Kelly the Dog Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Whaley is going to get the "figurative" dildo Monday and he brought it on himself. He's right where Donahoe was going into Mularkey's second season.......no more excuses permitted. If this team doesn't make the playoffs next year there will be a Whaley mutiny in the small but angry fanbase. Ralph really didn't want to fire Donahoe but he had no choice. It will be the same next year with Doug if he doesn't get results. This isn't time for a complete roster sweep so I think Lynn and Whaley get one shot.........sans Tyrod that gets a lot harder, IMO. I agree with all of that. Which is why I think TT is back. Whaley rightfully has a short window to right this ship. He knows that. He's not going to put his career on the line with Cardale or a rookie.
bobobonators Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 This is a two-way street. The Bills dont have a HC yet. Candidates are going to interview and ask the Bills questions as much as the Bills will ask them questions. And when a candidate asks who the Bills will be trotting out at QB in 2017 and we say Glennon, Cardale, or EJ, good luck with that.
Dr.Sack Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 I think Tyrod is right to avoid the media jerk offs that salivate with every mispeak particularly Bucky & Jerry. As for the Capaccio's and Buscgalia's and other Italians who attempt to do an honest job, I think it is wrong to avoid their questions.
Best Player Available Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Before you cut what you have, tell me who's going to replace him? A rook? Cardale? Please not Mr. Brittle Romo. Give me a better immediate option than TT that is available and affordable? There is nobody. Unless the Saints clean house. And that isn't happening.
ganesh Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Man, I sure hope you're wrong. This would likely be the most regrettable QB move since Rob Johnson. It all depends on who is going to be the HC and their take on TT. Until we get a better QB, why would I want to give up on Tyrod....It does not make sense to me.
Buffaloed in Pa Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Trade him to denver for Paxton Lynch even up. They wanted him last year. Work something contract wise for it to work.
PolishDave Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Trade him to denver for Paxton Lynch even up. They wanted him last year. Work something contract wise for it to work. If Lynch was that good, wouldn't he already be starting instead of Siemian? And if Lynch isn't already an obvious choice over that guy, why would you want to make him the starter here?

He`s young.Needs work, I myself are not a fan of a run and gun ,Short, average arm strength QB. Not too many of these Type win super bowls. I `ll take the tall pocket passer all day long.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Tyrod has handled this type of thing with much less class than EJ ever did. Not sure that means anything, but I do think EJ is a better natural leader. Tyrod is more of a lead by example type, which is hard to do when the team is ranked 30 in passing. Nice story bro! Bills players have to a man, way more respect for the leadership of Tyrod. The class thing is laughable, he doesn't meet with the media and you buy into the narrative of the media.

Even if the tall pocket passer isn't as good as the other guy at playing QB and helping the offense score points? Doesn't make sense to me. But I think there are a lot of people who would agree with your decision.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 True story, bro. Your hatred of Taylor is immeasurable.

I don't know about their respective leaderships, but I agree with the first part of your statement completely.

The class thing is laughable, he doesn't meet with the media and you buy into the narrative of the media. I don't get what is not classy about Tyrod? He politely declines (and yes the report even said politely) to talk to reporters after he is benched because of a business decision by the front office. Nothing he says in a interview can do anybody any good whatsoever. All it could possibly do is get people pissed off and ruin relationships. 100% risk 0% reward. So he politely declines. And yet people want to try to turn it into something it is not. Love it.
MAJBobby Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Perspective. We are basically 8-8 with EJ, Orton, and Tyrod. Are we really making it worse, or do we have a more exciting (scrambling/mobile) version of mediocre? This
Gugny Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Your hatred of Taylor is immeasurable. I don't hate Tyrod. I don't even know him.
Maury Ballstein Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Tyrod fans going in ! People would really stop watching over not retaining the qb who can't pass ? What the ?? Get him and his agent out of NY asap. Someone else can disappear in big games for fraction of the price. He had his shot and failed. Even w a 24-9 lead. Bye bye
dave mcbride Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Just to clear something up because it gets repeated over and over: the Bills do not have the worst passing attack in the league, and it's not even close. They are middle of the pack in categories that matter (e.g., yards per pass play) and high up in the TO percentage hierarchy. Passing yards per game is useless and people who rely on it are missing the forest for the trees. Edited December 31, 2016 by dave mcbride
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 I never hear the Tyrod haters offer a solution for replacing him. It's just a rookie or somebody else....... at best. Usually it is just get rid of him. If you want him replaced, a rookie is not going to improve on the number 7 scoring offense. And, that somebody else? Romo? expensive and will cost draft picks, and is brittle and old. Hoyer? Kapernick? Who? If this team had been competently coached we'd be in the playoffs. Andy Reid would have had this team in the playoffs. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. I don't get what is not classy about Tyrod? He politely declines (and yes the report even said politely) to talk to reporters after he is benched because of a business decision by the front office. Nothing he says in a interview can do anybody any good whatsoever. All it could possibly do is get people pissed off and ruin relationships. 100% risk 0% reward. So he politely declines. And yet people want to try to turn it into something it is not. Love it. He is very classy and has conducted himself as a gentleman and leader since day 1. This stuff is just revisionist history.

Unless some passing yards beats the Ravens, holds off the Raiders, makes an appearance vs the Steelers or Pats second game. So many excuses for the qb that can't qb. Get him out of Buffalo asap, for the CoT excuses alone.
