LeGOATski Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Breaking News: Rex Ryan announces that Cassel will be watching the 3rd preseason game from his couch.
Maury Ballstein Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Too funny, EJ supporters acting giddy like little school girls. You gonna cry ?
Koufax Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Too funny, EJ supporters acting giddy like little school girls. Because Rex thinks highly enough of him to put him in a position where if he excels for an hour he is the starting QB like he had been each of the last two seasons? I'm a dubious EJ supporter ready to jump on the TT bandwagon, but this isn't a ploy or giving a fair chance or anything like that. Rex feels that EJ has a chance to be the starter and his performance Saturday will dictate it, or there is no way he would give him these reps. If you are throwing a fairness bone, it is the game 1 or game 2, or hypothetically even the game 4 and not officially announcing until after that. You don't give the game 3 starting reps to someone unless you think they have an excellent chance of stepping up.
BuffaloBob Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Incorrect. They said in one sentence, Ryan said. Then in the next sentence, they said, so his time might be limited. The Ryan said part ONLY modifies the part about the all QBs getting time with the ones. CLEARLY, the next sentence is the conclusion of the author, otherwise, BOTH ideas would have been in the same sentence with the "Ryan says."
metzelaars_lives Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 You gonna cry ? Your response was worse than his. When EJ is named the starter for week 1 you can have your day in the sunshine. It's still very unlikely to happen.
DrDawkinstein Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I haven't read through this thread at all as I was at lunch and was chomping at the bit to get home and get on here but from what I saw, as per usual, Kirby Jackson is a pretty good voice of reason. I'm suspecting that there is a lot of "Ha ha! Take that EJ haters! What are you gonna do now WGR? Told ya so!" I will be the first to admit that this surprises me a little bit but I would be shocked- unless EJ plays better than we've ever seen him play AND Cassel AND Taylor implode- that he has any reasonable shot to start week 1. This move by no means unsubstantiates every last reporter associated with the Bills saying that EJ has looked the third best throughout the entirety of camp. This does not undermine Joe B's or anyone else's reporting as much as you want to think it does. My now famous source said himself that EJ was not part of the equation prior to the Browns game. That being said, let's see what he does with the opportunity. Go Bills! It kinda does. When they have been saying he isnt even in the running. When they give him a 7% chance, over the other two at 50% and 43%. etc. It does undermine those reports.
thebandit27 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Too funny, EJ supporters acting giddy like little school girls. As funny as people like yourself claiming some kind of victory when reports were than EJ was no longer in the competition? Nope, both are actually quite juvenile. As I said from the beginning: each QB (including Simms) starts a preseason game. Though I do have to admit: the fact that this is probably bothering you is indeed funny.

When they give him a 7% chance, over the other two at 50% and 43%. etc. It does undermine those reports. Me personally, I would say this nudges his chances from 10% to 15%. What do you think this does for his chances? Do you think it's 33% a piece?
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Film don't lie! I'm sure the coaches were very impressed with EJ's two preseason performances. The guy looked like a legitimate NFL QB under less than ideal circumstances. I'm betting his teammates noticed too.

Do you think it's 33% a piece? No, I mentioned earlier I wouldve put it at 50/30/20, Cassel/TT/EJ. As of today, I might change that to 40/35/25. edit: changed my numbers because math Edited August 27, 2015 by DrDareustein

You guys are taking this way too seriously. I can't even imagine what's gonna happen on this board when they name the actual starter. This means way less than you think it does.

Sal had it at 10. I'm sure he'd bump it up a bit now. So if someone had it at 7, that's not that far off.
thebandit27 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 This is a red letter day for the EJ Dreamers. Yet another totally pointless and stupid post. EJ is still in the competition (just like the other two guys), or he wouldn't be getting this chance. Why anyone is so incredibly invested in any one of these 3 guys starting (or not starting as the case is with a few posters) is beyond me. Can't fans just watch this play out without being numskulls?

The desire to be "right" and gain internet message board credibility.
