Against backups or not that's nothing but a good thing.
Madd Charlie Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Thats impossible since the Bills have the wost QB battle in the history of the NFL and Rex knows absolutely nothing about offense or developing a QB.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 You can talk about playing against backups but you still have to make plays and be accurate. For the first time in years we're seeing that in preseason. Remember all the years we had to make excuses why we looked so terrible?

Snorom Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 It refreshing to at least have QB's that are rated in the preseason but not much to see here outside of that
USMCBillsFan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 One thing I like about this analysis is that they account for dropped passes. EJ has hit a lot of receivers in the hands this preseason and had passes just flat out dropped. I want this kid to succeed and I want him to do it here. If it's not this year I hope we continue to develop him.
YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Who were the top 10 preseason QBs last year?not ours
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) OK Get the firing squad ready Gee I wonder ..... more Yards Per Play .... oh never mind' In 59 snaps Manuel (+3.0) is ranked sixth overall behind Chase Daniel (KC), Scott Tolzien (GB), Ben Rothlisberger (PITT) Andrew Luck (INDY), and Drew Brees (NO) in that order. Right behind him is Taylor (+2.7) who’s played 53 snaps, grades as the 10th overall quarterback and is the league’s top-rated rusher at the position. E.J. has more attempts through the air as he’s 13 of 22 passing for 188 yards, two touchdowns and an 8.5 yds/att average while Taylor has connected on 12 of 18 passes for 114 yards and an average of 6.3 yds/att. ...... in Buffalo’s first preseason game against the Carolina Panthers, E.J. had two maybe three passes that were dropped by his receivers on what were catchable balls. On the stat sheet Manuel gets an incomplete pass attempt but through PFF he would most likely receive a positive mark since he did his job of putting the ball in a good spot. So For those saying EJ is inaccurate ... Pleas try harder!! Great Find by the way!!! pbanach, on 25 Aug 2015 - 09:27 AM, said: http://nysportsbiz.com/2015/08/24/pff-tyrod-taylor-e-j-manuel-ranked-in-top-10-through-two-preseason-games/ I know it's only preseason, but both Taylor and Manuel are ranked in the top 10 QB's out of 111 players graded by Pro Football Focus.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 http://nysportsbiz.com/2015/08/24/pff-tyrod-taylor-e-j-manuel-ranked-in-top-10-through-two-preseason-games/ I know it's only preseason, but both Taylor and Manuel are ranked in the top 10 QB's out of 111 players graded by Pro Football Focus. Against backups or not that's nothing but a good thing. That's impossible since the Bills QB situation is the worst in the league - Nick Kostos of Bleacher Report says so and it must be true! It's so dire that our incompetent FO better be on the phone offering a fire sale of our best players to motivate another team to trade us their unproven backup.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Who is Scott Tolzien? Backup in Green Bay I believe.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 not ours Mcgloin (Oak), Wilson (Sea), Webb (Car), Nassib (NYG), Bortles (Jax) & Tolzein (GB) https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/08/24/top-preseason-grades-quarterbacks/ I'm surprised - two of those guys are actually starters.

We really were vanilla. then we unleashed the real deal in the regular season.... super vanilla!

Tolzien 2 years in a row. I propose we trade for him... Edited August 25, 2015 by TPS
YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Who is Scott Tolzien?Mediocre Wisconsin QB turned GB backup. Very bad in relief of Rodgers a couple years ago.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Backup in Green Bay I believe. Yep. Wisconsin QB in 2010 when they played in the Rosebowl. UDFA, roster in San Diego and SF. One of these little guys who doesn't "look like you want your QB to look" in the NFL Mediocre Wisconsin QB turned GB backup. Very bad in relief of Rodgers a couple years ago. I dunno about "very bad in relief", but TBF he broke school records for completion percentage his senior year and was 4th nationally for completion percentage, won some QB award. I'm not a college football fan but I thought he was pretty good, actually.
eball Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Who is Scott Tolzien? Apparently he's the greatest preseason QB of all time.
