Could Tuel Step Forward & Be Manuels' Backup ?

He has an upside. Had an entire off-season to improve and would like to see him as next man in.

Lewis does not have an upside, IMO. Too many turnovers and limited arm. Being a cheerleader carries you only so far. Thanks for beating Miami twice but he was brutal to watch most of the time.

Could Tuel step up be the back up? Sure, it's technically possible.

It's also technically possible that I win $100 million in the lottery, invest it and turn it into $2 billion in time to outbid Pegula and buy the Bills, and my wife is so happy about it that she invites a lingerie model to join us in a threesome.

I wouldn't hold my breath on either of those though.

Tuel didn't have as much e perience as EJ in college and hardly had any snaps as Ej during camps and practices compared to Ej. Yet, Ej at times has looked just as bad. I am not advocating for Tuel to start. Just stating observations between the 1st vs 3rd qb. If you think we should give Ej a chance as a starter we should give Tuel a break as well as a back up if we are to use last years circumstances.

And in comparison to Thad Lewis, Tuel did not have as much experience either.

I don't think it is unrealistic to think he could overtake Thad.

Thad still has more experience compared to Tuel when he joined the bills. The difference is that Thad can run the read option because he is more mobile. I know its only OTa's and the pads haven't come on but Tuel could have a better arm than Thad .

Lewis is the best QB on the roster.

OK, if you are right about that we should see Lewis start opening day.

Care to make a bet about that?

Of course he won't be, there's an investment in Manuel as a 1st round pick. That doesn't mean he's the best QB on the roster.

Performance last year, on field, showed who was the best QB on the roster.

Lewis had a higher completion percentage, lower INT percentage, higher rating, higher YPA, higher YPC.

Well, let's see the numbers.

Especially with a new owner coming, one would think Marrone needs to win & if Lewis is the best QB on the roster & gives the Bills the best chance to win, why wouldn't Marrone start him over EJ?

Buffalo News today

Jeff Tuel received some reps with the second team during today's practice, and Marrone declared the backup quarterback job behind EJ Manuel to be there for the taking between Tuel and Thad Lewis.
"We’re trying to find out who it’s going to be and Jeff did a nice job in OTAs and he’s earned himself some more reps," Marrone said.

And reports I am hearing today on WGR is that Thad has not looked good.

It could be Tuel time.

I'm starting to believe that Tuel being the #2 is entirely possible.

Well, you may be, but NOT ME!

Not really.

[Turf]

Lewis looked awful. Tuel didn't look bad but the kid has the worst luck.

[k-oneputt]

Right now Tuel looks like the best qb on the team.

Think about that for a moment.
