QB is already known at OBD!!

[swiper]

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.

You're trying to reason with a little whiny girl who is nothing but a lowly homer. The Bills TRADED for Cassel. Clearly they have hopes he wins the battle out-right.

LMAO at the TROLL.

The Bills drafted EJ in the FIRST RND. but they would rather an OLD MEDIOCRE QB they traded LOW RND picks for wins the job? IDIOT TROLL.

They also did not extend his deal, which tells me that they aren't sure yet and are leaving themselves and easy out if he does not win the battle.

[sudzy]

The Bills drafted EJ in the FIRST RND.

That was another owner.... another GM (as fans that want to deflect blame from Whaley will claim).... another coach. The days of anyone owing EJ anything because he was a 1st round pick are gone.

NOBODY is saying the Bills OWE EJ anything.

But Rex has said it will be an OPEN Competition for the starting Job, and I will take him at his word.

And we all have heard how much Rex thinks of Tyrod as well.

I believe it really is an open competition for the starting job, but I think Cassel is the LAST QB in that competition that the Bills WANT to win that job.

They traded for Cassel after watching Manuel fail for 2 years Mr. name-caller. God forgot to offer you a brain.

I didn't deny that. I said "hope". The Bills have quite clearly said there is a competition. But it is also quite clear that they don't have faith in Manuel by making a trade to get a midling veteran QB.

[Fixxxer]

I know everyone wants the athletic 1st round pick with some upside to win the job.....

I love Bryce Brown and can't understand why he's behind Dixon. But he's getting cut for fumbitis and EJ is getting benched because he can't run the offense. Plain and simple.

Cassel will be the starter.

If the offense is similar to the 49ers offense when Alex Smith was the QB, I think all three QB we have are viable for it. I think Cassel is underrated as an athlete, you won't be running the read option with him but he can move in the pocket on some designed plays.

It doesn't matter what my favorite QB is or who I want as the starting QB, I will enter this TC with an open mind knowing that once and for all we have a veteran offensive coordinator that will, be creative with the running game and not be the repetitive and predictable mess the last offense and playcaller was. This will be a great aid for any of the QBs that will start at first, though, whoever that guy will be will have to step up and own the offense by the end of the year.

[HHURRICANE]

I'll say this again. This is not an open competition. The coaches have picked their guy. It's smart to keep it competitive because you need the QBs executing the offense even on second team reps.

Cassel is the starter.

They didn't bring him in here to help EJ.

[Dr. Lecter]

Why would they limit Cassell's reps with the starters when he is new to the team, with a new offensive coordinator and all new teammates?

That would be counter productive and makes no sense.

Calling me a name caller TROLL?

YOU are the person that started calling other people names!

EAT IT IDIOT TROLL!

[Dr. Lecter]

Stop it.

Both of you. Just stop it.

Nobody wants to read this ****.

I agree. Camp is just starting and I don't think that will be the case for very long.

[Mr. Miyagi]

The Bills TRADED for Cassel. Clearly they have hopes he wins the battle out-right.

The Bills TRADED for Bryce Brown. He doesn't seem to be high on the totem pole.

Let's say you're right. Do you honestly think whoever is the starter has that long of a leash? We're not naming a Pharaoh here. This team has some pressure on it to win. Let's say they do go with Cassel. If the team is under .500 at the bye would it surprise you if the team changed horses? I sure wouldn't be.

The Bills TRADED for Bryce Brown. He doesn't seem to be high on the totem pole.

And the Bills traded a much higher pick for Brown than for Cassel.

Kyle Orton was brought up on WGR yesterday & a good point was made.

Orton was not in TC, but Orton had the first 4 weeks to study the playbook while EJ played.

It makes me wonder if Marrone did not plan to start Orton as soon as he was ready regardless of how EJ was playing.

It would not have looked good to pull EJ while he was winning, but it was reported that Marrone changed the offense after week two.

We're talking about QBs here little boy. He's a RB and the situation is different completely. You're trying to compare apples with oranges. So try again. Just come back with something logical next time.

So you continue to call other people names TROLL?

LMAO at you.

A draft pick is a draft pick & a 4th rnd pick is HIGHER than a 6th or 7th rnd pick IDIOT TROLL.
