Can you win some games with him...maybe a playoff game? Sure, but to be a true superbowl contender, you need better. I'll take any new guys because I know what I have now is not good enough. You might be too generous with your evaluation of Taylor. If there was *ever* a playoff game that you “could win with Taylor”, today was it. Defense (and Blake Bortles) held the opposition to 10 points. Are we down to: “IF you make the playoffs AND IF the defense gets a shutout THEN you could win a game 3-0”? 1

That play was EXACTLY why you have a player like Benjamin. The penalty call was correct, but a lot of times players get away with that. Push-off. If it was just incomplete with no penalty, no problem. You can’t not run that play for fear of offensivePI call.
maryland-bills-fan Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 40 minutes ago, billsfan89 said: My original premise was that the Bills should spend a high draft choice on a QB, maybe even trade up to get one. But then they should keep Tyrod for one more year in order to not have to start a rookie on a team that might not be ready or in a bad situation. Tyrod can be a placeholder QB for one more season, are the free agent QB's that you can get cheaper any better? No not really, are the QB's you would be trading for any better (At best a marginal upgrade like Alex Smith) I don't think it's worth it. Draft a QB early and have Tyrod be the guy they have to beat out for the job. I agree up to a point. Out of the 4-8 veteran QB's that are available, there might be 2-3 who are pretty good. We know TT has reached his ceiling. Why not roll the dice on a young QB who might develop into a good player, while the rookie QB gets some pro experience?
billsfan89 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 20 minutes ago, leonbus23 said: I disagree. Smith is a lot better. Tyrod's numbers are deceiving. Smith is smarter. More like a QB. Not necessarily a savior or anything. I don't see how Tyrod's numbers are deceiving but setting that aside the key criticisms Chief's fans have had against Smith sound very similar to what we say about Tyrod (Too conservative, Too many check downs, takes incompletions or short runs on third and long, is unable to take advantage of dynamic offensive weapons, and on and on.) Smith also plays under a much better offensive coach, in a stable offensive system, and in recent years with better offensive talent. If you drop him into this team (And spend a 2nd round pick to do so) I can't see the results being much better.

Didn't need to run it on first and probably not on second. That's what I'm talking about

I don't get the appeal of him. OBD cannot and will not "trot TT out on the field" opening game of the 2018 season. They just can't. My 85 year old mother knows TT cannot bring the Bills to a victory down in the 4th quarter. 1
JimBob2232 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 The problem with Tyrod is that he is not bad enough to be thrown away. He isnt very good, but he isnt very bad. In some respects he is the perfect QB for the middling bills. I agree we need to move on, but be careful what you wish for. It might just be worse. 1

One is Eli Manning the other is Kirk Cousins. I don't think the Giants are getting rid of Eli just yet and I think Kirk Cousins is going to cost you 30 million in cap space and you might end up with a Joe Flacco situation where a QB takes up so much of your cap that it limits your roster overall and while the QB might be good he doesn't elevate the play of the offense enough to justify such a cap hit. Alex Smith I would consider a slight upgrade over Taylor but not one I would trade a 2nd round pick for and give up 4.5 million in additional cap space for. I would rather the Bills trade up for a QB in the draft and force that QB to beat out Tyrod. If Tyrod sucks so much then that QB won't have an issue winning that battle.

That being said, if Bills fans want to see Tyrod cut, than take Peterman along with him. The guy is a joke..... we would have been more competitive than a 3 point total had peterman played the entire game 1

When Sammy was here a lot of people felt like Tyrod didn't take advantage of him enough. How dynamic he was/is is up for debate but fan complaints aren't always accurate. I would also say that a lot of people felt that Clay was a weapon on the offense that was not taken advantage of enough up until this season when it became obvious he was hurt a lot. I would also add that Benjamin is a player that people felt like Tyrod wasn't taking advantage of enough until it became obvious he was hurt. Edited January 7, 2018 by billsfan89

You look at what they've done throughout their career, and especially this season with this coaching staff. And that brings us to the same conclusion - he's not good & we need to move on.

Alex Smith would be an upgrade and a bridge for a younger prospect.
Teddy KGB Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Scott law and Transplant stop by to blame Dennison for sitting on a lead yet ? Cant score points when losing. How they gonna score points when ahead ??♂️

I think Smith is way more than a "slight" upgrade over Taylor, and moreso than Eli by far. Kirk Cousins definitely is, but nobody is really questioning that. Not sure how good a fit he is for the team, but he's better than TT hands down.
StevieJohnsonGOAT Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 That was one of the worst QB performances I've ever seen in the playoffs. Tyrod should be ashamed of himself. Thank god he's gone next year 1
billsfan714 Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 1 hour ago, billsfan89 said: I honestly think that you can only move on from Tyrod if it is a substantial upgrade or a rookie with promise. A slight upgrade or lateral move like Alex Smith would not work, why give up assets and cap space to be marginally better at QB? Even if they draft a rookie I would still want Tyrod on the roster. Peterman is ass and they shouldn't force a rookie into action if that rookie can't beat out Tyrod. If a rookie can't beat out Tyrod let Tyrod hang in there for one more year and slowly build up the talent on the team around a young promising QB who can learn a system and get use to being a pro for awhile. I willing to take a one year step back at QB for the long term development of real modern competent offense. The D did all they could this year. they were let down by the O.
