boyst Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Well, if it's truly an open competition, let him have a run or two with the 1st team def he will.
peterlaw Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Jeff Tuel has perfected the kneel down. Hope he can use that move in the regular season. But why not practice a bomb to Rogers or Kaufman rather than a kneel down ? After that I still have no idea who our 6 WRs will be. Didn't miss Brad Smith today. Easley, Hogan, Rogers, Kaufman, Sampson all looked decent.
HansLanda Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 At least he looks like he can manage this offense in a pinch...I wouldn't get carried away with him yet.
mitchmurraydowntown Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Tuel looked great against an unprepared set of 3rd stringers. Edited August 11, 2013 by mitchmurraydowntown
cage Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 This guy can play! http://rotobahn.com/...shington-state/ Go Bills! Is it just me or did watching him move around up/down the OL, shouting out instructions, all animated.... he looked just like Peyton Manning running an offense... very impressive
Coach Tuesday Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Tuel looked great against an unprepared set of 3rd stringers. As usual your contribution amounts to less than nothing. In any event... Tuel's footwork and mechanics really jumped out at me today. I was blown away by it, actually. He still is quite the work in progress, but he's not nearly as "raw" as I expected him to be - his drops are just excellent.
San Jose Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Much thanks for the heads up. I'm just beyond pumped with this draft class. On numerous occasions Tuel changed formations, corrected teammates who were incorrectly lined up, and generally seemed to have a mastery of the offense. I was more than impressed.
CodeMonkey Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) Tuel looked great against an unprepared set of 3rd stringers. Exactly. However he hit receivers in stride and generally looked impressive. To me he looked better than EJ, but EJ was playing against the Indy starters (of course he was playing with the Bills starters as well, which is an advantage). I saw Tuel early in camp and figured he wouldn't even make the practice squad. I was very pleasantly surprised today. Can Marrone go with 2 rookie QBs? Edited August 11, 2013 by CodeMonkey
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Repeating it here that I have said elsewhere so one day if I am right someone can start a thread saying how smart I was with insight. If Kolb comes in and does well, we keep him. If Kolb comes back guns'a-blazin' we keep him, maybe start him. If he outplays EJ there is no doubt. However, if Tuel continues to look comfortable taking 2nd team reps then I think it is more valuable to keep 7 WR's with one of them being Brad Smith who I think is likely to otherwise be a top 6 WR. The 7th WR would be more valuable to our future then Kolb could be. That is to say, if we are down to final cuts and finding that Kaufman, Rogers and Smith are all neck and neck then we keep the three. Or maybe Hogan sticks? Maybe PS? That would make our 53 man roster: SJ13 TJ Graham RWoods MGoodwin Brad Smith Kaufman Rogers I like the idea of keeping a potential star opposed to Kolb. I'm not in support of it but really I'm wondering why Easley is not on your list after today's performance?
cale Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 I thought he was impressive. Sure he was playing against their scrubs. So we need some perspective. But at the same time, he was playing with "our scrubs" too. The kid has a presence about him and definitely seems to have a grasp of the offense. I think he ran an up tempo, quick hit offense in college too. So this scheme suits him.

davspo Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 You can't hold the level of his competition against him. He did everything they asked him to do- plus. He earned a chance to run with the 1st team defense.
Optometric Insight Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 He was very impressive today. 19-23 212 yds with 2 TD is amazing for playing for the first time against an NFL defense. It definitely makes the QB competition more interesting and I can't wait to see him play against the 1's.
The Senator Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Time for the Mike Leach disciples to have our say... IT'S TUEL TIME!!!!!

BillnutinHouston Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 To me he looked better than EJ, but EJ was playing against the Indy starters (of course he was playing with the Bills starters as well, which is an advantage). Might that make a difference?
VADC Bills Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Reminds of of Kirk Cousins last year. Came out and did everything well, needs work but he and Manuel were as prepared as any first preseason game QB we have had in years. Kolb may be odd man out, Tuel has taken advantage of the reps.
