BackInDaDay Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 I'll say it again and get ridiculed for it in 2014 EJ could have won as many ,if not more games than the Bills did w/Orton not likely.. EJ was a broken young QB in a broken offensive system. Marrone couldn't wait for Hackett to fix both, so he threw Orton at the problem. the HC's motivation may be questioned, but his decision left Manuel the opportunity to right his personal ship.. which, from the looks of things, he's been doing
billykaykay Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Yeah the Bills need to cut Cassel like ASAP. But they have their reasons to keep not cutting him just yet. There is a lot of decisions that go on. If ya know what I mean! Agreed. Decisions might be: Wait to see if Simms is claimed off waivers. If not, we then put him on the PS & cut MC Wait a few weeks to see if any QBs go down, In that scenario, we may get a low round pick in return. Re negotiate his contract to reflect his being 3rd string. Keep him as expensive insurance.

He states Friday, meaning yesterday. Could be a typo on his part. Just an FYI. Edited September 5, 2015 by BillsinChesterSprings
