Here is the complete least of announcer pairings: Jim Nantz, Tony Romo and Tracy Wolfson Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn Greg Gumbel, Trent Green and Jamie Erdahl Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon Andrew Catalon and James Lofton Spero Dedes and Adam Archuleta Tom McCarthy and Steve Tasker and Steve Beuerlein Beth Mowins and Jay Feely With the exception of Harlan, there's really no difference from #3 to #8. Also, god bless Ian Eagle for having to carry Fouts and Washburn every season.
CommonCents Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Tasker has been around OBD for too long. Skip the one foot in one foot out approach and go at it like you know what your doing.
SoTier Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 If the Bills signed McKown for $10 million, they would be paying $18.6 million in cap space for a starting QB not nearly as good as Taylor. That sounds like a plan because we all know that it's not possible for Taylor to play better in a new offense after one bad season in a lousy situation while McKown is surely going to be better than Taylor based on putting up numbers not all that dissimilar to Taylor's 2017 numbers.

Tatonka68 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 The Bills would be better off signing EJ Manuel back. LOL

Certainly not one of the best but he does ok. I used to think he purposefully tried to make it look like he was impartial by talking up whatever team the Bills were playing. On the John Murphy show - he is hands down better than Donald Jones. He makes the show sound more professional. His insight is good too - I think you are underestiming #89 here. As far as his idea - you can easily make an argument for or against it. I give him credit for approaching the situation differently than others He is terrible as an analyst

It was on full display at the Super Bowl - I loved how he was beside himself that Pederson took chances on 4th down. Hell I'd take Tasker over Collinsworth any day of the week. I watched the Super Bowl mostly on mute. He is god awful.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I don’t love Steve Tasker as a commentator and I don’t hate Donald Jones. Guess that’s an odd view.

Definitely has a different insight, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. It's not just the same old talking points. I don't think he's near as bad as you make him out to be. There are plenty out there that are MUCH worse. Maybe it's because I like him as a person and I'm a bit biased... but I've never had that "Oh my GOD will you just SHUT UP!!!" moment like I have with so many of the other "analysts".

Wo-Bah Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 Did I read that correctly?? Pay McCown 10 million per year? Who, on God's green Earth, even would remotely think about that?! Sorry, but in my opinion, that's terrible. BTW, Tasker is brutal to listen to, for my 2 cents.
BBills88 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 I agree that I would like to see more Peterman. Before his concussion in the Snow game he was playing pretty good. I don't why that is being dismissed.
Overdue Bill Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 11 hours ago, BuffaloRush said: What constitutes a "good prospect?" Are you talking trading up for one of the big 4 or 5? Or taking a second-tier QB in rounds 2 and 3? I think taking a second-tier QB in the 2nd or 3rd rounds would be a better value. I hope we don't trade away our 2 1st rounds picks for a QB. The position is such a crap shoot that we would be better served shoring up the O-Line and the defensive backfield in the first round.

Well, expecting much more than a backup QB from a QB drafted in the 2nd or 3rd round is like putting your money down on the lottery IMO. Between 2000 and 2014, the only mediocre or better starting QBs to come out of Rounds 2-3 of the draft are: 2000 - Drew Brees (2) 2002 - Josh McCown (3) 2004 - Matt Schaub (3) 2011 - Andy Dalton (2) 2012 - Russsell Wilson (3) 2012 - Nick Foles (3) 2013 - Mike Glennon (3) 2014 - Derek Carr (2) 2014 - Jimmy Garoppolo (2) That's only 25% "success" with setting the bar low enough that McCown and Glennon make the cut (9/36). If you raise the bar higher and remove those two the success percentage drops to less than 20% (7/36. Unless the Bills sign Cousins, I wouldn't be good with taking a round 2 or 3 QB unless he was somebody who was considered a first rounder but who fell in the draft for some reason. A better OL would never turn Chad Henne or Brock Osweiler into decent starting QBs.

He mostly babbles and makes obvious points while he talks in circles. If that's your idea of professional, then have at it. That gets Aikman on the A team at Fox....
BillsVet Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 The Bills have kicked the can down the road for years on solving their QB issue. At the heart of it are decision makers who were afraid to be wrong and avoided the audacity necessary to find your long term guy. I don't get that sense with McBeane. The HC traded down last year with presumably the foresight to know they needed more picks to be active this year. Moves this past off-season seemed to continue that thought process. I don't see them taking someone in the 2nd or 3rd, pairing them with a veteran and Peterman. That's too cautious an approach for a team stuck in the mediocrity the franchise remained in these past 18 years. The fastest way to getting better in the NFL is finding the QB. You can draft all the DTs, LBs, guards, and safeties you want. They won't exponentially improve the team from one year to the next in the current NFL. Sure, those positions need improving, but that can be addressed in UFA or in later rounds.

I shall bronze my hand and let it smack my forehead if he ever becomes more than a clipboard holder for the Buffalo Bills... McProcess needs a total purge, or less dramatic, mostly wholly new bodies. I love Tyrod. I think Tyrod is an athlete of the best kind, a la LeSean.. But that combo on the ground gets NFL defenses predicting right too often. Buh-Bye. My thought is that this FO should get over finding Brady in the sixth round and just start getting fellas who work. Kirk works, the man does his job.Foles already has a scheme, work that shiz.. Sam works, but the man is made of paper, so is Teddy. Case is unknown, McCarron is unknown, and all the rest of these young guys are complete guesses, pick one (done). Maybe we pick Lamar at 21, or Mayfield... who gives a darn. Lets exchange Peterman with Tyler Bray. The man is just as useless as an NFL QB, probably a ****-ty clipboard holder, but he can huck the rock. Get another useless guy that can bomb it downfield, and train him... The NFL is a bunch of stupid refs that call PI every chance they get, just keep doing that instead of going 3 and out. Now I am a successful Head Coach, and I'm worth millions. Goood Day Buffalonians! Your next QB is named Chad Kelly, and he is a gunslinger, a regular Joe, and a savior...... Hey .. listen to me, I'm an armchair GM.. And my vision is worth a hell of a lot more than Rex Ryan's, Doug Whaley's, and Buddy Nix combined. And yes, I believe that Baker could set records as Bills QB. Sit Pretty and draft your slots Buffalo... Now back to my whiskey. it was obvious there was a substance involved. i'd love to have both mayfield and kelly in buffalo....but after a start like this you should probably back up, change your user name and start over.
