Sure I can, Hackett's vanilla offense allows EJ's tentativeness to be acceptable. Whaley will most likely keep his job, he will just tell the new owner that Marrone was too inexperienced and they will most likely go after Harbaugh hard

I'm telling you, breh. He did the same shyt in college. If Mike Martz was the OC, Spiller and Jackson would both have 100 receptions.

I do hope the new owner is willing to spend on a coach though. With all the parity in the NFL, coaches can really separate teams.

If somehow,someway Winston is there:banderas: Yes Mr. Football will just have to be thrown in the bushes:birdman:

That wouldn't surprise me. The Bills stay in that 6-10/7-9 range. Bad enough to miss the offs but just good enough to not get that top pick. Now that we traded that pick we probably will get it. :snoop:

But the Browns have bad draft history too so somehow that won't happen. Either way, whoever gets drafted that pick is pre-destined to be a bust. :sadcam:

I know, my point is the offense as a whole looks bad, EJ is not the only problem. Spiller was a big threat in Chan's offense, Hackett's offense he is easily contained because he is running up the middle a lot. Also, you can easily tell when the Bills are running or passing, it's just :snoop: all around

Aight, breh. But just know that Hackett has a resume. EJ has nothing. Hacket will get another job. EJ won't. :yeshrug:

you can tell right away if someone has it or not
he doesn.t

i watched geno smith last year and he made throws that i knew he'd have a good career.

Yep, I remember I was in my dorm complex's computer room doing a final exam paper for my internship when the draft was on last year, I saw the Bills move down. I was like :obama: we either getting Geno or a LB. I'm continuing my paper and turn back to ESPN.com to keep the Bills picked Manuel and I was like :mindblown: :what:, EJ wasn't even considered a 2nd round pick. I thought maybe Marrone/Hackett had a plan along with Whaley, Cobb was their stopgap guy, terrible mistake and things went downhill from there.

EJ is a work in progress at the position. EJ Manuel was rated lower than Geno Smith in total rating. He was given a 68.7 grade, which translates on the very high end of "Draftable Player" beneath the "Eventual Starter" range of 70-84 and well below the "Immediate Starter" range of 85-95. Geno Smith was rated at 88 as a "Immediate Starter" so it's clear some scouts think Geno had more immediate ability than Manuel. Even Nassib was rated at 78, which is at "Eventual Starter', one below above EJ Manuel. EJ needs two years.

f all those ratings and grades i loook at the eye test and ej manuel never impressed me in college and never in the nfl.

It's best to combine evaluation practices or choose the best ones. Your eye test actually coincides with scout's take on EJ Manuel. He was only ranked on the high draftable range in the 4th to 7th round. Since delving into his scouting report, I'm inclined to say he needs the 2 years Whaley gave him. On the other hand, most QBs drafted in EJ's range never become viable starters, and few still become Pro Bowlers.. I guess Whaley thinks EJ has enough potential to become a good QB in time. Only time will tell.

Barkley's arm is too weak; Tyler Wilson has been cut; Landry Jones sucks. EJ Manuel had the most potential on paper than any of the players you listed except Glennon and Geno.
