Sweats Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 Why in the hell are we talking about EJ?..........the guy was garbage and it's no surprise that it was yet another wasted Whaley pick. Move along.........nothing to see here.

There is not a current qb in the nfl, starting or backing up that I would want less. Not exaggerating, I mean that 100%. Before people start saying you would rather have “blank?” if the name is of a qb in the league, then the answer is yes. Hope that clears it up. What an exaggeration. 1 1

In all fairness, the Bills are now my #2 team because of the fan generosity toward the Bengals. I'm just getting a feel for my new brothers here is all....or as you said, curiosity.

He played pretty poorly in 2 games for them when Derek Carr got injured. Our QB has been Tyrod Taylor for the past 3 seasons and he is also not very good. He probably won't be back next year and we will probably sign a veteran plus draft someone. At this point, we would gladly take Dalton off your hands. He is pretty popular around here lately He really didn't play that poor this year. He's way better than our backup. The hate for EJ on this board is so stupid. He got overdrafted, got thrown to the fire with a first time NFL coach as his qb coach and OC (and should have beaten the Pats in his debut), and struggled with injuries. hes a completely fine backup qb. 5 hours ago, Doc Brown said: High character guy does everything right off the field in terms of preparation, hard work, and leadership. Terrible on the football field. He's no Nate Peterman for sure!!! 1

EJ's 77.1 career passer rating makes him a below average backup. It's not his fault the Bills were dumb enough to draft him in the 1st round.

Batman1876 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 The smartest thing he ever did was bet against himself and sell 10% of his future earnings for 5 million. 1

Awful. Putrid. Oh come on man, stop sugar-coating it! In truth, he was a lot worse than that! 1
K-9 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Great kid first and foremost. Totally schizoid mechanics; a formula 1 race car above the waist and a complete jalopy below. Can’t read a defense to save his life and loses confidence too quickly. Terrific locker room presence. 2

Tricycle from the neck up. Not sure how a slow, low confidence 1st round bust has much of a significant presence in an NFL locker room.
Irv Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) The only time he didn't suck was when he was injured. Wait. I take that back. He sucked at being injured too. Edited January 14, 2018 by Badthingsman
Maine-iac Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 My biggest gripe was that he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. People complain about Taylor because a throw comes in low or not in stride. Manuel would hit one crossing pattern fine and then throw a moon shot 10 feet over a guys head. He wasn't going to hit anyone more than 25 yards downfield period. I'm not sure if Peterman is more accurate or not largely because a defender steps in front of half his passes

Honestly I'm not sure which guy is worse. I know which one was way over drafted though. Strange thing, I didn't think EJ had all that bad of a rookie season. He just got worse from there instead of better. Edited January 14, 2018 by Scott7975

Terrific locker room presence. ....I'd say that is a spot on analysis....good show......reads, progressions and zero confidence were all major downfalls......ironically, Buddy and his gang had Genome Smith penciled in as their 1st choice....flew down to interview him and work him out....consensus on plane ride home was, "um no thanks"........EJ was 2nd fiddle.......
BringBackOrton Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Really really really good kid. Absolutely terrible QB. He's the worst. He's all over the place mechanically, he looks like a deer in the headlights, he plays scared, leaves plays on the field with late/bad throws. He really really really sucks. I concur with the guy who would take any other active QB over him. Joe Webb package all game over EEEEEEeeeeeeeJJJJJjjjj under center.
