    all that draft stuff is irrelevant. They are professional football players now and have had a season and off season to prepare. They should be putting the best QB they have on the field.

    We're all guilty of being grammatically incorrect, including yourself!

    You used the ampersand symbol.

    Should have said:

    "This whole topic is a mix of illiteracy, and conjecture...."

    The scouting reports had it right on EJ.

    NFL.com scouting report.

    STRENGTHS Physically imposing passer. Throws from the shotgun often, but is also effective on play action. Flashes the velocity to stretch the field and throw in tight spaces. Displays good touch on throws to each level of the field, finds receivers between defenders and drop passes over their head. Good athlete with the mobility to step up in the pocket to avoid pressure and take advantage of openings to pick up first downs with his feet. Quick release, though it often looks as though he's throwing darts on shorter throws. Intelligent, high character team leader.
    BOTTOM LINE As gifted as any quarterback in the class, with a strong arm and good mobility. Scouts appreciate his leadership qualities and toughness (played through his mom's cancer treatments and a broken leg in 2011's Champs Sports Bowl win over Notre Dame), and hope he can improve on his consistency. Manuel has the velocity and mobility teams look for in a project quarterback.

    It's funny how you just look and post ( I can do that too) all the negative stuff and overlook the positive to make your argument. So if the scouts were right on as you say, EJ is that project that is working to be QB that teams look for and there is nothing to say that he isn't progressing other than reports from people that don't matter.

    Manuel has a lot to do with the backup QB competition because the backup QB will be his replacement if he doesn't get better.

    Marrone is smart enough to not start a QB controversy by saying the starting QB job is, "up for grabs."

    Marrone said there will be an open competition for backup QB with a hint, hint, winky wink.

    If I were EJ Manuel, my ears would hear, "There will be an open competition."
    Little boy you are a ****ing IDIOT. Wow dude unreal. OR are you really Jeff Tuel????
