MDH Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't either considering how TT has played. I don't think I'm ready to give EJ the keys to the car yet but I'm close. Yeah, I always considered Cassel the guy who would start if the other guys didn't step up. But both of them did. No reason to go with Cassel. I don't want him cut, I think he's a solid option coming off the bench as a #2 but I don't want to see him start any games unless both Tyrod and EJ aren't available.

Freddie's Dead Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Looking back, I wished the Steeler defender had held onto the pick six that Cassel telegraphed right to him. No way after EJ and TT's performance that Ryan would go with Cassel after that happened. Yeah, Cassel lucked out there. If that had happened, we'd hopefully hear less about Cassel being the "less risky" pick. I think he's more risky because we'll need 10-12 play drives to score. We got big play guys, we need a big play QB. If a word is misused in the same meaning enough the meaning of the word will be adjusted for the meaning of the word to be correct use. Happens all the time. The word crescendo used to mean "gradually get louder" (I know, I'm a music major). You could never "reach" a crescendo, but the word has now changed to mean "climax". It was tipped. Well played sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Why? TT is known as a running QB. That adds to the ground and pound and conservative approach and not the run wild gamble approach. Everything they have done with TT is the games is to make him a quick decision short passer to see if he can play an efficient passing game with his feet being an added weapon and bonus and not the core function. They didn't call one run yesterday for him Of course, but if you have a guy who scrambles and evades the rush well, chances are he's going to cough the ball up sometimes.

Freddie's Dead Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 That's what we're hoping but can he/she really change??? The only way to find out is with carnal knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It was tipped. Tipped pick 6 is still a pick 6. The meh telegraph is easy to read. Is this a joke in reference to the anti Ej crowds insane reference to ej's 7 of 8 ? The one incomplete ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a joke in reference to the anti Ej crowds insane reference to ej's 7 of 8 ? The one incomplete ? Yes. EJ's worst pass hits a defender in the chest. "It was tipped!"

Freddie's Dead Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes. EJ's worst pass hits a defender in the chest. "It was tipped!" Cassel's worst pass hits a defender in the arms. "Cassel's a bum!" Cassel's out pass to Davis causes Davis to come back to the ball diving hard for a great catch and short of the first down. Cassel's pass to Easley was way outside the radius and Easley makes another great catch. No comments about Cassel's accuracy or lack thereof. If EJ threw those balls you'd never hear the end of it.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes. EJ's worst pass hits a defender in the chest. "It was tipped!" Cassel's worst pass hits a defender in the arms. "Cassel's a bum!" Cassel stared down his receiver and his telegraphed pass was easily blocked at the line, popped up in the air and was an easy pick six that was dropped. EJ's was just tipped so barely most couldn't see it at the line to cause it to drop innocently to the ground. Which was a worse play by the QB? Hint: It wasn't even close.

nucci Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I understand why they would pick Tyrod over EJ, but I just feel like that drive we saw from Taylor yesterday is his ceiling. He's pretty much maxed out. And I can't get over his height. EJ showed us a glimpse of his ceiling and it blows Tyrod out of the water. EJ can be Cam Newton with good intangibles minus some running skills. So how does this make him Newton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 It's freaking Terry Pegula's fracking money. It's play money. Nobody cares about $5 million. I just don't see how you can say what you "saw over the last two games." He looked good/great in the first game and then yesterday he looked like Matt Cassel- a serviceable backup who can complete easy, short throws. Hey that's something that EJ Manuel couldn't do in his last two regular season games. I couldn't disagree with you anymore on this. I think it makes no sense to cut him. Terry don't care but that's cap money saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Bo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 OK saying that Manuel has a higher ceiling than Taylor is one thing. I disagree with you and I think you only believe that because of where they were drafted, which is entirely misleading with respect to both of them, but it's a rational thought. But you said that drive yesterday was Taylor's ceiling. That would be like if Mike Trout hit three home runs in a game, stole two bases and made the sickest catch ever, saying "I don't know guys, I think we just saw his ceiling." You literally couldn't have had two better drives than he had. This...TT showed what everyone wanted him to...he can stand in the pocket and sling the ball on spot. The big PLUS is that he can also fly like Superman as evidenced by the 20 yard TD run. He has more juice! How do you NOT start him when you compare all 3 QB playing times in preseason. That said, EJ has definitely improved and was impressive the last two games...I would not want to see him cut at this point...or traded! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 10 yds moves the chains. Short throws are high percentage throws, or should be. And hasn't the knock on Taylor been, he's got legs, he's got a long ball, but he doesn't have those short-intermediate throws? So.... Ball possession wins games Thats going to be Romans game. And another reason why Cassell might just work out. Sure you can hit Clay in stride for the TD, but you just gave the ball back to opposing offense. Bills dont need shootouts. grind it and dont turn it over something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what EJ was thinking. No situational awareness. Cut him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
