He should have final say. But if Daboll comes in an says "I've evaluated the offensive line and Castillo sucks and has to go,. Plus every team he's worked with has done better when he left," I hope McDermott doesn't say, "Juan is a dear friend and I trust him. You need to make it work with him." That's like Rex level cronyism. I think he should be gone along with Culley but I am not holding out hope.

There are coaches, offensive minded coaches, who I think really get QB play. I don't think we have one of those coaches and Daboll is no QB guru. We can draft whoever and we can bring in whoever but it is my opinion that we have a coaching staff that will at best get lucky if it gets the passing game into the top 15 in the NFL. If we are lucky we get back into the top 15 in scoring and if it does happen it will be on the ground with rushing TDs. What tipped you off that I was offering up an opinion?

ghostwriter Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 Gotta let Daboll do his job. You hired him for a reason, if he wants his own QB, let him have his own QB, same goes for any coaching changes. I actually think Daboll will have more power than Frazier. Nobody else on our staff knows a rats ass about offense so Daboll is the man in charge by default. 1

People assume that anyone who doesn't want to run Tyrod out of town doesn't want to get better. I'm just here telling you that taking your grandma car shopping doesn't necessarily get you a better car.

If the Bills find a better option at any of them - they take it if the price is right. My personal opinion is the Bills believe Tyrod has reached his ceiling. He is what he is. There is no next level for him. The Bills know what they have with him, and they don't think he is their best option at the position. As a fan, I think they are right.

I'd sign Cousins if he'd sign here and the money worked. I am all for improving the QB position. I definately think we could do a lot worse than Taylor. I don't think the coaching staff here will know, in the case of a rookie, wether they have a better QB than Taylor or not. I don't think they will produce the passing game that every one here so desperately craves. I am not advocating keeping Taylor except to say I don't think the coaches are QB experts and I'm not sure anyone is going to get what they want. So what you are saying is move on from Tyrod but you doubt it gets better? I'm still struggling for your point.

Then TT proceeds with a quick jab to the nose. Shady then walks into the bar.......I'll stop now. If anything, TT would hold back from throwing the punch too long and end up on the ground.

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 evaluate leaves the door wide open, basically gives the impression they likely move on (thankfully) from taylor. had they said taylor, who has been the teams starter for the last three seasons, will remain our starting QB, then no question who will be starting in 2018. since they didn't say the latter, makes it pretty apparent they'll be going in a different direction.

I'm still struggling for your point. I'm saying any team is always trying to get better. Trying to bring in good QBs. The Packers had Favre and drafted Rogers. Niners had Smith and took Kaerpernick. I'm saying we try to get better. That doesn't mean we have to keep Taylor or get rid of him. You play who you feel is the best player you can put out there on the field. I am saying that, again in my opinion, the coaching staff here is not adept or proficient enough in the passing offense to either know which QB needs to be out there or create a top 15 passing attack. If you have your heart set on throwing the ball all over the place next year you may be disappointed. If they signed Cousins it might make everything easier dumping Taylor. Drafting a QB in the first round though, all bets are off.

Dr. Who Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 If thinking TT is an inadequate qb makes one a troll, most posters on this board are trolls. Such an overly broad definition begs the question and presumptively claims the opposite view is the only rational perspective that can be decently argued. 3

This is the part where all the trolls jump in and say easy, but it's not. If Tyrod is willing to halve his money again he will be here as the bridge next year. They were not for bringing him back at the kind of money he will make this year last year. They brought him back at $9m. As for how hard it is to bring in someone better.... I was told last year Case Keenum was a wilful downgrade. He wasn't and he isn't.
