    What would you consider a good season for EJ this year?

    Obviously the strongest measurement of success for Manuel this year will be wins. I was curious what kind of numbers people thought he needed to put up to have a good season though. I noticed Yahoo projects him for 3600 yards, 18 TDs and 11 picks with 253 rushing yards. I'd think 4000 yards and 24 TDs would be good goals for him this year. I'm not as concerned about the rushing yards since I don't expect Marrone and Hackett to have designed runs for him too often this year. As for the picks, those could fluctuate quite a bit as he obviously is still going to make some mistakes. Anything under 12 would be good I suppose... wouldn't be surprised if that number hit 15 though.

    So since the feeling is that the fate of this season essentially lies on the success of EJ, what do you think his numbers need to be to have what would be considered a good season?

      ok and what would that be 10 wins
      make playoffs
      28 tds 10ints
      top ten yds top 15 tds and top 5 turnovers

      add something instead of the same garbage we get it u dont like the qb or the pick but hes the qb for atleast another year

      i am looking for ej to cut down on turnvers improve td/int ratio and improve his comp% those 3 = more wins i believe

        Playing the full 16 season is vital. Hopefully get us to an 8-8 or better record. In terms of personal stats, 58-61% completion percentage, 3200-3750 yards 18-24 TDs 10-14 INTs, 300-500 yards rushing and 1-4 rushing TDs.

            I honestly don't care about statistics. If the team is in contention going into the last few games of the season, he's done his part

              Well, there's definitely some correlation. The better QBs numbers-wise tended to be on more successful teams. In our case, there's legitimate reason for optimism at every other area on the team. QB is the great unknown. So the better his numbers, the better we most likely are in wins and losses.

                I personally see a lot of similarities between what the Bills have built, and the Seahawks (outside of QB). Because of that, Manuel doesn't need to win games, he just needs to be a bus driver, and not lose games.

                  tds have to be double the ints

                  that ratio is so key to winning and losing that everything else is mostly secondary for a young qb. iow, a good team can win with a guy who has mediocre season stats (3000 yds passing, 55% completion rate, 50+ sacks) as long as he produces double the tds to sacks

                      Half of those can be accomplished by playing the same amount of games as everyone else.

                        Stay healthy, remain the starter, and be in a position to make the playoffs.

                          Getting the ball out of his hands quickly to his many playmakers and staying healthy.

                            Better touch on his passes, better field vision to see the throw before he makes it, and a better feel in the pocket.

                              Half if you mean 2.

                              28% is the new 50%
