BillsBytheBay Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Can you please tell me how much he will suck. Your constant "he sucks" posts are really good and add to the conversation. seriously?
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 You could be on to something. Perhaps they told him to play poorly so Orton would believe he could start, therefore agreeing to sign with buffalo over other suitors. Brilliantly executed all the way around!
Green Lightning Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 ...and someone wanted to consolidate all EJ threads into one giant one! Ha! There must be 50 ways to start an EJ thread.
papazoid Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 the only hoax is anyone believing EJ will be a franchise QB. he's not even good enough to be in the Top 25 of QB's.
Dan Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Hackett: When Sammy goes deep, I want you to overthrow him. EJ: But, coach I can make that throw. And Coach Marrone said that the goal is to win every pre-season game. Hackett: Listen. There are more important things happening here. I guarantee that if you overthrow him (and follow that up with an errant roll-out throw, and a pick to Chandler), the Bears will have no idea what is coming. EJ: Well, okay, I guess. But I still... Hackett: Trust me. I have been doing this for a long time. While holding his hand up and waving EJ away, flaunting his multiple oversized Pin Stripe Bowl rings. Fixed. Excellent post!
CountDorkula Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 seriously? Yes. I dont think I have read EJ sucks enough today. I need more. MORE!
KD in CA Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Your Honor, this preseason is a travesty of a mockery of a sham of a mockery of a travesty of two mockeries of a sham!
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Fixed. Excellent post! haha--nice.
1billsfan Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 the only hoax is anyone believing EJ will be a franchise QB. he's not even good enough to be in the Top 25 of QB's. Well EJ Manuel WAS drafted and billed as a raw QB who probably needed a year on the bench but would be pressed into action early. So it stands to reason that his position towards the back of the pack of starting QBs is understandable and no surprise. No? Is it too much to ask to give this 2nd year QB, who's only started 10 games, and who's played exactly as was predicted, at least 6 more games before making a final judgement and calling him a hoax?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 I'm seeing double!! I hope it was all a HUGE smokescreen T - 5 days 2 hours and counting
TheBackupQB Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 Kyle Orton is a journey, we complained about Tuel and we saw Thad look horrible...everyone said we need a back up just in case....unless EJ is completely horrible or injuried Orton wont see see play time Kyle Orton is a journeymen, we complained about Tuel and we saw Thad look horrible...everyone said we need a back up just in case....unless EJ is completely horrible or injuried Orton wont see see play time
Fan in San Diego Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 At half time in the Tampa game I believe tasker mentioned that they only ran 6 or 7 different plays so I agree with your assessment. I think Joe B or Simon made the same comment as well. I heard that as well. Which is why I'm not to concerned about how the pre season looked.

The_Dude Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Can you please tell me how much he will suck. Your constant "he sucks" posts are really good and add to the conversation. No, I'm not going to tell you how EJ sucks. I do doubt EJs ability to develop into a quality starting QB but that has nothing to do with my post... You basically suggested that every bad practice and preseason was a result of a predetermined strategy to lull the Bears asleep. That's kinda crazy man. And just because I don't think EJ is good and you do doesn't mean we can't be cool. I may disagree with you but it is possible to say 'I see your point, but I disagree.'
nonprophet Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 You have to remember that EJ has been being coached by Marrone and Hackett for a full year now and I'm sure they could have easily made him regress that much. Blame them only indirectly, the crack quarterback coach they hired managed to make all three quarterbacks regress this offseason: EJ looks bad, Tuel has been demoted to the practice squad and Lewis was cut. Nice work.
CodeMonkey Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Yup, the biggest smokescreen in the history of the NFL! Even bigger than the ones pulled off by ChaNix! Edited September 2, 2014 by CodeMonkey
H2o Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 Ahhhh boy. A hoax eh? Look, I'm not saying the guy flat out sucks, but he doesn't really look that much improved after a full offseason of work and familiarity with the system. He actually seems to be staring guys down more. My concern with EJ is not the physical talent he possesses, but it is the mental side of everything. That same mental side of everything will have a lot to do with how he performs using his physical ability on the field. If he can read a defense he can step up in rythm and make the throw which he CAN do. If he's just looking for a place to get rid of the ball or locking onto one option then he is going to hesitate, mechanics could get off, he'll make throws out of rythm, and give the ball away. I hope EJ has been pulling the wool over our eyes and he really has it all down mentally because I know physically he has all the tools necessary to be a good starting QB in the NFL.
MarkyMannn Posted September 2, 2014 Posted September 2, 2014 ....unless EJ is completely horrible or injuried Orton wont see see play time I guess we WILL BE seeing Orton
