Guest Mike147 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 To be fair EJ does have a point regarding why he is unemployed and a QB like Peterman still has a job. I've said it before but we've surely seen enough of Peterman by now to know he hasn't got what it takes to be an NFL starting QB, or at least at this stage of his career? If that's the case, and as far as I'm concerned it has been since at the latest the Texans game, then Peterman should arguably have been cut by now and put on the practise squad since I doubt anyone would claim him. There are better free agent options out there, I wouldn't go back to EJ but I'd rather him be out there than Peterman and perhaps even Anderson as well. But to come back to EJ for a moment. He didn't really get the fairest of shots here in Buffalo. How many first round QBs do teams give up on after a season and a half into their career? Doug Marrone never seemed to be a supporter of him and quickly ditched him in year two for Kyle Orton. I'm struggling to think of another recent example of a first round QB that a team gave up on rather than stick with them and try to develop them through those ups and downs. I'm not saying EJ was going to be the GOAT, but this team didn't exactly support him like other teams do with their first round selected QBs.
sjjr Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 EJ never had a fair shake in Buffalo. For being a 1st round pick, the team never gave him a chance to really develop. He should have been given 2+ years and more than 20 starts without having some veteran breathing down his neck. Orton was here to play, not develop EJ. But that is what dysfunctional, losing franchises do most of the time. Unfortunately for Bills fans and EJ that time has past. Let's hope the Bills learn from that and develop Josh Allen the right way with McDermott/Daboll and Beane.

McNubbins Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 He is right. Peterman being on this team's roster is an embarrassment.

26CornerBlitz Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Absolutely a legitimate point to raise when Peterman is not worthy of being on any roster in the league.

EJ on occasion looked like a QB, but it was a mirage. That said, why do you think that no team has offered him a job even at the league minimum? This question is not rhetorical.

EJ performed at times, he just didn't pan out. my original question was pertaining to the knee jerk reactions.
