Every thread is sillier than the last already. the question is what to do with EJ should he play well this is a very important question here sorry you don't see it Edited January 1, 2017 by HOUSE
Best Player Available Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 the question is what to do with EJ should he play well this is a very important question here sorry you don't see it Oh, I see it. trust me on that. Happy New Year House!!
PatsFanNH Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Then What?? Think about it..... In all seriousness, what does that show? The Jets have packed it in and I did not see ANYONE even trying on that team For the last 3 weeks. Does it mean EJ has talent? I think everyone knows that. It against the Jets who would probably lose to the Browns by 30 right now it really doesn't prove or show anyone anything. Edited January 1, 2017 by PatsFanNH
WotAGuy Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 would you think of keeping him? if the answer is no then why bother playing him ? It's like driving a winter "beater" car - except we don't have a sporty convertible summer car yet.
klos63 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 would you think of keeping him? if the answer is no then why bother playing him ? That's a valid question. How bad is Jones that he can't even start a meaningless end of season game?
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Lets say EJ throws for 5 TDs, 400 yards OK..."EJ throws for 5 TDs, 400 yards."
BuffaloFan68 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Don't need 400 yrds with a bunch of TDs. When EJ looks as good as he has in preseason & practices, we will sign him for next year and probably let Tyrod walk. Just my opinion of course. Go EJ & Go Bills!!!!!
jms62 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 That's a valid question. How bad is Jones that he can't even start a meaningless end of season game? A horse in the barn always has more potential than a horse at the track. Jones on the sidelines = future potential. Whaley doesn't want to go into this offseason with these QB questions answered.

TSOL Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Are you carrying on the EJ crusade in honor of BF4E? I dont know what a BF4E is,i just think its early to give up on a player with 14 starts.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Then the alarm goes off and I wake up. LOL
metzelaars_lives Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Probably will just generate a tiny bit more interest in free agency. EJ is done here, havent you read all the astute QB analysts on here that say he sucks? Remember that one game out of his whopping 14 starts where he threw a bunch of int's? He sucks. Everybody... EVERYBODY says so.Are you trying to say he doesn't suck? Furthermore, are you suggesting that he played 13 good games and one bad one? Edited January 1, 2017 by metzelaars_lives
HOUSE Posted January 1, 2017 Author Posted January 1, 2017 OK..."EJ throws for 5 TDs, 400 yards." do we resign or just let him walk?
TSOL Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Are you trying to say he doesn't suck? Furthermore, are you suggesting that he played 13 good games and one bad one? I dont think he sucks. I think he ran the two minute hurry up offense decently. I think he can score points in the offense. I dont think he hangs his head like a beaten dog, when things are going bad, like taylor did in the Oakland and Pittsburg game. I think he has SOME ofthe skills needed to be a pocket passer, hes big, has arm strength, has mobility. I also think he has had accuracy issues and has looked awkward running the ball and taking hits at times. Basically a raw talent that never got a feel for the offense. But again, 14 games. Ready for the scrap heap? Idk, maybe. I googled "qb busts" earlier this morning and he was on a list of 10 biggest busts since 2007, so idk.
klos63 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 do we resign or just let him walk? Even if he shows something today, and even if the Bills see progress I can't see him staying here. There are other teams out there that need QB's and he will likely have offers and welcome a fresh start. I like EJ and recall his good games against the Pats, Panthers..., maybe others? But I think it's over. Nothing that happens in today's game should really have any impact on the offseason for any player.
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 There is a certain irony in this thread. If you recall that was what Rob Johnson did in a meaningless season finale, then he got the start the following week over Flutie in the playoff game. Not that he played bad in that game either as he walked off the field with one shoe on and the Bills leading.
TSOL Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I honestly believe he is done here in Buffalo, and this start is Whaley showcasing him as a show of goodwill for him to land on his feet with another team via free agency. Hes been crucified on this board for no logical reason, but has been a professional and has conducted himself with class and deserves a legit chance to show what he can do. Whether its a career backup, or a legit chance to compete for a starting job.

Ready for the scrap heap? Idk, maybe. I googled "qb busts" earlier this morning and he was on a list of 10 biggest busts since 2007, so idk. I was watching the Panthers game (his second of the 14 starts) in New York at a sports bar with friends and I remember putting my hands on my head in jovial disbelief saying out loud, "we finally have our guy! We finally have our guy!" He never looked that good ever again. You talk about one bad game like it was an anomaly. The following week against the Jets he looked worse than Taylor ever has. How about the Bucs game that season? In more than half his games as a pro, he has looked A1 atrocious- again, worse than Taylor has ever looked in 29 starts. All that being said, I liked the pick at the time and don't hold it against Whaley. They had to take a QB that year and there wasn't a better option available. Not to mention he squeezed another pick out of it (Alonso -> McCoy) so the Rams could draft Tavon Austin. And to your point, yes, he seems like a very nice young man and I agree he has had a great attitude about the whole thing. Edited January 1, 2017 by metzelaars_lives
Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 He has multiples of those games. He did? I see 1 game where he threw 4 INTs, 3 games where he threw 2. In two of those 3 games, he threw equal # of TD and INT. That's really not uncommon for a young QB in his first 2 seasons, including a number of QB who have been brought up here as "better" I thought the concern on EJM was more lack of passing accurately and appropriately than being a horrid INT machine, 'cuz overall he really is not - the idea being (as I understand it) one can tolerate the occasional multi-INT games (even Aaron Rodgers has them), provided there are counter-balancing 300 yd passing, 4 TD games (which there aren't from EJM) and late-game rallies.
