Players and Staffers told Marrone EJ wasn't good enough

[Ginger Vitis]

Matthew Kollar(WGR550) mentioned this morning on WGR that Jason Cole made this claim and sure enough here is the Jason Cole tweet.. If someone has posted this information in another thread I apologize if not I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. Kollar claims Jason Cole use to work for Yahoo. I don't have a clue how often this happens players telling there HC at the end of a season the Starting QB blows but staffers? The janitor? The secretary? Nate Hackett? Jim Monos?

And Kollar also said it was likely players complained in the same manor about Eli Manning before he won TWO Super Bowls.

Tiki Barber called Mannings pregame speeches or in the huddle speeches "comical" and Michael Strahan has implied Manning was lacking in leadership ability before the SuperBowls were won..I doubt EJ will be here long enough to prove people wrong like Manning did

Warren Sapp thinks Michael Strahan is a douchebag.

Did Doug tell the media this? Did someone overhear all these conversations? Was it not common enough sense? Who is this jag pretending he has inside information? Why is a Dolphins writer/fan who's only work seems to be speculation news? IS IT SUNDAY YET?!

[BillsOverDolphins]

I'm sure common sense told Marrone EJ wasn't good enough. I mean, that's how I found out...

[YardRat]

lol...next Sunday can't get here quick enough

[Mr. Pink]

Think it's bad now, wait til next week when EJ looks just like he did in preseason.

If this is true it's all on Marrone.

[Night Train]

He has Nix/Whaley to blame for that.

Marrone was saddled with the guy and I'm betting the Orton signing was demanded by him... and may explain that recent blow up at practice after another suspect Manuel showing, with no good backup options at that moment.

The hook on Manuel may be quick, I'm guessing.

The most FRUSTRATING aspect of this is that the hook can't be quick. EJ is the only one who knows the playbook well, he's the only one with "chemistry" with the receivers, putting Orton in does NOTHING week 1 or 2 to help this team win. Having 0 quarterbacks on the roster who had an entire summer/offseason to get the playbook to back up EJ is entirely the FO's fault. The first few games and season hinge on EJ, and... oh man, it'll be interesting to watch.

I see the Bills running the ball heavily early on, if they do doubt Manuel. I have no problem with that but Hackett seems a bit too pass happy...yet you have to have a QB who can make the throws he desires.

If Manuel is limited in the plays he can actual succeed in, then Orton won't need much time to catch up and he won't hesitate to stick the ball in tight windows.

Not endorsing a quick hook but Marrone has his job on the line and won't hang his career on Manuel.

EJ had some impressive moments last season.

He was effective in a close loss in the opener vs NE.

He was calm, poised, and clutch in the win against Carolina in Week 2.

He was effective in the loss to ATL (and then Chandler fumbled the game away).

He was very good against JAX, as well he should've been.

The PIT and TB games were his lowest moments, and man, they were ugly.

The rest of his starts were so-so.

But whatever, EJ will get a fair shake to open the season. Hopefully he does well. If not, hopefully Orton has a grasp on the playbook and can salvage what's left of the season if EJ gets benched.

I have no idea what you are watching to see this so called chemistry. Another guy could come in one day have more chemistry ...

Didn't notice the word chemistry in quotation marks did you?

[DynaPaul]

I still think we'll have to wait for a phantom injury.

Can somebody explain to me all the EJ Hatred? I'm not talking about the people who doubt his ability to be our guy, I'm talking about the ones who are literally incapable of saying a nice, or even neutral, word about him. What is it about EJ Manuel that makes you people hate him as a human being? Do you even recognize that that's what is happening? Can we tone it down, maybe? He seems like a genuinely decent person and the type of guy who should be easy to root for.

You're confusing frustration with hatred.

My wife and I met Bledsoe after a game in Baltimore and JP Losman before a game in Buffalo. Both were extremely nice and seemed like the kind of guy I'd want on my team. But they still didn't get the job done on the field.

For a couple of posters here it sure comes across as hatred. Not you btw

[BillsOverDolphins]

I hate the fact he's on my team
