Big Turk Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) I'm not sure I have ever heard this before...kind of funny why it never happened as both QBs fell out of favor on their respective teams. https://heavy.com/sports/new-york-jets/geno-smith-ej-manuel-buffalo-bills/amp/ Edited December 30, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Whaley/Nix picked Manuel over Geno when everyone and their mother said Geno was the #1 QB in the class and Manuel was a 3rd round project. 10 years later Geno is in the pro bowl and Manuel is a college football analyst 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geno is on his 4th team, he's 32. Both were terrible picks. 7 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because Tyrod played significantly better then both before this exact season (geno), weird flex. tyrod was the qb that played for us when the streak ended, even if he was very average. Some bills fans have a weird hate for tyrod Edited December 30, 2022 by Kenosha2Buffalo 1 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
