Nope. Because there are teams with multiple players on their rosters that are better than Taylor. Just because there are 32 teams, doesn't mean that the best 32 are starting. For example, Minnesota has 3, Indy has 2, New England had 2 before trading 1. There are 7 guys between 3 teams better than Taylor. Then factor in the young guys coming in next April, the departure of Palmer, Cutler, etc... and Taylor sits in the mid-low 30s.

In his second year in the league and first year as a starter, has comparable numbers to Taylor in his 7th and 3rd. He's not miles better (yet), but will probably be in time. Next?

If there was an article written comparing the two QBs. There would be none, Bortles is much better. But that’s not the point. Please stop making yourselves look foolish. Actually the point of my response is while TT is bad...and he is....he wasn't the worst even in that game. Kornheiser is simply overstating something to get attention...which worked. Unless you started watching football this year and only watched Bills games you would realize there are many guys that have been worse passers. Yes, even than TT. I could probably list 20 off the top of my head...but then I'd have to explain to you who they even are. And I don't have time to explain things to idiots. 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 59 minutes ago, jmc12290 said: Yes, Taylor was better in 2015/2016. And he had his critics still. Those critics were told it was Roman/Lynn's and the WR's faults. Roman was shitcanned. Taylor got a new OC, one that was going to be way better for Taylor. Taylor got worse. His critics were told it was Rico's and the WR's faults Do you see a pattern here? The point of my post to which you're responding was that Roman's offensive scheme AND the way Taylor was being coached to execute it, were being downchecked by experts. I don't recall anyone saying that Dennison would be "way better for Taylor", but if you can give me some links, I'd be happy to revise my view. (I can find the Billick/Dilfer link if you like). Do you question that the WR corps was downgraded this year, or that the WR were thin last year when Sammy was out injured? Since I can't accept your premises as stated at present, I can't accept the sequitor (pattern). But let's be clear on what I'm responding to: I was skeptical (and a bit unhappy) at the choice of Dennison for OC, but willing to give the benefit of doubt through preseason that Taylor might take a step with him. I was also unhappy about changes in the WR corps. That doesn't mean I'm arguing for keeping Taylor as QB next year. Whether he winds up getting a shot elsewhere, is beyond my paygrade.

ndirish1978 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Our WR corps was pathetic this year. Consider this: Deonte Thompson was our leading receiver! He wasn't even not he team for the first five games! Thompson played 11 games with Buffalo in the regular season and had seven starts. Those are the most starts in his six-year career. In those 11 games, he had 27 receptions for 430 yards and one touchdown. He led all Bills wide receivers in yards and was tied for the lead in receptions. (per BB.com)

reddogblitz Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 5 hours ago, Steptide said: Here's my logic. Taylor has been pretty much the same qb over the last 3 years. 3 different offensive coordinators and pretty much the same stats every year. He is what he is. He's not going to get any better than what he is right now. He managed 3 points in playoff game. He himself isn't the reason we got to the playoffs. Our defense and turnovers won us games. He is not our future I can see this. I just hope our future is not worse without him. We could plan for the future and not start a rookie or 2nd level vet. It took us 17 years to get to this point. I don't want to chuck it in litter box on a possible maybe. Possible maybes have not worked out real well for us in the past. As far as the last 3 years. His production dropped off this year with a new staff and OC. Think that had anything to do with it? Shady's production was down 1.4 ypc as well. Things can always get worse. Be careful what you ask for. imho

College QBs always have better stats because most teams don't play defense in college and the opposition is smaller and slower then NFL defenders.
