Which path will EJ Manuel most likely follow?

[Don't Panic]

In your opinion, which of these four QBs will Manuel most likely resemble when its all said and done?

[Goobylal]

None of them.

[Bling]

EJ is going to be like nothing seen before.

Think he can be whatever the coach wants him to be. He can be a running QB ala Kaep or he can be a pocker passer.

[Ed]

EJ Manuel

[Bling]

if you're that picky I guess Big Ben

[Don't Panic]

I guess I should have put Kaepernick in as an option... might be a bit ambitious IMO.

[Strongman]

Kordell Stewart

[trapezeus]

i feel a vince young approach. he will be a good addition early, but will struggle to become better in years 2-4. which evebrually sets the bills back several years.

[Mr. Pink]

Daunte Culpepper.

Shine bright, then flame out.

Hopefully he shines bright longer.

[Fixxxer]

Who da **** knows, but it sure will be exciting to see how things develop.

[Meathead]

air mcnair without the crazy white girlfriend

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Aaron Rodgers.

Unfortunately with the concerns about his mental toughness around, I worry that a Young career path is possible.

[sukie]

HA HA... Kordell Stewart.... Nice.

[Pinkerton Security]

None of the above, considering I doubt he starts to begin the year?

Concerns from whom/where?

With what RGIII and Wilson did last season, i'll be surprised if Manuel doesn't start

I will be surprised if Manuel does start............................unless Kolb gets injured.

At worst, Jason Campbell.

One of those guys with talent, good enough to start, but never ends being quite productive enough to stay a starter.


At best, Joe Montana - 4 time SB winner.

What about like a Josh Freeman?

Josh Freeman's college stats: 3 years, 35 games , 680 of 1151 for 59%, 8078 yards, 44 TDs, 34 INTs, 343 rushing yards, 20 rushing TDs
Manuels college stats: 4 years, 40 games, 600 of 897 for 66.9%, 7736 yards, 47 TDs, 28 INTs, 779 rushing yards, 11 TDs

[better days]

I heard an interview with a Bills scout on the John Murphy show before the draft. He described Manuel as RAW with a HIGH upside.

I think the Bills have him redshirt a year & let him develop behind Kolb for a year.

Honestly i see it like this

Horrible- Pat White

Bad- Travaris Jackson

Good- Jake Plummer

Great- Ben

Talent wise, he seems to be on par with Freeman (a guy I thought should have sat for a year or two). But I bring up Campbell because, at least to me, there seems to be a little hesitancy on his part, and a little too much reliance on the checkdown. Campbell's a more talented Trent Edwards.

I hope Manuel isn't, and I admit I've only seen a handful of his games. I'm just not enamored with his pocket presence, especially in the face of pressure. (except setting up screens, he does that well).

[Mski]

i really dont think he will be like any of those listed, but for the sake of the poll i chose Newton, but as FTY mentioned i think one of the former NFL guys he most resembles is Culpepper
