I could make a list of QBs whom you've never heard of who are now in other areas of employment, but it would take me a few weeks and would put a strain on this site's bandwidth.

None of this means jack ****. And the best QBs on here were playing for teams that finished dead last or near last, which is how they acquired those QBs.

EJ Manuel is not any of these guys except for the seventh example. Period.

None of this has any bearing on how EJ turns out.

Kudos for a 90s jam to seal the deal.

[Mr. Pink]

Go look at Trent Edwards stats his first full year and Losman's first full year.

Then let me know how much any of this garbage means.

Phew. Thanks bro, I can rest easy now.

Oop, I accidentally deducted rep intending to give it to BillsImpossible as I spread rep to get Pink Green in '19. Sorry BI, I'll give you rep next time I can. My buzz is harshed with dismay, atm.

Something you didn't know you wanted until this very moment:



Yes that's C&C Music Factory today (well in 2012). Still less embarrassing than Bon Jovi.

Another stupid thread during preseason....ugh..

[Fletch]

Another stupid thread during preseason....ugh..

Agree.

Talk about desperation in finding arguments to support one's point.

[Night Train]

I'm not worried at all. I can only watch.

The coaching staff on the other hand...

[Thurmal]

I still cannot believe this team didn't bring in a veteran backup. Even for the Bills, that was surprisingly incompetent.

The point Bills Impossible was making is that even Good to GREAT QB's for the most part did not play well their rookie year.

It is too soon to tell if EJ will join the good to great QB's or guys you never heard of, now in other areas of employment.

-Many if those players don't belong on that list. Like Wilson, Brady, Big Ben. Their # are a world apart from EJ 's.

And...

No one lies as great as a good stat!

You have to look at the QUALITATIVE Differences. Forget stats, look instead at how he got those stats!

EJ has no numbers as of yet besides his rookie numbers which match up very well to everyone on that list.

[WagonCircler]

EJ has no numbers as of yet...

He also has no Touchdowns.

But apparently an infinite number of apologists willing to offer excuses.

Not me, EJ better put up some TD's when real football starts or I want him gone.

But if EJ needs to go because of lack of TD's, I think Hackett needs to go as well.

[justasportsfan]

But if EJ needs to go because of lack of TD's, I think Hackett needs to go as well.

Not if Tuel is scoring TD's. Right now it isn't clear if it's EJ or play calling or both. EJ pretty much admitted he was playing scared last year.

Agreed. But Tuel seems to throw the ball much better to the other team than his own in the end zone.
