TaskerTough Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I think Whaley has cooled on EJ. He sounds disheartened.
Saint Doug Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I think Whaley has cooled on EJ. He sounds disheartened. I agree. His comments on the QBs, especially EJ, are very concerning. Well, it's still early...
BobbyC81 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I think Whaley has cooled on EJ. He sounds disheartened. Well, I look at it this way: After getting benched last season, EJ says when he gets another chance he's just going to air it out EJ works with a well-known QB guru in the off-season Whaley states that new head coach must be willing to give EJ a chance to start Rex Ryan announces a 3 QB competition One week into training camp, the reports from Rex Ryan and others are that EJ is still slow to release the ball and being indecisive so he is not "letting it rip" I hope that EJ develops into a viable starter sometime soon but right now it looks like "he is who he is"
3rdand12 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 I wonder why he doesn't seem to be comfortable just saying f it and let er go. He has a strong arm. He should be bruising hands by now. Make the WRs earn the catch. but throw some damned hardballs in these intermediate routes. screw leading them and touch passes. get those balls inflated Ernest J Manuel!
Mr. WEO Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 So how do you get the team to QB heaven Doug? Because QB hell this season could undermine the talent elsewhere. He should bring that up with the GM. oh, never mind....

I give them 3 all hell right now but its partly in kidding. i have the patience to wait till the 3rd preseason game for someone to look confident and hopefully a bit aggressive and have some reasonable success. too soon still. In Doug's position it not quite the proper thing, to lean toward a negative report on the most important and most questioned position on the team methinks.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 8-5: DOUG WHALEY ON WMCF 96.5 (14:49)
MyDogLuvsPB Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I wouldn't call Eli Manning a better player than the other two yet why is Eli considered a better?Simple put because of his Super Bowls. Why'd Eli win two Super Bowls? I think because the recently run Giants are a better run "franchise" than the Bengals and/or 49ers. He's not as bad as you think he is. Would love to have him on the Bills. I wonder why he doesn't seem to be comfortable just saying f it and let er go. He has a strong arm. He should be bruising hands by now. Make the WRs earn the catch. but throw some damned hardballs in these intermediate routes. screw leading them and touch passes. get those balls inflated Ernest J Manuel! Last year he showed some flashes. In a couple of games he had a 70% completion or better. However, there are games where he seems lost and indecisive. One can only hope that he has grasped the pro game in his third year but we shall see.
Thurman#1 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 No, it's being skewed that way by local media which is where the national media is going to get their info from Nonsense. It was "skewed" that way early because the QB were pretty bad the first few days. Now, they're showing signs of improvement. Which the media is noticing and pointing out. Nonsense. It was "skewed" that way early because the QB were pretty bad the first few days. Now, they're showing signs of improvement. Which the media is noticing and pointing out. It wasn't just the media that saw bad QB performances those first few days. The fan training camp reports were just as negative.
jester43 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I didn't listen to the interview. But I am curious, so i have to ask....which did he start more sentences with: "at the end of the day..." or "i/we look at it this way..."

Yesterday at work i made my first wager with a young buck. for lunch. He said Cassel Tyrod EJ would be the starting line up. I said flip it. Dont let me down EJ!!!
1billsfan Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I really think its the mental part of the game. Yesterday at work i made my first wager with a young buck. for lunch. He said Cassel Tyrod EJ would be the starting line up. I said flip it. Dont let me down EJ!!! I'm pleased about hearing reports of Taylor and Manuel both showing signs of shaking off the nerves of learning Roman's offense and starting to gain confidence and get into a groove. The stakes for tonights scrimmage and that first preseason game are absolutely huge for both Taylor and Manuel (I get the feeling Cassel's eventually going to be cut because he doesn't fit this offense). I really think one of them is going to shine and I can't wait for the 2015 starting QB to come into focus. I also think EJ is going to win the job. The Bills are building him up the right way by making him earn every inch of that starting job. It sounds like he's gaining confidence by seeing all the work starting to pay off in practice. If EJ doesn't win the job yet is showing much improvement then that settles the QB position even more having a young and hungry guy like that as your backup QB in case of an injury to Taylor or him not producing enough by midseason.
3rdand12 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 You are right! Tonight is big. Can he and Taylor make the progressions. Rex said both sides of the ball will be game planning. so this aint no rehearsal practice.
Very wide right Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I love the "QB purgatory" line -- LOL,Ive been saying this for the last two years and it got me labeled a troll.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Let me ask this again? Why would the GM say something that "dumb"? The Bills are being ridiculed for it!!! Why isn't Rex naming a starter until Sept 10th or there about? Smoke Screen and Mind Games?
jester43 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Please listen and report back. i just can't. he seems a lot smarter when i don't listen to his interviews.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) Let me ask this again? Why would the GM say something that "dumb"? The Bills are being ridiculed for it!!! Why isn't Rex naming a starter until Sept 10th or there about? Smoke Screen and Mind Games? again, the only people ridiculing him are those who didn't actually listen to the interview. That's not really Whaley's fault and I doubt he cares. I don't think that part is a smokescreen. The area comments on when a starter will be named... Very likely a smokescreen Edited August 9, 2015 by YoloinOhio
