Well. He's never been used as a full time running back and he's def. made his name as a ST guy. If anyone should have chapter and verse on him that would be Roman, who did cut him.
OTOH, last year behind an atrocious OL, he had the best YPA on the team at 4.1 YPA. He's not a cut-on-a-dime guy with the speed to break big but there's something there. And there is something to say for that 2-3 tough yard ability. LIfetime he's 3.5 ypa which does move the chains (but of course the devil is in the details).
Just to play devil's advocate, he was pressed into a starting type role in week 8 last year. He carried 22 / 44, it's a small sample size, I know, but the closest to starting and being an every down back.

WRT the QB's
EJ looked improved in "practices" and he performed very well in Pre Season games throwing for multiple TD's leading the team to score the most points, so that is a plus.
TT (like EJ) is performed well in Pre Season games leading the team to score points on the ground and not in the air. Yet he is still an unproven just like EJ.
so, I'd have to say you would have to score a ? over a++
put in EJ. Isn;t that what most said when speaking of Cassel? Average isn't good enough?
If this is about comparing last year at this time to this year at this time, the QB position has improved by leaps and bounds, IMO
-
Does anybody know if Taylor is still taking off looking to run right away (or almost) or is he showing better pocket awareness?
-
I guess the guys have gotten sick of giving throw by throw accounts of practice?
They're playing a lot better so it's not as much fun for them to report.
-
he has been back in the game for a whole quarter
True, but how many times have injuries affected his season? How many times has he been slow getting up? Still points to durability. When he stays healthy for a season, that's when I would think you can consider him durable.
-
someone large landed on his ankle. Not really his fault.
Never is his fault. He has potential for sure, but IMO, the kid is just not durable enough to take the physical rigors of the NFL.

Does who starts the season at QB really matter at this point? What I mean is that whoever starts certainly isn't going to have a lock hold on it. I fully expect Cassel to lose the job at some point because defenses will start suffocating the offense when they know what plays are coming just like they did with Orton.
In the end, I really hope that Rex starts the season with the shaky/big play ability young guy (whichever) rather than the steady/no big play Cassel.
WRT Cassell losing the job because of suffocating defenses and knowing which plays are coming, IIRC, I have heard a lot of different plays are being installed from the same formations that way the defense can't get a lock on the play. I personally don't care who wins the job, whoever gives them the best chance to win. If it is Cassell so be it, then he can help mentor the younger and less experienced QB's for the future. If it's Manuel or Taylor, then they have obviously shown enough upside to win the starting position and should get better as season progresses. There are positives to come from any of the 3 starting.

I once was high on EJ too
Is that what they're calling it these days...
-
I disagree about the attention whore sentiment. Just a way one chooses to express themselves. We're all fans, just express it to varying degrees. Why does it mean that they're attention whores?
-
Baltimore had 3 different OC's in Tyrod's 4 years there, if that counts.
IIRC, it was also stated that Tyrod ran the scout team offense every week while with Baltimore for defensive game planning. That should give him exposure to multiple offensive schemes in the NFL. Granted he didn't have much time to actually learn the entire scheme, but he did have exposure to it.
-
IMO, it allows the NFL to gauge the interest in the market, before actually making any move. Easy enough to reimburse anyone who purchased a ticket(s) should a move never come to fruition.
-
I'm a little surprised to see comments about Rex regarding being here long term and that he may not be the best answer long term.

I called and asked for customer retention and spoke to them. They told me that since I paid last year they could do it for free this year. I negotiated my bill last year and had it at a very reduced rate. Good on directv for keeping their customers happy.

Unfortunately I clicked from my Droid, made it through the ads, and all the pop ups.
The other two were Marquise Goodwin and E.J. Manuel.

How do you "play above your talent"? Not trying to be an a-hole, just trying to understand.Nelson was always a middle-of-the-pack receiver who played above his talent by being smart about the plays and having good hands. If he's lost a step with the knee injuries and the time spent in sub-optimal off-season training environments while his peers are hitting the plyos super hard and watching film of defensive coverage, then he's gonna fall to the bottom and meet the scissors.
Edit: nevermind. I read that wrong. I understand what you mean now... duh
-
Not for nothing, but in the clip of the replay in the article, didn't his elbow touched the ground before anything else. Therefore he should have been down at that spot. Maybe I'm just off

We've been the "nice guy loser" for so long, I don't mind a few knuckleheads if it means playoffs at this point.
+1.. my post from another thread..
"During the last 15 years, the Bills have built themselves a real "Mr. Niceguy" club that they tried to call a football team. It's time for some nasty on the field. I would much rather be reading stories about how the Bills are kicking ass and going deep into the playoffs than about how player XYZ helped some little old lady and her dog across the street. As long as this does not interfere with his performance on the field, whatever, I say"

somewhere, fred jackson sighs.
shady is certainly not what i have come to think of as "a bill" (the kyle, fred type). hopefully he's good enough on the field to offset this shenanigans.

I don't assume that Whaley is attached to Bryce Brown beyond what he has and can prove in terms of his worth. GMs make great acquisitions and bad acquisitions. The good ones know when to move on, they don't stick with a guy just because he traded for him. If he isn't going to help the team more than another guy on the roster I don't think he will hesitate to move on. Jmo.
Agreed. Pride should not be a determining factor when making roster decisions. Unfortunately, IMO, it is in some cases.

Just curious if anyone seen this at the bottom of the article.
"This story was originally published on February 4, 2015."
Is this just a republish, or did it have new info to add? I vaguely remember reading something similar.

Whaley has actually done quite a bit in a relatively short amount of time in the grand scheme of things. Gets my vote..
