I've watched him for two years and still see a lot of throws that his WR's make great plays on that you just know will be INT's in the NFL (like two or three throws alone on that game winning TD drive). It's probably a big reason that there are NFL GM's and scouts out there who do not think hes anywhere near an NFL QB (link not provided, was a twitter link a month or so back of NFL GM's and scouts anonymously chiming in on their takes on this years class of QB's...Watson was not loved)

I think people in here are ridiculous for thinking they can determine WHAT coach there is a difference of opinion on...but I would guess there is a difference of opinion between Pegulas and Whaley on who exactly is the right coach... And Whaley will yet again be forced a coach he is not sold on....so we will "see how this goes" I feel bad for Whaley, gets a bad rap because of meddling, ignorant owners

my dream draft scenario would be something like: 1- Hooker/Adams 2- Mahomes (doubt hes here, and still the pick even if we pick up Tyrods option) 3- best WR/RT available (maybe Gennesy from AandM for RT) 4- best WR/RT/pass rusher (Etta-Tawo WR Cuse) Address needs via FA as best as possible...if the above all happened I would be over the moon. I will keep dreaming.

BLUNTS man, not joints...kids dont smoke joints these days you hippie

you need to find twitter my man! That's where you can get alllllll that reliable first hand info Twitter = instant info from good sources (yes obviously there are bad ones on there too, but easy to figure out) TBD = in depth discussion of football I hope your not really using TBD for your breaking bills news

This is very true.

I forgot to mention, he's either the constant contrarian or just makes snide or sarcastic comments. Perhaps to hide lack of true thought on an answer or laziness

Wawrow is a good writer...but his Schtick of being the constant contrarian is tired, and therefore his writing is tired. Anyone: the sky is blue JW: no, it's jade

Brown was signed before any injuries to any defensive player, for the record. The plan was for Brown to be a starter, and then Reggie was still on the board so they hand to pull the trigger - making brown a probable backup. Reggie gets hurt and brown shines. A good pickup by Whaley.

Great post I don't hate the EJ pick because I'd rather swing and miss than strike out looking - evaluate the best you can and make the pick I want us to draft a QB again this year regardless of Tyrod - same thing, evaluate and swing for it Either strategy could work (build the team first or get the QB first) - it's the NFL anything can happen

Fair points all the way around. I think wood has more than 2 but that's all just conjecture at this point. I wouldn't disagree about Mills. And as far as Richie is concerned - he has had up and down games, and has had uncertainty next to him a little bit with center spot. He has not been a train wreck (not that you say he is). My main point was we are in good shape going into next year with an upgrade at RT - but this is an above average unit and is not our main problem on this team. As far as planning for the future absolutely but, you can only fill so many holes in an offseason and we have a lot of potential holes

and there are about 5 QBs in the league that can dominate games and take their teams to the playoffs without any help lol

I cannot believe this is even a thread. Plan for wood's departure???? He will be playing for the Bills until he retires (which should be about 4 years from now-ish, unless were moronic and let him walk). He is a top 5 center in the NFL. Richie? He is seriously a stud at LG, and will be for the next couple of years. Cordy Glenn is also a very good LT - he gets beat from speed rush about once or twice a game from the eye test, but all LT's get beat once or twice a game (Even Joe Thomas). Miller is in his second year and is great in the run game, and seems to be improving in pass pro, which is surprising given who is next to him at RT and the fact there was a midseason switch at center due to injury. Mills is below average, but I do think he improved the last few games (maybe inferior talent against?), but I would agree he needs to and should be replaced. Groy has been a revelation honestly, and the guy is HUGE - he must be 99% muscle. Great backup at many spots it seems. 1 out of 5 needs to be replaced???? Jesus, 30 teams in the NFL would love to have that problem

Well...Dak will have to work out as well for that to be true. Sure he had a great start to the season (helps to have the best line in football, the best rushing attack, healthy WR's - one of them being top 5 in the game) but he has looked awfully warty the past few weeks when teams are keying in on what he did well and making him adjust. Im not saying he is a bust, im just not saying hes great as of right now.

beeeecaaauseeee this year is already over.....sooooo......whats wrong with looking to next year?

I am of the opinion that many QBs who have failed could THRIVE in another system/opportunity....and on the flip side, some good QB's who have had success would FAIL in another system/opportunity. There are exceptions; some QBs would be amazing regardless of system/opp (Peyton Manning), and some QB's would still suck regardless of system/opp (Manziel). I THINK Polish Dave's point is that that is a lot of QBs who have all been very terrible in Romans system (and in my opinion, maybe one or two could have success if they were in another system/opp) - so is it ALL Those QB's that are bad, or is Romans system really that bad?

That is not what I imagine...I imagine a QB dropping back in the pocket and going through his progressions to find an open target...and yes, sometimes these are half field reads based on pre-snap reads. What I am saying, and know is true, is that every game there are multiple times where Tyrod drops back like other QBs in the league, has good to great protection with several seconds to make his reads and throw like other QBs in the league, but he does not actually find the open target that IS actually open like other QBs in the league do. I agree no one here knows what the play call is designed to do specifically, or what Tyrod is being told to do. But I do know that every NFL offense has things called passing plays, where the QB has several options to work through to find the open target, and is expected to find and throw to that open target. I know that indeed our offense has these passing plays, and I know that I have routinely seen Tyrod not be able to locate that guy (not on broken plays, not on scrambles, not on designed one read/half field plays, but actual NFL passing plays where the onus is on the QB to make some reads and make the play) enough that it makes me worry he can never be the guy we would need him to be. I still think your point about Roman offenses never producing even an average aerial attack is a great point. I lean towards the argument "we already know who Tyrod is" despite this point...but I can see the other side of "who knows what Tyrod can do with an actual passing offense"...I just have a hard time reconciling with what we all see on the field on Sundays when he IS asked to be a QB despite of all other factors.

It was a really nice pass by Jagr, but Lehner was literally laying on the ice with his back to the puck FOR NO REASON. Why is he our goaltender?

I cannot imagine a situation, ever in football, where there is a coordinator change and that new coordinator uses some other guys offense EXCEPT for an in season change. Believe me, if Lynn is kept on as OC, he WILL change the offense to his offense.

No I'm referring to sitting in the pocket and misses guys...its a routine joke in our season ticket section. No, none of us are offensive QB's or coordinators but we can see that there are guys open routinely and he does not see them. I see other QB's sit in the pocket and find open WR's...why can our guy not? And to your last point...I can easily see a situation where Rex is kept, Lynn is kept as OC and institutes his own offense and Tyrod is still their QB...why is that not an option? (obviously Lynn would still be run first, but he is currently using Romans playbook and designs...I'm sure he has his own that he would implement - which would tell us if Taylor is truly being held back by the evidence that Roman does not know how to create an aerial offense)

I am off the tyrod bandwagon and have been for five weeks...BUT, this argument does hold water regardless of how people feel about TT. An offense that has never produced an aerial attack and we expect him to light it up in the air? Now...Polish Dave...how do you account for the fact that we have all seen WR's / TE's wide open on the field and TT not finding them? That cannot be a product of Roman's poor design, can it? Is the system designed to miss open players? I cannot see how that is possible.

Report last night was Rudolph is returning to OK state (with a couple of the other "on the fence" guys)

I prefer Mahomes I think over any other QB (sans Trubisky)...but I think we would have to take him in the first to ensure getting him and I don't see that happening.

according to several scouts, according to Rotoworld, Trubisky wont even be on the board when the Jets pick - so I dont see how we would get him (unless we do a Julio Jones type trade)

I know what they said to save face for being a bunch of cowards, but I watched them staring at the jumbo tron and watch replay after replay of the dirty ass hit...this team is SOFT
