We'll consider cutting back the playbook for EJ-D.Marrone

[Raptor]

Just said it in his pressor...Translation: he is a lot slower learner than we thought or told you


let me ask, where are all the clueless fans that bought into the nonsense that the FSU offense was more complicated than the Bills system, as per EJ said it was?

When those who actually follow college football knew that Jimbo had to dumb it down for EJ. Don't believe me? Look at that same offense now with Winston. FSU was/is actually able to open his playbook with a legit QB. What you see at FSU is what the offense was supposed to look like with a QB that can grasp it

He doesn't need to dumb it down. He needs to change his crappy protection schemes and change the routes to have guys be actually open.

Thad and Tuel seems to find those open receivers

Offense looks pretty dumb downed already, nothing but slants and shallow crosses, what more can they cut?

What games were you watching? The 1 game out of 5 that we won? Tuel has thrown 1 TD and 3 INT's and stunk up the field against KC. He hasn't posted a single game with over 47% completion numbers. But he's good?

Lewis? He's done better but has 1 win out of 3 games and almost as many INT's as TD's. He had one good game.

Let's not drink the dirt in the mirage here. None of these guys, including EJ, are playing at a solid starting QB level yet.

Xera , you really have to stop defending ej. He's been terrible.

How much further can you dumb down constant dump offs and slants?

Really?

Let's call it like it is, Manuel is looking very trentative at this point. Kind of silly though to say Tuel found open receivers, he did, though they weren't wearing the right uniforms. Lewis is a gamer. Looks like the guy at backup to me, but not "The Guy".

I guess the thing I still don't get in accumulating fast guys, is why they don't seem to ever heave it way down there to them, while they are being fast. It doesn't seem like complex coaching to say "look, this play lines everyone up to sprint long, just look to see which has the best jump and throw it that way as far as you can". One of them is bound to get a linebacker, and it doesn't seem a complicated read. Or "look, all you fast guys criss cross and go long" Only problem with it is that the offensive line needs to sort of slow people down a few seconds maybe.

Oh how it pains me to see Manuel looking trentative, but 3 more games to stop it or who knows ?

So it's going to get more boring than it already is? I'm not bothering to watch the last 3 games.

oh riiiiight I forgot, everyone else's fault but the crappy play of the QB. Got it

I don't recall anybody supporting the notion that the FSU offense was more complicated than the Bills.

Why did we draft a project QB, that everyone knows is a project in the 1st round, when we could have had him in the 3rd? Why? Because we are the same old Bills.

Tuel had 1 game vs a better defense than what EJ faced yesterday yet he was able to score a TD when he found GOODWIN deep. That's what I watched. EJ has has WAAAY more snaps and waaay more experience yet he stinks as much as Tuel at times.

You can defend EJ all you want but the coach has spoken. Dumb down the playbook for EJ.

It's just like Gailey was going to turn Fitzpatrick from a mid-tier backup into a franchise QB. Idiocy!

Bob Mathews, WHAM1180 in Rochester, has been consistently critical about Nix's decision to draft Manuel since before the day of the draft. It speaks volumes about Manuel that his old alma mater is playing a lot better now with HIM gone.
