Do you know the whole story or are you making assumptions that you hope are true?

How many picks do you let him throw before you bench him though? 6 more? 12? 18? hummina bid now can I get a 20?

White Toyota pickup = racist

Barfed a garbage plate up one time on the sidewall of the crapper in the Nick Tahou's in the city in my early 20's. Went there after getting completely shitfaced at some bars in the city. Spent so much time in the shitter - my buddies came in to check on me. Found me in the stall with new barf wallpaper everywhere. Felt sorry for the poor bastards who work there who had to clean that up. It was beyond disgusting. Had to have happened a bunch of times there though.

Wait a minute...... So you're telling me people actually formed opinions without actually knowing the full story first? C'mon man. Nobody does that. Look at the assumptions made in the Jonathan Martin thread.

He was seen pantsless on the 400 toking it up with Cyrus Kouandjo on some kind of synthetic ganja. Dareus flew by them in some kind of convertible Ferrari whipping the finger yelling "Yo my ...........!"

You are wrong about that. He can't hold Jeff Tuel's jockstrap. And Tuel was a toolish 3rd stringer. If Peterman and Tuel arm wrestle - Tuel wins If Peterman and Tuel fistfight - Tuel wins If Peterman and Tuel compete as quarterbacks - Tuel wins If Peterman and Tuel mudwrestle, Tuel wins If Peterman and Tuel compete for most interceptions - Peterman wins. I knew there had to be something there that Peterman was a better tool at. Why would you pay him $10 million + bonuses. His one year contract as a starter last year he got $6 million. League minimum for him is $1 million. My guess is the Bills could get him for somewhere between $1 and $6 million depending on demand for him - which I doubt is very high. They will be bidding against the Jets who have made it clear they want a different veteran to start next year.

If you are going to fix something at least get the grammar right. Otherwise you look ghetto.

You may very well be right about this. There are a lot of free agents on the market though and there are only a limited number of teams who are going to want to sign any one of them long term. If one of these available Qb's (like McCarron perhaps) doesn't get that longer term big money offer, then I can totally see them settling for a very short term deal with a team that is good enough for them to showcase their talents for the following year's free agency market. Obviously a short term deal is not their ideal choice. But I think teams are going to be very reluctant to pull an Osweiler move. And, I think even a QB like Fitzpatrick or McCown might take a decent 1-2 year offer comparable or even less than Taylor to start simply because they might not get a chance to start anywhere else. And both of those guys are closer to the mold of a pocket passer that Beane says he wants than Taylor is. And both of those guys are more experienced veterans who may be better mentors at the QB position. I think really anything is possible at this point. I just think that keeping Taylor puts the coach between a rock and a hard spot when it comes to developing their rookie assuming they draft one high. He could very likely end up in a situation where he is pressured from (fans, media, Pegulas) to play that rookie before he wants to or before he should. Only way he avoids that is if the Bills start out on a winning streak next year and Taylor is playing well. Both of those things would need to happen. Not a good bet for the coach. If Taylor ended up having another one of those <100 yard passing games at any point - the fans are going to bring pitchforks and clubs to the next game. If they start a different veteran QB and he flops right out of the gate - McDermott and Beane can at least claim they tried to upgrade the QB position while waiting for the rookie to be ready to start.

That game will forever live in infamy as Gugny's last stand. Go Ej go. 10 minutes into the game. Oh EJ. Oh Ej. WTF?

I've been semi-retired for decades now bro. Already made my dough. When I was working full time - I did contractor work for government agencies. Literally caught an entire workforce at a local government office sleeping on the job. They had a dedicated room full of couches and recliners. Walked into the main entrance of the place - couldn't even find a receptionist. After 10 minutes of wandering around I was lucky enough to catch a girl coming out of the ladies room. I asked her "where is everyone? I have a 2PM meeting with the boss." She responded - "they are in room at the end of the hall - just go in." I walk in and literally every single worker in the place "other than that girl" was lounged out sleeping either in a recliner or a sofa. I startled them when I came in. This was their regular routine. It was 2PM. They get out of work at 4. Taxpayer dollars hard at work. I should have taken photos and sent them to the news. Want more stories? Because I have a shitton of them. Public employees rampant abuse of their employer "the taxpayer". Why? - Because there is no accountability when you are funding your business with other people's money who can't turn the spicket off. Never once seen anything like that for any of the places I worked at in the private sector. Never even close to it.

How many picks could 6 picks Peterman pick if 6 picks Peterman could pick picks?

They look disgusting - yet somehow taste oh so good.

Union pensions = legal Ponzi schemes It sucks losing a job. In this day and age it is very risky if you don't keep learning new skills and developing yourself. You pretty much have to prepare for your eventual firing because it is going to happen at some point. That is of course unless you work for local, county, state or Federal government. In that case, get yourself the best recliner you can find and enjoy sleeping your way through life on the back of (actually) hard working taxpayers.

I had to do it.

Dog on weck. The woof kind.

Lamar Jackson would be a better receiver.

Assuming he doesn't get a long term contract (which is a realistic assumption considering he isn't proven), I think it is possible a team like the Bills could get him on a very short - one year with an option - "prove it" contract like they did with Taylor. If you are drafting a QB anyway and you want a bridge guy that has potential upside, he makes sense. And he makes sense because he is a pocket passer as Beane has said he wants to get. If the guy doesn't play well in year 1 - see ya. Rookie plays end of season or next year. If McCarron plays well, then whatever team has him on a short term deal with another QB in the wings - is sitting in pretty. There is risk because you don't know his downside. But there is potentially big reward if you find out this guy should have been starting over Dalton. Good fit for a team that is drafting a QB anyway assuming you can get him on a short "prove it" contract.

I don't think people are comparing him talent wise to any of those guys. Availability wise yes. Talent wise no. AJ's upside is unknown because he hasn't got his shot yet. He hasn't proven what he is yet. The unknown factor is what is most exciting about him. If Cleveland makes him a big offer, that will suggest that he was probably pushing Dalton for starting QB. If Cleveland doesn't make a decent offer, then it will remain questionable. He certainly hasn't proven himself to be a bust yet. He could be an up and comer or he could just remain a backup. Time will tell.

Who cares about their salary cap issues though besides teams in the AFC East? He is a high demand receiver. Somebody is probably going to deal for him and pay a lot for it.

Ok. I get ya. As far as building around the talent you have goes, this staff isn't that kind of staff. They didn't do it with Tyrod. They tried to force him to be something he isn't. Back in the (I think) 3rd preseason game (second one in Buffalo last year) , Dennison made Tyrod be a pocket passer. They said they were intentionally forcing him to do something they knew he wasn't comfortable with to see how he would handle it. And he sucked beyond belief. And that was preseason. How could they possibly think it would be better during the regular season. Yet, they allowed teams to "let" him stay in the pocket. If they didn't tweak the team to Tyrod's strengths last year, I think they would be exponentially less likely to do it this year. And if they aren't going to do it, then he is destined to be a pretty bad quarterback on this team. For that reason alone, I think it would be insane for them not to move on completely. And there are more reasons beyond that. This head coach is a hardcore system guy. He calls it "the process". - Which is actually a code name for strong defense and traditionally conservative football. It is not the type of football that would focus on unleashing individually talented players dominating their position in nontraditional ways. He wants drone players that you can swap in and out at will that win because they make no mistakes and play better as a team. He does not want "out of the box" style players who need to do things differently or "their own way" in order to be great. And Tyrod is the epitome of guys that can dominate if and only if you set him up to do it his way - which is to beat his opponent athletically.

Also lends evidence (that so many people seem to ignore) to the fact that a dominant offensive line with an average quarterback is a legitimate way to win a Superbowl even when playing against the greatest quarterback of his era on a game where that greatest quarterback of his era is having an absolutely great game. #truth

Agree. Except for 40 times, I think most everything else is overrated.

Rumor is Woody was talking with McDermott about keeping track of equipment and getting more organized. McDermott asked to see Woody's spreadsheet. Woody came back with a bedsheet. McDermott perplexed, cocked his head and assumed a look of (seriously WTF?) on his face.

#4 - Your reasoning for number 4 is completely unfounded and utterly ridiculous. If you want a pocket passer (which Beane says they do) then McCown is a definite upgrade. If you want a veteran passer to teach your rookie - McCown is probably a much better example than any existing QB the Bills have on the roster including Taylor. #5 - If you don't see an upgrade in the passing game between AJ McCarron and Tyrod Taylor then you haven't watched any of AJ McCarron's playing time. Go watch some and your mind will change. I certainly am not a Tyrod hater. I think he is the most misused QB I have ever seen on the Bills roster - or perhaps any roster - and I have stuck up for the guy ad nauseum for the last few years. You are assuming that people who want to move on from Tyrod are "haters". And you are wrong about most of us I think. The primary reason people want to move on from Tyrod is because they have lost all or most of whatever confidence they had in his ability to execute a traditional NFL passing attack. And we know (based on this past year) that this coaching staff has no desire to design an offense that Tyrod is likely to excel in. Therefore, it is utterly a waste of roster space to have a guy who 1) very likely won't be able to execute the passing game well this year on this team and 2) isn't the best example for a rookie to learn from. He simply does not fit this team's schematic game plan. Pointless to have him here at all under these circumstances and a waste of money as well. If you don't think guys like McCown, McCarron, Bridgewater, Keenum and Bradford aren't better traditional pocket passers (what Beane wants) than Taylor - then you have fully pulled the wool over your eyes.
