I would rather go 1-15 and get the first overall pick, with a new head coach and front office than go 8-8. The status quo has to change. Tyrod is not going to get us into the playoffs, so what's the point. That 17 million could be used in other places. Once he is paid, there is not enough cap space to make any difference in a team with this many holes.
Tyrod may be a fix for teams that otherwise have all the pieces in place, however in Buffalo, at best he is a .500 qb. Is anyone really happy with that?
