    What Has EJ Manuel Been Doing This Off Season To Get Better?

    Has EJ Manuel been practicing all off season long with a QB guru like George Whitfield?

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...-with-qb-guru/

    No. Last time Manuel worked with Whitfield, EJ was a teenager.

    What's he been doing? If he's going to be the face of the franchise for the next decade, where is EJ and what has he been doing lately?

    Crickets. Not even a Tweet or two as far as I know about EJ working with any kind of quarterback specialist.

    Special thanks to YardRat.

    Cyrus Kouandjio on the other hand has been going all out this off season trying to get better at the LeCharles Bentley Offensive Line Performance Training Center.

    Latest word about EJ Manuel comes from CJ Spiller.

    http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/nfl/8331/ej-manuel

    Speaking on NFL Network, free agent C.J. Spiller says E.J. Manuel is too "buddy-buddy" with his teammates and needs to be more assertive.
    Spiller noted the stark contrast between Manuel's easygoing approach and the style of veteran Kyle Orton, "who demands what he wants out of us." Buffalo struggled with Manuel under center and nearly made the playoffs with Orton, so it's obvious which approach resonated more with teammates. For Manuel to succeed in this league, he'll need to start showing some leadership.

    I hope Manuel has been practicing handoffs and 5 yard passes.

    I'm not supposed to know anything.

    All I know is that it is very common for NFL players to Tweet out what they've been doing lately, and the media keeps a close eye on what every quarterback is doing in the off-season.

    One would think that EJ Manuel would be doing everything possible to convince fans and the coaching staff that he's doing everything he can do to get better.

    Silence is golden, but not when it comes to playing quarterback in the NFL.

    I'd be hanging out on my veranda drinking spiked lemonade and preparing to use my degree in Communications for the NSA in two more years after everyone gives up on me for hanging out on my veranda drinking with a tidy sum in the bank.

    In other words, EJ sucks because he didn't instagram his workout pics.

    I would rather EJ meet with Roman and our QB coach and do the drills they tell him to do. These QB guru's are way overrated in my opinion, and if they were as good as they claim some team would pay them big money to coach their team.

    CJ also said that EJ is the hardest worker he's seen, getting there first and leaving last.

    Re: What Has EJ Manuel Been Doing This Off Season To Get Better?

    IIRC, Tannehill worked with Marino during the off season last year. Obviously we've seen reports about KuJo getting extra help. In the past we've heard about players training together, QB's and receivers working together, etc. If EJ is so committed to his craft, it's not unreasonable to expect that the public would have gotten a whiff of a report, and it's something that he should be doing.

    Are we seriously criticizing a QB for not having a big enough social media presence?

    No, we're wondering why he isn't doing everything possible to maximize his potential. The only factor social media plays is, maybe he is and nobody is aware of it, but that's highly unlikely, don't you think?

    i don't know hwo likely or unlikely it is either way. I mena, I doubt anyone knew Kujo was attending that school until he was on John Murphy the other day.

    I don't know how often players talk about attending guru camps. I suppose some do, some don't.

    I'll say this, I haven't heard anyone complain about his work ethic.

    Why is that highly unlikely? The offseason habits of the vast majority of the NFL aren't news.
