IgotBILLStopay Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Sammy Watkins had his best stretch with EJ at QB. He never really had a connection with Tyrod. Not at all a bad signing as a backup to Mahomes IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think (without looking it up) you are right. I have been (incorrectly) extrapolating the "Give me the damn ball" episode with Tyrod to Sammy having a connection with EJ Manuel.

T master Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 EJ was a good team mate & a hard worker we all were hoping he could be turned into the player that Whaley made him out to be in his mind & probably a better coach wouldn't have hurt just saying !

He also would be the highest rated QBs on our roster. But what does Andy Reid know about offense??? keep getting those checks EJ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about how many tryouts he got this past season after Chucky cut him before season started. Not one team signed him . Even San Fran who was in desperate need of QBs after Jimmy G went down did a hard pass . Tells me a lot about how EJ is viewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was widely reported that at FSU, they had to "dumb down' the playbook for him. Then he gets to Buffalo and announces to the world that "The funny thing is it's easier to learn than the offense I had at Florida State".....and yet he failed running it. If he's a bright guy and could not know the book well enough to understand where his secondary and tertiary receivers were, then he wasn't working hard enough on his craft.
