QB is already known at OBD!!

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

Obviously the Bills haven't come out and announced the starter but they already know who it is.

After reporters tried to dump praise on EJ after the conclusion of OTA's Rex almost scoffed and said the film tells the tail of what they are trying to accomplish.

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.

No

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

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.

The only impact I can remember Brown making since joining the Bills is to help them lose a game.

Boobie is not beast mode, but he is the closest thing to a beast on the Bills.

I want Boobie over Brown without question.

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

just no way its true that they have it figured out.
Cassel didn't look good and only makes sense if you think this is the year for the superbowl and that they can manage a game well enough week to week.

the bills still haven't been to the playoffs. So its an absurd gamble. yes, cassel may get you to the playoffs, but they aren't going any further. and once they are out, do you wnat to go into next year with cassel again? That should scare the crap out of everyone.

Manuel/tyrod is going to have to get it. if neither of them don't, the great defense era of the bills will close with yet another losing team.

I'm not disagreeing with anything your saying here. Chris Brown was on Sirrius this AM and basically said they need mediocre play at QB. The annoucers literally said "c-" play to make the playoffs with this roster.

That's the way this team is thinking.

The QB has to manage the offense and not make critical mistakes. This is exactly why Cassel wins the job. The annoucers were saying that Tyrod has a better chance of starting than EJ.

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think we're still a ways away from this

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

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

Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

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