God knows, we have seen plenty of non-starter starters playing for the Bills since #12 hung 'em up. And typically, we've seen plenty of rookie mistakes.
Those include holding onto the ball for too long (the most common, I think), throwing into double coverage or being fooled by schemes designed to confuse novices. Fumbling, etc.
But the inaccuracy we've seen in EJ is far scarier than any of those, and it may be incurable. He was abysmal again in that department last night, and his second most glaring flaw was again on full display--his complete lack of touch on short passes. He throws Nolan Ryan fastballs to receivers on 5 yard slant routes.
Other than the last drive against Carolina and a few nice throws, he has been awful, and not in ways that rookie QBs are normally awful.
These problems are mental and fundamental, and I'm really beginning to think they're not fixable.
