BuffaloBillyG Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 I like EJ as a person. Classy guy. Good guy. As a QB....eh.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 15, 2018 Posted March 15, 2018 Honestly, I think the XFL or Canada. It may be a path to play for him. He could probably still land a job in the NFL but not with any path to playing time IMO.
PromoTheRobot Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 He'll end up replacing Donald Jones on the John Murphy Show. 1

I gave up on EJ Manuel at the tail end of his time here. He looks the part, but he didn't have the football IQ. I was hoping he shows me something, but he never did. He flirted with it, but eh. I got tired. Expand Everything I've heard about ej is that he's a very hard worker. It's a competitive sport, just by you fail doesn't mean you didn't work hard enough.

Here is something I googled about EJ Manuel: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2016/6/12/11902312/ej-manuel-buffalo-bills-backup-quarterback Okay. I take it back. He is a hard worker. But still, how come his improvements never showed? Can Steve Billieve explain that?
maryland-bills-fan Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 EJ should take up bass fishing with a fly rod and big bass bugs. Be careful with his money and enjoy life.
GG Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 He didn’t embarrass himself when put in for injured Carr last year.
skibum Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Crap, now what am I supposed to do with 1000 shares of EJ's Fantex stock? 1
Buffalo Ballin Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Since EJ Manuel is a hard worker because I can relate to that, I hope he lands on an NFL roster. All that work he put in has to show somewhere.
Saint Doug Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I don’t know why people are ragging on EJ. It’s not his fault he was drafted 1st in a horrible QB draft. Like most drafted QBs, it just didn’t work out. He was a decent guy though.
snafu Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 I don't know. All I know is that I need him to succeed because I bought a ton of EJ Manuel stock when it came out. I can't get rid of it until he takes off. 1

Most teams had a 3rd round grade on EJ. Because Buddy Nix (and maybe Doug Whaley) was such a lousy GM that mishandled the QB position, he backed himself into a wall of finding a QB in a bad draft class. I still have no idea why they felt so compelled to draft EJ in round 1, when he might be available in round 4. You can’t blame fans. When a 1st round pick (especially a QB) doesn’t pan out, it’s disappointing. 1
MrEpsYtown Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Anyone planning on turning that Manuel jersey into a Rosen?

jrober38 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 He's out of the NFL. His agent should be looking for a job in the CFL.
