Rookie QB contracts are the so valuable it doesn't make much sense to carry a veteran backup (unless your starter is on a rookie deal).
The only way we move/cut EJ is if we replace him with another rookie. And I don't see that happening next draft.
And that lesson is when a franchise QB falls into your laps you draft him, even if your starter has a few good years left. Indianapolis did the same thing when Andrew Luck was available but decided to start him immediately and jettison Manning for the good of the team 5+ years down the road. I don't see how either way helped or hurt them, even though one had to sit & one played right away. A franchise QB is a franchise QB no matter what you do with them, same thing the other way, a bust is a bust. Tom Brady & JP Losman both sat behind Drew Bledsoe their rookie years with vastly different career results because they are who they are.
Manuel is every bit as tradable as Aaron Maybin was.
This lowly cart.... it hits harder and has a higher yards
per play average than the Bills' offense!

Trade him to Calgary for a goalie.
I'd trade him for a case of Natty Light.
I'll even take expired ones and call it a steal.
The situation is even worse now. My concern is Whaley traded away Cassel because he's a stubborn ass who refuses to look at reality.

Maybe we can package him with Mammy Watkins and move up a few spots in the 5th round.
Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.
