Collins, Flutie, Johnson, Van Pelt, Bledsoe, Losman, Edwards, Fitzpatrick.
The biggest difference?
I think he's better than all of them. He's got the physical tools, he's got the mental tools, he most definitely has the will, and perhaps the most important/biggest difference between EJ and previous Bills QB's since Jim Kelly is how his teammates really like him as the leader of their team.
Collins wasn't a leader. Manuel is.
Flutie's ego rubbed too many guys the wrong way. Manuel doesn't really have an ego.
Johnson was a guy who never acted like he wanted to be here. Manuel seems happy to be in Buffalo.
Van Pelt was a good backup. Comparing the Dough Boy to EJ isn't fair.
Bledsoe was less mobile than the Statue of Liberty. Manuel is mobile.
Losman never earned the respect of his teammates. Manuel is far more mature.
Edwards was a gamer until he got his bell rung too many times as a smaller QB. EJ is much bigger.
Fitzpatrick was a gamer too but his arm strength was limited and the long ball wasn't in his vocabulary. EJ can throw the long ball.
Manuel's health is the biggest concern, but I don't think it's the biggest difference between the rest.
