The Buffalo Bills will start a rookie quarterback in Week 1 after all,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com/nike-shox-sko-22]billige nike shox[/url]. He just may not be the one they wanted to start.
Coach Doug Marrone announced on Monday the Bills would roll with undrafted Jeff Tuel in the Sept. 8 regular-season opener against New England if first-rounder EJ Manuel isn't healthy enough to play. While Manuel is recovering from minor knee surgery on his left knee, veteran Kevin Kolb is battling major post-concussion effects and newcomer Matt Leinart was just signed.

That leaves Tuel,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com]nike shox[/url], who wasn't even a full-time starter at Washington State last season,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com]nike løbesko[/url], in position to take the reins of an NFL team in his first NFL game. Playing in the Cougars' high-volume passing attack under Mike Leach,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com/nike-running-shoes-24]nike free[/url], Tuel threw for just 8 touchdowns with 8 interceptions. He averaged just 6.29 yards per attempt in 2012, and was sacked once for every 10.5 dropbacks.
Now Tuel is set up for a duel with Tom Brady. While the Patriots future Hall of Fame quarterback knows a little something about being passed up in the draft, Tuel's potential to be a more immediate No. 1 is more historic.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, per the Bills' official website, an undrafted rookie quarterback hasn't started a team's opener in the modern era,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com/nike-running-shoes-24]billige nike free[/url], and it hasn't happened since 1967.
"It's pretty cool," Tuel said about the possibility. "It would definitely be an honor if that’s the case. I’m surprised that I'm the first, but if that's the case it's a cool thing."
Tuel has been a different QB under Marrone in the preseason. He has completed 21-of-26 passes for 236 yards and two TDs, for a team-high stellar passer rating of 130.1.
Regardless of Manuel or Tuel is the Bills' quarterback in Week 1,[url=http://www.lockshoe.com/nike-shox-sko-22]billige nike sko[/url], the game plan would be the same: handing off often to dynamic running back C.J. Spiller to take pressure off one green passer.
