Can you imagine being a wide receiver on this team and knowing that the pass will rarely reach you unless you do laser leaps or contortions. Clearly a recipe for depression and relaxation.

What did the MRIs show?

Be positive. He can't be any worse.

Perhaps he's back behind bars.

Hackett doesn't miss wide open receivers, often when they're a few yards away from the quarterback. Hackett's thread is another story.

It's all about Maronne's job. Manuel is certainly not going to keep it for him.

Find one second round or later picked quarterback from the last few years who is now a franchise quarterback? You rarely if ever hear of them unless someone gets injured. The years of picking Tom Bradys are long past, unfortunately. You need to go for a top rated free agent.

You will likely win more games with Orton but if you still have any hope that EJ will develop into anything other than the mediocre player he is now, you have to stick with EJ. That being said, it really doesn't matter which one you go with as our QB of the future is not yet here.

Re the wide receivers, how frustrating to know that if you get open, the ball will probably never get to you. Also, if it does get to you, you'll have to break your momentum to catch it or do contortions because the pass was thrown to the wrong side of your momentum (frequently when you're only a few yards away from the QB).

We're enduring close to it.

Once again, EJ is the definition of "mediocre." Don't get too excited when/if he has a decent game. He's another example of a one game wonder that put him on the charts - MVP of (was it?) the Senior Bowl.

There's no need for Fitz to mentor EJ; the latter is already an inaccurate passer.

Manuel is definitely "exciting" when he continually throws to ball into the dirt, over receivers heads, or to the wrong side of a receiver who has to do contortions to catch it. And that doesn't even include all the times he misses open receivers. Yes, he does complete many passes as well. All of this is what makes a quarterback mediocre.

What accuracy. EJ's accuracy is defined by "erratic." Look it up.

The wind was blowing for the other team as well.

Starvation

TJ is NG.

Anyone remember when, about 20 or more years ago, someone on "60 Minutes" made a comment about there being little to do in Buffalo? The Chamber or some other organization invited him to Buffalo and hosted him all over the city. The reporter did a follow-on feature about Buffalo and admitted that he needed to eat his words. Perhaps the next reporter who shows his/her ignorance should be invited to town, brought to the Falls, and offered a ride in a barrel. What more excitement could you ask for?

Do you think he'll become more accurate over the course of a full season? Doubtful. You can't teach accuracy - or feel for the game.

The value of a used car, er football player, drops dramatically after they've been around a few years. Spiller has been around and has tread ware and somewhat faulty handling. The BEST you'll likely get is a 3. Plus decent, starting running backs can be had with less than a first round pick. Richardson taught a lot of people a lesson.

Right, all we need is a big name head coach. The Redskins have been coughing up the big bucks for years in that regard. Mike Shanahan and his two Super Bowl rings was a major name, and a major loser as it turned out, who possibly ruined Griffin's career. Then there was Steve Spurrier etc. etc. Pegula needs to spend his money on a quarterback who can win games and create a winning atmosphere in this town. This will change the culture and help attract other big name free agents who have been avoiding Buffalo like the plague. A big name doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a winner. Much depends on how good your GM is and how much authority he has. Also, how much that GM has in selecting a quality coach. Again, there's Washington, where Dan Snyder has done everything possible to bring in a quality, powerful GM (who might the owner) and look where it's left that franchise.

Have dinner.

He didn't have to fight for extra yards. That's the point. He could have gotten the first down without "fighting." It's called "feel for the game." Get real. He's erratic, quite so, which means he'll win some and lose some. One thing he needs to do is practice "hitting the broad side of a barn" or an open receiver three yards from him. That's called hindsight.

EJ rolled out of the pocket in both these games but in the initial one, made safe throws with time. Yesterday, he rolled out of the pocket when he was pressured and even when he could make safe throws he appeared panicky. This is a big problem with him, he seems to panic when "the plan" goes awry. But whether it's planned or under pressure, his passes are quite frequently not accurate. Many that are caught require adjustments or leaps by the receiver or are caught in a fashion that requires the receiver's stride to be broken or direction to be modified. He's a very inconsistent and mediocre quarterback who can't be taught accuracy, because it's not possible.

You don't get over mediocrity and bad games, year after year. You perhaps need medication to get your head in order and out of the clouds.
