Hopefully this will be the death knell for his career.

As a Bills fan, my hope is that he plays lights out.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

He's earned another chance. But I still think he would have to play really really well in this game to take the job from either Tyrod or Cassel.

But this is it, this is his shot. If he messes up he wont be the starter. End discussion there

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

Does Rex Ryan have to announce ahead of before game day who will be the starter? Ryan could make havoc on the Colts trying to figure out who to prepare for especially since they are different style QBs.

Maybe trying to highlight EJ for a trade or...........

They are trying to trade Cassel.

As a Bills fan I want them to play the best QB and he's not it. But it's ok. I can see what's going on any way. They gave the real starter the most reps in practice this week so he's ready to go.

I hope the camera men know to wear helmets at this game on Saturday.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

interesting. Why would Rex do this? Hasn't he read this board?

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

ej needs to play consistent with passes on the mark. who cares if he's 3 of 12 or 11-12. if his passes are where they are supposed to be, i'm happy with him.

and i'd see where the number 2 qb plays. is he consistent with guys he doesn't play with? if that's the case for tyrod, then he's done better than i expected through camp and in preseason.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

This is Rex telling EJ ..... "this is it man, here's your shot with the ones vs ones. No more 3rd stringers. Put up or shut up time"

This is big for Manuel. I don't think he has a shot at starting even if he does well. But at least he would earn his roster spot which I've always thought was in danger. May the odds be ever in your favor EJ.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

WOW is all i can say.


remember rex saying something about russell wilson going from 3 to 1 earlier this camp.

well everyone thought he was talking about tyrod .

i guess not.

regardless let the best man win.

even this start means nothing right now.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

It's good to see Rex giving EJ's a fair shake. I hope he's improved from the Marrone/Hackett fiasco and can be a viable starter or a good backup for us. If not, either cut him or maybe try converting him to a TE/emergency QB type of player.

This is weird. Real weird.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

very interesting. and for those of you who think he has a chance to be the starter (even if he plays great in the 1 quarter he will get in this game) you are truly delusional. I like EJ and think he is worth keeping around. But he's not a viable starting option for this team. That is to say, the people that run the organization are not seriously considering him for the job. If you need to keep telling yourself that they are (despite the rep distribution these last two months) then IDK what to say. I hope he plays great and either earns a spot as the 3rd QB on the team or lands us a trade of some value.

Re: EJ gets start vs Pittsburgh

I think this is a showcase to see if he can be a viable backup. If that is the case, I think it's bye Cassel and his 5m goes to Dareus
