    EJ has been cleared to return.

    According the universe.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      No. Dan Dierdorf is the black hole of the media universe. It's where positivity is drawn in and destroyed.

        So Bills mobile does say he has been cleared, and that its up to the coaches to determine when he'll play. Was he not cleared when he was practicing last week??

          There is absolutely no reason to rush him back, if he's not 100% ready to go then sit him again this week. We have nothing to play for and while he needs the snaps another injury is the worst case scenario right now.

            Good if true. Perfect timing since Pittsburgh's defense is awful so should be an easy game to get back in the swing of things.

              The time table for his return was 4-6 weeks. If he plays Sunday it will be 5. Sounds like he's right on schedule.

                He needs to play so he can gain experience. Simple as that.

                    as tiny a likelihood that it is, the bills could still make the playoffs with a 6-1 record the rest of the way. this team doesnt appear ready to make that kind of run but they do appear to be on the brink

                    its marrones job to believe they can get that done so for him there is a reason to err on the side of getting their best qb option in there if at all possible. and for me as a fan i want to keep that faint possibility alive

                    if they have to go another game with Thaddiator or Stuel Sample they might be able to get a win against the suddenly awful steelers. but despite some good things weve learned about the backups weve also learned ej is the best option if all three were available to play

                        Re: EJ has been cleared to return.

                        i agree we need to have EJ playing in a lost season so that he's as good as he can be next year. The only caveat being, it's not worth rushing him this week with the bye the following week. give him 3 weeks to be fully healed to see how he performs for the last 5 games.

                        additionally, if he gets hurt again after being 100%, you might need to look at wasting another high draft pick on a QB. He'd be injury prone. 3 injuries in one season?

                        i like him and hope he's the answer, but we need accuracy from him (which should come as he gets comfortable with game speed and offense) and durability (something that isn't learned).

                          2 games out of the Wild Card with 7 games left, 4 of them against losing teams, 1 against .500 team (miami), 1 against 5-4 team the Jets (who hold final WC) and 1 against a team that will have division clinched, is nothing to play for?

                            Thank God! I can't bear another week of watching us throw some scrub QB in there who'll unwittingly sabotage the offense with boneheaded plays. If someone is going to screw up in there I'd rather it be a guy who we plan on developing long term.
