It's weird that the same people chime in every time Tyrod is mentioned. They chime in to say "I told you so" when something negative is written and "he's wrong" when something positive is written. The reality is that Tyrod moved the offense and put up a lot of points. He did it with a poor receiving core. His game has holes and he misses throws. He is a middle of the league QB. It is foolish to use old school stats (like passing yards) as a measure of his impact. He doesn't play a traditional style of QB. He misses some throws that most QBs make but he makes some plays that no other QB makes.
Was the Bills offense good in 2016? The advanced statistics would say that they were. They weren't there DESPITE the QB play. Coaching, QB, OL, play calling, running game, etc... ALL played a role. You cant just selectively choose the reasons that the results happened while selectively excusing what doesn't fit the narrative. All of these things factored into the result. If you believe that replacing him with someone else would improve those results that's a different argument. I for one, do not see the Bills as a top 7 scoring team with someone (other than Romo) under center in 2017.

Not opining, just reporting. Their point is they both wanted it badly and had egos that allow them to believe they can turn around perennial dumpster fires.

Thing is, Hue is still highly regarded. The Browns clearly planned to fail this year and have abundant cap space, and now that have the 1st and 12th overall picks.
Say what you want about the FO, I like the McDermott pick.

Local Charlotte sports radio 610am WFNZ :
They are suggesting that this is akin to Hu Jackson taking the Browns job = mistake.
They are throwing Whaley under the bus and asking if Whaley will even be there in a year.

Having lived in Clt for 20 years and watched this team, especially this iteration as they are a likable grou:
The Bad
McDermott has never stood out here. I wouldn't know him if I saw him. Not sure he has the leadership skills required of A HC.
Vanilla D. This isn't Necessarily bad but seems to be based on players as opposed to scheme.
Conservative with a lead. Last year they repeatedly gave up or almost gave up double digit leads. Is this him or Rivera deciding to play prevent? I don't know but it was not good.
The Good
He has never had great pass rushers or secondary help. They were in cap hell and he was plugging lesser talent in and getting good results.
-
Jesus they're interviewing Marquise's dad
😂😂😂😂
-
they choked it away with three straight turnovers atleast two that were while they were driving, they had a chance to make it a game but didn't
The fins D was getting mauled in the first quarter. M. Moore definitely screwed them with the fumbles but that was a team loss.
-
Those of us who watched the Kelly era Bills always thought we had a chance. Even though we lost the SBs the next year we believed and watched good football.
I've been saying this. Getting in the playoffs doesn't mean anything if you are a crappy six seed who sneaks in with NO chance of getting farther. You'll still be just as miserable afterwards with a non- playoff season probably to follow.
We need a coaching staff on the same page as management that can continually develope/ teach talent. We NEED a QB. Watching Rogers, Rothisberger, Manning, Wilson how can anyone not see it.
I remember Kelly's first season with us , watching him learn this league and finally get a come from behind win after losing on a bunch of late interceptions. I can handle watching a team become a team.
I can't handle watching an undisciplined bunch led by an idiot. Whoever they get, I hope we become a team with everyone buying in, players, coaches, GM.
-
Lynn will not excite me.
Hate to say it but I believe we are basically in rebuild mode.
Am not excited by any coach attached to the teams search.
McDaniel would be the only one who would get me jazzed but he's not even interviewing.
If we had an awesome draft where we picked up O line, safety, D line who were " steals" at their position in draft, this might help.I don't expect us to get a QB early enough to care.
If we go rebuild, would like to see C. Jones start and work towards top 3 draft pick = no Sunday Ticket for second year in a row

The eye test clearly shows that he is not a legitimate passer in this league. Also, he has proven incapable of coming back from any sort of deficit in quarter four.And not sure as to the answers, however these are straightforward questions that are never asked or answered. The difference in Buffalo is there is stud WR who is not targeted, the eye test tells you they can't play hurry up or two-minute offense and 300 yards is never ever contemplated up/down or in a tie game.
These questions have been answered by him on the field already.
I think both OCs got the most out of him and we have seen his ceiling.
Can you imagine him in a playoff game, with game on the line , 2 minutes and 80 yards to go?
-
It looked to me, the whole game, that many Bills were just going through the paces and not giving close to full effort.
It also seemed( haven't looked at all 22) that our receivers were blanketed all game. Maybe because of the first comment but I would love to have seen Cardale get a chance to hit some receivers who were open.
-
This.
Double this!!!
-
Have lived in Clt since 98.
Panthers are my second team . When they lost the SB last year I was Meh so they aren't really my team.
Last year they had an infuriating tendency to let teams back in on D. That was playing behind the league leading O. I'm not a fan of this pick. I don't hate him but he is boring and his defenses aren't all that. Nothing I've seen makes me think he would be anything better than average.
-
After listening to Whaley and watching the news coming out, I gotta say, we might not have a choice because this organization( irony) looks pretty darned disfunctional😟😳😵
-
I would argue if you have a top 10 defense he can get you in the WC. Top 5 and you get into the championship game with a lucky play away from the SB. We HAD A TOP 5 DEFENSE BEFORE REXs scheme confused the **** out of our guys. Not a good fit. We can make a bet rite now if Tyrod is let go, he starts on another team and puts up better stats then the scrub we trot out next year. Lets make it official. Loser makes a post admitting he was wrong and eats crow.
I didn't say he couldn't put up descent stats. I'll eat your crow right here. McFly is right. TT can go to another team, make $20 mil. and still not get them to the playoffs but have better stats than a rebuilding team with a QB( whomever it is) learning his trade on the field.
How did Kelly or P. Manning or Aikman look in their first year in the NFL.
Could those teams have found a QB to start who could have put up better stats.
What good would it have done for those teams the following year?
-
lost me here. couldnt read beyond this. Tyrod might not see every open receiver but at least he doesnt miss wide open, uncovered WRs when he actually throws it to them. His contract is 20th highest paid QB in the league, for his talent thats around his value, some other team will pay him that and probably more. You know outside of Buffalo's cry baby fan base people consider Tyrod a solid pro QB. The way you people act its as if were using a CFL player in the NFL. Un-Real.
Because, ya know, Rex had to outbid so many people for " Mr. Four season bench warmer" who then amazed so many around the league with his pro passing acumen?
Please, let OTHER teams over pay for him. Good luck to them or him.
Unless you have a top 2-3 defense , he is not getting you there.
How many seasons before the defensive " talent " we have coming back can perform at that level.
TT is who he is. It is real. It isn't crying.
-
They padded the only stat that has mattered since about mid season: DRAFT POSITION
-
I'm in take him or leave him mode with Whaley currently.
To beat a dead horse again, it is a factionalized organization that doesn't work together.
If Whaley and the coach were truly on the same page maybe it would make a difference but we now have two coaches in a row who seem to be at odds with him.
Who is at fault?
If we move on from Whaley, who do we bring in?
Are you ready to admit/ accept we are in full rebuild mode?
It would have to be done ASAP or we will be that much farther behind in picking from the pool of coaches out there.
-
Do or do not, there is no try.
I'm still livid they ruined a potentially Great D to bring in Rex.
We were doing then and on the right path. Had Marrone brought in an NFL caliber OC we might be happy fans currently.
A bunch of us correctly called out the mistake it was at the time.
Moving on from TT is not quitting, it is accepting who we are; a team in rebuilding mode.
-
Oh Wise One! I'm glad you know TT's future when us mere mortals are hanging on to futile hope.
You may be right about TT's mediocrity. I'm personally not convinced yet.
I remember when I thought Plunkett was a proven mediocrity. In his 5th and last year in New England, he completed a stunning 39% of his passes! After two more mediocre years in San Francisco, he went to Oakland and led them to two Super Bowl championships.
I remember when I thought Drew Brees was a proven mediocrity. Being a Purdue alum, I watched his career closely and was disappointed by the uninspiring numbers he put up in San Diego. His first three years there he averaged barely 200 yards passing per game. He was Tyrod, without the legs. Now Brees just completed his 5th 5,000 yard season - more 5,000 yard seasons than all other NFL QBs in history combined!
Those, and other examples, taught me not to jump to conclusions too quickly. Some QBs need time to develop.
Well, at least ONE of us had to have this opinion.... Oh Sarcastic one😉
Maybe he turns into Brees but then again maybe it's time to get checked for early onset Alzheimer's.
I've been watching a mediocre team for 17 years now. The only winning game seasons have resulted in the Head Coach quitting the team!?
Me thinks you probably still think Losman didn't get a fair shake, or EJ, ir Trent, or......
-
As a head coach no. D.C. Yes!!!!!
Where is Ted Cottrell?
-
Brady won't last forever, Trollboy

What I want the Bills to be is good competition every time my team faces you.

Problem is people keep buying😳
Wanna dump Tyrod, then who's the new QB
