BillsFan130

I see your points. Im just personally not sold on Cousins as a franchise guy. If he was even like a Matt Ryan type then I would have no problem with the Bills spending a ton of money at the QB position

Nooooo lol. No way I would go after cousins especially at 27 to 30 mil per year

Lol so depressing:(

Don't remind me lol. Eli, Rivers, Ben get drafted and then the Bills get JP Losman:(

I'm not too sure about that. More Tds and more big plays? I would say for sure. More mistakes and more turnovers? I would also say for sure as well. So it depends on what that balance is

This is solid news. He was a nice surprise last year

Ok...... And??...

Thats really not a point proving anything. TT owed 18 mil next year if he’s on the team. Peterman, 600k or something? Do I really need to say more?

Ya it will all depend if they decide to carry 3 QBs or not. I think at best Peterman is the 3rd stringer next year What’s your point though? I still don’t know where you’re going with this

And your point is?... lol

It’s true. Anyone but Tyrod sounds great until a guy like Nate Peterman starts and shatters the interception record in a 16 game season

Exactly. They are a 5 to 6 win team last year without all those turnovers

There offence was pitiful last year. Im in agreement with you there

I’m not boasting at all about the offence. Im saying turnovers are huge in games and was the difference in 3 to 4 bills wins this year

Seriously? Lol. Against Atlanta they got a defensive TD and they won by 4 points. They had 3 turnovers that game that lead to 10 to 13 points. Easily the difference in the game. Against Denver they got 3 turnovers which resulted in 6 points and took off points off the board for the Broncos. TB they literally won the game off a fumble that set up the game winning kick. Oaklsnd they got 4 turnovers and one was a defensive TD. You’re actually saying the Bills win at least 2 of those games without those turnovers/not turning the ball over? Not a chance in hell

Nope it’s not a given. But I would wager a lot that a rookie QB or a QB like Mccown will throw easy into double digits INTs next year if on the Bills. Turnovers are not over blown in my opinion. They were the main reason why the Bills got into the playoffs. Denver, ATL, TB, Oak. Those are 4 games where the Bills won because of protecting the ball and forcing turnovers on the defensive side

No the topic in which I was originally replying too was there can be a regression from TT if the Bills start a rookie or a bridge vet next year. Not saying the Bills shouldn’t draft a rookie QBas I definitely want them too. But don’t expect an automatic improvement in 1 year. Im not sure why you are stuck on this 30 and 10 argument. No QB on the Bills next year is going to come close to that. Obviously anyone would take 30 and 10.... A 30 TD to 10 INT ratio is a borderline MVP candidate.....

His quote was something along the lines of “I’ll talk 30 over 10 rather than 14 over 4”. I was responding to his quote

Lol who wouldn’t?... You’re saying a rookie QB or a bridge vet QB comes in next year and throws 30 and 10?...

Interceptions are way more of a killer than TD passes. Even if what you are saying is true, if someone throws 28 TD passes and 16-20 INTS, that's going to do no good

Well my point was there would be more interceptions which would result in less wins. Taking care of the football is a big part of the quarterbacks job. Its no good if you throw for 300 yards every game but have 2 to 3 interceptions. As we well know watching Fitzpatrick for years lol

Damn that's a lot lol

In terms of yards and making big plays, there would be no regression from TT as he fails to do that consistently. In terms of wins and losses? There certainly can be regression as TT doesn't throw many games away. (As someone like Ryan Fitzpatrick did, or as we saw this year with Nate Peterman the one game)

To 2? Wow. Not that I am complaining because I would love them to go up and get their guy, but how much would that cost them roughly?

I got to agree with you for the most part. I don’t think tackles is a great indication to judge a play of a linebacker. It can be a pretty flawed stat as lots of tackles can be 5 to 10 yards downfield. If there was a stat to show me tackles behind the line of scrimmage, or 2 yards or less, then that would say a lot more. Now I have nothing to back up to say Preston browns tackles were farther downfield, but it definitely seemed like he choose the wrong gap too often, and it for sure seemed like lots of his tackles were after 5 yards.
