FSU Fans react to EJ Manuel Oakland Raider debut

Related Topics: EJ Manuel, Christian Ponder

EJ Manuel may be one of the most underappreciated players in the Jimbo Fisher era at FSU. His stats are better than Christian Ponder and he won bigger games for the ‘Noles.

His measurables coupled with his play and potential got him drafted in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills.

However, he was out of Buffalo after four seasons of progressively starting fewer games, and traded to the Oakland Raiders to likely backup Derek Carr.

Manuel got his first taste of action in a Raider uniform Saturday night against the Arizona Cardinals and played about as well he could have hoped.
