T-Mobile or EJ?
Oh. My. Goodness.
Oh. My. Goodness.
I don't know.. With OC Roman, Taylor and EJ look incredible and have looked good all preseason. They've also done this without the top 3 WRs and top RBs. I think we'll be passing more than you think.Nobody. Don't need one.
He's fooling me then. Sometimes it's more about the system than the QB.I think people are talking themselves in to Taylor. He's not a good quarterback.
I absolutely agree but Preseason Game 3 is usually a solid barometer. I don't know if these guys will be All-World come the regular season but one thing is for sure.. EJ has improved, a lot, and Taylor is showing why Kubiak wanted him so bad in the offseason. I also think Roman as OC is showing through in these guys developments.I would be careful drawing conclusions from preseason play. While I think it is fair for fans to be pleasantly surprised that these guys have not looked as awful as most of us expected, I would still worry about what will happen when defenses are actually game-planning to stop them.

We'll see. EJ went against the first string Pitt defense (not exactly a tough feat, I know) and the first string offense obliterated them. Offensive Line beat them up and let EJ and FJax/Clay run all over them. Let's just say I've seen enough to think this performance wasn't a total outlier. QBs don't usually play great all preseason (which EJ and TT have) then completely tank in the regular season.I don't agree
Nice! And sounds better and less maloik-like than OJ Taylor.EJ Taylor
As an aside...I'm sick of the recent NFL culture of throwing young QB's to the wolves on bad teams, and then quickly giving up on them and discarding them when they predictably struggle.
EJ Manuel was a reach where they picked him, and he never should've been starting as a rookie or even 2nd year guy in the first place.
If he was being brought along the way the NFL always brought along QB's until very recent years, this would be about the right time to give him his first(and not LAST) chance to start.
They released Fred. This one hurts. It's a business but I loved Fred and thought he had something left in the tank.
I'm not a huge Bryce Brown fan and was hoping to keep McCoy, Dixon and Fred as the RBs.
Karlos Williams will be the backup RB.
Wouldn't surprise me if Freddy requested to be released now so that he could catch on with another team and have a bigger role than he was going to have here. Hurts to see him go, but I'm happy for him. I think he'll get picked up very quickly.
Maybe they resign him at a lower salary.Karlos Williams will be the backup RB.

Karlos Williams is the perfect compliment to Lesean McCoy. He really flashed in preseason. That's the one-two punch with Brown/Dixon as depth. There really wasn't room for a 34 year old RB who is nowhere near as physically talented as the top 3 RB's I just listed. Dixon is younger and plays special teams.
FJax wasn't going to be getting many touches this year, if any. Love the guy but the move makes total sense.
