    That pick made no sense no matter how you look at it. It was Whaley trying to cover his ass on his Manuel pick, he wasn't thinking about the team, he was thinking with his football dick.

    he should. Simply put he should ask for a lot more then he's worth if he wants out and into a better opportunity. He has no obligation to pissing away the best years of his career on a team that won't use him correctly.

    By the way, we haven't even seen that even when healthy Watkins is going to be as good as advertised or even close. He's done nothing.

    I'm curious how he'd do elsewhere.

    We'll resign him simply because this is going to be Jackson's last relevant season and the team won't have a choice, so once again they'll have to likely overpay because they've put their backs against a wall.

    EJ needs to be done for the night. Jordan or Jeff need all the reps they can get.

    i've watched him get open a lot. ej rarely sees it... and even when he's open won't throw it unless he's "college football open" (meaning he has a couple yards of separation)

    I hated the trade up then and I hate it even more now.

    As a diehard FSU fan I see the offense progress under Ponder, regress under EJ and take off under Winston. EJ has always been an average QB

    He got screwed for years. I'm not a big fan of paying players for back years, but if anyone's ever deserved it it's him.

    EJ's always been a very physically gifted QB that has played teams with far lesser talent than the one he's been on.

    That changed when he got to the NFL and the truth has now born itself out.

    3-8 against scrubs.

    The Lions scrubs must be better than the Bucs scrubs.

    So would it be accurate to say that they picked Watkins to ensure Manuel had all of the tools and weapons he would need to be successful? That way, if and when Manuel fails, he has zero excuses and only himself to blame?

    Re: ... Bills vs. Lions GDT

    The whole reason that trade happened was because Whaley knew he had to win this year or he would be gone. If Watkins comes in, blows up and the Bills go to the playoffs he looks like a genius and the new owners won't can him. If it doesn't work out, he goes. If he doesn't make the trade and the Bills suck, then he leaves some chips on the table.

    I'm hoping that Whaley doesn't trade away more picks while he's grasping at straws to keep his job this year.

    Well that is it for EJ.

    3 unsuccessful series against the Lions 2nd stringers at home.

    2 sacks.

    Overthrows.

    The same crap!

    How can we hope that the light magically goes on for EJ?

    There is absolutely no evidence of it.
