I thought so, too. He looked better than I'd ever seen him. Even his interception wasn't a bad throw - reasonably accurate, and he gave his receiver a good chance to make a play on the ball.

Plus they had to make a play to score, and he was throwing it up to Amari Cooper. That wasn't a terrible pass at all. The defender made a stud play. Plus he had a TD that was a clear drop, and he had another great pass that could have been a TD but WR didn't hang on. He did well. The one thing he didn't do was have game awareness that cost two five yard penalties but sometimes the plays don't come in quick or guys don't get lined up right. Those looked like his fault though. He threw a lot of good balls.

I still cant fathom how he is able to occupy a job in the NFL. I also wouldnt be surprised if he and St. Doug were more than co-workers.

Have you seen the QBs in this league? Brandon Weeden was just signed

I hope EJ plays well, unless he is playing against us. From the little I've seen in pre-season and when he came in for Carr last week, he looks more relaxed and has played reasonably well.

He didn't have Cooper/Crabtree/Cook, but he did have Watkins/Woods/Clay.

 

I like EJ a lot; good kid that worked hard.

 

He's simply not a good enough passer to be an NFL starter.

Former Bill Lee Smith (and current teamate of Manuel in Oakland) pumping him up now that he's starting again. I really hope he starts against the Bills.

I see you found my post and started a thread . What was wrong with the EJ Raiders thread?

Remember when Lee Smith jumped into the stands after a TD and nobody caught him?

 

I remember when Lee Smith tripped over the 2-yard line against Baltimore and cost EJ a TD pass... :lol:

EJ is definitely a great guy. However, as an NFL QB he has poor mechanics. He short arms the ball, he doesn't always step towards the target, and he quivers in the face of a strong pass rush.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Manuel lights it up this week against the Ravens in a home game.

 

Some Oakland fans will probably believe they have a legit QB controversy on their hands.

 

Yeaaaaahhhh.....I went ahead and took the Ravens. I have inside intel on EJ.......
