KDIGGZ Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) EJ is starting vs Jets as per Adam Schefter. Don't get too excited. It's not because the team thinks he's better than Tyrod. They just don't want to risk Tyrod getting injured and his contract extension kicking in. Would like to see Cardale too so hopefully he dresses as #2.

YoloinOhio Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 @salsports There you go. The risk of Taylor being injured and having to pay his guarantee was too great. But Rex was going to start him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Un-effing-believable. Tyrod Taylor, whatever his flaws, has had an objectively solid season and has played well lately. Manuel's contract is up and he is not as good as Taylor. Some here are no doubt looking forward to celebrating drafting 13th instead of 17th -- as if that will change things.

But Rex was going to start him. The fact that Taylor looks like he isn't long for this team tells you everything you need to know about this organization and Whaley. Manuel is terrible and Taylor is average at worst. He's better than any guy the Bills will have a chance at getting next season. Good luck to Tyrod. I look forward to seeing him perform capably elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSOL Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thats cool, hopefully he has a good game in his audition for his new team. I always liked EJ, thought he got a bad rap here in B-lo, and will be wishing him the best for the rest of his career. Im kinda hoping we see him play well somewhere to prove all the smack talkers on here wrong. Not against the Bills ofcourse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackOrton Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 He signed Tyrod. This is ALL ABOUT THE INJ CLAUSE in the option He signed TT with Rex's push and fired Rex when he wouldn't start EJ. Wouldn't sign Kyle Orton when Marrone wanted him be uses EJ sucked. Brought in dead man Kolb and Jeff Tuel and Thad Lewis to "compete" with EJ. The pattern is clear. He paves the way for his guy. Can him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
