OR, the they are wanting to surprise the rest of the league for the 1st regular season game by putting Cassel and T.T. out there NOW and then, voila!!!
E.J. Manuel!!
IMO, Buddy fell in love with Fitz, had resisted taking a QB, and then when he had no other option finally was forced to take someone reaching for E.J.
... and the rest is history. Almost...
This was more Ol' Buddie's pick, his walk off shot on the way out. He basically stated the same leading up to the pick and the draft saying something like he wanted leave the Bills with their franchise QB before leaving or something like that. Bad, bad selection.
Hard not to like E.J. though.
Bad choice, IMO.

Manning throws way too many INTs for me.
Yeah, I don't get the prepare to let him sit a couple years... why?
He could be a 2nd/3rd round pick, depending on this season, and would be better than an E.J. who 3 years in may not even make the team?
Well, the Bills keep finding themselves in this rent-a-vet situation. I see Cassel as essentially the same QB as Orton last year: a warm body that
has experience and probably won't really lose you too many games.
I'm not going all-in with E.J. and T.T., if I were coach / G.M.
LTS... "Lazy Texting Syndrome".
I disagree somewhat. Cassel does have experience, no real upside, however he might be the caretaker / game manager for you for 1 season.
E.J. and T.T.??? Pretty risky IMO.
Funny. LOL. Fair enough.
I don't see Cassel not making the team keeping the other two:
1. Taylor has NEVER started an NFL game I think.
2. E.J. doesn't seem to be making progress by most accounts.
3. Ryan isn't going to blow his 1st season in Buffalo behind 2 unproven QBs.
4. If Cassel flames out, then that's on the G.M. and the organization more than R. Ryan. IMO
Could we agree that after the 2nd (Cleveland) pre-season game, the # 1 starter is it?
Well, not matter what you try and post, separating fact from fiction, there's ALWAYS going to be some lunacy!
IF, Cassell starts NEXT preseason game against Cleveland, what will the speculation posters say then??
