Nick the Greek Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Good on him. I do wonder if he'll be welcomed or does no one care?as long as he doesn't resort to his old tricks.
Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Okay? The argument that MANY of us have made is that this is the best QB play that the Bills have gotten in this millennium. No one is saying that he is perfect. Certain people are searching for "the next" guy when there is a very, very good chance that we have him now. Instead of people trying to poke holes in a 1st year starter that has had success at every level (#3 QB recruit out of high school, conference player of the year in college and Pro Bowl QB in his 1st year as a starter), lets appreciate and develop what we have. This isn't some guy with raw physical tools with no production. He has produced at every level. Why do some people think that Connor Cook (as an example) is more likely to develop into a franchise QB than Tyrod Taylor? Based on what? Based on his play so far Tyrod is MORE likely to be a franchise QB than anyone entering the league in the near future. Now if he regresses over the next season maybe you start looking but at the moment that would make no sense. Edited January 26, 2016 by Kirby Jackson

Nor do I think Cook has a better chance of being the guy than Tyrod. You're projecting.

machine gun kelly Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 He wasn't a bully in 2010 with us, and has been fine this year. i still maintain that Martin had a problem emotionally, and although Incognito went over the top, he's been a stud for us. If he repeats the next two years, it was a great decision to take a waiver on him.
FireChan Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Do you think that the Bills should be searching for a starting QB now? Nope. I think you draft a guy to stash on the bench for a year or two just in case.
Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Nope. I think you draft a guy to stash on the bench for a year or two just in case. Which is what I think as well. Less of just in case and more because I think that there is only one viable option on the roster. I would not be looking prior to about the 5th round though. Someone like a Doughty, Prescott, Adams

fridge Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Awesome. I can't wait to hear the excuses now. We have a pro bowl QB. Yes, pro bowl voting isn't scientific, but if this doesn't show the only ones who don't love him are Bills fans who will never be happy, nothing will. Maybe some of us are older than 12 and don't give a crap about the pro bowl? I think it's great for Tyrod, and he should be super confident going into the preseason, but you'd have to be pretty clueless if you base your opinions of players on whether or not they make the pro bowl.
Doc Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 It's weird that they pay them different amount for a pickup game where they aren't playing full speed. It's more weird that they pay them so little and then wonder why so many players skip it. And that it's played before the SB, essentially removing 6-10 players who otherwise might have participated.
papazoid Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 change name to the Alternate Pro Bowl already about 20 first teamers NOT playing in it.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 To all Taylor haters, perhaps this signifies that those who know talent know Taylor. Is Sam Bradford gonna qb the nfc ? It is kind of funny that those 5 people have been pretty much disarmed. One of them just stopped coming here. : So we are all set at qb ? I'm not buying it yet. He pooped the bed a few times, everyone kinda forgets those games for some reason.
Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 So we are all set at qb ? I'm not buying it yet. He pooped the bed a few times, everyone kinda forgets those games for some reason. We are NOT in search of a starting QB. I would say that there is an 85% chance that Tyrod is the starter here for at least the next 3 seasons and 100% chance (if healthy) that he is starting next year. Are you more confident in the QB situation entering the 2015 season or the 2016 season?
TheFunPolice Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Tyrod had a pretty nice season, especially since it was his first as a starter and he wasn't named starter until late August. I think an entire offseason with him as "the man" will help this offense prepare and will help Tyrod take the next steps in 2016.
KD in CA Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 So we are all set at qb ? I'm not buying it yet. He pooped the bed a few times, everyone kinda forgets those games for some reason. Depends what 'all set' means. They're all set for opening day starter and they're not going to spend big coin on a FA. Only question for me is, do they look to draft a QB in rounds 2-5.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Honolulu over Mobile? Come on Rex! @viccarucci #Bills coach Rex Ryan has decided to skip the Senior Bowl to be w 3 of his players who have been chosen for the Pro Bowl.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Wood: Goal already set for O-line in 2016Bills Pro Bowl center Eric Wood, who was named to the Pro Bowl roster officially on Monday as a replacement for Carolina C Ryan Kalil, talked about the parts of the offense that he felt helped his case as a Pro Bowl caliber player this season. He also shared a team goal that the offensive line already has on the docket for 2016. Whaley: Incognito reclaimed his name Prior to signing with the Buffalo Bills, Richie Incognito was a former Pro Bowl guard who saw his contract terminated by his team (Miami) in the wake of a bullying scandal. Two years later, Incognito successfully reclaimed his status as a Pro Bowl caliber player and proved to be a model teammate and leader in Buffalo’s locker room. Bills GM Doug Whaley told Buffalobills.com that seeing Incognito headed back to the Pro Bowl speaks volumes about how far the veteran lineman has come.

He cites Taylor/Manuel in final year of deals and says "Absolutely." @pecrawleynfl Whaley did preface this by saying he thinks the QBs in this draft are projects who won't be ready for a year or two.

And that it's played before the SB, essentially removing 6-10 players who otherwise might have participated. Well, getting named All Pro is far more legit and comes with no money. Getting 30 or 60K for a two hand touch pickup game/picnic and a family vacation is pretty sweet for these guys. No one cares who's not there because of the SB. Lets other guys who wouldn't have made it take a nice trip. Edited January 26, 2016 by Mr. WEO
