Wayne Cubed Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I'm sure this is the same variety as Kiko's knee injury and he was alright to play. I don't see this as a big deal but I'm sure Marrone wanted to get it out early.
YoloinOhio Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Everyone is banged up this time of year. Wonder if he'll wear a brace... seems to not be as mobile with it on.

Bills' Manuel suffers third knee injury, should be okay Orchard Park, NY (WGR 550) -- Following their fifth win of the season and the first road victory for their young quarterback, the Buffalo Bills were greeted with some all too familiar news on Monday. First-round pick and rookie quarterback EJ Manuel has a knee injury… again. Manuel suffered a knee sprain against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but head coach Doug Marrone does not believe it will force their franchise signal caller to miss any time. "Rather than wait to announce this later on, EJ just sprained his knee. Went through the whole game, and he should be okay," the coach said. "I don't feel like it's gonna be anything. We have time, he's already watching the Miami tape now to get himself ready. But I'd rather just come out and say it."
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 No one has said injury prone yet. I'm pleasantly surprised. Oh, great-- now I can't even say what I was coming here to say. Thanks a lot.
OCinBuffalo Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Out of curiosity, did your high school offer you professional treatment round the clock for injuries? These guys get massages, strength train and have people and technology at their disposal to make healing and pain management much different then regular people. Oh yeah. Actually, it was much worse for me: my dad ran one of the hospitals then, and he's an "overplanner" type. I think that was part of it: pointless teenage activity on my part just to enforce my "space", as much as it was being a "tough guy". I pretty much had my own orthopedic surgeon on call, and believe the cumulative stitches I have from him passed 40, long ago, never mind the nurses, PTs, etc. That guy is like my own personal torturer. When he is "fixing" me he's always egging me on to cry. He's a weird dude, a huge wiseass, and he usually tells me to tell my dad to F off, which is hilarious. The first time I got to say that was when I was 12. "Hey, it's not me, Dr. X said...to F off"! But he's fixed me, and "made me better", according to him, for years and years. It was great in HS, because I realized I could get out of school a lot, due to injuries, and I honestly didn't have too much problem with the pain pills. So, eventually I was getting over a lot, sometimes 3 times a week. What sucked was: in college, it's a whole other ball game. You have to see the trainer, at this time, for this time, and then you have to get to class, it becomes a drag/like a job. That's the one and only time I got cortizone. My torturer hit the roof when he found out. And, they try to completely control every aspect of your life, which...is a poor approach in dealing with me. Yep, a true coincidence that the computer always seemed "to go on the fritz" when it was my turn for PT. Look, I just recently I realized what was missing/why I wasn't working out as much as I should: Nobody yelling and swearing at me. So, I hired a personal trainer. You can't spend most of your life with people yelling obscenities at you, and have it taken away, and expect the same results. This guy swears like I do, which...is perfect. It's not the same unless you have somebody willing to cuss you out the whole hour. I'm thinking of hiring a job coach for the same reason: somebody who will cuss me out like my 1st project manager. I don't seem to respond as well, and I certainly drink too much, without somebody around to yell at me. Perhaps I should invest in a wife?

Your downside exposure is upwards of 50% and your upside is pretty slim. In the pure sense this isn't much of an investment hypothesis. Its a spec buy at best, and I can't figure out what constitutes a profitable exit event. More accurately, I'd say its a hedge against large bar tabs, disposable income, free time and fun.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 There was a designed run for a first down where EJ went off the right tackle in the first quarter. I remember him limping after diving on that play.
The Wiz Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 No one has said injury prone yet. I'm pleasantly surprised. For all the time I see you in the shoutbox, you must not be paying attention
buffaloboyinATL Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 I was at the game yesterday, hanging where the players get on the bus after the game. I noticed that EJ's Dad was waiting with the players families for EJ to come out, but instead, someone came to get him and brought him into the stadium. Makes sense now, EJ was probably getting his knee checked out so he didn't come out. CJ had a ton of friends and family there, must be from the area.

CJ is from that area As for EJ, "He's injury prone!"
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 CJ needs to start putting some baby oil on his cleats. OK, guyz, baby oil I understand but why on his cleats? Enquiring minds wish to know.
Trader Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Put a big knee brace on each knee as a preventive measure like Joe Willy used to do and stop telling me about every little nick he gets.... Not a bad Idea. Ej has long spindly legs not those thick tree trunks that Cam has. The guy is high cut and he may be prone to leg injuries as a result.
FluffHead Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 He did it while dancing in the endzone That was an amateur move. Endzone celebrations generally don't bother me but there's something about your "franchise Qb" doing an immature dance that doesn't sit well
benderbender Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 We should probably proclaim him the starter for next season and not even look at any other QB in the draft because he can't possibly get hurt next season
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Just brace em both up for the rest of the career.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Question.... The big knock on EJ coming out of college was he had slow eyes and had accuracy problems on long passes. My question is, has there been any QB in the past who have had similar issues or concerns and turned out to be a good QB? CBF
Leelee Phoenix Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Question.... The big knock on EJ coming out of college was he had slow eyes and had accuracy problems on long passes. My question is, has there been any QB in the past who have had similar issues or concerns and turned out to be a good QB? CBF I think McNabb is the best example in those areas, he was never that accurate for his career. Although, he made up for that with excellent pocket presence, and had a better arm and athleticism than EJ has.
