OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 ....started his career with a pretty lousy set of circumstances in Bflo.....skill set and collegiate body of work hardly equated to 1st round pick, with special thanks to Buddy Nix.....cannot discount work ethic but the kid had ZERO confidence at the NFL level.....he tried which is about as much as you can ask for......

Certainly if he made decent investments and doesn't start now with the rock-star thing, he's set for life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_kidd_4 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Stack some cheddar and walk away young and relatively healthy, not a bad deal. Not his fault that he was grossly overdrafted, and then had a couple clownshoe coaches here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Best wishes ... truly. Wasn’t EJ one of the initial “buy NFL futures” guys as a rookie? You made a purchase and the value increased or decreased as the player’s career unfolded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him well Some people forget, he was already the backup at that point.

Seasons1992 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I hope he finds a great path to his life 2.0 after the game. Zero ill-will towards him. His greatest moment may be that Jax game in London where he overcame the 17 turnovers and brought us all the way back...........yeah that's all I got for "greatest moment."

By all accounts a fine young man. Is this some sort of backhanded way of calling EJ an ass? You really didn't like him, did you? ? Others have mentioned the many things set EJ up for failure... Unwarranted first-round status via Nix and Whaley -- they talked themselves into it. Those conversations must have been gems. The first year injuries. Just as EJ was about to get some great consistent, game after game reps he would get injured\ I don't know that I can really define what Nate Hackett's offensive system was...all I know is that it was better suited for Kyle Orton than EJ Manuel. EJ could read one side of the field and could move...so what do you game plan--drop-back passing with fairly complex reads--brilliant..... Augie, despite my joke--your post sums up my feelings really well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
