If they aren't playing they must be awesome.

Damn, you beat me to it.

I did not know this, obviously.....very enlightening. I'm glad I made my stupid opinion b/c it caused me to learn something new today !

1st home pre-season game last year was against Tampa Bay.

 

Here you go:

I was at the game and was one of the "boo-ers." I was booing the entire offense + coaching staff for looking so unprepared to play football afer having looked bad in the HOF game. Receivers that quit routes, slipped on the their breaks and an o-line that took three consecutive penalties are amongst my recollections. The offensive line that day was a sign of trouble to come. So for you to say that the crowd was booing just EJ is a bit presumptive. The 1st team o did start the second half and played well against whomever Tampa Bay was playing.

Like I said. I wouldn't read too much into this, Tyrod will get the next start and Manuel will get start number 3 and starter will be figured out by week 4 of preseason.

 

I strongly doubt it. Manuel got his start in the scrimmage. Whomever starts game 3 will be the guy the coaching staff is trying to get ready for the regular season. Preseason game #4 is for the bubble players to sort themselves out.

 

In fact, if Manuel is still taking reps with the 3rd team this week you could make the case that the competition is already down to Cassel vs Taylor.

EJ is a great kid, has good size, good work ethic and would be a good leader but his throws are off the mark. You can't teach him to be more accurate. He will have to improve that on his own. I like him but if he can't produce on a regular basis he won't be here much longer. I know he does have flashes of brilliance on occasion but they are too far and between. In my humble opinion (which I know doesn't mean squat) Tyrod is more valuable. He keeps the defense honest because he can run. Defenses are going to have to take it in to account and have somebody on him, and that might leave somebody else open. I wish EJ well and I hope he succeeds, just not against us!

He's been making accurate, downfield throws in the blue/white game and last night. It might be a sign of some degree of improvement so there's that.

 

I think back to the coaching search and how Whaley was reportedly talking up EJ and saying how the previous staff did him no favors. Rex is hired and says something to the effect that there was a "need to develop EJ." It's almost like buying into that was a condition of employment. Removing EJ from the competiton but keeping him on the roster would be consistent with that. Cutting him would not.

No actually the media asked Rex last night if Tyrod starting next week meant that EJ starts game 3.

 

He stammered a bit and decided that.....no.....it doesn't mean EJ will start game 3.

 

Then after a couple moments of talking he remembered that EJ got the start in the scrimmage........so basically I think he's good on seeing EJ with the #1's. :lol:

Ya know, if you take away that one pass, EJ would be 3 for 6 and 25 yards. I think it's pretty clear that it's time to cut him.

Jeez, do that for the other two QBs. Cassel threw one pass over ten yards and if you take away Goodwin's run after catch what did Taylor have?

Lunacy. Tyrod is gonna get his legs separated from his body with the way he plays. Meh is great for the 4-5 yard passing game. Ej's the only one with real NFL quarterback potential. Yea, he's gotta grasp the speed of the game, play calm and command the offense. You guys calling for those other two are simply out thinking yourselves. I said it last year and I'll say it again, our best chance at success is EJ playing to his potential. But take it for what it's worth, this is just the opinion of a guy that's been pretty focused on pro football only since like 1980.

 

EJ will not be cut.

And if you took away Taylor's legs, he's no different than Cassel. These guys are bums.

Serious question to the people who think Manuel is going to be cut ... his contract is 100% guaranteed, what incentive is there for the Bills to cut him?

He's so bad that he's an embarrassment to the Bills, and he smells bad.
