Can the Bills bench EJ before week 1?

[TakingItuptheChin]

We have a much better chance of making the playoffs if Orton is the starter than this worthless bum and perennial loser, EJ Manuel. EJ was absolute crap in the 5 pre season games against 1st stringers and I'm absolutely sure he will crap out again in the regular season.

I predict:

13 - 3 if Orton plays the entire season
4 - 12 if EJ plays the entire season

[Novacane]

You highly overrate Kyle Orton

[ServoBillieves]

No.

[YardRat]

OK, who is the loser that doesn't have the balls to sack up and post under their existing username?

[Skooby]

If we cut EJ, not one other team would retain his services to start. Yet, he's great for our starting QB.

Anybody care to refute this statement?

Didn't think so.

It can't be refuted. It's a fact. Still doesn't change the fact that thread after thread about EJ sucking is past the point of ridicules. He is who we are stuck with for now.

I hear ya, but it's therapeutic to ***** about. Football is the greatest sport on earth, yet we are guaranteed another year of no playoffs b/c of this guy

First, they'd have to own an initial set of balls.

Defense and a solid running game... Please God give us a great defense and a solid running game...

[Mr. Pink]

With Orton this is an 8-10 win football team with a shot of getting the 6 seed.

With EJ this is a 5 win football team that's giving Cleveland a top 10 pick.

It's in stone. Also our OC is about as old as Orton, so they should be able to communicate together at a better level than a ~24 year guy with bad footwork.

I agree.

This is sort of a dated analogy, but I can see this team being like the 2001 Bears if we get some stability at QB. We don't need Kyle Orton to be Peyton Manning, we just need him to be like 2001 Jim Miller.

Miller didn't do anything great, he just quietly did his job, kept the offense in rhythm, and let the D create opportunities.

If EJ crashes and burns (I'd prefer he just magically improve though), I think Orton can help us win games.

[Jry44]

If Kyle Orton is THAT good, then why in the hell hasn't he started a single game since getting benched for....... wait for it.... TIM TEBOW!?

I really like the signing. He's a solid vet that can manage a game for us. However to say that he can come in and win 13 games is profusely over rating the guy. He's on what... his 5th team?

Again, solid back up. And yes.... better than EJ. But he's not the savior that's taking us to the playoffs.

[Turf]

This thread is just silly. No NFL team would do this. I hope you're not serious.

Was alcohol involved in this formulation?

Seriously, I think with Orton this is an 8-8 or 9-7 team. With EJ its a 5-11 or 6-10 team.

Victim of TebowMania.

[Generalissimus Gibby]

Tebow time starts week 12 and we blunder into the playoffs? No, probably we miss by just like one game and people ***** because if we had signed the Running back earlier. . . .

:rofl: What a freakin dreamer.

[YardRat]

This is going to be a 4-12 to 10-6 team regardless of who is behind center. It's all on the defense and oline, and how much the QB (whoever that may be) can avoid killer mistakes.

[Fletch]

That's how we roll as a team. You know that by now.

[Jry44]

Except for the fact that Denver has been a playoff contender ever since the second they benched Orton. So you can't blame Tebowmania.

If the Bills cut EJ, it will be with good reason.

In that event, of course no other team would sign him to start.

[Skooby]

If the team disbanded, EJ still wouldn't start anywhere else.

[trapezeus]

if ej doesnt start week 1, whaley or marrone was fired. they would look like complete *******s

[tatersalad]

he might start in st louis

[Mike]

With Orton this is an 8-10 win football team with a shot of getting the 6 seed.

With EJ this is a 5 win football team that's giving Cleveland a top 10 pick.

If he plays lights out... Maybe

It would be worth watching bills in that case. Orton is defiantly serviceable bit just as I predicted this year EJ will lead us to a top 5 pick and next year Orton will lead us to that 6-8 wins....

In other words, the FO screwed the pooch by trading their first next year and why should they care if they are not around?

[Mike]

There is no avoiding that regardless of what they do!

[better days]

If EJ were made available this year, he probably would not start this year, but I guarantee some team would pick him up & it is possible he would start in the future.

Ok, that's something I can agree with. He's good enough for our Bills though, which is what matters if we don't want to win now. Do you think these coaches keep their jobs if the team is losing & we get a new owner ??

I think EJ is on a short leash. If EJ totally craps the bed & the Bills lose because of his play, I could see him take a seat like Mike Glennon this year.

IMO Marrone is on the HOT seat.
