YoloinOhio Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah. The tweets that came in yesterday said that no one was really good or bad. Then later, I guess John Murphy said differently. That EJ looked like he was regressing while the other two were holding steady. while it does look like he's in the 3rd spot atm, I didn't gather that he was regressing. Rather, that he's not progressing. He's the same. The other 2 are making progress in the offense. That's what it sounds like to me from the media reports.
Fan in Chicago Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Bills top rookies impressing early Can you please get with the program and discuss the QB situation ? This news about other players is just plain boring and distracting.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Been gone a week, glad to see things haven't changed!
Wayne Cubed Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 while it does look like he's in the 3rd spot atm, I didn't gather that he was regressing. Rather, that he's not progressing. He's the same. The other 2 are making progress in the offense. That's what it sounds like to me from the media reports. I imagine practicing with the 3's make things tricky. That's not necessarily an excuse but I can imagine it makes getting things done difficult.
YoloinOhio Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Was IK there last night? I don't think so. Taking physical today.

The other 2 are making progress in the offense. That's what it sounds like to me from the media reports. Thanks and well put. I view it similarly, though I haven't seen as much progress in the Cassel reports besides that one very good practice a couple days ago. I also mistook the Murphy quote, he's pretty much in line with your thinking. Hopefully TT keeps progressing if EJ doesn't.

I also mistook the Murphy quote, he's pretty much in line with your thinking. Hopefully TT keeps progressing if EJ doesn't.[ According to Sal's report, and i think Sal has been pretty balanced since taking over for Joe B, TT has been consistently progressing. And, as I've mentioned before, Cassel and EJ have taken their turns for having the worst day. I have yet to see Tyrod have it.

And, as I've mentioned before, Cassel and EJ have taken their turns for having the worst day. I have yet to see Tyrod have it. I've predicted on multiple occasions I thought EJ would wind up with the job -- and I'm not giving up on that until the next two preseason games -- but I agree with your premise that Taylor does appear to be the one QB who is consistently progressing.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I imagine practicing with the 3's make things tricky. That's not necessarily an excuse but I can imagine it makes getting things done difficult. Didn't I read the 3's O was going against the 1's D?

Believe me, I desperately want EJ to put it all together and flash the talent he's shown at times for whoke games. But Tyrod at 70% of Russell Wilson would be a nice consolation prize.
VABills Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Didn't I read the 3's O was going against the 1's D? Only here. It gives some folks false hope.

Shhhh...i got chastised by an individual when i mentioned that the other day... But yes, it was reported AGAIN last night that EJ was running the 3's O against the 1's D. If EJ can make somewhat progress running the 3's O at that point....he should excel with the 1's against others D' But that is my wishful thinking Only here. It gives some folks false hope. Yeah I said it...and "made it up" or so was implied... Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 15h15 hours ago EJ hit Goodwin on out near sideline but then all runs after that. Was 3rd team O vs. 1st team D.

Last time I checked..we are talking recent (after scrimmage time). And yes, it was reported that EJ was given spot duty with the 1's this week. However, was primarily running with the 3's or otherwise known as the scout team... Never said Cassel was playing 1 O' against 3 D'..but can see how you can infer that, assuming that I must be experiencing Tunnel vision and believing that only the 2 O can play against the 2 D.... All I said is that EJ playing with the 3 O' against the 1 D' will make him a lot better of a QB....he plays against the best with a weak supporting cast.. Well I guess Sammy and Shady are 3rd string (so I guess you can assume Grey and Woods are also 3rd....remember..you brought that up!! ) Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso 17h17 hours ago Mix & match here actually. McCoy & Watkins out there with 3s with EJ. Manuel lofts perfect flag route to O'Leary in tight coverage. Dropped.

My only point was everyone that is an EJ supporter is saying his only chance is with the 3's and they are going against the 1 defense. That is completely incorrect and everyone is mixing and matching. The other point is that Cassel and Taylor are playing a lot better in the 1 and 2 against the 1 defense and EJ is throwing INT's, fumbling or hitting tents with the 3's against the 3's.

As negative as Joe B may be on the anti-EJ train, Chris Trapasso is such an EJ homer its just as bad. He honestly tries to justify the throw into the tent like it was completely normal.
