Once again the last New England game would have been extremely helpful for the entire organization to have EJ prepare for and play the entire game. (our goal is supposedly to win a championship, not waste valuable chances to develop and evaluate critical players in real game situations so we can get a meaningless win to make ourselves feel better for a few days)

 

If the Oline gets the proper personnel and coaching, and Roman is the real deal, I think EJ will win the job in camp.

 

Gotta let him use his legs to buy some time, and give him more audible leeway. The kid has won a bunch of NFL games with subpar coaching and Oline play, he's not done in the NFL.

Not sure where to find completion percentage to WRs... but ESPN's splits do have completion percentages for air travel... or at least thats how I read it.

 

Alex Smith's second year (low point) - 11+ yards - 53/131 - 40.5%

Alex Smith's eighth year (high point) - 11+ yards - 30/56 - 53.7%

 

Will take quite a bit of time for other QBs, but is certainly doable to dig through.

 

Edit: Looks like ESPN doesn't have these stats prior to 2002, so some QBs will be out for this...

Eli Manning's first year (low point) - 11+ yards - 20/60 - 33.33%

Eli Manning's eleventh year (high point) - 11+ yards - 93/180 - 51.7%

EJ Manuel - 11+ yards

2013 - 34/87 - 39.1% (10 games)

2014 - 13/40 - 32.5% (4 games)

Total - 47/127 - 37% (14 games)

 

Not starting out great, obviously [/st. Doug]

This is the real issue. Having watched those games, it's not that he was just inaccurate on deeper throws (he clearly was), but how inaccurate he was. So many of his throws were way, way off - ones in which the receivers had zero chance to make a play on the ball.

EJ Manuel not by default.

 

Improve the oline. Sign another Guard. Resign Hughes. Restructure Mario. Try and get Revis.

Let's go.

 

What a plan that would be!!

Guess we'll have to find a stat that tells us the level of inaccuracy on those throws, to see if it's possible for EJ to improve or not.

I'm going to say Foles. IIgles need draft picks to get up to 5 (in front of jets to grab Mariota). We give them #50 this year and a 3rd next.
