HamSandwhich Posted August 23, 2015 Author Posted August 23, 2015 Nice thought... But if Rex was that smart, he'd still be coaching the Jets.... EJ is no brainiac either. One of the major downfalls of EJ's career was coming in contact with fellow mental midgets Hackett and Marrone... He literally didn't get a chance to become what he could have been... I suppose it's unfair to call EJ dumb... EJ was more like a BLANK SLATE with the potential to be filled-up with all sorts of good stuff... As long as someone reasonably smart was holding the chalk, EJ had a chance... Fast forward to now.... EJ is once again a blank slate... A little dirty from all the bad chalk that had to be erased, but nonetheless EMPTY.. Years have passed with no progress (through no fault of his own.) The question now, is whether to continue, or abandon the project altogether... Possibly giving EJ the fresh start he deserves.... I can see myself backing this option... I think KC would make an excellent trade partner for this venture... They need help at WR... We definitely need help at QB... EJ plus a wideout (Goodwin or Hogan) for Chase Daniel would be an awesome deal for both parties.... That's just a rough cut... Not sure what that would entail, but I tink it'd be great for EJ to be around one of the sharpest minds in the game (Andy Reid), and I think Daniel's arm is underrated at this point in his career.... That's the pistol... there's a full clip inside, and one in the chamber.... Just needs a finger to go ahead and squeeze. -Any takers? I think he's made it clear, he will not make the same mistakes. An entertaining post, Ham. But I think you're way over-thinking it. Not really overthinking it all, more like a food for thought/fun/entertaining thread. Sounds like it's getting the job done.
Beerball Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 EJ's last pass was 10' over the receiver. So.....probably not.his last 3 passes were, IMO, picture perfect. (The last was the conversion) At least get your facts straight.
FireChan Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Ahem...it was Russ Tyler, not Fulton Reed. "It's knucklepuck time!" The Dentist said "DA SHOOTAH."
KellyToTasker Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) You sound like you're in hiding from the very same situation. Or I'm kidding. Have you seen Mel Gibson in Conspiracy Theory? Edited August 23, 2015 by KellyToTasker

LB3 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) The Dentist said "DA SHOOTAH." He did say earlier that Tyler was "da shootah", but in this scene, it was "da goalie!" Edited August 23, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall
Rocky Landing Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Someone who is good at navigating this site could put together a chronological list of EJ Fanboy Threads, and we could see the evolution of EJ fandom, which has led us to this thread-- CONSPIRACY!!! When (and IF, of course) EJ gets cut, I assume there would be five more threads on the subject, vaguely following the five stages of grief: Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance Although, that last one may be a long time coming...

I certainly am not a fan boy, I want the best QB to win. I think EJ has the highest ceiling, so if he wins that means he is likely better than the other two. That's a good thing for our franchise. If not, then we'll roll with TT or Cassel. Whatever happens, I believe that this coaching staff will choose the best man. May the best man win.

Rock, I didn't know you were such a Kubler-Ross fan. I go through these 5 phases every year after we don't make the playoffs. I'm getting good at it.
....lybob Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Could EJ start? let me put it this way, just because the local media have been reading tea leaves and deciphering the meaning of Rex scratching his left ball more than his right ball doesn't mean they know crap - I think this is still a three horse race and even if EJ doesn't start in the beginning of the season I believe small running QBs have trouble staying healthy and immobile older QBs have trouble staying healthy too.

No, the biggest EJ fanboys are currently in the 2nd stage: there's already denial that the coaching staff doesn't consider him the best QB in camp, and anger that he hasn't been given a fair chance. IF EJ did in fact get cut, there wouldn't be any more stages that we'd be able to see, they'd just leave the board on an 'extended business trip'. There would be normal discourse over a big story like that, along with some haters laughing TAO (not so much EJ-haters, but EJ fanboy-haters). As it was with JP. As it was with Drew. As it was with RJ. That's all IF EJ got cut. Right now, he certainly looks safe but there are 2 more PS games left to play.

I think you both are going through this same process with the fact that I'm not a fanboy? This was not a fanboy thread, just a fun conspiracy theory. I think he sits and develops, like a few others here think.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Why is it that THIS funny lighthearted thread brings out the vile in the non EJ "Fanboys"? Again its so freaking hypocritical you people don't like the label haters but you throw out Fanboys and Super Fans quite a lot. HGH Hypocrites Gotta be Hypocrite I guess. Cassel could start, TT could start or EJ could start. Just Freaking relax over peoples opinions Edited August 23, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever

If you say things like, "I think EJ has the highest ceiling..." you might be a fanboy. Be that as it may, intentional or not, this thread has become like a small life-raft for those with a stubbornly inflated opinion of EJ, to cling to in their belief that he is somehow larger than the sum of his parts.

I have never gotten the five stages done in correct order for some reason> regardless of the subject matter. But no reason these two concepts need to be mutually exclusive is there?

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Rex's Plan: Platoon ALL three. Wouldn't that blow everyone's mind. I think it would be pretty cool. LMAO...
