I just dont understand why the NFL doesn't deal with the ref problems. Its really a disgrace.

Sad truth is that Tolzein is better.

As long as we are not eliminated from post season play you have to go with the experienced hand (Tyrod) obviously. If/when we are eliminated and assuming Tyrod fails to improve I would start Cardale. That is unlikely to happen though because they need to give Tyrod his shot and given his contractual situation the more they see of him the better. I expect that even if his performance continues to flatline, Rex will back him to Pegs and Whaley. I defer to posters who closely follow Ohio State so there is little doubt that Cardale is raw and has big holes in his game. He looks to me to have a pretty good head on his shoulders though so I doubt that playing in a few games at season's end would hamper his development. What it would do though is give him some reps and live action experience that IMO could only help him progress. It would also give everyone interested in the team, Pegs, Whaley, the coaches and, yes, the fans, a chance to start evaluating him. The sample size is ridiculously small, but I saw him make a couple of throws in preseason that all evidence would suggest Tyrod is simply unable to do. They were eye popping throws and as good as any you will see a franchise guy make (and it really doesn't matter that he was going against players who may now be flipping burgers). His footwork is often not what you would want to see but if memory serves some of the throws were still good because, though inexperienced, he was reacting quickly as a result of good field vision (he really didn't have time to set up properly, though admittedly ideally he should have) and his ridiculous arm strength compensated for poor mechanics. If he were to see the field you would have to limit the playbook but if not asked to do too much he could perhaps be effective. Not writing off Tyrod by any means and I think that his progression might be hindered by gameplans the coaches think give us the best chance of winning. Nobody wants turnovers but if you don't take chances you are a lot easier to defend. The real problem though may well be that he is not equiped to take those chances with an acceptable risk/reward profile. If that is the case, they have no business exercising that option. Sign a vet and make sure you think hard about drafting QBs.

Let him retire. No doubt Harvin is fast, but lots of marginal players are fast. He has not shown the explosiveness that was his trademark for a long time. I don't think he has ever shown it in a Bills uni. The thing that made him special just isn't there anymore.

Wonder if we would have drafted him if Shanny hadn't done the unexpected. Wonder if we would have drafted Dak if Denver hadn't taken Paxton Lynch and Jerry had. Wonder if we could have should have gone for Russell one round earlier. Always left wondering....oh well.

Deep french kissing. Yuk.

very entertaining game I must admit with some nastyhits on both sides -Thomas, Butler. Only thing that ruined it for me was seeing Bill and Pete Carroll DFKing after it was over. Rex would never do that.

Robey on Gronk?

Or destroy Tom. Sack was good though.

Would be great if Hunter found his mojo in Buffalo. Measurables off the chart. Not holding my breath tho. Looks like the curious case of a young man who can do just about anything athletically except maybe catch a football.

Having watched both players for years now I've concluded that there is something wrong with these guys. Whatever it is exactly I'm pretty sure it will prevent them from ever becoming good QBs. Tyrod certainly has his issues and may never make it either but I think right now he has more upside.

Was my favourite play of the day. Set the tone for what proved to be an a$$kicking.Throwing two opposing players into the return guy. Ridiculous.

Lorenzo Alexander. Physical player. Set the tone all day. Zach Brown. Playin for his next contract. Hopefully with the Bills.

Hip labral tear.

Not a bad person. He is well liked off the field and he is smart enuf to say, though apparently not do, all the right things. He's basically just a sick puppy. Real shame. Has the talent of a HOF guy.

Unless this is a great year to go all out for a QB prospect, I'd be absolutely fine with this pick.

This is Tyrod's opportunity to show the football world just what he has got to offer. And given the way his contract situation is structured that is simply the way it has got to be in the best interests of theteam andthe player. I can't foresee starting Cardaleunless things go so far south that its apparent Tyrod is not the answer. If that happens it would be late in the season and after the Bills have been eliminated from the post season. However if that is where we wind up (or in the event Tyrod goes down) I would seriously consider starting Cardale (ahead of EJ). I don't think getting some live reps is going to destroy his confidence. He looks to be a very confident young man. Dak Prescott is doing quite well thank you, as is Carson Wentz. And especially if Tyrod craps out the onus will be on the Bills to start finding out fast exactly what they have in Cardale. Frankly, so far this year he is the only one of the three who looks anything like an NFL quarterback.

Both Gilmore and Darby are good cover corners. Sort of like Leodis. Right there but get beat anyway because no ball skills. Actually they have better ball skills than Leodis. Not elite calibre all in tho. Maybe Darby gets there someday.

Yeah, then I had to watch Ben immediately throw a td to Antonio Brown the minute he saw the single coverage.

Jeff is going to look pretty bad if Goff flames out and Wentz continues to shine. Eagles said they would have taken Wentz with the number one pick. You expect them to say that but if he really was their guy all along maybe some organizations know how to pick em and some dont. Even holding the first pick is no guarantee. Dont know if I trust Whaley to be making that decision eight months from now if Tyrod cant do it.

The Bills have only one QB with any semblance of pocket presence, field vision, anticipation and the ability to throw receivers open. Unfortunately he is the rawest of rookies aspiring to play the most difficult and demanding of positions. Sensing the probable result of live action and responding to it appropriately and immediately is an inate gift that successful players have. Wayne Gretzky wasnt very big and wasnt the fastest guy on skates, but he is in the GOAT discussion because, as he frequently himself said, he was always able to visualize how action would unfold an put himself in position to score. It was his greatest attribute. Cardale's physical gifts are pretty awesome, but what mostly bodes well for him is possession of this skill. All good and successful QBs have that.

Nobody circles the firing squad like the Buffalo Bills!

Have often wondered if MP would be interested in a HC'ing job.

Tyrod's all about ball security He's got that part nailed down real good

Now if that isnt Trent nothing is.
