Can the Bills bench EJ before week 1?

[YardRat]

This is going to be a 4-12 to 10-6 team regardless of who is behind center. It's all on the defense and oline, and how much the QB (whoever that may be) can avoid killer mistakes.

If we cut EJ, not one other team would retain his services to start. Yet, he's great for our starting QB.

That's how we roll as a team. You know that by now.

Victim of TebowMania.

Except for the fact that Denver has been a playoff contender ever since the second they benched Orton. So you can't blame Tebowmania.

If the Bills cut EJ, it will be with good reason.

In that event, of course no other team would sign him to start.

If the team disbanded, EJ still wouldn't start anywhere else.

if ej doesnt start week 1, whaley or marrone was fired. they would look like complete *******s

[tatersalad]

he might start in st louis

With Orton this is an 8-10 win football team with a shot of getting the 6 seed.

With EJ this is a 5 win football team that's giving Cleveland a top 10 pick.

If he plays lights out... Maybe

It would be worth watching bills in that case. Orton is defiantly serviceable bit just as I predicted this year EJ will lead us to a top 5 pick and next year Orton will lead us to that 6-8 wins....

In other words, the FO screwed the pooch by trading their first next year and why should they care if they are not around?

There is no avoiding that regardless of what they do!

If EJ were made available this year, he probably would not start this year, but I guarantee some team would pick him up & it is possible he would start in the future.

Ok, that's something I can agree with. He's good enough for our Bills though, which is what matters if we don't want to win now. Do you think these coaches keep their jobs if the team is losing & we get a new owner ??

I think EJ is on a short leash. If EJ totally craps the bed & the Bills lose because of his play, I could see him take a seat like Mike Glennon this year.

IMO Marrone is on the HOT seat.
