TSOL Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I have a feeling EJ's gonna get a few starts this year one way or another
Boatdrinks Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Ridiculous. TT is off to a bad start, but the only thing to do is see if he can dig out of it and be an NFL QB. This is essentially going to be a two year ( counting last season) audition for Taylor. The contract structure dictates that. EJM already had his " audition" , and failed. His appearances in relief of TT in 2015 gave no indication he has any shot as starting QB. That ship has sailed. Jones is a project with many years ahead of him and no need to get a look at him any time soon this season.
PolishDave Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Well, one year the AFC QBs were Matt Schaub and David Garrard. So I think he means that it doesn't really mean anything. EDIT: oh, and the year after that Matt Cassel. Okay...So it doesn't mean he sucks. But it also doesn't mean he doesn't suck. I think that is a fair assessment that most of the NFL would agree with. Ask the guys who get voted there what they think or the people who voted for them. Maybe they voted for them because they think that player sucks. You don't get voted there because you played bad football that year. It doesn't mean you are going to be a hall of fame player, but for god's sake, its not a knock against you when your peers vote you as one of the best. Edited September 17, 2016 by PolishDave
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I'd rather see Cardale. EJ's not the future. This. If TT is benched for performance that means the season is a complete wash. Why wouldn't they then see what they have in Cardale? They already have a lot of film on EJ....I think he's a known commodity.
White Linen Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 You better believe if the Bills lose to AZ at home next week Manuel will start week 4 at New England. The chaos will then have come full circle. Perhaps Whaleys parting gift to the Biils was signing Tyrod to a contract where we no longer need to have any ties to him after this year. Buddy Nix and Whaley were hell bent on finding the Bills a QB during their combined 7 year tenure with the Bills. Now their hand picked qbs will both be following them out the door after this season. You've consistently been wrong - so "you better believe" flies right out the window.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 They aren't pulling TT for performance. They certainly aren't pulling him for EJ. EJ Manuel has zero chance of ever being the Bills long-term starter. He may start a game or 2 due to injury. They aren't pulling TT for EJ (ever).
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I'd bet my middle nut against EJ starting in week 4 unless TT gets injured. No shot. I call shenanigans
26CornerBlitz Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Will not happen unless Taylor can't play due to injury.
GunnerBill Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 I see no benefit in playing EJ. The season will be dead at 0-4, we need to get as much evidence on TT as possible and if he does continue to faceplant and ownership or the front office are going to mandate a Quarterback change then the change they should mandate is getting a look at a bit of Cardale. EJ has no future here. He was here this year to be an experienced backup who kmows the playbook should we be in the mix and Taylor get injured. If the season is dead and you pull Tyrod going to EJ makes no sense.

I better believe, or what? Not going to happen. If the current scenario is that Tyrod was somehow being held back by poor game planning and game management, Lynn will get at least 2 or 3 games to turn the bus around before sitting the QB who is getting the big bucks. Tyrod starts unless he's hurt. If the O is still impotent in week 8, then maybe.

Estelle Getty Posted September 17, 2016 Author Posted September 17, 2016 Some of you guys are ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! Do you not watch the NFL? You think a coach who is on his last leg who just fired his OC isn't going to think about starting his backup if he starts 0-3? Some of you just like to hear yourself argue. To think there is no logic to my OP is nuts.

3rdand12 Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 If they put Cardale in too soon Bills will have ruined 3 in a row
Dr.Sack Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Probably 0-5 or 0-6 would be the time to bench Tyrod. He wasn't all that bad against the Jets. His short passing game and mid range game has struggled but that could be more of an issue with the play calling and the rhythm of the offense. I'd personally like to see them give Tyrod the whole season to sink or swim. EJ is the backup and will likely walk in free agency to try to go to a team where he can compete for the starting gig. I did like the one pass EJ threw on Thursday night. He looked good throwing outside the numbers on that one pass.

EJ might play because Tyrod gets hurt.......we were a hairs breath away from it in the last game when the DL sandwiched and went into concussion protocal but he wont get pulled for performance
CountryCletus Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Barring injury, there is no way this happens
