    Its gonna be Cassel folks. Make your peace with it.

    All the Bills need is a guy that can complete a few throws and not make many mistakes. That is NOT the definition of EJ Manuel who can't complete a pass to save his inaccurate life.

    Taylor is a 3rd stringer.

    Cassel is the only experienced one of the 3. He's gonna get the gig.

    Well Cassel does have a lot of experience at LOSING. Winning, not so much.

    All the EJ HATERS better be prepared to watch him start for the Bills.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    Didnt Roman save the career of Alex Smith?

    Sure he's done some good things with Kap, but what he did with Smith is probably the most impressive.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Taylor's never started and EJ isn't much of a winner either.

    Its a matter of experience of which Cassel has the most.

    Cassel is also the oldest by far, so if he does win the job, he will be a stopgap at best.

    Bills fans should hope EJ or Tyrod win the job over Cassel because if they are good enough to do so, the Bills could have a decent QB for much longer than if it is Cassel.

    Cassel not only did not separate himself from EJ & Tyrod, in OTA's, reports from most of the Media is that EJ outplayed both Cassel & Tyrod.

    Agreed. But right now a stop gap is all we can hope for.

    I already know EJ doens't have what it takes. Taylor is a 3rd stringer at best.

    Most of the stuff I read said that all 3 were pathetic beyond words. EJ included. Thus the equality remains and the most experienced guy will start. Cassel.

    Kyle Williams was on Sirius and basically excused Cassel's performance and said the defense was instructed to "throw everything at the offense" in support of the hosts contention that Cassel would be the starter.

    Roman and Ryan eluded in the spring that the starter would be known when camp started. Our season starts in 45 days. There is no competition. This comes down to who can run the offense and that's the vet.

    Ryan wants to win and with the exception of Fred Jackson's praise for EJ he's on an island.

    Matt Cassel is this starter.
    I think we're still a ways away from this

    If they already knew who the starter is, I don't think they would be playing around with rep splitting

    By this logic all our draft choices are doomed

    I'll pulling for EJ to be honest because if he finally gets it, the ceiling is very high.

    None of our draft choices are QB's and few of them are slated to start. Very different scenario. Taylor is not a rookie either if that's what you alluded too

    It's not for any of the three. How the hell you go into a season with a sack full of manure at the most important position on the field is beyond comprehension.

    Who would you have had them get to compete for the QB job?

    I think it was a given that Cassel was penciled in when we got him.

    To be fair he led the Pats to 11-5 in 2008.

    And the Chiefs to 10-6 in 2010.

    He's not completely without success.

    Let's not represent this inaccurately.

    I don't think that's true at all. Cassel was brought into camp so they had at least one veteran in case no one else showed anything. You know what you get with Cassel, and its not great. He's no different than Orton was last year, an emergency fix. I don't think that he's penciled in at all.

    Tyrod is a complete unknown, but he wasn't very good in college so im not optimistic. EJ admittedly hasn't been very good in his action,but hes who I want to win out. Everyone wants to throw EJ away, but he hasn't even had a chance to play 16 games yet. He has to be given a chance.

    I am not being inaccurate.

    I did not say Cassel had no success.

    He has had VERY LITTLE success & a LOT of losing.

    Your quote, not mine, homeboy. And that's pretty misleading.

    I know you prefer EJ and that's great. I'm on the same page as you in terms of hoping he can turn his career around.

    But trashing Cassel's body of work doesn't make EJ look any better, so I don't see why you feel the need to do it. You did the same thing to Kyle Orton last season and he actually HAS a career winning record. So you're all over the place here.

    The competition is still wide open. Be patient, young gun.

    You're wasting your breath trying to reason with a blind homer. It's really low-hanging fruit.
