Did EJ Manuel Win The Backup Quarterback Competition?

[BillsImpossible]

I think it's a resounding yes.

Regardless of cap hit money, EJ showed more potential than Matt Cassel.

EJ won the job by being aggressive and making big throws.

EJ Manuel is a young cat that can be taught new tricks.

Matt Cassel is an old dog that's been crapping all over the NFL for 10 years and is near being taken out behind the shed.

Old Yeller, or EJ Manuel to backup Tyrod Taylor?

He won the starting QB competition.

Oh well.

He will be starting by week 3.

If Taylor gets hurt, I'd rather have a quarterback like EJ Manuel running the offense instead of Cassel.

Hurt or ineffective.

Agreed on EJ as the #2 but what happens if EJ shows that his preseason was a sham or reverts to his "old form"? Again Cassel is an insurance policy that's worth keeping around IMHO. As I like EJ as much as anyone but still have questions about his play.

What if he actually received some coaching and direction at QB for the first time in his life this past few months ?

Looks like he's being told to finally just trust his reads and let it fly. The results have been far better than what I've seen from Cassel. I'd much rather have him as the backup over stone footed Capt. Checkdown.

I agree with you, but you're one of the people that wish to see me gone from this board so suck my 8 inch fat **** and go away from anything I say.

For the first time in his career, EJ Manuel has a coaching staff that know what the F their doing.

It shows.

the absolute best thing this front office can do is cut cassell, pay dareus and roman and give roman a new title - assistant HC/OC and pay him to stick around for 2 more years to groom a replacement for when he takes a HC gig.

EJ still sucks and never did progressed. If he faces a real defense in the regular season, he will make the same moronic mistakes he has been doing for the past 2 years. EJ will be cut or traded before regular season starts.
