Training camp at St. John Fisher College will be here in no time at all.

Let's just fast forward and think 75 degrees and sunny for a moment in this hypothetical situation.

Training camp begins and all eyes are on EJ Manuel.

The weather is perfect, sun shining down on a new season of Bills football and then it happens.

Manuel drops back, throws, and misses his target by a mile.

2 Weeks Later

Manuel drops back, throws, and gets picked off by a rookie due to a horrible pass.

Sammy Watkins shakes his head in disbelief.

1 Day Later

Manuel drops back and throws the ball so high you'd think he was trying to make a completion to Jesus.

Robert Woods drops an F-Bomb so loud his vocal chords get injured in the process.

Eric Wood, Seantrel Henderson, and Cordy Glenn start tripping and have nightmarish flashbacks to 2014.

What to do about 'dat possible hypothetical hope to God it's not likely scenario but probably is?

In other words, if EJ Manuel shows absolutely no signs of improvement 2 weeks in to the 2015 Buffalo Bills training camp at St. John Fisher, what would you do?

I'd cut him.

If there's not a real QB on this roster by training camp, then none of this matters, because it will be a clear sign that the Bills are run by total ****ing idiots.

This just in, BTW, the end of July is not "no time at all." It's an assload of time. It's half a year away.

Are you insane?

Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result?

The same people here that loved Marrone & Hackett for EJ Manuel here 2 years ago now call them terrible and think Greg Roman is going to perform magic. The same guy that was roundly criticized in SF when Kaepernick turned for the worst.

At least Marrone has sped up the cycle of crap in Buffalo from every 3 years to every 2 years.

If his TC and preseason games make him look like the same EJ from the past two seasons then there is no reason for him to hold a regular season roster spot.

I'd say he'd have to show major improvement from the past two seasons to have any chance at the starting job.

EJ's poor performance in 2014 was not a surprise.

2 weeks in to training camp, the word started to spread.

EJ Manuel was struggling. He didn't get better, he was worse than 2013.

If Rex Ryan sees the same crap on tape 3 weeks in to the 2015 Buffalo Bills training camp, Manuel is going to get cut quicker than a steak at 5pm on Super Bowl Sunday.

Well, I blame poor Coaching on EJ's poor season.

Let's wait & see how he does this year.

And you're wrong.

That's not to say that he had good coaching.

That is to say that his problems are not fixable by coaching.

EJ Manuel didn't have coaching any worse last year than what he will be given with Roman, Lee and Palmer. The EJ circle-jerk team of betterdays, djkelly, and Dr. Whowhatwhere can also be known as team dopey. Their combined football IQ wouldn't raise above an IQ of 70.

If you were as great a judge of talent as you think you are, you would be working for an NFL team.

The Bills will probably have 4 to 5 QBs competing next training camp.

If EJ is not one of the top 3 then he gets cut. If he is one of the top 3 then he stays.

There is another thread going right now, that is full of posters that would more then happy to point out this wasn't EJ's fault in any which way. "Don't stop believing!"

Hahahaha!!!!

It doesn't take a genius to spot SUCK.

Especially when you've seen it over and over and over for 15 years.

It takes a fool keep believing in fairy tales.

Orton made EJ his *****. And Orton was basically worthless.

If you get your lunch money and your job taken by the likes of Kyle Orton, you are NEVER going to make it in the NFL.

Well, He was a dubious pick in the 1st round, even after the trade-down. But you perhaps recall my numerous rants about subjecting the neophyte to a quick-paced offensive scheme, about how what a terrible way that was to introduce a rookie QB into NFL play?

He'll have 2 other QB's competing with him, come camp. It will sort out itself.

And that's a big part of this. If he was picked in the 3rd (where he should have been drafted) I wouldn't be as hard on him. I still wouldn't want him to start. But, if he was drafted in the third, there wouldn't be this big push to save face and make him start.

I think picking Kiko mitigates the EJ pick even if EJ does not become a starter.

Kiko is BETTER than MANY players picked in the first rnd.

There is no push to start EJ to save face.

Marrone benched EJ last year (A HUGE mistake IMO) & Rex has said EJ will have to WIN the starters job this year.

Here it is folks. The betterdays post that will allow him to come back in September and allow him to try and sell you all on his "I told you so". ROFL. Oh, the work he puts in on it all.

Eli is better than Peyton at this point.

Does anyone think the Broncos would not have had as much success with Eli at QB as they did with Peyton this past year?

And I think the Bills would have had just as good a record with EJ as they did with Orton last year.

And if the Bills lost one or two more games with EJ starting than with Orton, SO WHAT?

The Bills did not make the playoffs anyway & the experience of playing would have benefited EJ for this year.

Hey, EJ is a likeable guy off the field like JP Losman was. I honestly hope he gets a nice long career holding the clipboard and coming in to relieve our starter. See, I don't mind if he is sailing balls over players' heads because he should be riding the pine watching a competent albeit mediocre starter managing the game. Hell, I wouldn't even mind putting him in at random moments throughout the game just to **** with the minds of opposing defenses, but as a fulltime starter? Hell ****ing no.

Well, any game manager better manage the game better than Orton did this year.
