaglia: Column: Fresh start for #Bills QB EJ Manuel, but will it matter? http://t.co/NMJqlt7WEW He's hated Manuel since day one. He always take shots at the guy on Twitter. Â He also loved Manziel. It's his opinion but he is hardly some expert. He's some dude who covers the Bills who has never broken a Bills news story.

You don't trade 7th rounders in 2016 for guys and not expect them to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but if they were a little more confident, maybe they grab Moore instead of trading assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Right, but if they were a little more confident, maybe they grab Moore instead of trading assets. We got Cassel and a 6th round pick for a 5th rounder this year and a 7th rounder next year.

Dorkington Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) First, maybe the Bills didn't like Moore, and were looking at other options that either retired or re-signed elsewhere. Second, Moore might have put the Bills in a bidding war solution, and the Bills preferred to just get someone who is locked up (kinda like McCoy for Kiko, instead of going after Murray). Third, the Bills might have identified Cassel as part of a group of QBs that would be better in the QB room with EJ for mentoring purposes. We really don't know exactly what trading two picks for Cassel and another pick was about. In the end, it effectively didn't cost us much. I think if the Bills were truly desperate to get away from EJ, they would have cut him, like Leroi suggested.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes. If Cassel didn't pass his physical, they would've gone after Moore. Cassel didn't pass his physical though. Or at least I've read that in a couple places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Cassel didn't pass his physical though. Or at least I've read that in a couple places I think we waived the one part of it, but Moore was talked about as our backup plan if Cassell didn't make it here. Trying to find a link.
