PlayoffsPlease Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I did not know this, obviously.....very enlightening. I'm glad I made my stupid opinion b/c it caused me to learn something new today ! If you compare Manuel's completion percentage on passes over the line of scrimmage he drops way down vs. the average.

Big C Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Could the Bills get a 6th rounder for EJ? Ah yes, the old Blaine Gabbert flip. I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Well if you recall correctly no one here said we shouldn't draft a QB in 2013. Oddly enough we did get the best QB that draft. Mike Glennon, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I guess the question is, why wouldn't a Bills fan be "pro EJ?" He's young, he's a good kid, hard worker, has great physical tools and a ceiling that's pretty high. Sure, he hasn't put it all together yet (and my never) but he sounds like a player all Bills fans should be behind. He's the last player that should cause a division between fans. no one is divided on the type of person he is. The division is strictly on his ability. EverystinkinBills fan wanted/wants EJ to be successful, but, there comes a time when you decide it's time to move on. That's the divide, the hangers on vs the movin on.

He's the last player that should cause a division between fans. if he shows improvement + signs of being the answer, I think the vast majority of Bills fans would support him no doubt. But it doesn't matter how likeable and a nice guy he is if he keeps sh$#ing the bed on the field. Very, very few people in the fanbase have any use or time for that, especially considering the playoff drought. Actually, I think it's a smart move not starting him the 1st home pre-season game. This may be a different coaching staff, but last season's debacle against Tampa Bay where he was soundly booed off the field was embarrassing & I don't think too easily forgotten by the front office... you don't want to repeat that if he's not quite ready. Run him with the 3's and if he looks good, give him more work on the road with either the 2's or 1's next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether he was booed of the field or not isn't my call since I wasn't in Tampa but get your facts right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent 91 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Exactly- he's started and won NFL games.... Someone will think their own coaching magic is the missing secret sauce... And sometimes it works out that way. Won't be Jacksonville lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Ah yes, the old Blaine Gabbert flip. I think so. It's pathetic I know but that's his worth at best imo. Boy did we screw this up. They spend a 1st and maybe get back a 6th or 7th much like the Jags but that was even a bigger negative for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonborn10 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I too still think EJ starts game 1. He will start the next game. If they cut EJ then they should go after Cutler. It's not too late. Cassel can lose to the Colts and Cutler would have 2-3 weeks to get ready for the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
