TheRussianRocket. Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think they want to work EJ Manuel back into the #1 job Yea, I think that's the way to go. Remember, they still have Spiller & Jackson to carry the load too. Spiller has disappointed for a couple years now with injuries and inconsistency in his game but he has all the tools. I believe Rex will be able to get him going and if he does, that takes a lot of pressure off the QB. Sanchez is good but that's it. Nothing special and his potential has pretty much maxed out. We know he won't be a staple starting QB but is a good guy to temporarily hold the fort down. Would be better off mentoring EJ and developing him the most they can. Orton/Manuel is fine as is. Have a capable veteran ready to go and a young promising guy by your side. Sanchez is in the middle of those 2 and would be more of a distraction that anything imo.

Maybe give Hoyer a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NucksPatsFan Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 There's no guarantee Spiller comes back. Buffalo isn't going to offer him market value after his injury problems and an average season this past season. So it'll depend on whether he's a money chaser or not.

RUPERTKBD Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 There's no guarantee Spiller comes back. Buffalo isn't going to offer him market value after his injury problems and an average season this past season. So it'll depend on whether he's a money chaser or not. With the seasons that Spiller and Jackson had, I have to wonder if there isn't a ton of work to do with the offensive line. If they can't open holes for the running backs, (who have shown in the past that they can do the job) then I think no matter who the QB is, they're going to have a rough go of it. I have to wonder if they are still behind Manuel as the QB of the future, or have given up on him. I suppose someone like Sanchez could be brought in, to give EJ more time to assimilate himself in the offense, but I wonder if he might be able to take on the starter's role, if the Bills can shore up the O-line. Better balance with an improved running game, better protection in passing situations.....it might make the difference for Manuel. As a Bills fan, I'm kind of torn by the hiring of Rex. On one hand, he's a big name and has had success in the past at turning teams around. (sort of like a poor man's Tuna) But I could live without the bombastic personality and the side show. That being said, if the on-field production is there, I don't care if Rex decides to show off his newly tattooed posterior at a presser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, if the on-field production is there, I don't care if Rex decides to show off his newly tattooed posterior at a presser. The Bills have a big offensive line, but they're pretty much boulders up there; they don't have much speed or quickness. It's difficult for them to get to the 2nd level to block linebackers which effects their run game. I think one of the reasons Orton had more success than Manuel is Orton isn't mobile so the offensive line didn't have to move the pocket, whereas with Manuel he's more mobile which means the pocket has to slide and since movement is a weakness of that front 5, it just spells trouble. What I found interesting was when Rex was talking about the offense he said yeah we're going to ground and pound and run the ball, but we're going to throw it too, why wouldn't we when we have Sammy Watkins out there. I may just be reading too much into it, but I found it interesting that he didn't mention Manuel. Most coaches would be like yeah we're going to throw the ball too, so and so back there is a quarterback we have trust in to make the right throws.

NucksPatsFan Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Don't read if you don't want Patriots news Word out of NE is that Revis is more fired up than Brady. Was listening to WEEI between lectures and they played a couple clips from his post practice media session: he's been firing up the guys on the practice field and in the film room, acting like a coach almost, not letting the guys get unfocused. Talked about how he still carries losing back to back conference championships on his shoulder and that there's no way he's not going to reach the super bowl this time around. Color me shocked that someone could be more fired up than Tom, but hopefully his play against TY backs up his words and he shuts him down for the 2nd time in 3 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes as a shock to you that the 'Hawks are favoured on a canucks forum??? You need to get out a little more. Or go post on some Pats board.

And to answer your question, no, it's not surprising the Seahawks are more popular on a Canucks board. What was surprising was that up until a year and a half ago there was next to no Seahawks talk on the Canucks forum.

NucksPatsFan Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) And let me guess, you were a diehard Pats fan when Bledsoe or the Flutie controversy existed. Yes, I did watch Bledsoe start for New England at QB. Being born just an hour away from Foxborough makes it a little easy to stay a Pats fan after moving to the west. No, I didn't see Flutie start for New England at QB. I did see him be a back up for New England though.

Tonight's game was awesome, the Bonino goal should be a GOTY candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Romo Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Most fandom start as a bandwagon.
