r henderson Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) You try so hard to root for the kid. I was hoping another year in Greg Roman's system he would show some improvement. Still has that deer in the headlights reaction. I would have like to seen more production against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Edited August 27, 2016 by Beerball Edited spelling in title.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Watch the game and see how many plays were his fault. Wrs dropping balls. The oline getting blown up every play. Penalties wiping out tds and big plays. He is a flawed qb. But I've never seen a qb so unfairly criticized in my life. EJ was one of the reasons it was even a decent game.

Prickly Pete Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 "EJ Manuel"...by now you should have learned how his named is spelled, it's been typed all over this website for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Who is Manual?But for what it's worth, I thought he looked incredible last preseason, and this preseason he has been so-so. He'll be an adequate backup for us this year, but who knows what will become of him after. And in his defense, our backup OL is awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Is this in regards to the skins game ? He should have thrown a second game winning TD and he should throw to Dez Lewis more. Edited August 27, 2016 by Ryan L Billz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a Tuel Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) Honestly all I hear from people is how EJ actually looked decent (in a backup sense) and I come to TBD and see a topic and think oh TBD is giving EJ some props, nope it's a "he's awful" thread. SMH. Edited August 27, 2016 by What a Tuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 You try so hard to root for the kid. I was hoping another year in Greg Roman's system he would show some improvement. Still has that deer in the headlights reaction. I would have like to seen more production against 2nd and 3rd stringers. A- he HAS shown improvement.He goes through his reads now. Still a bit inaccurate... B- He doesn't have that "Deer in the headlights look" at ALL. Not sure what you are watching there. Looks calm and in command now. C- He Had good production vs. 2nd and 3rds. He's a better than average backup QB that's what he is. Nothing more but not the tire fire some have stuck in their heads.

Flutie Flakes Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Read the f'ing Manuel.....sorry but that is my fantasy football name. I thought he had a decent game tonight. Protection from o-line early was not good and WR's were dropping passes that should have been caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Who is Manual? But for what it's worth, I thought he looked incredible last preseason, and this preseason he has been so-so. He'll be an adequate backup for us this year, but who knows what will become of him after. And in his defense, our backup OL is awful. Who knows what shots he will have but I don't think he's a big mystery. It seems clear he's not in the top 32 qbs. From 33-64 (and a little beyond) it's about finding a coach that likes/trusts you and thinks you can do a handful of things on the laundry list he'd give to a real starter. That or stringing together 2-3 lucky games where you look better than you are. I don't know that EJ will have that advocate in the league currently and the Jax game has him digging out of a hole..... but if he gets a few lucky plays this year someone will put him on a roster. We could argue whether he's 45 or 62 or 71 in the league but really the difference in that window is fit, and luck for the most part. They all have flaws, none will be above .500 long term, and you'll hold your breathe when they drop back worried about mistakes but occasionally wow'ed by a flash of talent that earned a spot in the league.

Dr.Sack Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 There is something also called fate. Imagine if Brady unluckily was ruled a fumble in Oakland, no super bowl in 2001, they missed in 2002, then he gets hit and tears his knee up week 1 2003. All of a sudden Brady is a footnote in NFL history when Belichick gets fired in 2003 and Brady is released when the Patriots draft JP Losman.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I actually thought that he played a decent game tonight. He stepped up in the pocket and made a few decent throws and runs. He missed some guys but he's always done that. He's an okay backup at this point. His future is that but there are worse guys around the league taking snaps in the preseason.

Big Hurt Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Someone need to watch the game before he open his mouth (or hit the keyboard). AND you don't need to make a career out of criticizing EJ every fu*king week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 In all honesty the kid is probably playing his best ball was a bs pushoff call on Little away from winning the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
