    They're not as, "all in," on EJ Manuel as we think.

    What would you do?
    Oh please, yeah right, they're going to bench a 1st-rounder last year for an undrafted free agent.

    Sorry, but if Manuel continues to play poorly, he's going to start as long as he's healthy or Whaley's going to look twice as ridiculous as he's bound to look anyway. At that point he may as well just had in his resignation slip and not wait for the pink one.

    These wild imaginations are what make reading here so much fun.

            Re: Marrone Is Running Out of Patience, Declares A Backup QB Competition

            So Marrone wants to send a message to EJ and therefore he declares an open competition for ... the backup QB !?!?!?

            That makes sense... lol.


            Yardrat:
            I think cutting Ramses Barden is a message to Robert Woods that he better produce or the waiver wire isn't far behind for him either. Just reading between the lines, of course.


            Exactly !!!

                  Are you still all in?

                  Defensive coordinators have had all off season to devour Manuel's strengths and weaknesses.

                  Schwartz is looking at game film and devising defensive plans against Manuel based on 10 games in 2013.

                  Manuel needs to improve, or else.
                  You don't really expect that to be the case do you?

                    The question is why didn't they figure this out in the off season. What the hell were they doing?

                      They did try to figure this out during the offseason. They failed.

                      The time to have "figured this out" was prior to reaching to draft him. It's too late now. To suggest that the way that Manuel is playing was not predictable is ludicrous. Two guys spent more time than anyone assessing Manuel and to date they are spot on. Didn't our marvelous scouting team, led by Whaley, ever read that article? What were they actually looking at besides merely superficial nonsense that they should be overlooking.

                      Meanwhile, the ones getting screwed, again, is us. Hopefully this results in the end of the honeymoon for Whaley and the absurd notion that he's the next up-and-coming genius among NFL GMs. It gets old reading stuff like that as he runs the team into the ground more than the prior horrible GMs we've had.

                      Oh please please please please give us a new owner that cares about winning!! Pleeeeaaasseee!!!!

                          What if EJ Manuel continues to struggle with his accuracy, throws 0 TD's, 7 Int's in 5 preseason games, and Jeff Tuel threw 10 TD's, and 1 Int in 5 preseason games, 3 against starters?

                          Are you still all in?

                          Defensive coordinators have had all off season to devour Manuel's strengths and weaknesses.

                          Schwartz is looking at game film and devising defensive plans against Manuel based on 10 games in 2013.

                          Manuel needs to improve, or else.

                          Since we are making up numbers what if Tuel has 18TD's and 0 int's and runs for 400 yards in his 5 games and EJ has 2TD's 21 int's and gets arrested with 6 Haitian prostitutes.


                          Does that sway the decision.



                          This is fun, making **** up.

                            Jeff Tuel will not see snaps with the first teamers in preseason...good lord.

                            And how does Manuel have anything to do with a competition for backup QB?

                              French or Creole?

                                I think Tuel looked pretty good last year ... he also looked like he wasn't ready.
