Bangarang Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 No surprise there. Kolb, however, is the 3rd string/emergency QB.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Not surprised about Kolb since he missed most of the week. But yeah EJ probably has it locked. PTR
FluffHead Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 The real question is this; is EJ Manuel exempt from the rookie hazing haircut? I certainly hope not
mrags Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Saw this as well via text. Agree with Sudzy and PTR. EJs job to lose at this point now. With a strong night he could really plant himself. Also, with a very good showing by Tuel, Kolb could find himself unemployed. I don't think it'll happen just yet, but if the play continues it might.

We will see some good things out of EJ and some rookie stuff i bet. I do not think he is as polished as Luck was last year, but he has just as high cieling. As far as Kolb, i do not think you can go into the season with out a vet. To me he would be a great insurance policy if something happened to EJ.

biglukes Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) As pumped as I am for the game, this whole preseason game on a Sunday thing is just totally throwing me off. Edited August 10, 2013 by biglukes
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Well EJ is the starter now. You can't go backwards now. All in here we go, the future of the franchise. Will he be the guy to turn this team around? (Half joking)
Dorkington Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Didn't the Redskins go into last season with two rookies? Not saying it works all the time, but if the Bills feel they are better than Kolb, then maybe having a vet is overrated?

Personally I don't see any reason to release Kolb. Give EJ someone with experience in the room
Corp000085 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 They still had Rex grossman. Personally I don't see any reason to release Kolb. Give EJ someone with experience in the room Exactly. First though, let EJ prove he can start.

Not that I don't think Tuel has some potential, but Cousins was definitely more ready to step in should he be needed than Tuel is.

Not that I don't think Tuel has some potential, but Cousins was definitely more ready to step in should he be needed than Tuel is. Well, 4th round pick. But agreed, I don't see tuel as a legit backup, and I still think he will end up on the ps.
Dorkington Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I'm not predicting anything other than them keeping the best two QBs for their final squad.
boyst Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I am anxious for this. However, was hoping that Kolb would be starting at least the first few games. I do not want to put EJ to the fire before he is ready.
John Cocktosten Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 The quicker OBD realizes that he's a bust the quicker they can start rebuilding.

Maury Ballstein Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 The quicker OBD realizes that he's a bust the quicker they can start rebuilding. Haaaaaaaa....can't even wait til week 6 to drop this zany prediction? Here's to you being dead wrong, for everyone's sake.
