YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) Uh just got off Twitter and I see Joe B is melting down responding to his followers, attacking back and correcting grammar. Professionals don't do that. Or at least they shouldn't. Just block them, Joe. Don't be that guy. If you are secure in your work you don't bother with that stuff. Edited August 10, 2015 by YoloinOhio
26CornerBlitz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Matt Cassel: "It Will Be A Great Opportunity" (6:58)Bills' QB Matt Cassel talks about the opportunity to start on Friday against Carolina, his consistency, working with Sammy Watkins and more.
jletha Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Why do people think that all Bills beat reporters have an anti-EJ conspiracy? Seems similar to last year when no one took the camp press accounts of his struggles seriously. I think its because people dont want to admit that EJ isnt that good so they look for confirmation bias. If the reporters had a pro-EJ conspiracy nobody would be calling that into question and asking them to pump the brakes on the praise. They dont want the truth until it hits them in the face in the first 4 weeks. Its exactly like last year.
GG Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Despite the lovers and haters making the most noise, I think most of us understand that it would be great if he emerged given his physical skill set, but are concerned over his inconsistency showing no signs of abating. I don't think the media cares who looks better than who - they just want something that sounds alarming (aside from JoeB, who i think is now on a warpath against the twitter dissenters) 100% correct. There may be more scrutiny of EJ, but that's because this is the camp he's supposed to seize the reigns.

Seems similar to last year when no one took the camp press accounts of his struggles seriously. It's primarily JoKe B with the obvious confirmation bias. He gets called out on twitter as well here on TSW for it.

Tim Graham's twitter is also him just bickering with his followers.
shibuya Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Joe Buscaglia: "EJ's continued struggles with commanding the huddle are highlighted by his receivers running the wrong routes." Wow, how the hell does he know that. that has to be the most ridiculous opinion from him, and that says alot
NickelCity Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Wow, how the hell does he know that. that has to be the most ridiculous opinion from him, and that says alot I believe that was a joke by LeGOATski, not a real tweet.
The Wiz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 It's primarily JoKe B with the obvious confirmation bias. He gets called out on twitter as well here on TSW for it. I don't think he has any bias toward EJ From his twitter: EJ Manuel, everybody RT @Matt_Bove: He was wide open tho pic.twitter.com/1y6X6hwWbX

Dorkington Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 It says something about Joe B when people believe the satirical posts haha

Professionals don't do that. Or at least they shouldn't. Just block them, Joe. Don't be that guy. If you are secure in your work you don't bother with that stuff. I was a Joe B fan...I really was...Even though I did not agree with the guy on everything, and even knowing he was certainly not qualified to be a "Draft expert..." I really did not care because I respect his work ethic and his efforts... But this EJ thing with him has turned me against the guy...And this is coming from a fan who has unquestionably been critical of EJ in the past...But there's a difference between legit critical reporting and campaigning...And Joe B, IMHO, has been campaigning against EJ from day #1...Ignoring some REAL important facts while doing so, and really not even trying to hide it... Like I stated in another thread, in his first 14 starts there is an undeniable direct correlation between good EJ and the Bills ability to run the ball...Basically...When the Bills ran the ball well EJ was good enough and they won...When the Bills did not run the ball well and too much was asked of the young QB he basically sucked, or at least he was not good enough...The Bills had 5 decent games running the ball with EJ at QB...They were 4-1 in those games and the only loss was that Toronto fumble debacle vs Atlanta... Now...I realize there will be games every QB has to take over and win when the Offense can't run the ball...But when you can't run the ball worth a darn in 2/3 of your games, and your QB is a young project, what exactly do you expect from him?...I don't think EJ will ever be a 65-70% completion guy...I think he will frustrate everyone at times no matter how long he is in the league...But anyone who judged the kid absolutely based on his first two years is simply doing so unfairly...And Joe B is right at the front of that line...Good grief I could actually understand it a bit if EJ had a Manziel-type past...But the kid is everything you want in a QB off the field...I really don't mind the legit criticism...There's plenty in EJ's game to be critical of...But this seems more like a witch hunt...It's shoddy...

I'm the same way. I don't care if the reporting is one way or the other - there are good throws and bad throws from all QBs. None of the QBs are very good, it's no secret, and no one expected them to light up TC. It's the unnecessary snarkiness and condescension that is tacked on all.the.time that is completely obnoxious.

tennesseeboy Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 But...but...Cassel is starting the first preseason game! It seems to be pointing to Cassell from what I'm reading on this board and in various articles. Tyrod or EJ had to make a move to get the spot and it appears they haven't to date. Cassell might be an improvement over Orton, and if we have to go with one of the three I'd take the guy least likely to lose the game with dumb moves. I wish we had other choices, but Cassell is looking like the guy...at least for now.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Camp Highlight: Cassel Long Pass to Clay (0:31)Watch as Matt Cassel finds tight end Charles Clay down the left side for a long pass play. Camp Highlight: Cassel Long Touchdown to Watkins (0:26) Watch as Matt Cassel finds a wide receiver Sammy Watkins downfield for a long touchdown.
Wayne Cubed Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 I know these reporters want to tweet about the QBs because it generates retweets, likes and views but honestly I don't care about who they think is winning. By all accounts Trent Edwards was winning the QB job a couple training camps ago.
NickelCity Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Camp Highlight: Cassel Long Pass to Clay (0:31) Camp Highlight: Cassel Long Touchdown to Watkins (0:26) Those were nice throws.
