Wayne Arnold

It's not about mobility. It's about pocket awareness and time to throw. Taylor may be an athletic freak, but he makes the OLine look worse than it is because his progression speed is so painfully slow and he holds onto the ball longer than any starting QB in the NFL.

I don't know this but it's a hypothesis based on his willingness to attempt tough throws in the preseason.

A quarterback who can anticipate and is not afraid to fire the ball and throw receivers open couldn't hurt. Peterman would throw more picks, but he'd also make more plays.

That's a lot of blow.

Who cares if he was a backup linebacker in the NFL? He played wide receiver in college and has spent the last 22 years immersed in Shanahan's offense. Mike Leach didn't even play football and he's one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time. Awful take.

They're here to build a winner for the long-term, not just put a band-aid on the current season. A strictly mobile quarterback is not sustainable over the long-term. They love Taylor's character but if he can't function like an NFL quarterback then he's not someone we want to keep around.

Cocaine is to Miami as the chicken wing is to Buffalo

There's a reason for that.

I'm telling you right now - Beane is not going to trade a high draft pick for a current player for this season. It's simply not going to happen.

It's not a good thing that Taylor is only willing to attempt big boy passes to Clay. (Especially considering Clay is out for at least the next five games.)

Who knows, maybe Dennison is incompetent. It's quite possible. However, let's say for sake of discussion that he is not. Why would the offense be having such problems after such efficient seasons in 2015 and 2016 if Dennison is in fact good? Offensive Line - Cordy Glenn's injuries, John Miller's regression, Jordan Mills is still Jordan Mills, and the overall learning curve of a new and entirely different blocking scheme has caused the OLine to go from very good to not-so-good. Taylor staying in the pocket - Considering the absence of the read-option play and Taylor remaining in the pocket like a prototypical NFL quarterback, it's been much easier for opposing defenses to stop the run. They don't have to take Taylor's mobility into account nearly as often. You could say, "Then why doesn't Dennison put in the read-option and let Tyrod run more?!" And I would say it's a call the entire organization made before the season began: seeing if Taylor could be a real NFL quarterback who could pick opposing defenses apart with his arm. Wide Receiver unit - A regression in the skill and talent from this unit considering injuries and other factors. Without having to pay quite as much attention to the WR's, opposing defenses can stack the line and dare Taylor to beat them with his arm. Tyrod Taylor is still a flawed NFL QB - Taylor still has trouble making his progressions at a sufficient rate, still lacks pocket awareness, and still refuses to attempt to throw receivers open on a consistent basis. Whether the wide receivers can make the play or not - it's Taylor's responsibility to attempt the passes instead of hesitating and taking the sack. Because of this, he hasn't been able to keep defenses honest and prevent them from stacking the line. Couldn't all four of these things be true? And if so, wouldn't that result in the offense's regression even with a talented offensive coordinator?

That's exactly what it is. And it's not working so far.

How else do you expect the coach to reply to that? "Wait - really?! Wow, Tyrod sucks! Peterman is now our starter based on that statistic alone! Thank you for that info." He wasn't "ruined." He transferred and had a great career at another Power 5 Conference program.

They're not trading for Larry Fitzgerald

What is Taylor "good enough" for, exactly?

If Taylor and the offense aren't better after the Thursday night game vs. Jets (11/2) then I expect the coaching staff to make a switch. Either that, or they wait until 12/10 vs. Colts.

They have to fully evaluate him as an NFL quarterback. Being a running back who takes snaps from center isn't a sustainable long-term strategy.

Per Wawrow, the Bills have been held to under 300 yards on offense in five straight games for the first time since the 2009 season.

Doesn't seem like they appreciate Glenn's dedication.

Wanna bet?

They're not going to trade a high draft pick for a receiver, so scratch that. They're not going to fire Dennison mid-season, so scratch that. They're just going to have to ride with what they have and evaluate after the season.

Wide receiver is so overblown. Even Tate is capable when the quarterback passes him the ball. It's up to the quarterback to make the right reads and give his receiver a chance at making a play on the ball. You rarely see that from our quarterback. How many drops did we see from the WR's today? I don't recall any.

I think it's a mix of the following: (a) Cordy Glenn being injured/out (b) The rest of the OLine having trouble adapting to the new blocking sheme (Miller, especially) © Our #2 running back STINKS
