BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 How long before Tuel starts? sometime during a Preseason game. then very little (fingers X'd for a healthy EJ)
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 My sense is that Tuel will need to look like an absolute star in the preseason games to win the job. If it is a "close" competition or Tuel has a bad stretch, the staff will make Thad the 2 given their comfort level with him.
fansince88 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I would be very happy with Lewis as a backup. I played above anybody's expectations last year. Of course he needs to earn it, but I don't see that being a problem. He's a better quarterback than Tuel. I like Lewis' game. Well, we know what your real name is
YoloinOhio Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana 12m Stock rising on Bills' QB Jeff Tuel. Here's my story. http://on.rocne.ws/1rCweB8 via @DandC
Green Lightning Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Exactly. Tuel is terrible. Sweeping statements about an undrafted and ill prepared by coaches rookie is what is terrible. Let's see who wins the job and stop pretending we know what the Hell we are talking about.
thebandit27 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I would vote for someone else...i.e. trade a late-round pick for a veteran, or perhaps see if Kyle Orton can be talked into backing up EJ for a year. I know I'm in the minority, but I thought both Thad and Tuel were brutal last year.

John from Riverside Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I like Lewis as the backup unless Tuel REALLY shows something
Donald Duck Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) I like Lewis as the backup unless Tuel REALLY shows something thats about how I feel John, theres lots to like about Thad Lewis from my perspective, Shows good leadership, mental toughness, quick release, live arm, seems to have a good handle on the Offense, maybe even better then EJ, My biggest concern with Thad lewis is small hands which equates to fumbles IMO...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Sal Maiorana @salmaiorana 12m Stock rising on Bills' QB Jeff Tuel. Here's my story. http://on.rocne.ws/1rCweB8 via @DandC This is a terrible article. It says absolutely nothing. It's amazing how a reporter can take a one-sentence statement from the coach re a competion for the No. 2 spot, and turn it into an article, which in turn, provides no meaningful analysis. How has Tuel looked out there? What makes you think he has improved, such that his stock is rising? How has Thad looked in contrast?
PS 56 Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Where's the "whomever earns it" option? My though exactly... that is the only answer.
You herd it hear last Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 How are these guys shakin' out now that half of camp is over? I figured this'd be a good thread to bump. seeing the positive talk about Tuel more than Thad it seems

I figured this'd be a good thread to bump. seeing the positive talk about Tuel more than Thad it seems I have not been out to SJF personally, but from reports, Tuel is in the lead and it isn't that close. Not sure how much that has to do with him being good (although it sounds as if he has improved) as much as Thad having a bad camp thus far. Sunday should be a better barometer.

Security Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 I almost wish Dixon showed something because what Lewis and Tuel have shown is dreadfully awful.
You herd it hear last Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Perhaps they should take the red jerseys off for the rest of camp and let the 1st D have at 'em. Whomever survives, gets the job.
