Possible backup QB, Bills E.J. Manuel, would you?

[Fla Cowpoke]

Our local sports radio was talking to a Buffalo sportswriter about their QB situation...they have Matt Cassel, Tyrod Taylor and EJ Manuel all competing for the starting spot. He suggested that Manuel is the third guy and if so could be cut (I know, he is starting their 3rd game, but the reporter basically said it was Ryan giving him the chance to cut his throat).

If Manuel were cut, would you consider him an upgrade to Weeden at QB?

I might take Quincy right now over Weeden, so I would jump all over this.

No

 

[FaSho]

Bring back Alex Tanney!

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Yes. More raw materials. Younger. Cheaper. And the season is toast if Romo goes down anyways.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

No

What's Kitna up to

Kidding. Sort of

I would definetely take Manuel and try to turn him into a adequate backup.

He's coaching in Waxahachie.

He's coaching in Waxahachie.

And supposedly got bigtime money to do so, and is changing lives there. Good for him!

 

[AzorAhai]

Yes I would. Weeden serves no purpose whatsoever. He's old, has no upside and if he goes in for an extended game period the season is over anyways. Give me any young, cheap QB with a chance to develop into a legitimate b/u over Weeden.

Austin Davis is going to be cut. He's behind Foles, Keenum and Mannion. I'd rather have him over Weeden.

Funny Quincy at least led the team to the playoffs. I don't think Weeden is capable of that.

 

[sureletsrace]

Sure, why not?

He can't be worse than Weeden, and at least Manuel has time on his side.

And people wonder why Parcells is in the HOF. Miracle worker!

The lump of mud in my yard has more talent than Weeden

I'd take Dustin Vaughan over Weeden at this point. As has been echoed in many of the responses above, if Romo goes down, the season is toast, so the Cowboys may as well try to really develop a true backup. Weeden is not going to be in the league for very much longer, so why waste time on him?

 

[rags747]

I take Manuel right now, where do I sign?

 

[Proximo]

Bring back Alex Tanney!

Tanney time!

Honestly though, I wish we would've never gotten rid of him. If we would've kept him on our squad I reckon he'd be a better backup than both Vaughn and Weeden are right now. Plus I think he has more raw talent than both.

Just my opinion.
