San-O Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Question; Why did it take until 2 days ago for Marrone/Front Office to decide Lewis and Tuel were terrible? Again, the Bills are going into the season with issues are QB, and a 1 backup who has been with the team 2 days??? Seriously??? This is starting to look more and more like a circus I'm afraid.

3rdand12 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He understands his role very well. He's a Pro. I agree. I consider him an asset at the outset . But the statement is just by script. not a coment on the man. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted Orton all along as backup. It just took negotiating. Do research and you'll find your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 He understands his role very well. He's a Pro. I like to hear that too! But....he could just be saying all the right things while secretly hoping he just has to hold a clipboard for his $5 million. He may have seen our O-Line in preseason. Just (partially) kidding, I seriously think they will get better each week barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is starting to look more and more like a circus I'm afraid. by all accounts they have been talking to him for 2 months since he was released from Dallas. But no I don't think they thought Thad was terrible until OTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negativo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Orton was beat out in Denver by Tebow [and thoroughly outplayed by Tebow], so naturally the Bills sign Orton as backup because there's no upside to threaten the prized Jewel that is EJ Manuel.

The Dean Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've got to say The_Dude that I am pretty impressed. You've been given a pretty hard time in this thread(by myself and others), and it seems you have not only maintained civility and composure, but have come to understand the root of the problems, and adapted to it. Changing from a "EJ will never be good!" stance to one of "I don't believe EJ will ever be good, but I hope I'm wrong" really makes a hell of a difference to cordial discussions. I know it's a bit belated but.....welcome to the board. Let me pile on here, and agree a bit. The_Dude appeared bragging about getting kicked off another forum (probably not the best idea) and his initial posts suggested a bull in a china shop mentality. BUT as he has posted more, and began to clarify his stance....and clearly states them as opinions, he has revealed some intelligence his earlier posts did a good job of disguising.

dave mcbride Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm sitting here thinking, when are KtG and the Dean going to admit that that they're totally wrong about Trent Edwards' alleged accuracy? How did that debate go off the rails?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did that debate go off the rails?? If I am KtG, when I was talking about Trent, I was talking about him on the Bills. On the Bills, he was a career low 60s passer, which was what I was talking about in the post you responded to. 62 or so. Which I said was deceiving (meaning he wasn't even as good as that). He was 65 the one year he started and played the whole year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
