I was on TT's bandwagon and got off too after the two blowouts. And I sure hope the Bills find a replacement. But I still remain in my stance: you don't cut him until you find a better man at the QB position! Period. And as of now, he's clearly #1. It's for the FO to find a replacement. Easy to cut anyone. Not easy to find talent, especially at that position! But yeah, Peterman deserves another look. Weird how he looked decent in his 2 in game action, and sucked as a starter!

I don't like Geno Smith. And benching Eli for him instead to test out a draft pick QB etc. is one of THE dumbest moves of late for sure. But give it to Rex to make you side with his target LOL He's really classless. But then, he's in media now, and not that good, so desperate to create some drama around him so he's worth something somehow...

No comparison between what Gronk did and what Landry did. Landry deserved to be taken out. As for Hughes IDK what he said, but he gets flagged for it, and easily in any case. Who doesn't remember his 15 yard penalty for playfully bashing his TEAMMATE. Refs are biased and that'. s not good. And what with the retarded rule that 2 penalties offset 1?

At least he was opened to players input at one time earlier in the year and the offense improved right away. He (they) should listen to their players more! And tailor the plays around Taylor(doh) and the players, instead of forcing them to fit a damn system.

Haaaa memory lane. That was fun and we all remember it. And it was fun seeing Chris and TJ as well. One of the best duo for sure.

I want the Bills to beat a Brady led Patriots team before Father Time does. And many times. But I do shake my head at the fans disregarding the 16-0 whooping the Bills gave the Patriots at THEIR stadium as not important! Sure Brady wasn't there but the Cheats were 3-0 and anyway, with all the Bills QB woes, I find it weird to not see that without Brady that team is suddenly down quite a few notches.

Yep underdogs, NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEFEATED as too many post. Case in point. It is quite possible the Bills beat the Pats at home. Odds in their favor? Nope, of course, but possible. And the last game might be a B or C Pats team as they rest starters. Anyway, I don't get the "we're already beat attitude". Am I fired up, can't wait for Sunday, think the Bills will win? Not all in fact. Those 3 blowouts have left quite a bad taste in my mouth. I only watched for the mid 3rd quarter on for the Chiefs game. And this coming Sunday determines if I sacrifice time for the rest of the year or not. And that's a first for me. Too much disappointment. But I'll watch Sunday, and if it's competitive, I'll be fiery again. The Bills ARE a wild card team as of now. 3 wins out 5 is still possible.

Sums it all for me. And while he would be the ultimate backup QB, salary cap matters. Besides that, I'm all in support of him. For all his obvious limitations, nobody has been better than him at QB for the Bills. Not only since he's been here, with what matters, but even for years before. I just don't get the desire to let him go if nobody at the position can replace him!

He is a pleasant surprise. His joyous personality and enthusiasm were expected, but he also analyses and explains real well. Is that too much to ask from ex-players? They hired way too many just for "entertainment value". I don't mind props and comedy, but substance still matters! He has it all.

I agree...with thread title as in "longterm". But as I've been vocal of saying, til they draft or trade for a better QB, what would be the logic of "moving on"?

There is no "the Bills way". Whole new GM, coaches, scouting department. Even 30 players are new ones to the roster. Only similarities are the media, the fans, etc. Sure the history and the Drought loom large, but every team has its sets of pressure to deal with. Some more than others but still. Us fans have been through the drought and are affected. The current team itself has nothing to relate to that more than they relate to the 4 straight AFC championships. And it would be stupid to let go of Taylor before you have anyone to replace him. Totally stupid. Let the fans vent. If you lose they'll get doing and ask for your head. If you win, most will come around.

Of course drafting in the 1st round improves your chances, and the sooner you pick the better. But there has been many 1st round QB busts, and there are exceptions like Brady, etc. My point remains the same: you don't let go of the best QB on your roster unless someone beats him to get the spot. Not BEFORE someone beats him to get the spot, as that may not happen for years! If dratfting franchise QB was easy, 25+ teams would have one.

Nicely put. It was an historically bad game, and he is a 5th round pick. So I'm far from convinced on anything. But yeah, people complain about not drafting QBs and after a half game want him gone WTH And to the "anti-Tyrod" crowd. Again all of us would want a better QB. But letting him go doesn't make the "franchise one" appear!!! I'm sure we all also hope for a better LB, a superb pass rusher, a dominant LT and on and on. Just sending someone packing doesn't cure it all!

I'm repeating myself but so are you LOL: Why would you want to get rid of the best QB on your roster??? Yes he's no "franchise quarterback" but unless the Bills sign one, and that could be next year as it could be 20 years later, I just don't see the point of losing him! You keep your best players based on results vs salary cap and other factors. Is he among the Top 10 in the league? Nope. But he's by far the best here in a long while. Right on target (no INT)

Aikman's offensive coordinator from 1991 to 1993 -- will tell you he's never seen a quarterback as accurate as this guy. I've read many times that accuracy is the best thing to look for in a QB, as strangely, even if working on throwing motions, footwork and all, it seems the guy has it or don't once in the NFL. And ouch at Alex Smith's debut! Not NP level but close!

Conspiracy or not, we all can agree Mills did indeed NOT block on that play.

All this discussion about tanking sure indicates the NFL should do like the NHL and have a form of "draft lottery". You're not supposed to be rewarded too much for losing!

Besides the Eagles, which of these teams are Superbowl favorites? They are on the way up.. compared to the ugly place they were. Is it in an improvement? Hell yeah! But a guarantee for being a constantly dominant team? Nope. And they tanked for a few seasons, not just one. And oh let's forget the Browns and other 0-16 teams of the last 10 years. All powerhouses for years to come now, right? My point is, as you still don't get it: tanking does NOT guarantee a return to greatness! And so far, it's your ONLY magical solution. Recall that Bill Bellichick hire and drafting Tom Brady with pick #199, a compensatory pick, in the sixth round? They needed to tank completely for that to happen?

All winning teams this year have tanked in the previous 5? Pats, KC, Steelers, etc. All the 0-1-2-3-4 win teams from 2012-2016 are powerhouses now in the NFL? Besides the Jaguars that have really improved, Raiders last year, you got the Browns, etc. The issue has been awful awful draft choices combined with obvious bad positional coaching. Anyway, with 5 wins already, a true "tanking" is not to be unless they really lose out all the rest of the year. And if that happens, how could any of the coaches remain? The GM and scout team could, but not the rest.

Oh you got me there Vet with your awesome logic. I'm sold. Let's go for a real losing season, finally! Well, since they won 5 already, let's tank next year!

To you it's tanking or else it's "doing the same thing over and over"? Peterman was more of the same? All the HC, OC, DC and GM changes is more of the same? Yeah let's follow the Browns. Tanking seems to be a sure thing to win!

Better than to be swimming with the sharks. In all your threads you seem to imply the Bills need to lose out so they can finally pick that "franchise QB" in the draft. With so many Top 5 busts, and the Bills most likely picking 10-15th even if they only win 1-2 more, how can be so sure the current brass will magically make all the right picks?

I mentioned that if they did sign a Cousins / Luck /Alex Smith then yeah, they can cut him. Otherwise you have 2 rookies as your #1 & 2, your future draft pick and Peterman. Really? Remember the "Tyrod is a bridge QB"? That is still the case... and as of now that bridge leads to nowhere so better stay on it!

Don't get wrong, I fully agree with this. But he is under contract. He's no free agent. If the Bills do keep him at much higher payscale, that IS a show of commitment for once. I'm sure TT can get a QB spot elsewhere, but maybe not at the amount he's due to make next year.
