You guys sound like Donald Trump. Although in this case you're not wrong. I don't think LaCanfora has ever been right when it comes to the Bills. And there's nothing in this article that can possibly be proven incorrect in the future. Which are the type of "inside source" stories that writers like LaCanfora thrive on. Add a few inside scoops that can't be refuted and fill the rest up with connect-the-dot material that any one of us could write. Boom - you have a story to pump out to generate a requisite number of offseason clicks for the scouting combine weekend.

This new head coach you love reportedly wants to keep Tyrod. Do you still feel the same way?

Russ Brandon still making personnel decisions!! http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bills-coaches-execs-remain-split-on-picking-up-tyrod-taylors-30m-option/ INDIANAPOLIS -- The Buffalo Bills are about a week away from another potential franchise-altering decision at quarterback, and it’s causing considerable consternation within the organization. League sources say a chasm remains between coaches and the front office whether to execute a $30M option on the promising-but-unproven quarterback. As I reported in December, Buffalo’s decision makers -- general manager Doug Whaley, senior VP of football administration Jim Overdorf and team president Russ Brandon -- decided they didn’t want to pay Taylor in 2017. They wanted Taylor out as starter late in last season (he was shut down for Week 17 once owner Terry Pegula fired coach Rex Ryan), and that has not changed. The front office still feels the current salary structure they negotiated themselves a year ago -- instead of a more standard year-to-year, pay-as-you-go format -- doesn’t make sense, thus their interest in veteran QB options like Tony Romo and Brian Hoyer. However, new coach Sean McDermott and Pegula have become close. McDermott and his staff are not convinced they will find an upgrade over Taylor and see no problem with paying Taylor $17M a year, the sources say. So, mere months into Buffalo’s latest regime change, they are at another crossroads of their own making (choosing this contract structure for Taylor’s extension was puzzling from the start). While I wouldn’t underestimate how highly the owner thinks of his new coach, picking up a $30M option is no small thing for even the richest men to consider. And the front-office core Pegula has relied upon for years remains firmly in the don’t-pick-up-the-option camp. In the meantime, the Bills continue to monitor the veteran QB market, meeting with agents to gauge price points of free-agent options. Some in that building remain intrigued by the prospect of trading for Romo, though the feasibility is under question and I’ve heard Buffalo is not Romo’s favored locale. They’ll have to decide whether Taylor’s option is the safest, most prudent route. One thing is for certain -- this coaching staff has no qualms about working with him and would prefer to do so. And Taylor hits the open market I have no doubt he would fare quite well.

Russ Brandon - is that you?!

Then either draft Mason Rudolph or Luke Falk or Josh Rosen or Wilton Speight or the next prospect that blows up in 2018. Or tank again and select Darnold in 2019.

What did he say about Dak Prescott?

We should draft two. Like every year. But not in the first this season unless maybe we trade down two or three times. Which I would recommend.

lol perfect

lol if Carp makes the FG the odds would have jumped up to close to 50% going into the Jets game Week 17. Do you have to keep being intentionally obnoxious?

You may have forgotten that the playoffs were absolutely on the line that day.

Are you saying the result of that game didn't matter?

So good games are the outlier. Bad games are the trend. Gotcha. No bias at all here.

I get to interact with Rochester Falcons fan again. My life is complete.

Is that why his last game was the best performance of his career?

This is 100% guesswork on the part of the source-less has-been Vic Carucci. That's simply all it is.

Thanks for the post, Scott. Question - any plans on adding 'Like' functions and alerts in the future?

You're being a little too combative. I'd tone it down a bit until the veterans here have a familiarity with you. That's not censorship - that's society.

Please do. Censorship sucks!

Sucks you lost all of that work/information. But this place is soooooo much better imo. I'm happy to see good posters from bbmb again.

I left a few months ago. Do I count?

You're not seeing the big picture.

Shaw was good. But my all-time favorite was TheEdwardsEra.
