PolishDave Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Way better idea than Tuel. I still say sign Pryor as the #3. Cut Tuel and put him on the PS if you must. Dude you have a serious ax for Jeff Tuel. Did he fart next to you in church or something? Beyond the number 2 QB who really cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL 10m The #Bills have agreed to a one-year contract with veteran QB Kyle Orton, according to a source. Orton will backup EJ Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Decent backup. Way better idea than Palmer or Tuel. Better than Thad. I still say sign Pryor as the #3. Cut Tuel and put him on the PS if you must. Better than EJ too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dude Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He WILL be our starter soon. This is the beginning of the end for EJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelle Getty Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) No matter how bad Manuel has looked there is no controversy. Orton is old and not very good. Manuel is young and not that bad. Edited August 30, 2014 by Estelle Getty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut Tuel and put him on the PS if you must. While I'd worry about a week 1 injury, I'm not sure I disagree with the take. It's a shame we couldn't have gotten him in camp last week.

Dude, he's like 31 and he's pretty dang good. He's efficient. He will be our starter at some point this year. I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Dude you have a serious ax for Jeff Tuel. Did he fart next to you in church or something? Beyond the number 2 QB who really cares. I watch a lot of football. Love the Bills. The QB position in the most important position in all of team sports. There are reasons over the years that teams have developed somewhat of a formula for the position. 1. You always want a clear starter. 2. You always want a veteran backup that can come in and not lose games for you, or take over for a half or a game or two especially if you are in a playoff hunt. 3. You usually want a young #3 with clear potential that you develop or groom, hopefully to be a starter but sometimes to just be a good backup. I strongly believe that Tuel has no business in the NFL. He seems like a great, great guy and teammate, and a lousy, lousy player. I think he has no potential, so I don't want him on my team. The same way I don't want TJ Graham on my team. There are much better players out there that really do have potential, and Pryor is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Decent backup. Way better idea than Palmer or Tuel. Better than Thad. I still say sign Pryor as the #3. Cut Tuel and put him on the PS if you must. That would be a pretty good QB lineup actually. QB controversy here we come. Depends on what you mean by controversy. Media and fans, perhaps. But what's important are coaches and the team. I think this is EJ's team and job to lose. I doubt they will be quick on the trigger here. Bailing on a 1st round pick with less than one year experience is a pretty stupid move, especially when you beefed up the WR corp and (supposedly) the OL. Neither QB will be ready to play for a few weeks. If EJ plays at an acceptable level, and shows improvement, the Bills have now found some legit depth. Let's just hope they don't need it too soon.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Good signing. Hopefully it didn't come a month too late. My thought too. I hope he is in decent shape and can pick things up relatively quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut Tuel and put him on the PS if you must. I think that Pryor has better options. He has a chance to be the clear-cut #2 in, I think, San Francisco, Tennessee, and maybe a few other places.
