bigK14094 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No backup QB makes the money that Cassel would have made if on the opening day roster (the full $6mil) Maybe he comes back for less money...maybe somebody else picks him up immediately....its really a money thing for Cassell at this point. I would not even be surprised if the Pats did so depending on their view of the Garapolow guy. Red Bryant? WTF? Means Carrington beat him out.

I just thought they would both make it, and someone else would get cut. Can't think of who that was, til i look at a roster. But Red looked real good against the run.

Â I think he probably was number 3 throughout camp right until the end when he played that perfect game. The perfect game is probably what pushed him high enough in the minds of the coaches to make them think he should be number 2. Regardless though, does it really matter. He made the team and Cassel didn't. They obviously think EJ is better for the team than Cassel when factoring everything in which includes talent evaluation and salary.

I think the long perfect pass in the Panther game started it for the coaches and for EJ himself. Then after the first couple series of bad snaps and bad OL play and average QBing, with his Bills career on the line EJ put together the perfect drive with no less than five great throws on it including two 4-14 great throws in a row to win the game. Rex and the coaches loved that. Then he had the perfect third game as you said. Â But they had been seeing improvement over time as EJ got comfortable in the offense and got more confidence and that translated into better accuracy and performance.

jahnyc Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Puts all the pressure on Taylor. I still do not think that EJ is a starting caliber QB. Not a great plan to go into the season in this way. The front office had time to make a better effort at trying to fix our QB issue. Hopefully, Taylor can be the guy.

Heels20X6 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 This is also good news even if Taylor and EJ stumble as QBs. We won't have Cassell carry us to another 8-8 record. We'll lose out and draft our next QB in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
