Big74Mac Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 By letting Tyrod go and resigning EJ Manuel and starting him ALL of 2017 you guarantee the Bills to have a top five pick in 2018 draft. And if they let most of their older FA players go it even makes the odds even better. Than when the Bills finish 3-13 they can draft the franchise QB that WGR and all experts are dreaming about. That is if that QB pans out. You only do this is you want to pull a Cleveland and tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It doesn't matter who your back-up QB is if you have a franchise QB. If the latter goes down you're screwed, no matter how good the defense is. EJ is no more with this franchise, at least he shouldn't be. EJ should've been no more with this franchise 2 years ago. But Lil Doug said last year he's one of the finest backups in this league, and many, many posters in here agreed. He's not gone yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Cardale or Chad Kelly should suffice. I'm down with a Cardale vs Chad Kelly camp battle. Frank Reich as head coach to keep people in the seats and get ready for 2018. Edited January 8, 2017 by jeffismagic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it says much. please, with your QB analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timtebow15 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I bring Taylor back. He's underrated and people forget he is still very young in terms of game experience. Yes, he needs to improve throwing but I think his ability to extend drives with his legs and not turn the ball over are being underappreciated. You keep him and keep drafting to find his eventual replacement due to injury or regression. You lose him and we are right back into full rebuild mode. And just because you say "rebuild" doesn't mean you are actually building anything. We are the type of team that will require a decade to compete again. Unless you think we will never exceed mediocrity with Whaley and this is the way to force that change than I may agree. Whaley could draft 10 more QBs without picking the right one.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't hate it. You might not hate it, but EJ won't even be in Buffalo as a backup QB in 2017. He's done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I for one am not anti "tank" overall. We've got to break the vicious spiral of mediocrity and get a real QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This tank thing isn't a sure fire way to acquire a QB, so I wouldn't waste any time expecting it to be the OBD course of action pursued no matter how many threads are started on the subject.

Peter Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Except that tanking doesn't guarantee you even a mediocre QB. This is very true. Think back to how much conviction Washington must have had to trade what it did to pick RGIII. After this past year, is anyone willing to bet the farm on Jared Goff. There are still questions about Wentz. It is such a crap shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 EJ tanked the Jets game, if you ask me. He's AFRAID to be on the field, and doesn't want another chance to catch on with another team. Yeah,yeah. Nice guy, total class, yada, yada, yada. Good riddance.......... He can seek employment that better suits his non competitive personality, like athletic director for the Girl Scouts, etc.... A bit harsh, don't you think.

bigK14094 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I don't think I could tolerate watching another game with EJ as our starter much less an entire season Amen....but, I am already dropping my season ticket....so, I can't vote again with my feet!

Peter Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Amen....but, I am already dropping my season ticket....so, I can't vote again with my feet! My Dad was a charter season ticket holder. I am an out-of-town season ticket holder of many years. For the first time, I have thought about giving up my seats. I probably will talk myself into keeping the seats . . . . I will wait to see what they do these next couple of months. Right now, it is about the least excited I have ever been for the upcoming season. Tell that to Season Ticket holders, who pony up thousands of dollars to support the team. Not *at all*. Girl scouts? Come on. I would venture to guess that anyone who steps on to an NFL field is tougher than pretty much any of the keyboard jockeys here. Call it a hunch.
