Webster Guy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 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.
Big Blitz Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 EJ, Hoyer, Grayson. Don't care who wins it. Improve the oline. Sign another Guard. Resign Hughes. Restructure Mario. Try and get Revis. Let's go.
dave mcbride Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 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.
qblax16 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 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!!

So many of his throws were way, way off - ones in which the receivers had zero chance to make a play on the ball. 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.
sir andrew Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 EJ. Will be nice to actually have a competent offensive staff to help him.
Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 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. He was also inaccurate on many short throws as well.
Talley56 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Gonna throw in a surprise pick and say Nick Foles (which I would be satisfied with).
qwksilver Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited February 28, 2015 by qwksilver
K-Apps Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 At this point as long it's not Sanchez or Hoyer, it will good enough for me
