GG Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Probably because he's finally progressing with a real OC developing him, and the reporters can't handle it. ???
eball Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 In his defense all of the reporters crushed him yesterday. It's still going after the low-hanging fruit. Give the guy a break; everybody knows he hasn't panned out as the franchise QB we hoped for...commenting on a few errant throws in OTAs isn't particularly insightful.

It's mean and childish which is a fair amount of posters on the internet and one presidential candidate.

Give the guy a break; everybody knows he hasn't panned out as the franchise QB we hoped for...commenting on a few errant throws in OTAs isn't particularly insightful. It's their job to report on what is happening at practice not to shelter a guy. Vic, Fairburn, Dunne, Wawrow, and Rodak all commented on it (that I saw). This wasn't some grudge from VC, it was simply saying that the guy was bad. Nothing that happens at OTA's is particularly insightful but we all still read it and want to hear it. If he was bad, he was bad. He is a professional and should be held to the same standards as every other player on the roster. The good news is that the reports were very positive about TT and the middle of the field yesterday. Perhaps he is making the strides that we are all hoping for!!
BaaadThingsMan Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 26CB, thanks for all the updates! I think it's cool that I can keep my fingers on the pulse of the Bills even though I'm thousands of miles away. I'd second this. This is def my go to Bills news source. I don't even bother looking at the articles down the middle of the page, i just look for 26cb updated threads.

Sure it is, first off they are reporting some news. Secondly, it's important to be reminded that our first round selection was a bust.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 LAWSON: "NO JOB IS GUARANTEED" (1:15) LB Manny Lawson talks to the media about moving in to year 2 in Rex Ryan's defense, the drafting of Shaq Lawson and more.
Dr. Who Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Sure it is, first off they are reporting some news. Secondly, it's important to be reminded that our first round selection was a bust. Calling a brief portion of OTA practice news is somewhat inflationary of the concept. And how many first round qbs end up as adequate backups or worse? Apparently there's no statute of limitations on being "reminded that our first round selection was a bust" for some folks. Let's also be reminded we traded back, got Kiko, which ultimately became McCoy. Or perhaps people should get past it and stop the repetitious whining.
26CornerBlitz Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 Manny Lawson: "You'll have to stop our attack" (11:04)Bills LB Manny Lawson sat down on The John Murphy Show to discuss his versatility in the defense, how he 'took over' last season, and how Rex Ryan's defensive approach has changed heading into 2016.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 has the media changed the tuning on their typewriters. Seems like postive reviews? less likely to get the boot with OOO type reporting Boy oh boy, Vic just can't resist any opportunity to lambaste EJ Manuel. I guess he needs to keep doing it to support his "QB position is worse this year" article from a couple of weeks ago, but seriously, is there anything more lame than going out of one's way to critique the backup QB? to be fair the other reports did too. It's mean and childish which is a fair amount of posters on the internet and one presidential candidate. Hilary They should stop reporting bad things. Especially IF TT has a bad day.
GunnerBill Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 They should stop reporting bad things. Isn't that what the new media policy says?
nucci Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Sure it is, first off they are reporting some news. Secondly, it's important to be reminded that our first round selection was a bust. I think we all know....no need to be reminded daily

I think we all know....no need to be reminded daily When he is still on the football team and he is still looking terrible and practically penciled in as our backup, sure it is.

When he is still on the football team and he is still looking terrible and practically penciled in as our backup, sure it is. Maybe you do...I already know he's not that good and will most likely be released after this season. Don't need a reporter telling me every day.
nucci Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 He struggled at safety. At corner in 2014 he was very solid. We're talking about Manuel
eball Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Sure it is, first off they are reporting some news. Secondly, it's important to be reminded that our first round selection was a bust. This is laughable. A backup QB making a few errant throws in a practice in shorts is "news?" And only losers feel compelled to dwell on the past. Aside from five really terrible minutes of football, EJ did OK in his backup role last season. The Bills as a team played poorly in the 2nd half vs. Cinci, and in reality they should have pulled out the W in London. Tell me, in how many other markets in which the starting QB is established do you think reporters tweet commentary on how the backup looked in OTA practice? The only one is probably Boston, because they're worried Janeane Garafolo might have to actually play the first four games.

racecitybills Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Maybe I have missed it but did Henderson report on Thursday? Can one of the CRACK staff at TBN stop bashing EJ long enough to let us know?
