SaviorPeterman Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Former Bill Lee Smith (and current teamate of Manuel in Oakland) pumping him up now that he's starting again. I really hope he starts against the Bills. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000856954/article/raiders-te-ej-manuel-didnt-have-what-he-has-now?campaign=Twitter_atn "EJ didn't come into the greatest situation years ago in Buffalo," Smith said, via NBC Sports Bay Area. "We were in a building process up there, and we didn't have Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree and Jared Cook. Not to say we were terrible back then, but he didn't have what he has now. "He was a 22-year old man with great expectations as a first-round draft pick. It wasn't the best situation for him, but he always handled things like a pro. He's a good quarterback and he's a good man. I'd let him babysit my kids." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Ten years from now, when he's out of the league, I hope the in-season EJ Manuel thread count will drop below 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I actually wouldn't be surprised if Manuel lights it up this week against the Ravens in a home game. Some Oakland fans will probably believe they have a legit QB controversy on their hands. Edited October 5, 2017 by SaviorPeterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's something. Seriously he is a good guy. If the talent was there with him he is exactly the kind of guy to build around. Unfortunately, aside from a comeback win against the Panthers...his career highlights mostly involve hard counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 EJ Manuel is one of the worst qbs I have ever seen get significant playing time in the NFL.

DC Tom Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I thought he did very good coming for Carr last week in a tough situation. He gave them a chance. I thought so, too. He looked better than I'd ever seen him. Even his interception wasn't a bad throw - reasonably accurate, and he gave his receiver a good chance to make a play on the ball.

BringBackFergy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 i just don't believe in a reality where this can happen. It could happen easily...I see EJ leading his team down the field at New Era solely by using voice inflection and cadence at the line of scrimmage. He'll gain 340 yards through off-sides penalties alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I thought so, too. He looked better than I'd ever seen him. Even his interception wasn't a bad throw - reasonably accurate, and he gave his receiver a good chance to make a play on the ball. Plus they had to make a play to score, and he was throwing it up to Amari Cooper. That wasn't a terrible pass at all. The defender made a stud play. Plus he had a TD that was a clear drop, and he had another great pass that could have been a TD but WR didn't hang on. He did well. The one thing he didn't do was have game awareness that cost two five yard penalties but sometimes the plays don't come in quick or guys don't get lined up right. Those looked like his fault though. He threw a lot of good balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I hope EJ plays well, unless he is playing against us. From the little I've seen in pre-season and when he came in for Carr last week, he looks more relaxed and has played reasonably well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 He didn't have Cooper/Crabtree/Cook, but he did have Watkins/Woods/Clay. I like EJ a lot; good kid that worked hard.

ChanOverChin Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 EJ is definitely a great guy. However, as an NFL QB he has poor mechanics. He short arms the ball, he doesn't always step towards the target, and he quivers in the face of a strong pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
