Schadenfreude is an enticing addiction.

Certainly. What grabbed my attention about this is that when Taylor was first hired, I feel like all I heard were negatives about everything except his mobility. His college scouting reports were poor, he had barely played in the league, and there was much speculation about his accuracy issues, his height, etc. I believe there was even a poll on this site about who would start that didn't even include him. And so, when Ryan started gushing about Taylor, I found myself thinking about Ryan's judgement concerning QBs. That does seem to be a common concern about Rex. It's comforting to hear other players, and pundits echoing his praise.

Very different situations, though. Ryan has gushed about Taylor, and the major gripe that I kept hearing upon his signing was that he was inaccurate. He does seem to be getting a lot of buzz.

Whoa... "Of the three starting options, Tyrod Taylor showed the best on Wednesday. Although he'll try to escape the pocket a bit more than you would like, his accuracy on deep throws made him stand out from both EJ Manuel and Matt Cassel."

Sorry if this was already posted on this thread (I've been out of the country for a while), but this is hilarious: http://deadspin.com/the-hilarious-brady-bashing-texts-sent-by-the-pats-bal-1702598756

Kujo becomes a reliable starter. Marqueis Gray. Fred, once again, exceeds expectations.

Does such a rule change increase the likelihood that we keep Tyrod on the roster?

It would be crazy for us to only carry two QBs, considering who we have: Matt Cassel, who has had injury issues, EJ, who has had injury issues, and Tyrod, who Rex is touting as being a great running QB. If our O-line is not significantly improved from last year (or even if it is), we could easily burn through all three of them before the end of the season. The position is just too tenuous. The argument could be made that the only reason Orton lasted 12 games is because he was so adept at collapsing into the fetal position.

Were this a civil case, a good defense attorney would settle out of court.

I'm going to cynically agree with this.

It's kinda funny...

Plus, Hogan has developed some great chemistry with EJ, if that ends up mattering.

Hell yeah! Great attitude, great work ethic, GREAT BILL!

I was wondering when the Tuel fans would come out of the woodwork to defend their guy. He certainly hasn't gotten much love lately. MAKE SOME NOISE, TUEL-TIMERS!!!

I hope Kujo will step up. But, unfortunately, that is a big "IF." Who???

Not this thread again...

I have no problem with Cassel here. Zero. BUT: Could someone with too much time on their hands photoshop some swell Derby Bonnets on these guys?

Little early to be hitting the sauce...

I'm pretty hammered right now, and it's not helping...

I'm not sure I entirely agree. I think it's a poor draft class in terms of elite players. But, if you take the top dozen or so players out of this class, I haven't seen any evidence that the remainder is below par for their position in this draft, compared to any other year minus its elite players.

I wish we has gone for Jake Fisher. But, I also remember posting a couple months ago that we should be going with bpa, and that's who they thought they were going for. This is all second guessing people who know a lot more than I do.

They're saying he's strong as hell.

Does Graham move to safety?

After seeing them play in shorts???

AAAaaaargh!!!
