The QB lust is real

It's funny when you look back at that 2011 draft. If you took a player in the top 16 you were a sure lock to get a pro bowler. Only 4 players in the top 16 of that draft have not made the pro bowl. Three of those 4 players were QBs [Locker, Gabbert, and Ponder] and they were all reaches of the highest order.

Thats an incredible stat

The Ponder reach is the one that shocked me. He had a 2nd round grade from everyone up until draft day. Then Minnesota reached for him and I went :mindblown:

Why make this move now :what:?

You're 2-2 with a young QB. Let him ride out the season and learn. If Kyle doesn't do well you throw EJ back in and you look like a fool. Let him play a whole season and reevaluate at draft time. Orton isn't the long term answer and it's not like you're Super Bowl bound.

Breh, you did not watch the Bills-Texans like I had to as a Bills fan, Manuel was missing wide open targets whether it was an overthrow, throwing it too low close to the grass, or throwing it late to the point Texans defenders could either break it up or pick it off. The JJ Watt pick 6 was all Manuel's fault, he got scared of the incoming blitz presnap and wanted to get to a dumpoff to Fred Jackson with Watt read and picked to the house. Instead of looking off any of his other receivers, since Watkins was wide open for a easy completion for a 1st down. Manuel was the biggest reason the Bills lost yesterday and there's no debate about it.

This an upper management move all the way. You knew Manuel was done when they signed Orton. Geno lucky Vick is backing him up or else he would have been benched last two games ago.

Jaws is on ESPN saying this is a good thing for EJ. :why:

It is always a good thing to bench a black QB in their eye. Remember Jaws was the one saying McNabb being benches was good when he played the Ravens. Thank god Ray and Ed Reed called out how the eagles were running the same plays over and over again and using McNabb as the down fall.
