Anyone care to summarize for those of us who can't listen?

he seems to feel the QB position is wide open. Talked about what he learned from sitting behind Joe Flacco. Explained why he chose Buffalo - family atmosphere, coaching staff and chance to play.

Anyone care to summarize for those of us who can't listen?

 

- Coaching Staff and Ownership has a family feeling

- Reps split evenly and everyone is just trying to show what they can do

- Baltimore used multiple fields to squeeze out more reps as well

- Says he learned a lot from Flacco and his approach to the game and running the team

- He's a QB that can run, not a running QB; Will do whatever it takes to move the chains

I posted this a few weeks ago but I was at a birthday & member of the Bills was there & he said Rex loves Taylor. Said he wouldn't be surprised at all if he is the opening day starter. Everybody assumes it is going to be Cassel but I just think that they want a mobile QB for some of the stuff they want to do.

All you have to do is listen to the clues Rex gives, but the media is too into their own narrative to hear.

Sal Capaccio said this morning that he gives Cassell the best chance (can't remember exact %), EJ 20% and TT the remainder (so less than 20). But then said that whenever he is at OBD and listening to what people are saying, his % for TT rises slightly higher.

Pete Schrager who is the Sr. NFL analyst for Fox Sports predicted TT would start and said that he has been all of the buzz out of Bills camp. He is the same guy that predicted the Cowboys to win 10 games last year when most had them at 6 or less.

They said it on the clip that I saw. They said something like, "you are always right when it comes to this kind of stuff. You even predicted the Cowboys to win 10 games last year."

I heard that as well, I think he gave Cassell 60%, but he did state "at this point and time in OTA's". he also said, all everyone on the Bills staff is talking about is TT....

this is why I'm not surprised or disappointed that they didn't reach for a developmental QB in the draft. Anyone they could have taken wouldn't challenge for the job this year, they knew that, so they signed someone who could. Edited by YoloinOhio

I agree. It's kind of like you're remodeling your bathroom, refinishing your wood furniture, and painting a room in your house on top of working a full time job...you just don't have time for another project...

The Bills "drafted" a QB when they signed TT. Who has better odds of making it? A mid-round draft pick or a 4 year backup behind an established starter? Edited by PromoTheRobot

I really don't care about everyone's %. I just want them to play and show it. Personally, I just don't want Cassel to start. I know what he is and worst case scenario, you can go back to him. Personally, I think EJ is the best mix of the two and think he can do great under Roman. But all this talk is meaningless.

 

But please don't start Cassel. :)

At this point I am starting to think that TT may be the guy. I would say that Cassel is certainly the favorite right now in that he has the highest floor. He is probably locked in as at least the number 2 for the same reason. If forced to play for 4 weeks they will probably go with the guy that is the safest. I said it before I think that TT & EJ are battling for the right to be the guy that challenges Cassel. If they are on a level playing field I would think that they would go with the young guy.

We should probably throw Jeff "so, you're saying there's a chance" Tuel (0.00001%) in the conversation before some people get upset.... :rolleyes:
