H2o Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He has exhibited the same things that the scouting reports said about him. That class as a whole is nothing special. Decent young man, but not a good NFL QB. Best of luck to you elsewhere and in life in general EJ.

A fire may be close.
Leroi Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The FO stance has not changed on EJ. They gave him plenty of opportunities. Best of luck in your next chapter. Imo
boyst Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 This is just a ripple in the pool. For better or for worse he offers this team more then the other three candidates. Cassel is limited but a game manager who can avoid losing games but will be no more better then Orton. Simms is the QB you'd keep on the PS or as the 3rd on most teams. And Taylor is a flash in the pan and succeeding because its easy to tuck the ball and run when still learning the offense. To me, I have yet to voice an opinion, but if i am voting for a QB here I am saying none of the above. Brewsters Millions style.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The FO stance has not changed on EJ. They gave him plenty of opportunities. Best of luck in your next chapter. Imo so it's official? EJ has been cut? He'll do well in NE**
Doc Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The FO stance has not changed on EJ. They gave him plenty of opportunities. Best of luck in your next chapter. Imo That would be genius. After TT had the worst day of the 3 today.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 EJ Manuel: "I Take My Hat Off To Our DB's" (3:10)QB EJ Manuel talks about the success of the Bills' WR's during the first Cleveland joint practice and accredits it to having to compete against the Bills' DB's each day, his take on the QB competition and more. Listen to what EJ had to say for yourself.
Leroi Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 so it's official? EJ has been cut? He'll do well in NE** Nothing is official unless it comes from a Bills press release... Have you received a text alert? Imo
Joe Miner Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 When reading this or any story, you have to ask yourself if the article is written around the quotes and the tone of the interview, or if the quotes are selected to fit the tone of the article.
Delete This Account Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 EJ Manuel: "I Take My Hat Off To Our DB's" (3:10) Listen to what EJ had to say for yourself. Sure he said that, but that doesn't include what he told The AP after he spoke to the rest of the media. jw When reading this or any story, you have to ask yourself if the article is written around the quotes and the tone of the interview, or if the quotes are selected to fit the tone of the article. The full story is out. He was asked if he felt his day's were numbered, and this is the response he gave. He was then asked if he has thought of "somewhere else," and his response is included in the full version of the piece. jw
Buffaloed in Pa Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That would be genius. After TT had the worst day of the 3 today. Yeah I just don`t get it. T.T. running against non game planned defenses.He does not seem to throw the ball any better than the other two QBs. I`m still on the fence.

Really? What is the guy supposed to say? He has no clue, any more than anyone else on this board as to what the thinking is, (Oh, except for LeRoy of course ). He gave the same response ANYONE would give under the circumstances. I just have to play well and let things fall where they may. Big Effen deal! What a story! What was he supposed to say? "Oh no, they're going to start me. I'm winning the competition, can't you idiots see that?"

BuffaloBob Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I can't help but imagine you've poised all these questions already convinced that zero answers exist. Well, saying that was much easier than actually positing some alternatives I would guess.
LeGOATski Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He could say any number of other things....like, "I'm still in this competition. Just have to keep playing well."
midland Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Still to order to pack his belongs, however seems to me it will be an uphill climb for him. Preseason games are so vanilla on defense game planning and offense game planning, so going against backups did spark my interest. Even starting the next preseason game won't be like regular season game. Personally I would like to see the choice made on the Qb soon, and let that individual get timing down, and to allow coaches to set players for who ever it is.
BuffaloBob Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 He could say any number of other things....like, "I'm still in this competition. Just have to keep playing well." n response to a bunch of media people peppering him with questions about how come he is playing with the threes? He has already said what you suggested, today in fact. At some point, in response to a media that can't wait to see him whacked, you finally have to say look, all I can do is what I can do. If what you people are insinuating is true, things will work themselves out. BFD!! Oh, he knows he's on his way out now!! LMAO! What a story!

I don't try to read between the lines too much with these snippets of quotes. And I do agree that some members of the media try to push a certain story line instead of just reporting the facts. Joe B is the worst, IMO. I'd like to hear that interview myself, but it does seem that he's just saying "I'm taking care of business and things will work themselves out."
