The Buffalo Bills have been a mess at the quarterback
position for a long time, they cut ties with a middle of the road QB in Ryan
Fitzpatrick who has been nothing short of erratic when he was with the
Bills. This season they can truly turn
things around, as of right now it seems that Tavaris Jackson, Kevin Kolb and EJ
Manuel will be competing for the starting job, my thoughts are that this will
actually go down to Kolb and Manuel with Jackson being the odd man out.
It is really hard to say who the Bills will start this
season, but I would not be too surprised if the Bills start Kolb and let Manuel
learn from the sidelines, this is not just because Kolb is a veteran it is also
because Manuel has also been known to force some plays while he was in
college. I think Kolb has chances to
succeed in Buffalo but that is to be seen, however with a strong run game and
an offensive line I think he can stay upright and play better then in Arizona.
What I think the Bills should do is start EJ Manuel at some
point in the season if not from the start, this may not be the popular thing to
say but the Bills have been stating they want to run the ball more meaning that
he will not have the ball in his hands most of the time. He has athleticism and while he is the drop
back type passer he can run if needed, and with the recent success of the
pistol read option in the NFL I think this could be used in Buffalo. He will have Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller in
the backfield, both who are capable of having 1,000 yard and 10 plus touchdown
seasons, using them along with Manuel to run a read option could pay dividends.
We will probably have to wait and see what the Bills will
exactly do at the QB spot, but I really do think the starting spot will go down
to Kolb and Manuel because Jackson isn’t a quality started in my mind, but I
think his knowledge will be valuable to both Kolb and Manuel.
