He stinks.

it would be a lot easier to like him if he would stop missing those wide open TDs. There has been at least three in this game so far. We should have been up 20+ points at the half.

He threw a beautiful pass to Sammy. He threw a nice pass (help by an amazing catch) to Chandler.
NFL QBs make these passes ALL THE TIME.
But the horrific inaccurate, drive killing passes are not getting any better.
And his vaunted running skills are the most overrated thing since Chiavetta's Chicken.
I don't think anyone wanted that. That perfect pass was wasted because of a perfect play by Grimes. It's frustrating because he is capable but will then short hop a slant in the red zone. He needs work down there can you really argue with that?

Terrible analogy. Trent Manual and Losman were/are polar opposites.
Losman had a cannon, but could only throw downfield. He had the touch pass finesse of an atomic bomb. And he held the ball wayyyyy too long.
Trent Manuel loves to throw those little shot-put passes from the elbow. Captains Checkdown are petrified of throwing vertical passes, so they only do so once a game. Maybe twice. Otherwise, they try to look "poised" and throw the dump off pass as a matter of compulsion.
And Trent never ran like EJ? Fine, bot EJ doesn't run like EJ anymore either. He has knees of glass and he gives up on plays way too early.
It may or may not be the coaches drilling it into him, but the net result has totally negated any positive the Bills had from EJs alleged running prowess.
The Chiavetta's Chicken reference made me crack up.. Nothing against EJ, but you cant point to one or two good passes a game when there are 3 or 4 that are so far off the mark. He could go all day long completing passes inside the 20s, but to come away with 9 points in the first half could have been costly if Miami found their rhythm in the second half.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't repeat myself.
EJ still throws too soft of a pass. He needs to put a little more zip in it. He's not far away from being a really good QB, but needs to work on his passing skills. Reads will come with time.
