BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) The writing is on the wall ..... we just don’t know what it says @BuffRumblings Rex Ryan: "EJ Manuel is our backup quarterback." http://www.buffalorumblings.com/bills-news-notes/2015/11/13/9728504/rex-ryan-ej-manuel-buffalo-bills-backup-qb-josh-johnson We should be 6-3. Thanks EJ, and happy trails. Beyond EJ's 2 games - We should have been 6-1 thanks to TT's crappier games Edited November 13, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That explanation actually makes sense, as does using a recycled game plan on a short week. I dunno. I think the opposite - it sounds like coachspeak to me. If you think a QB is clearly better, then you don't place him behind a mid-season street free agent pickup with no resume. Placing him behind Johnson speaks volumes about their confidence in him. Manuel has been playing in this system for months and months, and presumably he can operate a game plan as well as former SF third stringer one year removed from the OC. He's likely done here. The cap hit from cutting him will be negligible this off season, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I for one will be happy to see EJ go to another team. Then maybe, maybe, just maybe we can stop reading about how terrible he is. God this is nauseating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is it safe to assume that Roman's game plan for the Jets was almost identical to how he tried to attack Bowles' Defense when Roman was in SF and Bowles was in Arizona?

Captain Hindsight Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I wondered last night with all the designed QB runs, that Josh may have been more suited for that type of gameplan. It seems that may be the case But seeing him inactive last night was surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 You're not surprised by what, that EJ is still #2? Because Johnson knew the game plan better on the short week from being with the Niners which they rekindled. Said he probably knew it better than Taylor. That's a new one for me... But I guess on a short week it's not unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Johnson was a QB in Roman's system in SF where they prepared for Bowles' defense. He knew the game plan better on a short week. Really not a big deal.

Kelly the Dog Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Rex is a very honest guy. No reason why he'd lie about this. Yes and no. No reason he would lie about this, and I believe him on this one. He says all kinds of stuff that are not true or what he believes in press conferences though. Usually one can tell when he is blowing smoke and when he's trying to be serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Without compelling evidence that Rex is lying, I'm going to take him at his word. Rex has flaws but so far I don't think dishonesty is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
