DisplacedBillsFan Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Let's get a little optimism going around here (or let your hate out, haters), and get ready for the 2014 season!! Throw out your prediction for EJ's stats at the end of the regular season. We'll worry about his post season stats when we lock up the division at the end of November. What say I? 3,700 yards, 30 TDs, 15 INTs, and a 65% completion percentage
Hazed and Amuzed Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 I think that's a little too optimistic. I'd say: 3100 yards 23 TDS 11 ints 62% completion percentage I think that's has us in contention for a WC birth.
jaybee Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 If healthy I think thats reasonable. If he does this well or better I'd say maybe a .500 season, or maybe even a game above that. Hope I'm wrong........and they go undefeated !!

There is optimism and then there is insanity... 3,300 yards, 19 TDs 13 picks, 2 rushing TDs, 350 rush yards

We saw Freddy catch 7 passes last week, correct? It's using our RBs in this manner (even if it is a check down and not the first, second or third option), and their ability to run after those catches, that have me believing 30 TDs is a real possibility.
Bangarang Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) A pretty good season would somewhere be along the lines of: 3500 yards 26 TDS 15 Ints 62% completion I would be pretty encouraged by those numbers. Edited August 22, 2014 by Bangarang
BillsFan17 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Honestly, I am pulling for EJ3 in so many ways, hut I am seeing something like ... 3,000 ball park 19 TDs 16INTs 4 Fumbles, two lost. I want to say better numbers, but with the injuries stinting a lot of the growth, Manuel is basically having an encore rookie experience. Combine that with not seeing a lot in game time decisions. Practice the kid bas improved week in and week out. All we hear is how this practice is the nest in a bills uniform. Yet, that has not translated in the pre season all that much.
Flip Johnson Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 14-16 games 60% completion rate 3,500 yards 24 TDs 12 INTs

FluffHead Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 @JasonPhilCole: #Bills coach Doug Marrone was told by several staffers, players at end of 2013 that QB EJ Manuel wasn't good enough. Preseason is troubling
Dorkington Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 After today's showing? I'm not sure he lasts 6 games until he's benched. Not all his fault, the OL sucked, and players slipped. But dear god he was horrible as well.
