Tuel gone

[THRILLHO]

Good. Now we don't have to hear "Tuel Time" anymore.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Is he PS eligible?

[stuckincincy]

My oh my. It was only last year when folks were fretting about him being plucked if he went to the practice squad.

[The Jokeman]

Is he PS eligible?

I can't find and too lazy too look up games suited up numbers but I think he should be.

[ServoBillieves]

Tuel Time.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Good ****ing riddance, but really he should have been gone immediately after the Chiefs game

[GingerP]

Is he PS eligible?

Yes, he is if they want to make him one of their 2 extended eligibility players that were added this year.

I guess BillsImpossible now has the answer to whether Tuel is the next Tom Brady.

[Don't Panic]

So 2 QBs? A tad bit dangerous...

[Mr. Pink]

Well when you pick up a legitimate NFL QB as a backup, you don't need to carry 3 scrub QBs.

[swiper]

He knows the offense. I'm thinking he must be PS eligible. When is the PS announced?

All the cuts are on the waiver wire now. The phones are busy.

[paladin warrior]

Bills have 2 QBs :shocked: Now Bills are Big DOOM. How many suppose to be keep QB 2? 3? 4?

[paladin warrior]

what if Both QBs hurt and both out in the game.. Bills will be Forfeit the game without 3rd and 4th back QB

I don't know if I'd consider EJ a "legitimate" NFL backup.

[Albany,n.y.]

Yes, he is if they want to make him one of their 2 extended eligibility players that were added this year.

Only if he marries a supermodel.

[Oaf]

If EJ was undrafted, he'd have been cut too then.

Why didn't Tuel have the chance to play himself out the position like Thad Dixon & Palmer? What was wrong with him exactly?

[Typ0]

I don't understand this. We need a third QB in the system and Tuel can be on the PS. What's up with this?

[stuckincincy]

You are right about Manuel - he would have been shown the gate.

As to Teul et al...they forked over $ for Orton, he fills the back-up roll - potentially, and keeping 3 qbs on the roster is increasingly rare.

[BillsOverDolphins]

Would've preferred to keep him, despite the lingering memory of that Chiefs pick last year. Wish we could've cut EJ, but we're kinda forced to deal with that charade since he was a first round pick. {cringes}

[Mr. Miyagi]

Boyd got cut too. Bring him in to throw to his buddy Sammy.

[Mace]

So much for Whaley and Marrone being comfortable with their quarterback situation. I sure am glad we hired Downing to work with the QB's we were all set with.

[TacklingDummy]

Bring in Tebow.

[Strongman]

I can't believe they just cut him and didn't try and trade him. /SARCASM

[SpikedLemonade]

Sure does not make Whaley and Marrone look good.

[The Jokeman]

Meh Boyd was horrible from all the preseason reports I read. I'm not sure he is anything better than Tuel was.

[sudzy]

Their going into the season with a 2nd string QB that has had the playbook for a week.

[starrymessenger]

Tuel is ps eligible and I assume that's where he's headed, at least until Orton is up to speed on the playbook and in playing shape.
Tuel may stay on the ps too. Would not be surprised.

almost reminds me of that time...

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4446060

"Unhappy with his offense's dismal performance this past month, Jauron fired Turk Schonert on Friday, a day after the Bills closed the preseason with a 17-6 loss to Detroit. "

[The Jokeman]

I agree as it makes logical sense to do this. I mean is everyone forgetting we cut Thad Lewis in final roster cut down day last year and had him serve on the PS until the first few weeks.

[DynaPaul]

Goodbye Jeff "Deer in the Headlights" Tuel.

[Mace]

Sure does not make Whaley and Marrone look good.

Another year Spiked, another year....

[ZAZusmc03]

Tuel is headed to the PS, where he should be. I have no problem with that.

[RedEyE]

Honestly surprised to see this. As many injuries EJ has had I expected a 3QB deep roster.

[paladin warrior]

How about Tyler Wilson ?? to be 3rd back up QB. Cinn Bengals cut him

[bleve]

He's baaaaack...

As expected.
