EJ Manuel: "The Bills never gave me the chance to Grow"

[Wally The Barber]

EJ Manuel, the Buffalo Bills’ 2013 first-round draft pick, officially became a member of the Oakland Raiders on Monday. Manuel signed a one-year deal as Derek Carr’s backup on a contract which will pay him $800k none of which is guaranteed.
Manuel, who played the good soldier throughout his Bills’ tenure, opened up about his frustrations with his roller-coaster playing time during his four years as a member of the Bills. He took a few shots at the team when John Kryk of the Toronto Sunasked, noting that he “never had a chance to grow or fight through those growing pains” while a member of the Bills. < Snip>

I guess the future will tell. I've moved on in the search for our next franchise QB... Hope they finally get serious about it.

BTW Barber... I need a brazillian and a bleach.

Nobody ever said that professional sports is fair. I think it is safe to say that many careers among athletes have been affected by circumstances beyond those athletes' control, and not just injuries. Teams have to do what the coaches and front office personnel feel is the best for the team, and often that is not what is best for many individual players. That's why athletes have to make the most of it when they have the chance. EJ fell on his face when he had the chance to do something.

What this guy needs is glasses

Can't read a defense or find an open WR

Even when he did the pass was always on the wrong side of the receiver

I hope he finds a nice house in Cleveland

This is exactly what I said about Tyrod before we restructured his deal.

His last game as a Buffalo Bill was brutal.

He needs to shut up because he sucked and the coaching staffs should be applauded for not sticking with Whaleys blunder!

Re: EJ Manuel: "The Bills never gave me the chance to Grow"

I give EJ a pass on his entire rookie year.
But that Jags game was something... That was an implosion I dont think I have ever witnessed in my 25+ years of watching football.

What was he expecting....a raise or an extension?
