EJ Manuel dropped

[Ballhawk]

If strength and size were more important than what is between your ears many QBs in the HOF wouldn't be there.

Seems a lil soon, unless Orton is tearing it up in practice....Or is EJ a turnover machine like Geno? 2013 was definitely a weak QB class....

 

[DaveFan'51]

I actually thought E.J. Manuel was being underrated by many of the 'draftniks' but was still surprised to see the Bills take him as high as they did.

I don't imagine this move is going to be permanent.

I thought his pick was based on his performance in the Senior Bowl more than anything else!

 

[Athos]

Moronic pick coming to bite them in the ass.

 

[mr.stlouis]

Definitely a lot of worse options than Orton though. He's played pretty well at times.

Yeah, I wanted Orton over Hill from start.

 

[Blue and Gold]

Gino Smith next?

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Good news for Sammy Watkins fantasy owners.

I thought he was talking about his fantasy team, and hence was going to ask why he drafted/ picked him up in the first place

 

[RamFan503]

Dropped is not the word you are looking for here, mate.

benched, demoted, sidelined, bumped.

Dropped implies cut.

Gotta admit - that's what I thought. I thought the OP meant he was cut.

Agreed. Crazy to think about but with the Bills lacking a first round pick, if we cut Sam, he might end up with Sammy Watkins after all. :eek:

Bills front office is ......bad/stupid/ incompetent. No way they should have taken Manuel over Geno. Geno on that team would have been a likely playoff team last year maybe and a lock this year. Manuel never had the bottom line trait...... accuracy.

Not so sure Geno would have been the answer either. He has been a turnover machine which is difficult to overcome as a team. I fully expect Geno to be right behind Manuel to the bench if he can't find his groove because Vick is a decent second option.

Probably nobody more disappointed in this decision than Orton. He likes to bilk stupid teams out of millions while sitting on his ass

Not really stupid teams. One of the best backups in the league. Who can blame him for wanting to make millions to be a backup QB? Best job in sports...until the starter gets hurt or benched.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Orton and the "best" dont belong in the same sentence.

 

[Boston Ram]

Manuel was never that good at FSU and was surprised to see him go in the first round. I think it hurt his potential development. To me he was a guy if you got him in the 3rd or 4th round you could let him learn for a few years and you might end up with a serviceable QB at some point. There is still time for him to learn and him sitting may end up being a blessing in disguise for him

I've never heard dropped be used for cut before.

Dropped=Dropped from the team.
