San-O Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 No one has said injury prone yet. I'm pleasantly surprised. He's NOT injury prone? Well, he's not "healthy" prone, that's for sure.
CodeMonkey Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) that game against new england has the very real posibility of being a game that might keep the patriots OUT of the playoffs. I want EJ playing. that would be so freaking sweet. I don't give a !@#$ about the Pats*. What I want is a healthy Manuel next season so the Bills can see what they have in him with no excuses.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 For some reason, I find no real enjoyment in watching Thad play. With both EJ and Tuel, I can see the potential there. With Thad--for some unexplainable reason--I feel like we are seeing this guy's ceiling. Nah, it is supposed to rain so would be nice to have his mobility plus he played Miami last time so has more familiarity. it's supposed to rain? No worries there-- Thad has only fumbled like 9 times this year, and taken 20 sacks. Not gonna be pretty.

Fixxxer Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 !@#$ Bring Schaub next year if he's released, a rookie QB won't be better than Manuel.
Tu-Toned Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I realize that sometimes things become worse than originally anticipated, and maybe he did not want to tip his hand, but Marrone sure sounded dismissive about the injury on Monday.
Chandler#81 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Unbelievable. Someone posted in another thread about his long, skinny legs and how susceptible they are to injury. So, is he now a fragile Bust? Argue all you want. I want to see another QB taken early, and another the next year and so on until we find 'the guy'. EJ can hold the fort down while we look. Well, actually, he can't..
Mike in Horseheads Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I just hope we don't have a Tim Connely on the football field, lots of talent but always injured.
dezertbill Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 As much as I like Manuel and feel he is progressing well despite his inconsistencies, it's a bit of a concern that he has had 3 knee injuries in just one season. I'm hoping it's one of those "if this were a playoff game he could go" type of injuries, and the Bills are siding on caution more than anything.

Just in Atlanta Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I don't give a !@#$ about the Pats*. What I want is a healthy Manuel next season so the Bills can see what they have in him with no excuses. we need to see what we have in him THIS season. utterly depressing to think about another year of evaluation. we need to pick another QB in the second round and let them duke it out.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Maybe this is why you don't enjoy watching him play? haha; yeah, really. I think I hate sacks more than anything. I'd rather have a QB that tries to make throws downfield and throws picks, than one that has no pocket presence and take a lot of sacks.
CodeMonkey Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 we need to see what we have in him THIS season. utterly depressing to think about another year of evaluation. we need to pick another QB in the second round and let them duke it out. But if he plays in the NE game and he sucks, the excuse will be that he is still injured (see some of the spiller threads/posts recently). So this year is done for Manuel's evaluation. Let the healing begin.
IDBillzFan Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I really think we should focus on a QB again in this draft. I'm not saying first round, but earlier than later. EJ could end up good, but I still think we should be bringing in guys to compete with him. This never makes sense to me. All I read here is how a team will surely suck without a good quarterback, and yet many people feel they can find a quarterback in a later round just as easily as they can find one in the first. If the quarterback is the one position that will make or break your team, then you either want the guy or you don't. If you want him, why the hell would you wait until a late round to take the guy you want? Because you want 'value' or you don't want dopes like Mel Kiper making fun of your pick? Do you really think a guy who is slated to go in a fourth or fifth round is assured to compete with Manuel? And if he doesn't, do we spend another draft pick on another late round quarterback next year until we find our Tom Brady? Do you hear how stupid this all sounds? Either Manual is your quarterback or he's not. Drafting a late round guy because you're not sure about Manuel tells me you need to find another job.
Campy Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Johnny !@#$ing Football on DA BILLS!!! 2014 IF the Bills pick him, I'll be his biggest supporter, but I hope they don't - the dude's a stick. I don't see him having a very long (or successful) career in the NFL...
win1soon Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Why would Marrone announce this on Wednesday, would Belicheat do that? So frustrating, just keep them guessing at least

I don't see him having a very long (or successful) career in the NFL... Hes essentially the same size as russel wilson and drew brees. Maybe an inch taller.
snamsnoops Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Injuries alone HAVE to force the Bills to draft another QB - this is getting ridiculous..... I would think it would force them into bringing in a VET not drafting a QB. We don't want a carousel of QB's playing for an Injured QB with no experience again. Well there is always Kevin ooops I slipped Kolb!
Rubes Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 haha; yeah, really. I think I hate sacks more than anything. I'd rather have a QB that tries to make throws downfield and throws picks, than one that has no pocket presence and take a lot of sacks. Totally. Probably because we've seen so many of those QBs since, oh, Rob Johnson. That, and the QB who has enough pocket presence to just check down every time.
