transplantbillsfan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Seriously folks... We've said games kickoff the "_______ Era" in the past, but this appears to be the closest thing to a beginning of a Franchise QB era we've seen in decades. Closer than Losman or Manuel, who were 1st round QBs we basically settled for. Closer than Rob Johnson or Trent Edwards or Ryan Fitzpatrick or Tyrod Taylor or Nathan Peterman () Kelly Holcomb or Kerry Collins or... Last week didn't feel like opening week to me. I felt only anxiety about who we had under center. Now... Edited September 17, 2018 by transplantbillsfan 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I'm excited as a Bills fan. Don't expect much. Hoping for a bit of " Do your best, forget the rest" attitude.

swnybillsfan Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 i am also excited to see this kid's starting debut. i don't expect him to have a great game, but i am hoping to see a few flashes. i am hoping to see some competitive fire. i am hoping to see his team rally around him. i am hoping to see a definitive start to something. and i am also hoping to see the defense get a stop or two. lots of hoping going on, but that is apparently what i do.

GreggTX Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Josh isn't ready for this. He has the worst OL in the league and very little at WR. I suggest tempering expectations. He may turn out OK, but it's very unlikely that he'll find much success this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
