Realist

Hate to break it to half you guys, but apparently Marrone has informed EJ that he will start in 2014.

Hoping the Panthers pull it out, but I'm thinking its going to be Denver and Seattle in the Superbowl. If that's the case then I would go for Denver, really don't like Seattle.

Very well said. This is exactly what I saw. I was generally unimpressed with Lewis as I have been in all his games. He'll make a fine backup, but I would never want him as a starting QB. Right now there is a lot more upside in EJ, I've seen some really good things out of EJ this year and, yes, a couple of absolutely horrible games, but as a rookie project, and that was what he was drafted for, a project, he's doing pretty well. If you replace Thad with EJ in that game playing exactly the same way, EJ gets crucified on this board.

I can't say I love what I see, but I am slightly encouraged. He was taken as a project, so that's what we should expect. Hopefully we'll all be higher on him this time next year. But right now, I'm a little more optimistic than you, I'd say about 50-60%.

No one on this board wants to hear, but EJ was taken as a project. It was said all along he wasn't NFL ready yet, unfortunately Kolb got hurt and forced EJ in early. As has been stated in several posts in this thread, he has actually done pretty well for a rookie that has missed some of TC and 5 games during the season. Just give him time, there are no Andrew Lucks in this upcoming draft, we can see what he does in year two. Besides, how many of you wanted EJ to start immediately after he was drafted no matter what to give him experience? Well this is what happens when you go that route with a rookie QB, that obviously needs work.

I hope Marrone is here in 5 years. To last that long, that would mean the Bills are actually doing good, otherwise he's done before that.

Two things: 1: If this was a non call against the Bills, we would all be having a fit right now. 2: It happened to the Pats*, so I'm okay with it.

He should get a chance to prove himself as a receiver this week with Woods and probably Stevie out.

You guys who are expecting big things from EJ against the Jets or at least better things against them, do realize who his starting receivers are likely to be? The starting WR's are probably TJ, Goodwin, and Hogan/Easley. I'm sure EJ will be lighting the place on fire Sunday with them.

Great interview with London Fletcher on the subject. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2013/11/05/london-fletcher-dolphins-veteran-players-failed-to-properly-police-their-locker-room/

You can only beat the teams the schedule gives you and they beat the teams they should.

Playing at NOLA, we just won our first game on the road in what, 4 years? Won't win two in a row on the road. Saints 30-20.

I prefer to look at this team like the 1986 Bills, you can almost feel something happening. There's a different feel to these losses. But if you want to have a negative look at it, that's your prerogative.

My thoughts exactly. I don't see anything changing with Lewis in there either.

Did anyone mention Geno's 11 turnovers? He had one good game, the only thing he has over EJ right now is probably a better long ball.

I think the big question is, if Thad lights it up, is he better than Geno? (sarcasm)

I'll give you EJ's propensity for injury so early in his career is definitely a worry I have. I also think a large part of the problem is Hackett, so far I'm not all that impressed with the offensive scheme considering the weapons we have. Because Geno has only looked good in one game (last night's), maybe two if you count the Bills with a devastated secondary, I would still take EJ. However, I would trade Hackett for Morniwheg (sp) any day of the week.

The biggest difference between EJ and Geno right now, is their Offensive Coordinators/Game Plans. I'm happy with EJ right now, he's looked pretty good over the 5 games he played although the Jets Defensive scheme may have been too much for him, for that I give credit to Rex and his staff. Geno looked great last night against a 1-4 team and looked like crap in a couple of other games. It's still way too early to tell how all of this plays out. I love it how people are writing off EJ already. Personally, I hope they both become good/great NFL QB's and look forward to great match-ups in the future ala Kelly/Marino.

I see where his knee got f'd up. Ouch!

Simple, Logical, Correct

Gotta go with Freeman now. The question is, would he want to come here. He feels he should be the starter and when EJ comes back, there is no way Freeman remains starting QB.

The Kiko hit will probably be fined, but looking at all the instances this season, I don't think they eject anybody.

I would not grab a QB if there was a stud OL right there. You have to look at what else is there for your team needs first. Now if someone wanted to trade up with us, do that in a second.

Don't like the Bills banged up secondary and the offense is way to conservative and predictable, therefore: Ravens 26 Bills 13
