            Didn't like the pick last year and still don't like it. They felt the need to draft a QB because of the pressure and failures. Too bad all the QBs were garbage last year. Now they are stuck with him until they are forced to pick another one in the 2nd rd next year and he will be bad too...ugh...

              First day of minicamp folks. It was 90 degrees and humid as hell.

              Minicamp is a joke. Every player is thinking to themselves, "don't get injured before training camp."

              Manuel and the entire offense including the rookies are being given open access to the entire playbook. Mistakes are going to happen.

              Muscle memory and repetition. The light will soon go on for EJ Manuel and when it does it's going to be like Lite-Bright in Buffalo.

                  4 of Manuel's INTs last year came in one game. One thing with Manuel is he wasn't as reckless as say Geno Smith was with the ball. Which to me is a sign of a good QB. The biggest concern for me and Manuel was his inability to stay healthy and some of his slow starts in games. Yet if you toss his injuries aside and prorate his numbers over a full 16 game schedule I think he played above average for a rookie. Time will tell but considering he wasn't even supposed to see the field last year but was forced to when Kolb got hurt I think we have a bright future.

                    "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

                    "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

                    "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

                      Sure, with whoever is physically able to perform.

                        The biggest concern for me was his inability to put anything even remotely close to 4 quarters of solid football together. By my recollection the best he did was 2 quarters.

                        That's obviously inadequate in the NFL.

                          and again he was a rookie last year that by all accounts was supposed to stay on the bench but forced to start because of injury and he himself came off an injury all considered I think EJ did good. Was it enough to say he's our long term answer? Nope but saw sparks that you look for but he has to show improved play this year before I'm anointing him the solution to our QB woes.

                            Great, he looks like shLt against our scrubs.

                            And we don't have a 1st round pick to replace him next year.

                            Just friggin great.

                              He's a rookie last season, now he has a new playbook & then we'll hear about the tough break. 14 years of tough breaks / excuses.
