Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Not with this QB coach. Too much thinking. Let the kid throw the damn ball. Too many guru`s wanting a make believe job.
Lurker Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I voted "no" but it doesn't mean he can't be a very good backup, which is an important and valued position on any team. He's not expensive and seems to be a good locker room presence. In a league that only has 16 or so 'franchise' QBs, this fact shouldn't warrent the "cut him now" retoric...
San-O Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 This poll stemmed from a conversation elsewhere. There are no "it depends" options. Do you believe that he will be a franchise QB? You should KNOW you can't ask simple questions like this...
Rob's House Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I think I don't know, because it's too early to make that decision, so I voted "yes", because I think he has a chance. Translation: I didn't like the question so I gave the answer to a different one.

Kirby did this to prove that my assessment that more people feel EJ can succeed over those that are pure detractors to be incorrect.
Dorkington Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Translation: I didn't like the question so I gave the answer to a different one. I'll delete my vote, my apologies.
Jets Hater Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 From what I've seen so far, I voted NO. Could it change ? Of course.
LB3 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 For a reference let's use Ryan Tannehill as the cutoff for franchise QB. I voted yes prior to this post, but this cements it for me. If Tannehill is how low the bar is set, then EJ absolutely could achieve franchise status.
MarkAF43 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I say yes. Currently I live by the belief he wasn't coached or game planned to his strengths and feel that the coaching staff had him so afraid to make a mistake he was thinking far too much instead of just making plays.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 then you let the EJ haters win. Kirby did this to prove that my assessment that more people feel EJ can succeed over those that are pure detractors to be incorrect. I did it EXACTLY for the opposite reason. Who thinks he will be a franchise QB and who thinks that he won't be? We don't need a bunch of disclaimers. I think Derek Carr will be and Blake Bortles won't be. I may be wrong on that but I can't look back on it in 5 years to make my decision. No sour grapes because you thought that only 7 people on here don't think that he is a franchise guy. My guess is about 50/50.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I say yes. Currently I live by the belief he wasn't coached or game planned to his strengths and feel that the coaching staff had him so afraid to make a mistake he was thinking far too much instead of just making plays. That's right. The Qb coach screwed him up. Like I said. Let him throw the damn ball.
Dorkington Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I voted yes prior to this post, but this cements it for me. If Tannehill is how low the bar is set, then EJ absolutely could achieve franchise status. The question isn't if he could, it's if he will be. You should delete your vote unless you are absolutely sure he will be, or won't be a franchise QB.
johnwalter Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 this thread/poll might burn TBD to the ground
ALF Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 If EJ is not a franchise QB it could be many more years till the Bills find one. I would hate to finish last to get a #1 draft pick.
Dorkington Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Would like a mod/admin to add a "maybe/unsure either way" option to the poll, heh.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I voted no based on what I've seen, but I'm definitely rooting for him, or whoever the Bills QB is, to succeed
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Is there a point to this? A specific reason why there are no middle ground answers? Edited February 27, 2015 by The Real Buffalo Joe
Hapless Bills Fan Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I'll delete my vote, my apologies. Since "franchise QB" is a term used to mean anything anyone thinks it means from "Joe Montana Clone" to "competent NFL QB who can win with a strong D" (eg Flacco, E. Manning), I don't think the question is that definite.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 27, 2015 Author Posted February 27, 2015 I tried not to be vague with, "Do you believe that EJ will be a franchise QB?" You either believe that he will become one or your don't.
