Captain Hindsight Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 You've drunk too much of the kool aid. Not saying I want Griffin here but he's been given a very bad rap by the press and his coach. Rightttttt because Shanny and Gruden wanted to start Cousins for his physical gifts right?
reddogblitz Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 If TT goes down or regresses we can not have EJ Manuel in the lineup. That cost us a playoff spot this year. Please explain this. It could be said that EJ cost us the Jaguars game, however, we were ahead before Blake Bortles led the Mighty Jaguars offense on a 87 yard TD drive with help from the refs. But surely you're not suggesting that if Tyrod started vs Bungles we would have won that game, are you? Our QB laying an egg at the end of both Patsies** games, Eagles, and Cheaps hurt our chances more IMHO.
White Linen Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I'm still holding out hope for Skelton I'm thinking we will have to add on to Mario though. I think they know we want to get rid of him. May have to sweeten the deal with Watkins CBF Even though Watkins cost us 4 1st round draft picks - it is time to cut our losses.
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 You've drunk too much of the kool aid. Not saying I want Griffin here but he's been given a very bad rap by the press and his coach. Googled RG3 many articles of teammates ripping him and applauding his benching. I'll take their word for it.
Mr. WEO Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 It's a sad testament to the Bills fan's psyche that one would even mention acquiring a flash in the pan like RG3. Is there no dumpster we would;t dive in??
KD in CA Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 It's a sad testament to the Bills fan's psyche that one would even mention acquiring a flash in the pan like RG3. Is there no dumpster we would;t dive in?? Some people just can never acknowledge his moment in the sun is over. Look how long some clung to the Vince Young fantasy.
Mr. WEO Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Some people just can never acknowledge his moment in the sun is over. Look how long some clung to the Vince Young fantasy. Or that of JP Losman.
Talley56 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Just why, exactly? You would seriously take EJ over RGIII? No one is saying RGIII is great. That's why the argument is for him to be the #2 in an offseason where there really are not many better options. He has at least one solid season under his belt as a starter. If you need RGIII to give you 2 or 3 solid to maybe even good games in the middle of the season if your starter goes down he can get you those whereas EJ proved this past year that he can't even give you that. Griffin actually beat Jacksonville.
reddogblitz Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Or that of JP Losman. Or that of Rich Gannon or Kurt Warner. They're all long shots. Leave no stone unturned I say.
Manther Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 But then what happens to IK? Who is going to be honorary captain against the Jets? And don't say Geno, because they will laugh at us.Lol
reddogblitz Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Griffin actually beat Jacksonville. So did EJ. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2013121503/2013/REG15/bills@jaguars?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr#menu=gameinfo|contentId%3A0ap2000000298956&tab=recap Oh, and when was that game that Griffin beat Jacksonville?
Manther Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Someone's gonna give him money and a chance at starting... we are not that someone. Agreed Competent veteran? That's so far from RGIII, That's like saying Tim Tebow is a competent veteran. I'd take EJ as our backup over RGIII any day of the week. Don't disagree, but, why?
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Do the naysayers really feel comfortable with EJ as our #2. Personally he is a great kid with a great attitude and a good teammate. He just isn't a capable quarterback. We need a better #2. Who should it be?
machine gun kelly Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 RG3? Did the OP watch him the last couple of years? Then there are the reports of how he acted in the locker room and with coaches. I don't know why any team picks him up.
MarkAF43 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Agreed Don't disagree, but, why? Where EJ may lack in his skills as a QB, his mentality in the back up role is well suited for the position, RGIII is a prima donna who if he's not the starter will pout and be unhappy.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 that's my feeling... EJ out.... a competent veteran who can play in the system IN. Draft the future 4th-7th round or next year after thoroughly evaluating TT. Meaning no offense, but why do you consider RGIII "a competent veteran who can play in the system"? Do the naysayers really feel comfortable with EJ as our #2. Personally he is a great kid with a great attitude and a good teammate. He just isn't a capable quarterback. We need a better #2. Who should it be? We should draft a kid in the mid-rounds if we feel someone there has potential, and we should keep our eye on the "dark horse free agent" market.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Some people just can never acknowledge his moment in the sun is over. Look how long some clung to the Vince Young fantasy. I think that's what it is. We are still hoping for Magical Mystery Man who will lift us to the promised land. So we cling to any possibility that has some prior magic about it - VY, RGIII, Rex - even if that magic has been followed by years of failures.
HT02 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Wait, you want to TRADE for RGIII and take on his $16M salary, as a QB "Plan B"? While Overdorf is already sitting there with the Bills salary cap sheet in front of him, trying to figure out what player we might just as soon keep he must cut to sign Incognito and Glenn and extend Gilmore? Don't Drink and Bowl. R-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-ight. And what players do you plan to cut, or let go in FA, to make room, and how will you fill those holes? I suggest Zofran for that nauseous feeling. I could be wrong, I often am, but I'm thinking you'll be seeing EJ at least in training camp/preseaso EJ is not an NFL QB having him in camp would be a disservice to Bills fans I think that's what it is. We are still hoping for Magical Mystery Man who will lift us to the promised land. So we cling to any possibility that has some prior magic about it - VY, RGIII, Rex - even if that magic has been followed by years of failures. There have been enough examples of reclamation projects prospering in new settings to make that seem quite possible.
