Rhode Island Red Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 To me, if the QB competition is real, then it's EJ's turn to start. I think the usual bromides about what is supposed to happen in the third and fourth preseason games are out the window, given our situation. Whether he lights it up or bombs, so be it, at least the air is clear for a decision to be made.
Fixxxer Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 #63? Woof. Please cut him now. Turrrrible I think I saw him playing OG against the Panthers, if he was him he didn't look that bad as LT. Maybe theyre were giving a shot there against the Browns.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 The only reason anyone says this is the crosser to Goodwin... Go find the clip and explain the route Goodwin is running. He makes a break back toward the LOS about halfway through his crossing pattern. That's wrong, hence I'm not so sure that play wasn't a result of a bad route just as much as throwing a wr into traffic. Woods was pissed, visibly, when passes didn't seem to be where they should have but its amazing how one play explodes into serial manslaughter. Some of EJ's throws were behind receivers. As they contorted to catch them they would get popped while in awkward positions.
Rocky Landing Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Some of EJ's throws were behind receivers. As they contorted to catch them they would get popped while in awkward positions. I have noticed that often, on crossing patterns, EJ hits the receiver in the shoulder which results in dropped passes.

You're nitpicking Edit: I see what you were referring to, and yes, it is much better for them to catch it in stride. However, they still need to catch the ball Edited August 23, 2015 by AlwaysBilleve

jletha Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 a guy Jeff Tuel just checked in for Jacksonville. He looks pretty good, maybe we could trade EJ for him.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 That has been less an issue this preseason. But it was a huge problem last year.Yep. He's a lot better this year on that.
ko12010 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Yep. He's a lot better this year on that. Wait...so maybe he's improved? I thought that was impossible?
Kelly the Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Wait...so maybe he's improved? I thought that was impossible?I think it was illegal to improve before but this year the NFL changed it so now you can. They can't help themselves from meddling.

enlightener Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 How can EJ be evaluated fairly when he is always playing with the second and third team offense ? He should be given a fair chance to win the job. he got to play with the first team, in 2013 and 2014...he sucked.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Wait...so maybe he's improved? I thought that was impossible? But he's still not starting.
apuszczalowski Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 It doesn't matter what the fans want. It's the coaches that are the ones making the decisions and if they need to see him in some preseason game with the 1st team they will give him a chance. It just might be possible they haven't seen enough from him to want to see him with the 1st team. Armchair coaches/GMs feel the need that it's important that they get to see players in situations so they can make their judgements on the player

bladiebla Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 he got to play with the first team, in 2013 and 2014...he sucked. So did Tannehill...
DerekJ Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Is anyone paying attention to the reports coming out of camp? Ryan says there's every possibility that they'll keep all three QBs. He also said they'd keep the best 53 regardless of position (that's a bit of a stretch, IMO), but considering that they are now seeing solid play out of all three I see this as a very real possibility. More development time for EJ. So did Tannehill... Who is now a solid QB (with a new contract, mind you). He looked just like EJ and possibly worse. The thing is that Tannehill was allowed to play through his growing pains.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 What are QB's paid millions of dollars to do? Lets ask K Orton, C Palmer, J Cutler, Sanchez, M Schaub...
JohnnyK Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 It seems to me all the QBs are playing well (which is what we wanted) but MC will start the Pitt game, then TT and finally the second half for EJ game 4 will be EJ's only start this preseason also MC starts the season TT will be used each game depending on how well it goes for him. EJ will be 3rd string but could start if MC gets hurt and TT will still see his usual time just a thought Go Bills!
