Mr. WEO Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yeah he really gave a crap what people said or thought about him when we signed Harvin and Incognito and IK and kept Kromer. Yeah, right. People loved those moves. And Pegula kept Kromer. You aren't familiar with Rex's tenure in NYJ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Buffalo Wings Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I think Tyrod has already earned this job and we should be focusing on preparing him to start the season. More reps as the starter the better. I don't think this is a good way to handle the QB competition. Thats quite the assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I dont see a huge advantage of keeping tbe starter under wraps at this point. Is it crazy to think the coaches honestly havent made up their mind yet? When you look at the way both EJ and TT have been performing, I dont think its crazy at all.

NewEra Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Good for him. Glad he got the opportunity. It's just a couple plays, but his throws on that last drive were fantastic. The pass on the PI was on the mark and the td to Davis was a thing of beauty IMO. I think Tyrod will be our starter when it's said and done, but I believe EJ has a chance to become a really good #2 or a competent starter.

Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Playing games with Indy when you need to get a QB ready would be stupid. I really don't think that is a factor at this point, I doubt the Bills would be able to keep it secret, and considering how many games are played with both teams knowing who the QB will be, it seems like people way overthink that aspect. I think the Bills are trying to figure out what they have in each guy, and that's it. Exactly. Not to mention playing with the starters in the "dress rehearsal" is a lot about timing in games. Without Sammy and Harvin and Shady and maybe Woods, you're really not going to get that great of timing down anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 What would really mess this up and make us all scratch our head is if EJ is traded before the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prickly Pete Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Awesome Bomb Cassel. Add me to the "ABC" QB list. I really hope I don't have to use that gif. during the season. Edited August 27, 2015 by HoF Watkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Somewhat true. But Roman clearly calls different plays for the three different guys depending on what they do well. So if EJ does pretty good in the Steelers game, the Colts will have to prepare for all three rather than just two. EJ plays a lot different game than TT I think. if EJ were to be named starter for week 1 today, what would the colts be preparing for differently, as opposed to if they thought it a 2 man race between cassell and TT?

26TrapDraw Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 So it begs the question. If he kills it does he win the job? Or as I said before He's been the starter for a while and the reps between Cassel and Taylor are for who is the back up. Hmmm . All I know is that those hacks at wgr's heads must be exploding.

PlayoffsPlease Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 One can only assume Rex is just trolling the fan boards with his QB management this off season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FluffHead Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 if EJ were to be named starter for week 1 today, what would the colts be preparing for differently, as opposed to if they thought it a 2 man race between cassell and TT? They would have to prepare to catch wildly inaccurate passes and the coaches on the sidelines would have to practice duck and cover technique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 People loved those moves. And Pegula kept Kromer. You aren't familiar with Rex's tenure in NYJ... Sure I am. And I guarantee that Rex told Pegula what he thought before Pegula made any kind of decision on it. Rex is NOT going to make any kind of decision based on what Sal or Jeremey or Mike friggin' Schopp think or say. That's ridiculous. He doesn't care. He just does what he wants.

Dorkington Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) @JeremyWGR: Can't figure how to feel. I don't care who wins the job. Very odd that a start goes to the guy clearly in third place. #KillThePreseason I haven't been at camp, but in the preseason games I watched (first two), EJ looked the best, but all three have been successful in moving the ball.

BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 @ChrisTrapasso: General narrative going into #Bills camp was: EJ=horrible, Cassel=experienced but ehh vet. Tyrod=super fun, exciting, never got a chance. That's weird, I thought the narrative going into camp was is the QB going to be EJ or Cassel while conveniently leaving Tyrod out of the discussion entirely, and it stayed that way for a pretty decent amount of time.

eball Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 This is a great example of why players will run through walls for Rex. It couldn't be ignored that despite inconsistencies at practice EJ was the QB who produced TDs through the air in his two preseason stints. EJ is well liked in that locker room, and I'm almost certain there are players who feel Marrone sabotaged him. I don't know if he still has a realistic chance to win the job but I'm very happy for EJ that he gets this chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) that's not hard to do apparently it is hard for them to tackle and rush the passer. Edited August 27, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
