What a Tuel Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 You are asking for trouble with the title. The article doesn't say he won't make the roster, just that he will be up for trade. If no one accepts a trade offer, then he will still be on the roster. Therefore he will "make" the roster either way. There is really no point in cutting him, and they won't.
Dr. Fong Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Here's my bold prediction, EJ won't be the starter, but will be on the roster.

mead107 Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I think he will be the starter. Will not make me mad if he is or is not.
Kelly the Dog Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 You really think they carry 3 qbs? Cassell is a lock, and Rex (who's very much a 'thats my guy' coach) loves Taylor Most but not all do. And it always has to do with who is the starter and backup and third. The Bills will likely keep three. it's possible that EJ gets traded. I doubt they will cut him.
John from Riverside Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 I will root for EJ to be on the team because it will mean he has taken the next step

If bills want to cut ties with EJ this would be the time to do it unless he's the starter

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 You really think they carry 3 qbs? Cassell is a lock, and Rex (who's very much a 'thats my guy' coach) loves Taylor Cassel only counts as 1/2 a QB since we all know he wil never survive a full season.
DanInUticaTampa Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Way too early to tell. Ej and Cassel both have a history of injuries, so that alone is a huge factor if one of them gets injured in preseason. I personally think it is going to play out a lot like it did last year, with none of the QBs looking at good in preseason games. The 4 teams we are going up against in preseason all have pretty good defenses. I think whoever starts in the carolina game has the edge, it will be a home game against a weaker secondary than the other teams we face in preseason. And it will probably also be the player the coaches have the most faith in since it is the first preseason game. So barring injury, I think whoever starts in the panthers game starts week 1 in the regular season.
truth on hold Posted May 17, 2015 Author Posted May 17, 2015 Cassel only counts as 1/2 a QB since we all know he wil never survive a full season. how do they hide EJ in reserve? Put him on PS and he'll get lifted by another team.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 how do they hide EJ in reserve? Put him on PS and he'll get lifted by another team. I think they have to carry 3, unless Taylor is a total bust (which I would put at 50/50).
FluffHead Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 The signs keep pointing toward Tyrod being the starter. He is better than he has been getting credit for around here
DC Tom Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 The signs keep pointing toward Tyrod being the starter. He is better than he has been getting credit for around here What signs? Off-season rookie workouts? Does he have the prettiest feet of all the QBs available to Rex?

Wonder if chip will trade us Kiko for Manuel The signs keep pointing toward Tyrod being the starter.
