We don't need a back up.We need a starter qb ...
To me, Buffalo is a perfect example of the perils of drafting a QB in the first round because you "need" one. EJ Manuel was the best of what was available to Buffalo and now Kyle freakin' Orton looks like a savior by comparison.
The 2015 draft looks like a bunch of EJ Manuels to me and I pray that the Rams don't take that path and draft one of them in the first round.
Yes and no. The good news is that with the new rookie cap, they can cut their losses on Manuel, and move on after what? 2 seasons? Look at Minnesota, same deal. Heck they even tried to reclamation project route and still were able to go QB again this year.To me, Buffalo is a perfect example of the perils of drafting a QB in the first round because you "need" one.

What really crushes a franchise is drafting a guy real early, being saddled with his contract and no real way to move on.
In fact, if Buffalo were to let Manuel go for a 4th rounder, I'd even think about picking him up

Lol they got him on the cheap 22 years for 11 dollars wow what a deal hahaUnder contract. Signed 2 2 year $11 deal.
I didn't say Manuel was a first round talent nor did I say that everyone in the NFL thought he was, I said that Buffalo reached for him because they "needed" to draft a QB in the first round. Their draft was dictated by need instead of taking a player that was right for their system and a value where he was picked.Wrong. No one even considered Manuel as a 1st rounder BUT Buffalo. Everyone was flabbergasted, especially me. Giant teach.
Mariota is a far superior QB.
I'm not anti-Orton but he's made his own mistakes. He's fool's gold. Kind of like Fitzbeard. They'll both play well at times but it never lasts and they'll usually make a killer mistake when you need them to make a play. No, they'll make a killer mistake when you just need them to not make a mistake.Kyle Orton is a solid starting QB. He can manage an offense and he doesn't turn the ball over frequently. I don't see why some people are so down on the guy.
