Hot Buffalo Wings Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He didn't say Cassel is toast. That was after the quotation mark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The fact that they are not local people says it all. They do not watch or follow the Bills as closely as we do and therefore have not seen E.J.'s obvious limitations. Makes perfect sense that they would think more highly of him than most of us do. Right...That's it...His obvious limitations as a young QB in the NFL...Who would have figured that could happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 And you have quotation comprehension issues. Not really, I knew that but to add that in there was a little disingenuous on your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm no Cassel fan and am glad that TT won the job, but if Cassel gets cut he got a raw deal not getting any reps in that second game. He had 4 series all preseason. Not quite Flutie sitting out that season finale then getting benched, but in the same category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason he got no reps is because the Bills already know what he is...it was TT and EJ they needed to see. I don't mean to be overly critical of your post but it's really that simple.

I don't mean to be overly critical of your post but it's really that simple. Exactly, he was the only QB of the bunch that had nothing to prove. You know what you're going to get...

We quote folks and then add our opinions. I in no way implied Eric Wood commented on Cassel. But if he did, he'd have probably said, "meh."

Tyrod's Tailor Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Vic Carucci @viccarucci 4m4 minutes ago Expectation of multiple #NFL personnel people is the #Bills will cut Matt Cassel & keep EJ Manuel, who has strong support from Doug Whaley.

Tyrod's Tailor Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I was fine with keeping Cassel but not if it's the difference between signing Dareus or not. Preseason definitely convinced me Manuel can be the backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Bills Fan Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I think EJ makes more sense as our backup If Taylor were to get injured, the Bills would still be able to run the same type of offense as both QBs have similar qualities CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 @spotrac Releasing Matt Cassel would clear $4.15M from the #Bills 2015 cap, bringing them up to $13.2M in Top 51 cap space http://bit.ly/1iz4kvO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 i think if Matt Simms doesn't completely screw up on Thurs then he gets the 3rd string QB job and Cassel is cut. I don't agree with it but it makes financial sense. You can't spend that much $ on a 3rd string QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
