Buffalo Bills head coach Doug Marrone has decided to start Kyle Orton over EJ Manuel. The move came as a bit of a surprise, considering Manuel is suppose to be the future, while Orton is who he is at this point.
The young Manuel is taking the high road, however.
“When this happened, obviously I was upset and frustrated. But at the same time, be a man, be a pro. I kicked up my work ethic even more,” Manuel said. “Be more consistent with everything: how the ball is coming out of my hands, my enunciation in the huddle, all those types of things.”
“I think it’s about the team. The team is bigger than I am,” Manuel said. “Whatever [Marrone] feels is best to help this team, we’ll go with it.”
Buffalo travels to Detroit this Sunday.
