YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 @RapSheet: With QB Tyrod Taylor starting for #Bills in Week 1, expect that either Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel will not be on Buffalos roster by then.
John Cocktosten Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I watched Tyrod quite a bit in college and the one thing he does is make plays. He's amazing when he gets out of the pocket and has a rocket arm. His accuracy wasn't great and he didn't read the field well but I'll chalk that up to how Beamer used him. Hopefully a few years behind Flacco and some great offensive coaching he's learned something. I really think he starts.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Google: Bills starting QB Crappy source citation: The Buffalo Bills will head into Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts with Tyrod Taylor under center, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday, according to a source informed of the team's thinking. FOX Sports' Jay Glazer first reported the news.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 @RapSheet: With QB Tyrod Taylor starting for #Bills in Week 1, expect that either Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel will not be on Buffalos roster by then. Bye bye Cassel CBF

Hmmm...cut the guy with a cannon arm or the one with a strand of cooked spaghetti? Tough choice. Edited August 31, 2015 by PromoTheRobot
aristocrat Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I think the team will wait a day so they can play the pr game and let have fred have his day. They def did the leak on purpose today to take peoples minds off fred.

Ok Rapoport, EJ Manuel may be gone after raining TDs in preseason...LOL National guys are truly dopes when it comes to the Buffalo Bills.
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 TT sure is exciting... But I am an EJ fan.... Wins will sway my opinion... Go Bills!!!!
PolishDave Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 So whose gonna catch Tyrods first TD pass? Clay? He'll catch his own. It will be a lofty ball and he'll just run and go get it - deep post. Then all the analysts will be saying "we knew he could play receiver too".
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Give Cassel a bus ticket outta town!!!

It had better not be an outright cut, given the QB situation around the league. Something should be coming back in return. And it had better be Cassel of the two, given that E.J. can run an offensive game plan a lot more like TT than Matt can... Edited August 31, 2015 by Lurker
Iraq Vet Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Again... has anyone but Glaser reported this? Every report says "according to Jay..."
nucci Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Ok Rapoport, EJ Manuel may be gone after raining TDs in preseason...LOL National guys are truly dopes when it comes to the Buffalo Bills. Local guys not much better
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I hear you, I felt that way too. However, the current NFL cap structure doesn't allow for it. It becomes a wooden leg to carry a third QB at 4-5 million. How so Thurmanator? Fredex cap hit was $2.5M per OTC, assuming roster and workout bonus already paid. Cassel $4.1M same assumptions. $1.6M extra cap hit by keeping Cassel and cutting FredEx kind of chump change, isn't it?
Iraq Vet Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 MC well be gone... Salary issue verses performance. Freddie gone... Salary issue verses performance. Expect one more like that..... Then Darius will now get his contract.
TSOL Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Bills sure are getting a TON of national attention. Our QB situation seems to be one of the main stories, behind only the Bob Griffen saga.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 As happy as this makes me, I won't believe it until Rex comes out and says it. Right now it's Glazer and Rap reporting on Glazer. Honestly I'm happy with how Tyrod did this preseason. What I heard at first was that he had a rocket arm and could run. The fact that we've watched him sit back in the pocket and go through progressions and hit on the high percentage throws makes me feel a hell of a lot better. And it's not Cassel. Thank God it ain't Cassel.
