All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
C.J. Spiller: EJ Manuel was too “buddy buddy” with other players
C.J. Spiller: EJ Manuel was too “buddy buddy” with other players
“He learned that you can’t be buddy buddy with everybody,” Spiller said during an appearance on NFL Network. “You’re the face of the franchise, you’re the quarterback so you have to demand everything…I think early on he didn’t really didn’t understand how to step on guys’ toes. Once Kyle took over, he saw what Kyle did and it helped him.”
Re: C.J. Spiller: EJ Manuel was too “buddy buddy” with other players
They keep referring to his " Leadership ".. but that can't help you when your 20 yard passes to the WR's aren't anywhere near him 2 out of 3 throws.
At mini-camp, I'd have him throw timing patterns to Woods, Watkins and Hogan until his hands bled. He must understand this is his last shot with a new staff that owes him nothing.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

When people keep saying they'd be Ok with EJ starting, all i can think of are those deep sideline passes where the ball ended up a good 5 yards out of bounds and the receiver had zero shot at the ball...and that was the norm. He has no touch on deep passes, and really is inaccurate on a majority of all throws.

Wait, are you talking about Kyle Orton? I remember plenty of those passes.
Yes, you're right. Now Orton is gone, no reason we cant get someone who *hopefully* WONT throw those kind of passes.
I don't disagree. Just because I think Orton sucks doesn't mean I don't EJ does. But I think EJ is young and has plenty of room to grow, why give up on him so quickly?

Fair enough. I just have severe doubts he will ever become anything more than sub par. I hope he does.

Interesting the one comment on PFT guy claiming he has a friend of a friend lol who tip backed drinks with Pegula and Pegula telling him they have "agreements" drawn up with a FA QB and FA OL and they are just waiting for Free Agency to start
