Great Move.

 

TT Season: 9 games played: 163/254, 64% Completed for 1684 yards with 10TDs, 3 Ints.

 

This is NOT an NFL Starting caliber QB!!!

Expand  

it's about being able to run a pro style offense, reading defenses, making quick decisions, and getting the ball to the receivers.  Tyrod proved he couldn't do that consistently.  what those stats don't show is Tyrod hanging on to the ball for 5 seconds and then tucking and scrambling for absolutely no reason other than he can't read the defense and deliver the ball on time

I still forsee a loss, but now not a blowout.

 

And I forsee an offense that moves the ball for a change.

 

 

I hope that's sarcasm.

It was. I know you’ve wanted a change for awhile.  I did too but I question the timing and how much inch we are buying into a 5th round rookie scoring tds against 3rd stringers and guys out of the nfl.

I'm just happy to see someone who's not afraid to throw the ball.

 

BTW, I was pro-manuel to the end. I've never been pro-taylor.

Because Rob Johnson's performance vs. the Titans was so good?  People forget he was embarrassingly bad that game.

 

They started the year in tank mode, then made a trade to shore the offense and now in a must win game bench their qb based on one drive in garbage time.

 

This coaching staff & management is a joke.....

Cool, so you'll be checking out now?

 

[Billsfan1972]

I have no idea what this staff is doing.......  At 5-5 maybe, but throwing a rookie in with the playoffs still realistic is nonsensical.

 

Seems after 17 years fans are grasping at straws.

As I’ve been walking around smiling, I was thinking that I haven’t been this happy about a QB since Johnson got the start over Flutie.

Well that pretty much says it all......  Johnson singlehandedly screwed them vs. the Titans........  Please no "The Bills were leading when he left the field"......  He was putrid that game......

and Flutie was just as bad down the stretch, I think we score more than 20 points maybe once during the last 5 games? Then exploded for 30 plus over a Colts team with RJ as the starter that Flutie couldn't beat in Week 1.

Nice selective memory.  Flutie lost the first game of the year IN Indy. The entire team looked lethargic and Manning was lights out.  In contrast Robbie won in Buffalo, last game of the season, team was a well oiled machine, and Manning's shoulder was torched.  He played but was hardly 100%.

And Flutie bad down the stretch? WTF I could give two craps about his numbers, the W's were there.  He earned the playoff start.  Rob Johnson was and still is a punk.

I think both moves were best for the franchise, surprised they did this current one though.

Expand  

Benching Flutie was the dumbest move in franchise history. I'm not saying past is prelude, however.

Flutie Loses that game OUTRIGHT!!!

Well according to what he did that season, the facts say he was a winner.  According to what surfer boy did that season, the facts say he was a wannabe. In fact, Rob Johnson never did ANYTHING.  EVER.  You are obviously hooked on the Rob juice.

Well we all know how that turned out.  If they hadn't benched Flutie I have no doubt we could have lost our 5th Super Bowl.  Rams would have put an epic beat down on us.

Expand  

 

Lucky then that we missed that ... and have been missing all those playoff beat downs since then, too.

And it should not have come down to a screw job by the officials, Rob was crap that game.  My left testicle could have played better than him.

Selective memory is selective.

 

Flutie was ABYSMAL down the stretch. Not average. Not bad. ABYSMAL.
