    It's Official. Thad to start

    Just announced.

    Buffalo Bills@buffalobills1m
    Doug Marrone: #Bills QB EJ Manuel (knee) did not progress as needed. Thad Lewis will start at QB vs. Patriots.
    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.

      This is all to protect EJ and their decision to draft him. If any other QB had this injury he would be out there and just be a less mobile QB. However, they don't want EJ to struggle and they know he will if he isn't fully mobile.

      If anything they should use this as a development tool. He needs to sit in the pocket and make throws.

        There kneeds to be a better plan than Knee. J. Mehnuel going forward.

            Warranted or not, get ready for many months ahead of "QB Controversy" talk.

              Marrone wont hand the job to anyone, there will be a competition, both Thad, EJ and some other players will have the opportunity.

                They better find someone who is better than Glass KneeJ in the offseason.

                Or else we'll all be subjected to another season that looked like this one.

                  Awesome.

                  So now that's EJ's season is over, what's his grade?

                  I give him an F.

                  Injury prone.
                  Inconsistent, if anything consistently bad.
                  Accuracy is terrible, not sure accuracy can be taught.

                  EJ had 135 Drives this year.
                  20 resulting in a touchdown.
                  64 ended with a Punt.
                  92 of those drives were for 5 plays or less.

                      I like Thad. I don't see him as the future, but the dude will make a meaningless game much more entertaining to watch. If he doesn't fumble, he might even steal a win.

                              In comparison Denver has had 191 drives this year in which 67 ended in touchdowns.

                              Oddly the Bills offense is #1 for amount of drives this year with 203.
