Take a read. Also glad to see him start Raiders camp as their number 2 ahead of Connor Cook. Are we STILL talking about this bum? Let it go. The experiment with the project QB FAILED.
Bangarang Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Never understood how a guy who spent his entire life going to QB camps & for one of the top programs in the country was said to be "raw." I think he'll always be. It's easier to say he's raw than to admit he sucks.
B Fan in LA Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I'll bet every single person on this post a jelly donut that EJ Manuel is living in a converted garage on the property of Doug Whaley, and they are both drinking Bud Light and complaining about how they got screwed by the Bills................. Who's first..............
Buffalo86 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 It's easier to say he's raw than to admit he sucks. Ain't that the truth...
K D Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 If Tyrod had EJ's body...yikes. he would be better than Cam
major Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Remember the day we drafted EJ, this stranger at the gym sees my bills shirt and says, "I'm a Florida state grad, EJ isn't any good". Reminded me of that old man from Friday the 13th telling the campers that this place has a death curse

BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Dear gad he was bad enough in college to have called it a deal. but we drafted him anyway

Take a read. Also glad to see him start Raiders camp as their number 2 ahead of Connor Cook. What can you say? It's true, he wasn't. Not everyone does get their ultimate chance, and some are actively mishandled. I'm not sure where Manuel falls on that scale. Not as far towards mishandled as Losman does, IMHO. It's easier to say he's raw than to admit he sucks. Yup. And it's easier to say either one of those than to admit that we don't know for sure. We probably have a good idea about the guy, but there's always a chance we could have been wrong. No way to prove a negative in this case. I personally kept thinking there was a chance right up till the end, but when he still couldn't show improvement near the end, it just became really likely that he wouldn't ever be a good one. But yeah, maybe if handled better. No way to know, and at some point you just have to go with the best guess. Edited August 1, 2017 by Thurman#1
GunnerBill Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I think it is interesting that Todd Dowling liked EJ enough to take a shot on him in Oakland as a possible backup. EJ's development here was a shambles but I don't think that is the single reason for his failure.
todd Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Garbage. He was an awful quarterback. He wasn't even a competent backup. There's no way to see it otherwise. You seize your own opportunities, they aren't given to you. https://www.silverandblackpride.com/2017/3/20/14988144/raiders-ej-manuel-not-given-chance-to-grow-buffalo-bills-i-know-what-kind-of-player-i-can-beIn this article, Manuel makes a good point.

Buffalo Boy Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 If Tyrod had EJ's body...yikes. he would be better than Cam Cam can throw down the middle. He could even with TT's body
eball Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 omg this crap again. My sentiments exactly. EJ Manuel -- great guy, bad QB. Move on, nothing to see here.
mead107 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 My sentiments exactly. EJ Manuel -- great guy, bad QB. Move on, nothing to see here.Agree. He is not a Bills player, who cares about him anymore.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Ain't that the truth... Taylor Mills is raw.
plenzmd1 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Weird article..the quotes from Manual are at least a couple months old..wonder if this guy wrote the original article cause there is no attribution that I saw in the article. And that is what interests me.(EDIT dummy me, just saw this article was from March 20..man we digging up some old chit here) And I am one who would have like to seen EJ get his whole second season. EJ is one blown interference penalty against Robey as having one of the great comebacks in Bills history. Edited August 1, 2017 by plenzmd1
Kirby Jackson Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 I don't think that EJ was handled particularly well but he wasn't any good either. The team was worse with him on the field. Maybe he can reinvent himself as a competent back-up but I wouldn't count on it. He had opportunities, even over the last couple of years, to show improvement and he didn't. EJ however, handled himself with class and grace. I wish him the best. I like to see all former Bills succeed unless they are in New England.
nucci Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Not every player goes in to a perfect situation with which to develop. Manuel had more chances than most. He just failed
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 2 pages and no site of jm2009?? I think this is a new record?
