Ouch to get dropped for Orton (I wish there was a wincing emoticon).
Never understood his first round selection, at least the Bills should have a high draft pick to replace him with...
EJ Manuel dropped

Definitely a lot of worse options than Orton though. He's played pretty well at times.

Are there? Last time Orton started a season as QB he was dropped for Tebow.

I've never heard dropped be used for cut before.

I didn't say the guy was Joe Montana...but he's played well in the past. He's won some games and has put up some numbers before too.

Dropped implies "cut" to me too.

I thought he was cut as well. Dropped has always meant "cut" to me. Never heard it used in this context.
As far as EJ goes, it was obvious he was going to bust. He's an awesome athlete but he's completely lost at the QB position, he has no idea what he's doing. In the NFL being purely athletic doesn't cut it. He still has time to make it up, but I don't think he's ever going to be a good QB.

Maybe it's an English thing? Dropped has always been interchangeable with demoted, dropped from one position to a lower position.

Glad I'm not the only one who opened this thread expecting Manuel to be on the open market haha. My first thoughts were "Damn the Rams should grab him!"

I too thought it meant cut. As in being dropped from the roster. Perhaps just too ambiguous of a word. Idk good day!

Bills front office is ......bad/stupid/ incompetent. No way they should have taken Manuel over Geno. Geno on that team would have been a likely playoff team last year maybe and a lock this year. Manuel never had the bottom line trait...... accuracy.
