Manuel to start this week

[Judge Fudge]

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Team president Russ Brandon says Bills rookie starting quarterback EJ Manuel should be ready to return to play at Pittsburgh on Sunday,

Brandon provided the update Wednesday during his weekly radio show on WGR-Buffalo.

Manuel has been cleared for contact and was scheduled to return to practice later in the day after missing four games with a sprained right knee.

Coach Doug Marrone was less definitive Monday when discussing the chances of Manuel playing against the Steelers (2-6). Marrone wanted to see Manuel and backup Thad Lewis in practice before making any determination. Lewis is set to return after missing one game with bruised ribs.

The Bills (3-6) have lost three of four since Manuel was hurt in a loss at Cleveland on Oct. 3.

Hard to really care. Season is over. I guess it's good to get him as many games is as possible to see if he's legit or just the next in a long line of consecutive Bills QB draft busts.

I wish he could throw the ball to the wide receivers. I'm getting very skeptical about his pre-snap reading ability. Very gross offense to look at yesterday, I don't care if he was "rusty" or not.

He's a bust. There's a reason why almost every team in the NFL didn't have him that highly rated and only the Bills did...because the Bills are idiots and haven't been able to evaluate QB talent since Jim Kelly left eons ago.

This team is pathetic...again. And they will be next year. And the year after that. Let's just get Marrone's next two years over again and start the process anew...
