Lawren87 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I'm all for putting EJ back in, simply because the offense is producing the same (if not worse) in terms of scoring points. Yes.. EJ struggled and at times the offense looked terrible, Orton does a better job of making the offense look like a "Profesional" offense but do to the fact that he can't run the ball even a little the red zone offense is actually worse with him in the game... The common denominator is whomever is calling plays and designing the game plan. Long story long... let's not get down on them too much... While highly unlikely we can still finish 11-5. I say put EJ in simply because the threat of the QB running (even tho EJ doesn't do it enough) will keep the defense somewhat honest. Optimism not pessimism (but I don't blame any Bills fan for not believing) Edited November 14, 2014 by Lawren87
sjjr Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Get him back in there....at worst he gets 6 more starts and know if he's improving or not. Maybe he can give them a spark though too....
cage Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 he also said he never thought about going for it on fourth down during the chiefs game. this begs the question, exactly what is going on in his mind during the game? Exactly... I was saying the same thing on that last play as the announcers were questioning whether Orton had the arm strength to reach the end zone.
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Why not we can see how bad he really does suck to convince the organization that we need a new QB for the future
fridge Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 EJ was 2-2. Orton was 3-3. QB's were just as consistent as their terrible HC, OC, and game plan. You guys were excited when EJ was playing smart football and we were 2-0. Orton had everyone pumped up at 5-3. Two games above .500, then the team outcoaches themselves. Twice in a season, folks.
ALLEN1QB Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Yes and fire everyone and make Schwartz HC
mead107 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 We got rid of Lewis going 500 after last year. 5 million to go 500 bring back EJ and let's find out what he's got from sitting on bench.
Best Player Available Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Yes and fire everyone and make Schwartz HC Look at Schwatrtzs head coaching record! Why would any team want him? he sucks. he is fine where he is.he was handed a Ferrari on D all he does is put the keys in it.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Yes it is. The playoffs are out of reach. Have a seat Mr Orton. We have a departing gift for you ...
Homey D. Clown Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 After seeing Orton suck the last two weeks, Why the hell not? Because He's not even close to an NFL level QB. The one thing I was happy to see was this team pulling the plug on a QB for once when it was becoming very clear that he's not very good, unlike the eternal suffering we experienced with Lostman, Cap'n checkdown, and fitztragic.
Dorkington Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Because He's not even close to an NFL level QB. The one thing I was happy to see was this team pulling the plug on a QB for once when it was becoming very clear that he's not very good, unlike the eternal suffering we experienced with Lostman, Cap'n checkdown, and fitztragic. Yet. As we've seen with Tannehill, development might take a couple years. Orton is better than EJ at the moment, but we're out of the playoff hunt basically. So why not play EJ and see if he can develop?
Best Player Available Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Time for EJ, so there will be no doubt that next year. he will be the third string clip board holder on another team. Please Marrone and Whaley put him in and seal your fate!
26CornerBlitz Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 @MatthewFairburn If you missed it, Doug Marrone said the #Bills haven't considered going back to EJ Manuel, but maybe they should: http://ow.ly/EfFKk
CodeMonkey Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I'd start Manuel in the two "easy" games, Jests and Raiders, to give him a little more experience anyway. Let Orton play the others. Edited November 14, 2014 by CodeMonkey
Fadingpain Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 We're not making the playoffs. Why not get him some more experience? The fact of the matter is it just doesn't matter. This season is over, and neither EJ or Orton will have a thing to do with this team if and when we are ever good again. Throw EJ in, what the hell.
Wayne Cubed Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 From Marrone's perspective, if he has any chance to save his job, he won't go back to EJ, not a chance. Orton is still the "better" QB on the Bills. That's not saying much, but he gives them a better chance to win than EJ does and if Marrone is fighting for his job, that's who he'll stick with.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) After seeing Orton suck the last two weeks, Why the hell not? I was just going to post the same thing At least we will be saving money on Orton next year. No way he will be able to demand $5M+ per year CBF Edited November 14, 2014 by Canadian Bills Fan
CodeMonkey Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Now I read that Orton has a toe injury, so Manuel may be starting anyway on Sunday.
Campy Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 We got rid of Lewis going 500 after last year. 5 million to go 500 bring back EJ and let's find out what he's got from sitting on bench. Lewis was let go for coming into camp and playing terribly, not because of his W-L record as a starter.
