Tyrod Wants to Stay with the Bills, but Won't Take Another Pay Cut

Taylor. It's intellectually dishonest to claim Cassel. 

 

So Taylor took the first snap of the game at QB?  

 

Taylor 100% started that game just as WR. 

 

Those are the facts

You are being very disingenuous here. also, why do you even care anyway given how silly the argument that Cassell "started" (much less deserves credit for the victory) is? Do you dislike Taylor that much?

 

Dog is certainly right about intellectual dishonesty too.

Yep. The intellectually dishonest facts. Although I'm not inferring you are intellectual, just dishonest.

Missing the point.  The point is SBF specifying "half dozen" expect TT to be here is off by an order of mag.

 

Not whether or not more people want him to be, or expect him to be - that's clear

 

uh, okay

I have not been talking bad about Taylor at all in a long time. But the facts remain. 

 

Cassel took the 1st snap of the game at QB. Taylor at WR. 

 

So for that game Taylor was the starting WR and Cassel the starting QB. 

 

Those are the facts

Ok put it this way. All three QBs had a Million dollar bonus tied to who opens the season as the Starter. (First snap of the season) who gets that Bonus 

 

Taylor or Cassel

Who cares?? Which qb contributed zero to the victory and which qb contributed everything??????????

 

one qb played one play and handed it off for a six yard loss. The other qb made every pass in the game and had a passer rating of 120 or something (over 10 yards per pass and 73 percent completion rate).

 

Who contributed to the victory and who didn't? Who therefore deserves credit for the victory? Answer me that before saying anything else. (Also, bear in mind that I don't even like qb win-loss stats. That said, they're the world we live in, and if he is going to be judged on them, he should get credit where credit is due.)

Well the win goes to the starter. That is the stat and the flaw for using a Team stat to defend a QB. 

 

So we agree if there was a bonus tied to opening day Starter it would go to Cassel. Thanks all i needed now back to watching for the real conversation on where TT goes in the offseason like i was having if he doesnt take a paycut

I know this one. If the team was stupid enough to give it to Cassel, which they wouldn't be, Cassel would give the million to Taylor.

It's comical for anyone to defend the idea that Cassel was the starter. Cassel wouldn't say that, unless in a joke.

I have no idea if there was a bonus and frankly don't care because it's utterly irrelevant to the conversation, the subject of which is rightful credit. You're trying to change the subject, and it feels to me like the worst sort of technicality-based lawyering.

Nope i am not. Some want to add a team stat win number to the official stats to make their agenda point stronger. 

 

The reality is you have a 22-20 (though as you said about the bonus I frankly dont care. Lazy point to defend a QB that way) QB that some are trying to skew by adding another win. 

 

In that case should add the LA Loss to him seeing he contributed just as much to that loss as Peterman did

The second half was 17-17 during the entire time Tyrod played. Peterman's Half was 37-7. So you're wrong on this again. 

 

Those, as you say, are the facts.

Nope want to add a phantom win (who started the game) then I add a phantom loss. 

 

If we want to manipulate stats then cool i will play that game 

 

so keep trying

How do you conclude a player contributed equally to a loss when his team scored exactly as many points as his opposition? Alternative stats?

This post makes no logical sense. Really.

 

I am out; I feel like I am losing brain cells at this point by engaging in such a silly debate. I also feel like I'm dealing with a 22-20 truther.

Once again last comment. Here is the NFL official Definition and i am done playing manipulation games. 

 

What is Starter?

A player in football who begins any given game or season as the first to play to a specific position on a team.

 

So TT is a 22-20 QB. 

 

Yes those are real facts IAW the NFL

No he didn't. Taylor did. They simply ran a trick play at the outset with Taylor out wide. It was designed to fool the Colts' defense who knew Taylor was the starter. Cassell didn't play another down. It wasn't even as if Taylor was on the sideline for that play.

That kind of technicality, and letter of the law versus spirit of the law stance is obnoxious as hell. 

 

 

Meaning I agree with you 100%.

I hear you.  But here's the thing Dave McBride said.

23-20, not 22-20. Someone has to alert the official stat keepers about this. Cassell was NOT the starter that game and should not get the win. Play one was a freaking trick play, for chrissake.

The official stat keepers have to have rules.  They don't interpret the stats, they just record them.  Cassell started that game.

 

If someone says that Taylor doesn't deserve credit for the win because he didn't start, they are being disingenuous.  But to call into question the stat keepers is to subject the entire process of stat collection to subjective interpretation rather than objective and factual evidence.  Cassell started that game at QB.  That's a fact.

According to that definition Cassel was the starter the entire season. Your an idiot.

Can't wait until this scrub is someone else's problem..

 

How is he a problem here?  I dont get this kind of venom.  He works harder than anyone on the team, didn't complain with his benching, always a leader and good team mate and led the Bills to snap the 17 year streak.  Not to mention he is tough as nails man, he stands in there and takes big shot after big shot and gets back up.  For a running QB, he isn't afraid to take a hit to try and get the ball out.

 

He has done a LOT for the Bills despite 2 years of terrible coaching and a terrible D, terrible weapons due to injuries, FA, and trades almost the whole 3 years, a terrible pass blocking OL, 3 different OCs in 3 years and 2 HC changes, and a fan base that doesn't appreciate what he does do right on the field and only focuses on how he isn't a prolific passer.  

 

I get people wanting to try something different at QB, but the amount of hate he gets here is just crazy.  He is no where near as bad as people make him out to be, and has done what no one since Kelly has done despite a SIGNIFICANT amount of things working against him.  Is he the answer moving forward, doesn't look like it, but to call him a problem is unnecessary.  

 

It can get a LOT worse than TT.  I dont blame him for not wanting to take a pay cut, he already did it.

Taylor was the announced starter of the game. They ran a trick play. It's probably the only game in NFL history where a qb in Cassell's position got a phantom victory. It's not as if this is a regular occurrence. It is, quite literally, unique and should be treated as such and dealt with accordingly.

According to NFL definition 

 

he started the 2015 season yep. 

 

And he started that first game. Yep. 

 

So again TT by definition is 22-20 as a starter 

 

those are the facts IAW the NFL
