I don't know if that's sarcasm or whatever. I'm just a fan. 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.

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.

He'll be lucky to be on any roster. EJ screwed himself over. He really didn't work on his game nor spend weekends studying game film with the coaches.

How do you know?

Eff I was wrong. Here is something I googled about EJ Manuel:

Okay. I take it back. He is a hard worker. But still, how come his improvements never showed? Can Steve Billieve explain that?

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. 

 

Theres a lot of truth to this.  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.
