Where Will EJ Manuel End Up?

[BuffaloBillyG]

I like EJ as a person. Classy guy. Good guy. As a QB....eh.

 

 

[Boca BIlls]

Baseball?

[wppete]

Jacksonville 

[Kirby Jackson]

Honestly, I think the XFL or Canada. It may be a path to play for him. He could probably still land a job in the NFL but not with any path to playing time IMO.

He'll end up replacing Donald Jones on the John Murphy Show.

I don't know if that's sarcasm or whatever. I'm just a fan. I gave up on EJ Manuel at the tail end of his time here. He looks the part, but he didn't have the football IQ. I was hoping he shows me something, but he never did. He flirted with it, but eh. I got tired.

Everything I've heard about ej is that he's a very hard worker.  It's a competitive sport, just by you fail doesn't mean you didn't work hard enough.

He'll be lucky to be on any roster. EJ screwed himself over. He really didn't work on his game nor spend weekends studying game film with the coaches.

How do you know?

Eff I was wrong. Here is something I googled about EJ Manuel:

Okay. I take it back. He is a hard worker. But still, how come his improvements never showed? Can Steve Billieve explain that?

EJ should take up bass fishing with a fly rod and big bass bugs.  Be careful with his money and enjoy life.

[GG]

He didn’t embarrass himself when put in for injured Carr last year.

Crap, now what am I supposed to do with 1000 shares of EJ's Fantex stock? 

[Buffalo Ballin]

Since EJ Manuel is a hard worker because I can relate to that, I hope he lands on an NFL roster. All that work he put in has to show somewhere.

I don’t know why people are ragging on EJ. It’s not his fault he was drafted 1st in a horrible QB draft. Like most drafted QBs, it just didn’t work out. He was a decent guy though. 

[snafu]

I don't know.  All I know is that I need him to succeed because I bought a ton of EJ Manuel stock when it came out.  I can't get rid of it until he takes off.

Theres a lot of truth to this.  Most teams had a 3rd round grade on EJ.  Because Buddy Nix (and maybe Doug Whaley) was such a lousy GM that mishandled the QB position, he backed himself into a wall of finding a QB in a bad draft class.  I still have no idea why they felt so compelled to draft EJ in round 1, when he might be available in round 4.

 

You can’t blame fans.  When a 1st round pick (especially a QB) doesn’t pan out, it’s disappointing.

Anyone planning on turning that Manuel jersey into a Rosen?

Where he has belonged for the past 3 years. The CFL. If they even want him.

I don’t think he is good enough for the CFL.  They only have 3 downs.  EJ could use 5.

[jrober38]

He's out of the NFL.

 

His agent should be looking for a job in the CFL.
