      No. Did we really need another EJ thread?

        The better question, I think, is - "Did we really need EJ Manuel?"

        This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
        per play average than the Bills' offense!

          I just looked it up, Worst QBR rating (32nd) in the league (Henne doesn't count) QB #31 has about a 40% higher rating. That's not a gap, that's an ocean away. Worst starting QB in the league by far using this metric.

            Why do you ask questions like this?

            Which team(s) do you think he'd be a better option for?

            Let's start there? We can rule out 25 right off the bat.

            You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

            Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

            The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

            "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."

            "We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."

            "We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.

            Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)

            "And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

              I'll go as far as 28 teams off the bat, the last few would be trading dollars for dollars. When the guys on TV are making their predictions, they mention that EJ & that's why they can't take Buffalo.

                I don't think he'd even play for Tampa Bay.

                    31st just ahead of EJ, he's about 40% in the QBR ratings than EJ. So basically,

                    Here's every NFL QB.....
































                    Here's EJ.

                      Funny, because he stinks too, but at least he goes down field with the ball. This dink and dunk crap has me longing for the good old days with Lossman!

                      I wanted Nassib.

                      Sigh.

                        Id say hes on par with Bridgewater, Geno, Bortles, and Glennon - that is to say, the worst QB's in the league, and I'd take Bortles and Bridgewater over EJ at this point for sure. Im losing faith quickly. Teams are realizing all he can do is complete short crossing patterns and are taking that away.

                          He also had several problems handing the ball off, one was a broken play that EJ just kept himself. One overthrow was so bad, it still hasn't landed yet.

                            Bridgewater has had one start, and he won a shootout with Matt Ryan without Peterson behind him. How is he on this list already?
