VirginiaMike Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I think the Bills will keep 3 QBs on the roster and the 3rd will be Tuel. He will be inactive each week unless Kolb or Manuel get hurt. From what I have read (have not been to camp) he has digressed in recent practices and still needs some seasoning. The only way he gets into the week one game is if he's the only QB left standing.

The only way he gets into the week one game is if he's the only QB left standing. That may be true. Remember, I posted this because I thought he was such a great value as a UDFA. Doesn't mean he needs to be the starter in year one. You hope for a Kirk Cousins scenario. Hope.
SPILLERmadeUmiss Posted August 24, 2013 Author Posted August 24, 2013 Go Tuel go!!! Kolb is concussed. If he's out multiple weeks.... Oh ... and thankfully CJ is ok. But why are they still playing him?!
dayman Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Tuel is a legit backup QB. He's great. I love him. Weak arm is the only reason he can't be a starter. Love him as #2. Done w/ Kolb.
Alphadawg7 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Interesting that the announcers said Marrone said that Tuel has played so good that they now have to use a roster spot on him and cant PS him cuz he will get snatched up. So sounds like Tuel is on his way to a roster 3rd QB roster spot which I think is a good idea. This kid keeps playing like this and EJ plays well, we will have some trade value in a season or two for Tuel as well as good insurance while the kid is here.
stony Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Tuel is a legit backup QB. He's great. I love him. Weak arm is the only reason he can't be a starter. Love him as #2. Done w/ Kolb. Seriously? I feel like the Tuel love affair is a bit overblown. I'm seeing lots of batted down balls, below average accuracy and really nothing that leads me to believe he's a legit backup. We're in bad shape if this is indeed the case IMO.

Because of one game... how is Kolb going to be the backup when he's hurt all the time?
Meatloaf Sandwich Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 Looks like Tuel is stealing FROM the OP.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 where are all the Tuel Chrosians? Tuel is a legit backup QB. He's great. I love him. Weak arm is the only reason he can't be a starter. Love him as #2. Done w/ Kolb. Tuel and out the entire 2nd half. If I heard correctly ZERO first downs!!!!
FireChan Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 where are all the Tuel Chrosians? Tuel and out the entire 2nd half. If I heard correctly ZERO first downs!!!! How many rushing yards did we have in the second half?
FistingBot Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) How many rushing yards did we have in the second half? 5 drives in the second half and all 5 were 3-and-outs. Had a whopping 37 yards in total during the second half. I'm not sure how much of that was rushing, but it wasn't much. Edit: 15 yards rushing in the second half.

brucethomas34 Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 This guy can play! http://rotobahn.com/...shington-state/ Go Bills! Actually no he can't...
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 24, 2013 Posted August 24, 2013 all of our high hopes dashed in a matter of 2 hours.

I'm not sure how much of that was rushing, but it wasn't much. Edit: 15 yards rushing in the second half. That's not Tuel's fault. Hard to play well with no running game, or any decent play calling.
jaybee Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 all of our high hopes dashed in a matter of 2 hours. I didnt even last that long. We all know the offense is bad till we get a QB. But, what was very disturbing to me was the defense, Good grief. Worse I've ever seen. Washingtons' taxi squad ran over them like they weren't even there. If todays game is any indication, we are in trouble. EJ...we'll see what he has but so far he has a 2 minute drill to his credit against 2nd stringers. Other than that he's done nothing. Kolb is VERY iffy. Tuel belongs in the Arena football league. He sucks badly. I'm depressed. And....Coach Marrone looked pretty lost all afternoon.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Tuel is a legit backup QB. He's great. I love him. Weak arm is the only reason he can't be a starter. Love him as #2. Done w/ Kolb. Weak arm? I thought he zips it around quite well. It's all the other "QB" stuff where he needs to grow some.
KRT88 Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 It's still the PRESEASON. Tuel hasn't proven a thing and he hasn't failed yet. Neither has this coaching staff, the offense or the defense. NOTHING COUNTS YET!
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 It's still the PRESEASON. Tuel hasn't proven a thing and he hasn't failed yet. Neither has this coaching staff, the offense or the defense. NOTHING COUNTS YET! Wait, what?
mchammer Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 The only reason the D looked bad was because they were on the field all day.
stony Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 That's not Tuel's fault. Hard to play well with no running game, or any decent play calling. So blame the running game and bad play calling? You don't have to be a Tuel apologist, he's an UDFA that just isn't what many made him out to be after he had his way against 3-4 stringers.
