Sweet Lou Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 There is an unmeasurable amount of opinion, both negative and positive, from the fans, the media and I'm sure the coaches in confidental meetings as well, regarding Manual's future and rightly so. From a football "business" standpoint (Myself thinking like a new GM; et.al) If I needed to, or wanted to reposition my team to take a coveted player in the next draft I would try to package EJ Manuel and another player of equal value (or potential value) to move up to the first round so I could give our team a better opportunity to draft what I would consider a future franchise player. Is there a coveted player (QB) in the next draft that would warrant this kind of trade ? Thoughts ? Opinions welcome. However, try and stay civil my fellow fans. I'm betting some of you can't do it Lou
Sweet Lou Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Real easy name to mis-spell. I did it too. Sorry guys. Think # 3 not three speed. Lou
transient Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Who is Manual? He's the guy who comes in the package to explain to you how this whole thing works. Most people just throw him in the garbage without ever looking at him.
Dirtbag Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 i wouldn't want to risk whiffing on the draft pick. the bills should just trade him to denver for peyton straight up since it's more of a sure thing.
sjjr Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Let's see what the kid has the rest of the season before giving up on him. He's very young, only had 14 starts and has been effective at times.
Bangarang Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 lol at thinking we could package EJ to get a 1st rounder. He stinks and has little value.
Alaska Darin Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Manuel wouldn't even fetch a draft pick at this point. Teams would be willing to wait for him to be released and give him a minimum offer. They watch film too.
FireChan Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 lol at thinking we could package EJ to get a 1st rounder. He stinks and has little value. Package me for a first rounder.
mannc Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 We could probably package EJ and our second round pick for another team's second round pick. Probably.
Snorom Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Manuel will never be a consistent starter. He wasnt accurate in college and he isn't accurate in the pros. Accuracy cannot be taught, EJ is a backup, it is time ot face that fact. I wanted him to succeed but he has demonstrated every negative trait that I ignroed and let slide when we drafted him You could package EJ but you're going to have to throw in MAJOR PLAYER Because EJ would just be a side dish tossed in to sweeten a much better deal, not 1 single team wil be clamoring for EJ There is less than a 0% chance that a 2nd rd pick and EJ gets you up into the 1st round, nobody is making this trade Edited November 16, 2014 by Snorom
TSOL Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Manuel has no value because he stinks Jeeze Ward, i think youre being a little hard on the beaver Who would ever give up anything for EJ? Do you tell your kids that theyll never amount to anything too? Who is Manual? EJ MANUEL QB #3 Height: 6-5 Weight: 240 Age: 24 College: Florida State Hometown: Virginia Beach, VA Experience: 2 QUICK STATS (2014): TDS 5 INT 3 YDS 838 RTG 80.3
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Who would ever give up anything for EJ? Chip Kelly would take him and think he could develop him. Just like Sanchez. There are plenty of coaches who laugh that Nate Hackett is a NFL OC and was trusted to develop a young QB.

The Frankish Reich Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 We could probably package EJ and our second round pick for another team's second round pick. Probably. I'd say some coach/OC with a lot of confidence (overconfidence?) would take a flyer on him, thinking he could turn the physical talent into an effective NFL QB. But that means something like 6th round pick, not 1st round pick. Look at it this way: Terrelle Pryor doesn't have a job, and you can sign him for nothing.
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Chip Kelly would give up a first for EJ? Get real man. Never said that. But if he could get him for a low draft pick, he'd do it. He also wanted to get Spiller if the price was right.
