Fadingpain Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Feel free to re-write history now if you must, but EJ is and was a horrible QB who is lucky to have a job as a backup. Hold onto that clipboard, EJ, and collect those pay checks while you can. 2

Bobby Hooks Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Yeah, the Bills are monsters. Sitting EJ in his second year, only giving Tyrod 3 years to prove he could score 1 or 2 tds a game consistently. Cant believe this team. 4

Lfod Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Making it into the NFL is an accomplishment on it's own. Not everyone makes it that far. At least he got his foot into the door. The bright side is he still in the NFL unlike Kaepernick and Johnny football who probably are both better than him. 1

Because most collegian QBs are running a shoddy option game, which has no place in the NFL. they don't even bother to try to step back and throw against cupcakes they run 60-0 over.

That’s why the QB picks are a gamble. You hit big or you roll snake eyes. (those are bad right?) 1
JPP Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Hopefully times a changing.......we will see how next season goes.....but jokingly asides....he was bad but by far not the worst we had...... Edited July 17, 2018 by JPP

Which is why I don’t even care to watch college football (Unless my daughter wants us to attend a game at her alumni JMU).

You send me into depression every time you post. Do you contribute to the convo, or take jabs at people for contributing to the convo? 2 1

Another Fan Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 EJ always struck me as a good person/ hard worker, I’m sorry to hear he felt that way. Having said that I think he had more than enough chances here over the years even if the coaching left something to be desired. His best bet would to play in the CFL if he’s really looking to start again someday
uticaclub Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 I still think EJ Manuel is better all round QB than Tyrod Taylor 1 5

stuvian Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 that was probably the first time in his life he'd faced that kind of adversity. You could tell he wasn't ready for it. Talent can only get you so far.
Best Player Available Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Surprised he is still in the league too be honest. Thanks for trying, EJ it was Buddy's fault not yours.
Mr. WEO Posted July 17, 2018 Posted July 17, 2018 He was a rookie struggling at QB and got benched. That's how it goes. He's soft. He can't be a starting QB with that thin skin and tender make up. Just cash the checks for nothing EJ, you have no idea how good you have it. 1
