    If I were to rank the list above in order of guys that I’d want it would be:

    - Rosen

    - Darnold

    - Baker

    - Jackson

    - Allen

    - Rudolph (but I’d prefer Falk and Finley)

     

    I think the opposite with Cleveland. They are over being the smartest guy in the room. They will pick a QB at 1 and it will be Rosen or Darnold (if he comes out). 

     

    I love Mayfield. 

     

    Cleveland has even said that now is the time to cash in on their draft capital, so yes, they’re taking a QB at 1.  Almost certainly that’ll be Rosen.  Darnold will be in the conversation but Rosen is showing more.

     

    And that is where my agreement with you ends.  I’d be fine with Mayfield if he was taller but he’s not close to tall enough for the NFL.  That makes his odds of success very long.

    The flaw in this thread is that they are not gone because there is no talent there, the real issue is coaching and scheme turnover.

     

    I agree - and that’s on the Pegulas.  It’s such a horrific mistake to hire coaches that revamp the general style of play of a team - especially when you have something that is working well.  Case in point is the Bills top 5 defense under Schwartz.  4-3 one gap attacking defense with a cover 2 that turned over to a  3-4 two gap read and react cover zero and now going back to a 4-3 one gap but with a cover 3.  So many wasted picks that didn’t fit the current scheme.  The same happened with the offense and their blocking schemes. Owners need to pick an overall vision that works and stick with it. 

  3. Football.  No way does McD make this move otherwise.  He saw that Taylor still wasn’t getting the ball out like he needs to and I’m sure he got a feel for how the move would be perceived in the locker room.  I’m sure the other players know where they stand with Taylor on the field and that’s they’re either neutral or positive about the change.  At minimum Peterman will execute the offense in the fashion it needs to be.  Even if he’s not at the level you’d want (and he could be) you’re at least helping the other offensive players learn the system.

      Except BarleyNY's post says "They note that while they try to eliminate their impact for these rankings, the abilities of the RB and QB do have some effect on them."

     

    This can be interpreted as: "all those coverage sacks that Tyrod takes because he holds the ball too long have an effect on the pass protection ranking". I am not saying that the o-line is good, but their true pass protection ranking is probably closer to their ranking in run blocking.

     

    Honestly, it looks like a combination to me.  The OL isn’t doing TT any favors and he’s not doing them any either.  I knew it wasn’t a good situation, but I didn’t realize it was this bad.

    There is some interesting stats here.  Football Outsiders has Buffalo ranked 24th in run blocking and 31st in pass pro.  They note that while they try to eliminate their impact for these rankings, the abilities of the RB and QB do have some effect on them.

    Stop getting sacked.

     

    Seven sacks in one game is absolutely inexcusable.

     

    This is the problem.  Taylor has an excellent rating when under pressure when he gets the ball out.  The problem is that he’s tied for second in the league for most sacks taken.  While the line could be better and improvement there would help I still don’t see Taylor getting the ball out when he hits his drop.  If he can learn to do that he’ll be dangerous.  If not, then he’s always going to face a lot of pressure. 

  7. Really enjoyed watching he Jim Kelly Era Bills teams.  It was before I moved to Buffalo and started rooting for the Bills, but it was so much fun to watch them.

     

    While watching the comeback over the Oilers in a Cleveland Flats bar my uncle got into an argument about Moon with a guy there.  My uncle kept calling him the biggest choke artist in the game and the other guy kept circling back to it being a racial thing.  He was black and my uncle white). That escalated during the first half and at halftime my uncle bet the guy $20 that Moon would choke the game away and that Houston would lose.  That guy kept getting more and more angry as the game slipped away.  He stormed out right after the Bills took the lead.  I almost felt bad for him.  Luckily the bartender kept the bet money for us.  He was laughing his ass off. 

     

    After those it’d have to be Rex getting canned.

    So, because of that post, should you be lumped in the " Taylor Sucks " crowd ? ....See how that works ?.....I'm saying exactly the same thing...TT is not good enough...he doesn't suck, but he's not the guy for the Bills....

     

    Yup.  TT is one of the 32 best NFL QBs on the planet, but he’s not good enough to help a team win a championship.  Sure, keep him next season while you get his replacement up to speed, but an upgrade needs found. 

  9. Many here’s assumed he was to replace and be in the mold of Mario, with whom the team had just cut ties.  As others have already posted, he is more of a complimentary DE.  Run defense, setting the edge and getting the occasional sack due to working through blocks or scheme.
