Me too.
No one is Tom Brady. He is a once in a generation find. Better quit wishing for another Brady.
Holy smokes, I don't think you could intentionally miss the point more.
I don't think he did,
perhaps lowering your expectations a little might help?
-
Those are separate issues. I root for the laundry. If TT is suiting up on Sunday, I root for him to play like Brady.
But that doesn't mean on Monday I believe he is.
All well and good,
and If you have an open mind fan favorites are just that and nothing more IMO.
-
I agree on all fronts here. Except the TT crowd shares some left over EJers.
I can easily see not wanting to walk away from TT, but I would've liked to see meaningful competition NOW. If you aren't sure he's your guy, keep bringing in guys.
How about just being a fan of the whole team and the starting QB whomever it may be?
I'm a big fan of T T and also excited about Peterman...
-
...Andre Reed made his mark and living with YAC along with grit and determination....if Dennison can design an offense for TT to accomplish what you stated, teaching him to spread the wealth versus locking on to one guy, as well as making his scrambling ability selective versus a constant necessity, the passing game dimension could become a strong suit to compliment the run......
JK was a master at throwing his playmakers open and connecting with them in stride. (fearless)
The J K to Andre Reed connection was truly a beautiful thing to see my friend.
...Low wonderlic be damned...

...may need to so he can find 'em open.....GPS maybe??............
high heels???

No. Some people think that some people being proven right is more important than the actual outcome.
touche

I would
Some folks care more about being right then the bills winning...somewhere out there i get this vision of a goat being sacrificed and a Tyrod Taylor voo doo doll....
getting poked in the eyes with needles by Crusher,
-
This really makes no sense. Why would someone who doesn't think Tyrod is good enough be upset if he has a great season and we make the playoffs? I'm sure there are a few crazies that have their minds made up regardless but most would probably re-evaluate their opinion of the situation changes.
because to some people being proved right (or wrong in this case) is more important then the actual outcome,
and no, it doesn't make sense
-
....something is definitely wrong.....me and my posts always nauseate you......what the hell happened?...should I call 911?................
Hey man, you've been on a roll
-
At first, yes, but look at the final 9 games of 2015. G-Ro actually made an effort to get him involved, and he was the 4th-most targeted player in the NFL over that 9-game stretch...and he was the most productive WR in the league as a result.
I love Sammy, huge, huge fan, and I think he's about as an elite WR as you will ever find.
Perhaps Coachable=more scripted?
yup
-
What do you think Dennison is?
Roman 2.0
Cold weather = Run Ball
I think it would be foolish to stop doing the only thing Buffalo did well over the last 2 seasons.
-
No, we aren't. He's had basically equal production to Stevie's best season in fewer games with far, far fewer targets.
I'll continue to say it: the biggest impediment to Sammy's productivity has been lack of targets, because he's been outstanding on a per-target basis. His second-biggest impediment has been availability, but he's hardly been an outlier in that regard as far as receivers go.
See above: biggest issue is lack of targets when he's on the field. A relatively distant second is his availability.
Product of a G Roman run 1st O IMO.
-
No...the implication was quite clear: Stevie's best season in the NFL required 60% more targets to produce a similar number of yards and TDs than Sammy's best season (in which he played 3 fewer games I might add).
The 3 fewer games is part of the equation/problem with Sammy.
Don't get me wrong , I'm still Sammy >>>>>SJ, and its not even close.
-
Opens thread. See someone say Stevie > Sammy. Closes thread.
lol
-
What?
In Stevie's best season, he caught 82 passes on 143 targets for 1,073 yards and 10 TDs.
In Sammy's second year, in which he played 13 games, he caught 60 passes on 95 targets for 1,047 yards and 9 TDs
Sammy has the 5th-most receiving yards before turning 24 years old of any WR in NFL history.
Did you just make an argument against yourself? 82 is more then 60
-
I've had this same argument with him. He just wants to spin everything to where it favors Tyrod because he's obsessed with being right about him.
when its expressed as an opinion I'm not sure why it even matters.
-
Totally respect wanting to wait & see, but when was the last time we had anything close to regime change? You have to go back 10+ years, as Levy, Brandon, Nix, & Whaley were all inside hires (and terrible ones, at that). I don't think firing someone & replacing them with their pupil qualifies. This time actually feels different to me.
It really does feel different,
-
Why do people keep using words like this in speculation
You are attempting to put 2 and 2 together
We dont know that its accurate....we might never know
Would you be upset with 10 games?
with our schedule , lol
picture me happy John
-
I don't think my position does hinge on whether the Bills would have released him if he had not renegotiated. The fact that the Bills went to him to try and cut $10m off his salary and halve his contract tells you they don't see him as their QB of the future.
Had he refused to accept the paycut and they'd have kept him on his previous terms (unlikely in my opinion but I fully accept I do not know one way or the other) we would not have known that the Bills do not see him as their QB of the future but it wouldn't make it any less true, just less public. You do not go to guys you think are your Quarterback of the future and ask them to halve their contract and give up $10m. I am sorry that is simply not how the NFL works and hence I find it a stretch in logic to get myself to the place others seem to be at.
I respectfully disagree
-
I can't say anything as fact because I don't know things that don't happen as fact. I can't slide into alternate realities the way some apparently can and find out.
BUT...
I think the Bills would have picked up his option. The moment Taylor made that comment on clean out day I said a number of times from there on out that Buffalo would have been fiscally irresponsible to NOT try to get Taylor to renegotiate and that we would be hearing things "out of" OBD from "experts" and "insiders" that would need to be taken with a grain of salt because those types of "private-made-public" comments are often used in these types of scenarios to leverage the other side and get a better deal.
It was a big game of chicken and Taylor flinched first. But I really don't think Buffalo was prepared to cut him and go into the 2017 NFL year with Cardale Jones and Josh Woodrum as our QBs with the hope of finding some other capable starter for this year in FA or the draft because I think McDermott wants to win now, not later.
The Bills new HC McD may not have played hard ball in my humble opinion my friend.
I'm not doubting that McD wants to win now, but keeping Taylor ups fan expectations and upper management pressure IMO.
-
.....101% agree bud.....my skepticism is rooted in his ability to process the entire field in <5 seconds to find receivers open (WR's &TE's)....just not sure how or if you can speed up the brain's "processing time".....he is certainly NOT alone, past, present and in the future......
I understand AFL,
Peterman is a fast learner so...
-
...it's not "humble"....it's highly accurate bud.....I wasn't interested in stats during garbage time to make a critical point about the kid..only an azz would hope he fails to live his lifelong dream as an NFL QB......was trying to get a handle on his decision making prowess when the game is in reach or on the line...many times stats have talked about a QB's 4th quarter comebacks.....is he capable or does he have plenty more to do?.....
From a passing perspective Taylor still has lots of hard work ahead of him IMO AFL.
-
all runs are included, sacks are not though.
Garbage time is pretty subjective, which makes that analysis difficult.
All QB's have garbage time production in my humble opinion.
Whats more garbage, having a huge lead and padding the stats or trying to come from behind?
-
Greg Roman and Lynn were the only reason TT had as much success as he did, IMO.
I thought G Roman was used as a scapegoat and Lynn had Taylor going in the right direction toward seasons end.(IMO)
The lack of sufficient reps hurt the passing game so I'm not blaming Roman or Lynn for something Rex Ryan brought G Roman in to accomplish.
Rex/ D just didn't get the job done in my humble opinion.
Tyrod will not be handed starting Job
