All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
It looks like your trying to make it sound like QB is a strength for the Bills. That argument loses credibility once you mention EJ. Orton is a nice back up and maybe a reliable start (I hope).
Name me 12 NFL teams that have two QBs that you like better than EJ and Orton? As to me to be better than average you should be in the top 12 of something (since 12 teams make the NFL playoffs).
Really any team with a QB better than either of them, which is just about every team, has a better situation.

I didn't say either of them I said both of them. As sure EJ as a starter now is not in the top 20 NFL QB but I think he has the potential to do so. Then in terms or Orton show me 12 teams that have a better backup QB in play.
I don't blame you. I'd be *****ly and defensive too if I spent the last year and a half of my life militantly positioning myself as the world's biggest EJ fan/apologist only to see it blow up in my face.
My condolences for your lack of credibility on anything Bills related.
But keep shooting for the stars, one day you'll get something right!
I pull the douche card a lot lately, because a lot of douches are on this board lately.
Show me where I have positioned myself as the Worlds biggest EJ fan/ appologist.
Before the draft, I said I wanted the Bills to draft Mike Glennon & posted recently in a different thread that I still wish the Bills had drafted Glennon.
All I have ever said about EJ is that he should be given this year to prove himself.
And if I have a choice between watching EJ this year that may not be a Starting quality NFL QB, or Orton who has already proven he is not an NFL Starting QB, I hope to God EJ stays healthy.

I guess we see it differently. Orton is worse than 90% of the starters out there. EJ is worse than most of the backups. It is not a strong duo, because neither one is a long-term answer. I terms of EJ's "potential", I see it about the same as Losman's.
Aside from being inconsistent with his accuracy, what are these many limitations you see in Manuel?
Things you can't teach: physical tools- EJ has those.
EJ also has leadership ability & a strong work ethic, which is the reason I think he will be successful given time.
We hear a lot about his physical tools but there are lots of non-quarterbacks who are better athletes than him and don't get banged up- one just got cut in Seattle.
EJ is big. That's it.
As for the wonderful intangibles we also hear so much about I doubt very much that his teammates have confidence in him. It's the NFL, you have to lead by example, and he can't. Make it rain or get lost.
Also everybody is different but I don't see the passion and the NASTY you know, what you saw when a batter tries to crowd the plate with Bob Gibson on the mound.
He's a nice, big young man who cannot play quarterback in this league.
But he has 10 million reasons to feel good about himself and I don't begrudge him at all.
Its the dufus who picked him (whoever that is) who should be blamed.
Bills don't know quarterbacks.
They just don't.
EJ/Orton 2014 is giving me flashbacks to JP/Kelly Holcomb 2005, except Losman had more fan support than EJ, because Losman was cute and white so more fans wanted to **** him...

Well duh.
We rate our QBs by how big of superhunks they are.
