    Backup QB for 2016...

    Since I've apparently turned into the biggest EJ fan on this board, this topic and article being presented by me is absolutely poetic!

    I'm sure this article will infuriate some people on this board, but EJ won't be going anywhere next year nor will he get replaced.

    Makes sense!

    Of course Whaley backs him up. What else is new. Those 2 are BFF's.


    I don't care if we get paid to keep him on the roster. Dude needs to go. He's absolutely useless. There's literally nothing (football wise) to gain by bringing him back

    I'd rather let Chris Hogan start over EJ at this point.

    I'm pretty sure he'll be on the roster, they have to pay him anyway and I can't imagine who would trade for him, not real sure he won't be number 3 though.

    I'd be fine with it if he suddenly tuned in for whatever reason, but I don't have much hope left he will. His assortment of qb "coaches" and makeshift offenses about ruined whatever potential he might have had, imho. I don't know what they have going on in terms of their passing game with Roman and Wildcat Lee, but if Taylor still struggles with his reads, I'm less than optimistic Manuel will suddenly pick them up and become confident enough to accomplish anything much.

    By now I'm pretty sure he is what he is and isn't going to get any better.

    he's the number 2 now... what else would you say.. who knows who we will draft, sign, or trade for for the number 2... article means nothing to me the week after the regular season. Its the appropriate diplomatic phrasing

    Mathison is without a doubt the worst QB I've ever seen in a Bills uniform.

    EJ has a low salary and it's all gonna be on the books whether he is here or not. He'll be here. That doesn't mean they won't bring in a project for the future though.

    I suspend disbelief when they approach the podium based on past performance.

    I'd rather see Manziel come in while holding a rock glass of rum ( ala Julien of Trailer Park Boys )

    Hell, I'd rather see Julian, Ricky or Bubbles, come to think of it...

    If Julien can get out of a wreck with rum intact, he's the man.

    I like EJ. He runs gimmick plays and had the time of his career doing so

    Not a fan, but EJ Manuel might be one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league.

    That doesn't say much for backup quarterbacks in the NFL. They're all bad.

    A rookie quarterback would take how long to learn Roman's system? Too long.

    If the Bills want to keep Tyrod Taylor healthy in 2016, they need a young stud offensive lineman to protect his ass and keep the backup qb off the field for the entire 2016 season.
