At the very least, I think Lewis has locked up a roll as the Bills backup quarterback.
15/25 193 yards, 0 TD's, 1 pick and a win today - his second victory over the Fish this season.
Are the football gods trying to tell us something here?
A 60% completion percentage against a team that beat the Pats last week, had everything to play for at 8-6 and were fighting for a playoff birth. Not bad, not bad at all for the kid from Duke.
He has only played 5 professional football games, but he's just as good as EJ Manuel is. I don't think anyone on this board would say EJ is, "clearly the better quarterback." I don't even think anyone would say EJ Manuel, "clearly has more upside and potential."
Is Thad Lewis a better quarterback than EJ Manuel?
He's smarter, quicker and more decisive with his throws and it shows.
Does he read defenses faster and better than EJ Manuel? Does he make the right adjustments and have a better sense of when to run the ball?
Does Thad Lewis make better decisions?
I think he does. On the deep throw to Woods I saw on the news and watched online, Lewis stood in the pocket, took the big hit and delivered the ball on target. The guy can take a hit, he hangs in the pocket and doesn't get happy feet and try to spin away from every pass rusher.
On pass plays of 15 yards or more, which QB has the higher completion percentage?
As a percentage of their throws, which QB throws deeper down field more often?
Nobody has ever accused Thad Lewis of checking down too much, or called him, "Thad Edwards."
While listening to the game on the radio, it just sounded like Lewis had more of a command of this offense with less experience than EJ has.
Lewis spread the ball around today without Stevie Johnson, without Goodwin after he got hurt, and without Woods after he got ejected.
Who do you want to start next week vs. New England?
