Pete you forgot about Denver.The sheriffs arm and neck are done.He is going to look like Marino when he played his last playoff game against the jaguars.I believe Dan threw 7 interceptions that game.

We haven't made the playoffs for 15 years. Until the Bills do something, there isn't going to be any optimism about the team coming from much of anywhere, but One Bills Drive and us, the fans. It seems to be chic with the press to be down on the Bills. They figure the odds are on their side to be negative.

I like how the author at the end of the video says that Rex didn't pay the QB position attention when he was with the Jets. They drafted Mark Sanchez 5th overall and spent years developing him, they then spent a second rounder on a QB some thought was the best in that weak draft class in Geno. In year one with the Bills Rex didn't have a first rounder and no QB worth anything hits free agency. They brought in both Tyrod and traded for Cassell both options to EJ.

 

Considering what was out there in the trade and free agency market it wasn't a complete ingnore of the QB position. Maybe had the Bills had pick 19 they could have traded for Foles but without that pick what were their legit options?

Time will tell.........but he's looked anything but terrible in the preseason.

 

I understand that teams have been playing "vanilla" defenses........but the thing about ultra-mobile QB's is that they often make you play vanilla defense.

Reporters love to point that out that teams "ignore" the QB position but can't tel you who they should have gotten. If they know then they are wasting time writing about football.

Tyrod's senior year he completed 60% for 2,743 yards and 24 TD's and only 5 pics. That doesn't seem "terrible".

Excited about what he's done during preseason, but 60% is unremarkable at best in college.

"We haven't figured out what to do with Tyrod Taylor yet. Most "career backups who win starting jobs for desperate teams" are creaky thirtysomethings. Similarly, most "mobile young scramblers" haven't spent several seasons on the bench for a Super Bowl winner/contender. Throw in Taylor's late rise to the starting lineup and the size of the Buffalo market, and the easiest way to spin a storyline around Taylor, at least for now, is to ignore him and make fun of Rex Ryan instead."

 

Tyrod comes from a better place than most rookie college QBs (Groomed 4 years as a backup on a good team.) But somehow football media types can't compute that concept.

It's the limited number of comparables. They're like realtors--they don't how to value a guy like TT since there've been so few QBs that have taken the same route...
