Bangarang Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 As they should, it might be year 3 but he still is a rookie. No, he's really not. Is Tebow still a rookie then? He's only had as many starts as EJ. Are they eligible for rookie of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanInUticaTampa Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 barring an injury, I think they keep all 3 of them. All three looked good in the 1st game, all are affordable. Cassel and tyrod are the ones that would save us money, and no way they cut tyrod and cassel is looking good enough as a safety net. And in my opinion, EJ still has potential and we won't save anything by cutting him. EJ looked better in that game than he has before. I think he has improved, even if he is a step behind the other two guys. EJ can still get better and possibly fill in later if one or both of the others get injured. Im trying to keep an even temper because it was just one preseason game. But All I can think of is last year and we had 5 preseason games and it took forever for the 1st team to score a TD. This offense looks so much improved. It isn't an offense that will light teams up, but it will keep them honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedBillsFan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 You cannot be serious! Tebow will soon be on the street. Good point. Trade Cassel to someone else for a 7th and then just grab Tebow once he is released. Thanks for helping me think this through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for helping me think this through. Take the next step in your thinking.....Tebow is not worthy of an NFL roster spot. @JoeBuscaglia Another indication that EJ Manuel may be in some trouble, plus six other observations from today's #Bills practice: http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/7-bills-training-camp-observations-day-12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedBillsFan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Take the next step in your thinking.....Tebow is not worthy of an NFL roster spot. Debatable...although largely agreed upon by NFL executives. I'd still rather have him over Cassel. Cassel will manage the game and play it safe (with this D maybe that is all we need to win). I'm not saying either deserve to start, but as a 3rd string option, I'd prefer Tebow over Cassel. It would require less of an adjustment to the playbook if both EJ and TT went down, and the excitement/unpredictable craziness he brings to the game is fun to watch.

Please, please, please go watch Tebow this preseason. He couldn't backup Drew Willy in the CFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Putting all of your QB eggs in the TT/Cassel basket with Simms 3rd wouldn't be the way to go IMO. We shall soon see. what other basket do we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickelCity Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Our QBs aren't pricey. Cassel is playing fairly well, and EJ has been up and down but turned in some good performances. I think it ends up TT, Cassel, EJ and we keep all three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Yepper. Can't wait 'til we drop 40 on the Colts in W1 and the rest of the league is like, "WTF?" And the defense pitches a shutout. Right after the NFL pregame talking heads say Bills will lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YattaOkasan Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 ... although I think one way or another EJ done here. I think there's only one way he's done here. That is by trade; otherwise, he will be in a Bills jersey this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
