SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Right now it looks to me as if Tyrod is starting. He practiced today. He will practice tomorrow when they put the game plan in. I imagine that the Bills will keep it as close to the vest as they can to mess with the Jets the ever so slight advantage that would give.Limited practice is what I heard. The press was asked to leave when he took the field. It a tree falls and no one is there too see it. Hes begun the Return-to-Participation process. The league guidelines state that a player may be considered to return to practice only after the player has returned to baseline status with rest and exertion, has repeat neurophysiological testing, which is interpreted by the team neuropsychology consultant as back to baseline levels of functioning, and has completed the return to participation protocol. He also must be cleared by the team physician and the independent neurological consultant. When he is cleared we will hear about it. Edited September 4, 2017 by ShadyBillsFan
reddogblitz Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 My gut after listening to McD. Taylor never sees the field in a Bills uniform again (pending a Peterman Injury) What exactly did they say to make you think that? Preferably a quote. Everything I hear them say is Hotrod's the man.
OhDozeBills Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Who is the better QB right now based on this offseason? Don't know, I guess I'm wondering if you were at training camp, practices, etc? Pre-season games mean next to nothing. How many times have you seen a guy have a great pre-season and completely invisible once the regular season starts. When TT was in pre-season, they called plays for him to get work on where he is weak, 3 step drop, throwing from the pocket. When regular season starts, they will be calling completely different plays to suit his strengths like rollouts, boots, etc.

RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 17 years teaches you a few things. One of them is...anytime your team can't even get in the end zone in preseason and says "oh it's just vanilla". That's one of those "signs." Just ask your old buddy Turk Schonert There there is a reason for that old saying those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it And Really admitting that you're quarterbacks weakness is throwing from the pocket and then wondering if he is the best quarterback on the team??? My goodness.
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Tyrod Taylor and our offense was not the problem last year. The only valid reason for those wishing Peterman to start is they want us to tank and it's the only way to see if we have anything in Peterman before drafting a 1st round QB next year. I recognize that Taylor will never be a QB who wins you the SB but he will get you to the playoffs with a good defense. So what should be the goal then? Playoffs with help and good defense or SB? Only when playing against players that arent starters. Put Peterman behind this line against starters and you will see a atruggle guaranteed. The kid needs time to develop, you need to drop the anecdotal hyperbole, and the Bills will be fine. If you think that was Dennison's offense hopefully you dont pruse your junk email folder and see those emails trying to give you money but need your account info... So just blowing off his play against the starters in third preseason game i guess.
NoSaint Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 What exactly did they say to make you think that? Preferably a quote. Everything I hear them say is Hotrod's the man. Bobby, while sometimes insightful, also sometimes becomes drunk on his own ideas. Belligerent drunk. There's nothing out there to indicate he's done. Though he's unlikely to be the long term guy, and with that brings some kind of wild card factor in the situation, there's nothing indicating he would never take another snap.
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 What exactly did they say to make you think that? Preferably a quote. Everything I hear them say is Hotrod's the man. Petermans ready for an expanded offense. Then add the Compensatory pick comment Then add the short terms gains hurt long term success comment Tea leaves brother tea leaves Don't know, I guess I'm wondering if you were at training camp, practices, etc?

And yes he struggled at practices as well. Bobby, while sometimes insightful, also sometimes becomes drunk on his own ideas. Belligerent drunk. There's nothing out there to indicate he's done.

I could 100 percent be wrong (likey might be) but trying to read the comments in terms of tea leaves. And what would be best for the Bills long term and that would be this season being an evaluation season for Peterman going into a draft loaded at the position
Bill_with_it Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 So what should be the goal then? Playoffs with help and good defense or SB? So just blowing off his play against the starters in third preseason game i guess. 2 for 7 on third down and many if not all of those non conversions were before the starters were removed. He finished 11-23 passing for 93 yards and a passer rating of 58.8. Just oozes hof...

Let Tyrod start and if he flakes out you can still make the move. No harm in seeing if he steps up first though.
Pbomb Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Then why waste valuable practice time on something your going to shtcan once the season starts? (not being argumentative, it's a real question)ya,we cant run rollouts and boots every play
John from Riverside Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 And the concepts though are shown And that tweet means nothing because what they dont know is did TT walk right back off after Media left. oh come on Bobby
Paup 1995MVP Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 All those thinking Peterman is ready to start an NFL regular season game or is better right now than a healthy Tyrod should be required by law to go into the concussion protocol. You usually have more astute opinions then this Kelly. What does Peterman need to be "ready" to start an NFL game? Tyrod was terrible before the concussion this preseason. He does not throw in rhythm with his receivers. Did you not watch Peterman in the preseason? Looks pretty poised for a rookie regardless of what round he was drafted in. He easily outplayed Taylor in the preseason. Why shouldn't he get the start then?

Looks pretty poised for a rookie regardless of what round he was drafted in. He easily outplayed Taylor in the preseason. Why shouldn't he get the start then? I watched every play. He did a few things very good. But he wasnt even very good in preseason. At all. He didn't do well against a rush. He didnt get the ball down field at all. He threw a bunch of very nice balls and a bunch of crappy ones. He didn't go through progressions often. He didn't put up points. He didn't show adequate arm strength which was reason he went in fifth. I liked what I saw a lot. He had two INTs dropped. But he didn't in any way show he was ready. He showed that he is good at making quick decisions with a quick release and pretty good accuracy on passes 15 yards and under. That's it.
TigerJ Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 No way he starts if he doesn't start practicing by Tuesday or Wednesday - but the team site is implying he may already be cleared for practice while still in the protocol. My understanding is that in the last stage of the protocol, players do practice, and then are evaluated for symptoms afterward. This is after the stage in which they can participate in non-contact activities like team meetings. Tyrod has shown no symptoms through the first 4 stages. If the evaluation after today's practice is good then he's full go through the rest of the week and the game.
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 2 for 7 on third down and many if not all of those non conversions were before the starters were removed. He finished 11-23 passing for 93 yards and a passer rating of 58.8. Just oozes hof... Where have i crowned anything with Peterman. Please show me where. I really would love to see that. Fact is he is a better QB throwing than TT. Is a Rookie and before going into a loaded QB draft should see what you have out of him. Sorry you just cant accept that and think this is a playoff team.
BobChalmers Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Now if Peterman starts that will say something. But, my guess is TT starts if practicing today. Now it appears both QBs are cleared whats going to happen with Webb? I have a feeling more changes to come, Both QBs are cleared for practice - NOT to play

We are just reading your tea leaves, bob. You don't have to say anything remotely close to our argument for us to assert what you really mean!
MAJBobby Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 There's really no rush though. Let Tyrod start and if he flakes out you can still make the move. No harm in seeing if he steps up first though. Is he or is he not part of the long term solution. At 18M cap hit easy no. So why even play him what does he offer? Is he going to improve finally in year 3 as a starter and 8 years in the league Anticipation and pocket throwing?
