    If EJ Manuel Is Sailing Balls All Over The Place In Training Camp (Again) What To Do?

    Training camp at St. John Fisher College will be here in no time at all.

    Let's just fast forward and think 75 degrees and sunny for a moment in this hypothetical situation.

    Training camp begins and all eyes are on EJ Manuel.

    The weather is perfect, sun shining down on a new season of Bills football and then it happens.

    Manuel drops back, throws, and misses his target by a mile.

    2 Weeks Later

    Manuel drops back, throws, and gets picked off by a rookie due to a horrible pass.

    Sammy Watkins shakes his head in disbelief.

    1 Day Later

    Manuel drops back and throws the ball so high you'd think he was trying to make a completion to Jesus.

    Robert Woods drops an F-Bomb so loud his vocal chords get injured in the process.

    Eric Wood, Seantrel Henderson, and Cordy Glenn start tripping and have nightmarish flashbacks to 2014.

    What to do about 'dat possible hypothetical hope to God it's not likely scenario but probably is?

    In other words, if EJ Manuel shows absolutely no signs of improvement 2 weeks in to the 2015 Buffalo Bills training camp at St. John Fisher, what would you do?

    I'd cut him.

    Special thanks to, justasportsfan.

    If there's not a real QB on this roster by training camp, then none of this matters, because it will be a clear sign that the Bills are run by total ****ing idiots.

    This just in, BTW, the end of July is not "no time at all." It's an assload of time. It's half a year away.

    The same people here that loved Marrone & Hackett for EJ Manuel here 2 years ago now call them terrible and think Greg Roman is going to perform magic. The same guy that was roundly criticized in SF when Kaepernick turned for the worst.

    At least Marrone has sped up the cycle of crap in Buffalo from every 3 years to every 2 years.

    If his TC and preseason games make him look like the same EJ from the past two seasons then there is no reason for him to hold a regular season roster spot.

    I'd say he'd have to show major improvement from the past two seasons to have any chance at the starting job.

    EJ's poor performance in 2014 was not a surprise.

    2 weeks in to training camp, the word started to spread.

    EJ Manuel was struggling. He didn't get better, he was worse than 2013.

    If Rex Ryan sees the same crap on tape 3 weeks in to the 2015 Buffalo Bills training camp, Manuel is going to get cut quicker than a steak at 5pm on Super Bowl Sunday.

    Well, I blame poor Coaching on EJ's poor season.

    Let's wait & see how he does this year.

    And you're wrong.

    That's not to say that he had good coaching.

    That is to say that his problems are not fixable by coaching.

    EJ Manuel didn't have coaching any worse last year than what he will be given with Roman, Lee and Palmer. The EJ circle-jerk team of betterdays, djkelly, and Dr. Whowhatwhere can also be known as team dopey. Their combined football IQ wouldn't raise above an IQ of 70.

    Well, I will wait until I hear Rex & Roman say that.

    If you were as great a judge of talent as you think you are, you would be working for an NFL team.

    The Bills will probably have 4 to 5 QBs competing next training camp.

    If EJ is not one of the top 3 then he gets cut. If he is one of the top 3 then he stays.

    Hahahaha!!!!

    It doesn't take a genius to spot SUCK.

    Especially when you've seen it over and over and over for 15 years.

    It takes a fool keep believing in fairy tales.

    Orton made EJ his *****. And Orton was basically worthless.

    If you get your lunch money and your job taken by the likes of Kyle Orton, you are NEVER going to make it in the NFL.

    Well, He was a dubious pick in the 1st round, even after the trade-down. But you perhaps recall my numerous rants about subjecting the neophyte to a quick-paced offensive scheme, about how what a terrible way that was to introduce a rookie QB into NFL play?

    He'll have 2 other QB's competing with him, come camp. It will sort out itself.
