Let's just pray they all (the starting OL) stay healthy.

Expected as much, thought Rex had already mentioned this. He earned it. Congrats Seantrel.

I'm so effing excited that Tyrod's the starter I actually purchased NFL gamepass so I can re-watch games.

Hope Karlos recovers soon as well.

Playoffs, gentlemen.

The media narrative on TT will be that he is a run first QB who can't throw until the first or second primetime game where he plays and proves them wrong. Even if he throws lights out for the first few sundays, the narrative wont change. ESPN was so bad that their quick-take pundit mentioned that TT's running will make the Jets that much better.

Awesome.

I'm sure this has been mentioned ad nauseam but my biggest concern is pass protection. Fred had a real knack for that.

I'm most excited about the intermediate routes that we now have the ability to convert on a regular basis. Without question, the two most impressive things about him in the preseason were, to me, his pocket presence and his comfort with the intermediate throws.

CB, G, LB, T No idea if we'll actually pick any of them up, but that's what I would target.

It's just not in the Bills best interest. Not trying to target you but I'm just a bit surprised. He has talent, and I want the Bills to have talent.

That is correct. But I would rather keep EJ for the Bills talent pool than "do him a solid" and deal him now. I believe Tyrod will do well, but I cannot predict the future. Thus, keep EJ.

I think Tyrod is currently the best quarterback on the roster with an extremely high ceiling. That should hopefully be unequivocal enough for you. However, that opinion does not preclude me from holding EJ in high regard, nor should it. Just because I think one is better than I can't like the other or expect him to have a bright future if given the opportunity (mutual exclusivity). You want to know something crazy? Just as I heard the (tyrod) news this morning, I was eating breakfast at work. I kid you not, the moment I found out, the Shout song came over the PA system (they pipe in music to the on-campus restaurants). Coincidence or destiny???? EDIT: am I the only one who thinks this Shout song thing is nuts??

I am thrilled with this decision. I understand we as a community are split whenever there are QB controversies, but I think we have a good ball team here and I'm happy the decision was between players who were performing exceedingly well as opposed to the least bad. I also am happy to have EJ on the team, and think he's got a future in the league. If Tyrod doesn't turn into an above average QB I'd be happy to start EJ down the road. I just happen to think TT has a hell of a ceiling (as does EJ), and he won the competition.

I don't think I can stomach seeing him in a pats* jersey.

lol, did anyone think this was remotely possible? (edit: not suggesting you did Kelso) But more importantly, Tyrod was the only choice, he's been consistently good, and is a young guy with a high ceiling. I also wouldn't underestimate his support in the locker room. The guys love him.

Devastating. I have to think Whaley doesn't want to cut his losses on Bryce Brown. If he makes the team, I swear...

Fantastic post.

I'm only concerned that our run d might drop off, given how our personnel executed pettine's d

Tyrod has won the competition outright I think. Consistent. Pocket presence. Reproducible throws. Long drive after long drive. He's currently the best QB on the team with a ton of upside. I'm also thrilled that EJ is progressing, and I think we've got ourselves a nice little situation here! Let's hope things looks this rosy in a few months.

I think he's ok at it, but I'm sure the coaches are talking to him about that long read-option run he hit last week. He should have slid. I'm not worried about his durability though, I think it's a simple matter of being coached to slide.

The assumptions like this have been driving me nuts (not picking on you BigBuff, just using your previous perceptions as an example). I think he's better at those intermediate routes that are so crucial in the NFL than most people assume. He also has a good arm. Maybe not as strong as EJ's, but the two aren't mutually exclusive. Ugh I hope he gets the starting nod. I think he's our ticket to the playoffs.

Interesting question. Although I suppose both Cassel and Taylor would have to crap the bed tomorrow for this to be relevant. They have both looked very good in their limited time.
