Hopefully this will be the death knell for his career.
As a Bills fan, my hope is that he plays lights out.

He's earned another chance. But I still think he would have to play really really well in this game to take the job from either Tyrod or Cassel.
But this is it, this is his shot. If he messes up he wont be the starter. End discussion there
Does Rex Ryan have to announce ahead of before game day who will be the starter? Ryan could make havoc on the Colts trying to figure out who to prepare for especially since they are different style QBs.
Maybe trying to highlight EJ for a trade or...........
They are trying to trade Cassel.
As a Bills fan I want them to play the best QB and he's not it. But it's ok. I can see what's going on any way. They gave the real starter the most reps in practice this week so he's ready to go.Originally Posted by Yasgur's Farm
I hope the camera men know to wear helmets at this game on Saturday.
interesting. Why would Rex do this? Hasn't he read this board?

ej needs to play consistent with passes on the mark. who cares if he's 3 of 12 or 11-12. if his passes are where they are supposed to be, i'm happy with him.
and i'd see where the number 2 qb plays. is he consistent with guys he doesn't play with? if that's the case for tyrod, then he's done better than i expected through camp and in preseason.
This is Rex telling EJ ..... "this is it man, here's your shot with the ones vs ones. No more 3rd stringers. Put up or shut up time"
This is big for Manuel. I don't think he has a shot at starting even if he does well. But at least he would earn his roster spot which I've always thought was in danger. May the odds be ever in your favor EJ.

WOW is all i can say.
remember rex saying something about russell wilson going from 3 to 1 earlier this camp.
well everyone thought he was talking about tyrod .
i guess not.
regardless let the best man win.
even this start means nothing right now.
It's good to see Rex giving EJ's a fair shake. I hope he's improved from the Marrone/Hackett fiasco and can be a viable starter or a good backup for us. If not, either cut him or maybe try converting him to a TE/emergency QB type of player.

This is weird. Real weird.
very interesting. and for those of you who think he has a chance to be the starter (even if he plays great in the 1 quarter he will get in this game) you are truly delusional. I like EJ and think he is worth keeping around. But he's not a viable starting option for this team. That is to say, the people that run the organization are not seriously considering him for the job. If you need to keep telling yourself that they are (despite the rep distribution these last two months) then IDK what to say. I hope he plays great and either earns a spot as the 3rd QB on the team or lands us a trade of some value.
All Hail Josh Allen! Savior of the Buffalo Bills!
Freedom for the Ukraine. Down with Putin and every traitor in this country that supports him.

I think this is a showcase to see if he can be a viable backup. If that is the case, I think it's bye Cassel and his 5m goes to Dareus
ublinkwescore (08-27-2015)
No. If you follow the way camp has gone, he's not a viable contender for the 1st string gig. Even if he plays lights out (which I hope he does). I am so certain that EJ will not be the week 1 starter (baring injury to Taylor and Cassel mind you) that I will delete my account if EJ takes the first snap against Indy and never return to the Billszone. And I like it here. I'm that confident that there is a zero percent chance of EJ being named the starter.

I think they're trying to limit the scouting on the actual starter but I wish EJ the best.
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.

What a waste of what is suppose to be the tune up game.
It can only be good news if EJ plays well. They don't have to start EJ for the Home Opener even if he plays well this Saturday.
dont delete your account lol
and listen 0 % is semi laughable.
i refuse to believe the coaches organization arent sincere in this decision. and if the opposite is the case like your suggesting then our franchised is more doomed then ever.(doubt that is the case)
this being said i dont care who starts week 1 .......... JUST WIN
