John Cocktosten Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Haaaaaaaa....can't even wait til week 6 to drop this zany prediction? Here's to you being dead wrong, for everyone's sake. Zany? It's been 30 years since the Bills guessed right on a QB. I hope I'm dead wrong but EJ couldn't will FSU to a win over NCST so I'm supposed to think he's supposed be better in the NFL? I doubt it. Buffalo Bills....rebuilding since 1997!
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 EJ the man.. He gonna do great... Kolb wasn't built for this team, EJ Is....

Now how can you argue with impeccable logic like that?
Maury Ballstein Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Well u have fun with that....ill join you in mopeyville if EJ stinks after week 8 perhaps IMO it's zany....he is a 1st round draft pick with a huge arm and wheels....
zazie 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. Byron Leftwich>Kolb toss Kolb, get in someone who has legit STARTING experience to be the backup. Kolb has always been a back-up.
SBUffalo Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The real question is this; is EJ Manuel exempt from the rookie hazing haircut? I certainly hope not There's a lot of different stuff done to rookies. I'm sure he's been getting something. I'm hoping this isn't the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if coaches instruct the team to limit the way they mess with rookie QBs in a QB competition. Less distractions.

boyst Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Good point. Under this regime I do not think Rookie hazing is that big. edit: Not only because they are serious, but because everyone is new to each other. New players, rookies, new feel, new attitude, new GM/FO, new coach. Edited August 10, 2013 by jboyst62
John Cocktosten Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Now how can you argue with impeccable logic like that? Or you could've just watched him implode in the biggest game of his career. But I'm sure he'll fare better against NFL defenses. Edited August 10, 2013 by John Cocktosten
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) A good preformance and the race might be over Tuel could catch him though Edited August 10, 2013 by Buffalo Barbarian

I'm all for it and think its hilarious
Kellyto83TD 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 As of thursday EJ had 100 more reps in, so yeah I gotta agree its his to lose now

The biggest game of his career? Quit it. It was week six in the college football season. Not even in his top ten most important games. Edited August 10, 2013 by DStebb716
26TrapDraw Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 It's as simple as this EJ has his interview Sunday night. If he has a good enough showing and shows a grasp of the offense, this competition is done. It's almost as if Kolb is cursed with all the crap happening to him. Or it's Ej's destiny? We got a front row seat and I'm stoked about it. LV

The days of stopgap starters to get your young guns ready are DEAD.
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I am so excited! It will be like Christmas eve and I am a kid who can't sleep. I am glad it's on early at 1:30

reddogblitz Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 This should be fun. Jacked to see what this kid can do in an NFL game. I wouldn't be surprised though even if he does well if Kolb starts the next game. Often in the QB competitions they give each guy a start to see how they do with the 1st unit against the other team's first unit. It's what they did in Seattle last year between Flynn and Wilson. It's what we did 3 years ago when we had our Trent/Fitz/Brohm/Levi shootout. I hope the speculation that Kolb will be cut and we ride with Tuel Time as our backup doesn't happen. Wait to see what he does in pre season. But I saw a lot of WSU games when he was there. He's really not very good and he is injury riddled. If EJ were to get hurt and we had to ride with Tuel, it could get ugly. We'd be picking up Brady Quinn off the street to start. We'd have to.
maddenboy Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) 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. Its tough to sneak qbs (Tuel) onto the practice squad. I dont think they'll gamble like that. There are too many qb needy teams. And too many teams in our division who'd love to pick the brain of a guy who was in every qb meeting under our new coach/staff. Byron Leftwich>Kolb toss Kolb, get in someone who has legit STARTING experience to be the backup. Kolb has always been a back-up. Charlie B(izz)atch > Leftwich > Kolb. At least B(izz)atch makes plays. Leftwich just runs plays. Kolb just prays to god he doesnt get killed on most plays. Edited August 10, 2013 by maddenboy
