MDH Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Tyrod as starter. Cassel as emergency backup. EJ as 3. I said it weeks ago. My preference is to start EJ or TT and have Cassel as the #2 on game days. However, if the starter is hurt the #3 should jump into the starter role. I'm still on board with this.

jeffismagic Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Start Tyrod with EJ next up. Cassel is a good veteran presence so keep him for now as a backup.

I would feel more confident with EJ or TT coming into a game and taking up where the other left off than I would be with Cassel. The gameplan would be more suited for them over Cassel also.

With an entire week of preparation I trust both TT and EJ much more than Cassel though.
YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Not sure what to make of this but I will indeed take credit for big plays... @RQUINN619: EJ's YOLO ball is fun, but have to get ball out quickly & accurately in short areas. 2 things he hasn't been able to do.
BmarvB Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 It's really not as bad as it's being made out to be. They're doing just fine with the depleted weapons they have to work with. I think the Bills can get to the playoffs with either of the 3. They don't have to be superstars, just be consistent, efficient, and mistake free. So far, EJ is the only one with a TD pass in each game he's played in the preseason, Taylor brings excitement, and Cassel brings the needed veteran experience. Best case scenario is still EJ winning the week 1 starting job as the long term answer at the position for years to come. 2nd best case is Taylor. Cassel is not the long term answer. He should be the veteran backup and insurance if EJ or TT falters, but from a win now standpoint, he'll serve the purpose.
MTBill Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Biggest problem I see (pessimist speaking) - I think Tyrod or EJ gets the starting nod. Either one has a bad game, hell a bad half... the whispers start. That is the real problem of not just picking one of them and moving forward.
YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 @SalSports: EJ to Clay came right at me. EJ did a perfect job of looking off safety. He's come a long way last 2.5 weeks. Great for him.
metzelaars_lives Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 You guys realize this thing is a done deal, right?
LB3 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I officially don't trust the coaching staff if Cassel is chosen as the starter. Edited August 29, 2015 by LBSeeBallLBGetBall
metzelaars_lives Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Rex said that by the time he named the starter it would be plainly obvious to everyone who that man is. I didn't believe him at the time but he turned out to be right.
YoloinOhio Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 @mikerodak: Tyrod Taylor: 12-for-13, 122 yards, 105.8 QB rating, 20-yard TD run. I officially don't trust the coaching staff if Cassel is chosen as the starter.racism would be the only explanation
Luxy312 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Tyrod has cemented himself as the starter for me.
metzelaars_lives Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I officially don't trust the coaching staff if Cassel is chosen as the starter. I am happy to share now that the decision was made that Taylor was the starter before this game. I think Rex makes the announcement sooner than later because I think the whole league knows right about now and there's no point in trying to deceive anyone anymore.

I've maintained the following the entire time. #ABC
