He'll go to Jacksonville. Taylor is Marrone's dream come true. Safe, never take chances, no picks because punts are good, etc.
And considering the dominant defense they have there, it may actually work. Wouldn't that be a kick to the onions?

Flutie in a rout.
Good for the Bills because it frees a lot of cap space by letting go of a player who has provided very poor value. Good for Jags because they don't have to take on all of that cap for a player that has shown dominance during his career and is still under 30.
Good post.
The Bills need to go 2-1 over these next three games in order for Tyrod to keep his starting job. Regardless of how good or bad he performs from an individual standpoint. They know what he is. It's all about wins and losses.
Tyrod will start these next two road games regardless.
Double-digit wins in a single season. 8-8 is the best he has done - and that was with an average defense and a perfect system built for him.
It would take a ton of fortune/luck for that to happen and it would result in one-and-done in the playoffs and would never happen again.
No one is saying the defense is fine the way they have played the last two games.
The Saints have won double-digit games with average / slightly below-average defenses. The Bills will NEVER win double-digit games with average defense as long as Taylor is the starting quarterback. The limitations of Taylor requires a dominant defense to have a chance to win games.
As hard as I've been on Tyrod this season, I don't disagree with their decision to not pull him quite yet. He's a team captain, the team is still in a Wild Card position and he had one terrible game. If he has two more terrible games on the road these next two weeks, then I'll be calling for Peterman to start at home against the Patriots.
Peterman reminds me a lot of Kirk Cousins.
Both small, limited physical skills (which is why both were drafted late), but both are tough-minded overachievers who just know how to trust what they see and sling the football accurately.
I know some here think Cousins stinks for some reason, but those posters are morons.
