BringBackOrton Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Who cares. It's either good enough or it's not. It's not IMO. The Bills may disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSOL Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Which team is desperate enough to give EJ a chance to compete as a starter? The same can be said for Tyrod. Jets, San Fran, Bears, Denver. Although i wouldnt be surprised to see Elway go for a passer like EJ before they go for a running QB like Tyrod.

aristocrat Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'd be very curious to see the deal tyro gets on open market. san fran? not in chips system. i'd bet the jets take a look at him. then he smokes us one time next year a la fitzy.

KD in CA Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I don't there much of an 'if' question on EJ. Isn't he an UFA after this season? He's certainly not going to sign on here as a backup (at best) without exploring the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog69 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 So, say we dont pick up the option on Tyrod, and EJ is cut, like most of us presume he will be. Who gets signed first? To me it is not a foregone conclusion that Tyrod is so much better, i see significant interest in EJ. I think if they both hit free agency, i think EJ gets picked up first. Flame away... I guarantee you that EJ will not be cut by the Bills this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzelaars_lives Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I don't even think EJ Manuel thinks of himself as highly as some posters on this board. I think everyone else in the United States, including EJ Manuel and his agent, realizes that he has a nice career ahead of him as an NFL backup QB. Very much like a Todd Collins. No serious team will be looking at him as a potential starter. Tyrod Taylor, who has undoubtedly regressed this year and I would not be upset if the Bills cut ties with, WILL unquestionably be looked at as a potential starter if he hits the open market and could absolutely win a Super Bowl as a game manager on a team like Denver. That's reality folks. That's just the way it is. Edited December 8, 2016 by metzelaars_lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This is a very real possibility. If the Bills can't get Tie-rod to renegotiate his deal, I don't think they're going to pay him 27M next year. Cutting him outright could happen. If I'm EJ, why stick around Buffalo? Fan base hates me, will never forgive me for London, so why not try to find a better place? That leaves us with Cardale Jones, any QB draft picks we may choose to use, or any number of the FA QB dreck out there. 2017 is an even darker place for the Bills and a QB. We are well and truly !@#$ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's reality folks. That's just the way it is. You dont get to be a first round NFL quarterback without a deep rooted competitive nature. EJ wants out of Buffalo, a fresh start, and somewhere he can compete. Im certain he will get a chance, a chance to compete. I can not for the life of me, see Elway make a lateral move from Siemian, and pay Tyrod starting QB money. Not with Lynch waiting in the wings. Elway would wanna rip his head off after four games. Maybe Jacksonville would give Tyrod the starting job, im looking at the teams wondering who would pick up Tyrod as their starter. Im not seeing that many teams.

Herb62 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I would resign TT at a solid if not a little more back up salary. I still think Cardale should get first crack and we should draft a QB several so so's this year and we might get lucky. Remember Wilson rd 3, Cousin's rd 4 and Barkley is not done auditioning 4 rd You dont get to be a first round NFL quarterback without a deep rooted competitive nature.

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 That leaves us with Cardale Jones, any QB draft picks we may choose to use, or any number of the FA QB dreck out there. 2017 is an even darker place for the Bills and a QB. We are well and truly !@#$ed. Not if the Bills get Chad Kelly! I'd say go hard after the kid and let the glory years be re-born for the next generation of Kelly tough!

Punching Bag Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I guarantee you that EJ will not be cut by the Bills this offseason. That does not mean much since is a FA; it is like guaranteeing that Dr WEO will post a Billicheat-ball licking post, we know it is going to happen. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/e.j.-manuel-12296/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I could see Tyrod having some success in Arizona. They're going to have to re-shape that team anyway, lot of free agents. But Arians is Legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This organization does not have the stones to walk away from Taylor, that's my fear. and start whom? I guarantee you that EJ will not be cut by the Bills this offseason. duly noted. BTW i can see that being true. Until something better shakes loose Not if the Bills get Chad Kelly!

Dragonborn10 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 If TT and the Bills win out, they will pick up his option. If they lose more than a single game down the stretch, then they will push TT to redo his contract to save a some money I still think they franchise Gilmore. Save cap money with A. Williams retiring.
