4BillsintheBurgh Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I agree with that. He's still a 60% passer who can extend plays with his legs and regularly hit both the seam throws and deep patterns. To me, that's classic backup-type material. And I think that's where the Bills will value him in contract talks, a middle of the road backup. I think it would be silly of him not to try going somewhere else to be a starter, and I assume if he relays those thoughts to the Bills they may not even offer him a contract and just say good luck.

I suspect that as well--if I were him, I'd be looking to go to a team like SF or Chi, where he can compete to be a placeholder for a developing rookie QB and hope to showcase himself as a potential starter.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Sometimes I really wonder why I click on certain threads. I should've learned by now. Seriously. Unless we're just trying to construct a Bills team I would completely hate. Again, he's POS who never showed any sense of growing up. And Carolina certainly missed him last year!

Malazan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wow...I had certain expectations about a thread for the "EJ Situation", but you went ahead and added picking up Greg Hardy. Totally surpassed expectations. 546/10 Would Read Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreFanBills Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 So he's not good enough to play for us anyway - and the Vikings are going to bring him in to be their starter? Or are you saying they'd "trade something decent" for a backup? EJ is a good backup for us but so are a others who could pickup the offense with a few weeks of practice and have the possibility of going .500. Basically, if this situation happened the team would bank on TT not being out the first 3-4 weeks. With that risk assumed, if the Vikings are stupid enough to trade for him and give us a person that could fill a role then I would say go for. That said, its not going to happen.

DC Greg Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I would be on the phone with the Vikings to trade EJ and free up that cap space. Get EJ out the door for a player or really low pick. At the same time, I would have Greg Hardy in for a visit. Our pass rush with Hardy/Hughes connection would be incredible.. This is just my take on things. But a one year deal for Greg right now would be a cheap option for him just to play. I know he is a head case at times but he can play, and our D does need the help.... I'd rather watch this team go 0-16 than have Greg Hardy on our roster. I don't expect every NFL player to be an angel, and I'm all for second chances, but seriously... screw that guy. Would make me sick to my stomach to see him wearing our uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaltimoreFanBills Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Not sure I agree. Let's suppose that Tyrod were to miss 4 games--I like EJ's chances of getting us to 0.500 over those 4 games more than I do for anyone else that would be available at this point. Fair enough. I don't think this hypothetical situation will happen anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I would be on the phone with the Vikings to trade EJ and free up that cap space.

I know he is a head case at times but he can play, and our D does need the help.... Getting rid of our only backup QB with any experience makes absolutely no sense unless you are an opposing fan or on crusade against EJ; TT's game involving running which will subject him to higher than normal chance of injury. Greg Hardy? Even if a team of psychologists and parole officers agreed he was worth the risk and entire defense were willing to support him AND he was willing to sign a one year contract with enough extra condition clauses to choke a laywer I'd still wait for post week 1.

Bandit, can EJ throw deep with accuracy? That's the one thing I haven't seen from him, and that doesn't seem (Ha!) improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just askin', 'cuz I think fans commonly over-estimate the availability of quality QB, even quality backups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beef Jerky Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) EJ's cap is extremely cheap, it wouldn't keep them from signing the dirtbag. Also is Cardale looks good EJ might be on the final cut list, so I don't doubt they might try to trade him but if not it wouldn't stop them from doing most other things.

jms62 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) EJ isn't going anywhere. It is just too early to declare that Cardale Jones is good enough to be our number 2... The best case scenario is he (Jones) is given the chance to compete for that spot and shows he can be that guy before this season ends.

Agreed, and nobody at the moment out there that is better than EJ. I think the Jets trade Geno "the jaw" Smith or the Viks stick with what they have till Sanchez gets dropped.

BaaadThingsMan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Damn, another "EJ situation!" What's he doing now? Not standing during the anthem? Hitting his girlfriend? Using drugs? Boot stomping off duty cops? That guy is such a distraction he's just not worth having on the team anymore.he's just not a good person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
