Look.... I like Tyrod Taylor......the human being. Not a fan of him as a starting NFL QB. Honestly, he's the perfect backup QB to have in the league. Someone that can come off the bench and hold down the fort for a few games if necessary. But, as a full-time starter, he's just not a good enough thrower of the football to win a championship in this league. That said, I don't blame him for not wanting to take a pay cut. That's fine and he shouldn't have to. He was given a contract and should't have to give it back. That said, he is not an $18 mil a year QB. I can find a lot of QBs in this league that can throw for 150-180 yards and 0-1 TDs per game. In fact, I bet most of these first round rookies will be able to do that. So, yeah, if I can find a rookie or a journeyman QB that can put up the same stats for bargain contract, why pay a guy $18 mil to do it? So yeah, if he wants to stick to his guns and not take a pay cut, that's perfectly OK. He's earned that right and I respect that. However, I really hope that it's another team paying him $18 mil to play. We know what he is and he's not close to being good enough to win a championship. We don't need to tie up that much money in cap space for an "average on a good day" type of QB. It's time for Bills fans to want better than below average to average. Let's try an get a guy in here that can actually throw the ball and play the QB position in a passing league. top settling for QBs that lead you to a 30th-32nd rank offense and try to find a guy that can potentially be a top 5-10 QB in this league.

In-Depth Breakdown of Lamar Jackson by Eliot Crist
sven233 replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's faster than Taylor.... -
Is that a catch in the NFL? Sure, he had 8 feet in bounds, but he didn't survive the sign tackling him to the ground. Ball came out....... While half sarcastic, the fact you can even ask that question is ridiculous.
-
Yeah....looks like he could be an interesting guy to keep an eye on. I'm wondering what he will run, though. Doesn't look like a blazer by any means, but looks to have good vision.

Definitely a market for the XFL
sven233 replied to BuffaloBud420's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just give me a league with solid football and common sense based rules. There is a bigger player pool than ever before with a ton of quality players that aren't in the NFL. I am actually very confident the quality of play will be drastically better than it was 20 years ago. Where the XFL can succeed is in the "watchability" of the game. Use common sense when it comes to catches, turnovers, etc. If that requires no replay, then fine! If there is a questionable play that can't be overturned in real time without zooming in on every little detail, it stands....period. No micro-analyzing every single still frame to come up with a ruling (that is probably wrong anyway). What's the old saying? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's a duck. In this case, if it looks like a catch, it is......even if there is some room for doubt. I honestly think the XFL was ahead of it's time in a lot of ways a couple decades ago. Now might be the perfect time to take another run at this. It will never compete with the NFL. But, it doesn't have to. I love football. A lot of people love football and miss it badly when the season is over. If you give people like me a quality product to watch, I'm going to watch it because I love the game. Granted, I'm the guy that loves to watch as much pro football and college football as I can possibly can cram in a week, but there are a lot of people, even if they don't want to watch as much as us addicts do, that would love to watch a game in the off season when withdrawals kick in. So, make fun of it all you want, but me personally.....I'm rooting for Vince and the XFL to get it right this time. -

Mayfield isn't making it out of the top 10......probably the top 5. -

Bills analytics department fired/restructured
sven233 replied to ricojes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yup.....there are a ton of us "casual fans" that know more about clock management, game situations, etc. than these coaches in the NFL. It is really shocking just how bad these "smart football people" are at the basics. Could I sit down and design an entire offense from scratch? Maybe over time, but it would be difficult for sure. Knowing whether or not to call a timeout, punt, or go for it in certain situations is not. These coaches make it a lot more difficult than it needs to be. -
Mayfield may not play in Senior Bowl
sven233 replied to MrEpsYtown's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's the best QB at the Senior Bowl & it's not close. And he might just be the best QB in the draft by the time it's said and done. He does so many things well. There are 3 great QBs in the draft & he is 1. Bills have to do what it takes to get one of Darnold, Rosen, or Mayfield. -

No thanks..... Arm isn't there..... -
I'm higher on the Big 3 QBs in the draft than many. I know a lot of people have questions about all of them, but, to me, I think they all have a great chance to be special in the NFL. And, as hard as it is sometimes to deal away picks, I am a firm believer that it is pretty easy to fill other positions on the field with good players. The one position that it is not easy to fill is QB and that is the 1 position you have to take chances on every once in a while. The Colts have been my target from the start. Give up whatever is necessary to get to 3. Is it a risk? Sure is...... But it's time to take a big swing and get the position right for a change. Risk is worth it......for the QB position only. Get me Darnold, Rosen or Mayfield no matter what the cost.

So true..... I mean, I can't even count how many times in these 2 games alone I'm just thinking to myself "Well, there's are throw Tyrod doesn't try" or "There's a throw I haven't seen Taylor make in 3 years." And it's tough to watch because it is so frustrating. Sure, Brady makes throws because he's great. But these other journeymen QBs are making throws that I have never seen Tyrod attempt, let along make. Our passing game has been remedial at best for years now. Time to stop settling for terrible and expect better. Whatever you need to do come draft time......if you believe a guy will be great, do whatever it takes to get him. The position is everything in this sport.

I would give up 5 firsts if it meant getting a Franchise QB. In this case, if I was absolutely confident he was going to be great, I'd do it in a heartbeat......not just to get our Franchise guy, but to beat the living crap out of the Pats* for the next decade WITH THE GUY THEY GAVE AWAY!!!! Couldn't get much sweeter than that.

Ryan Talbot: 50 Potential Free Agent Fits for the Bills
sven233 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Been saying this for a while now. I have no idea what his injury status is or the likelihood of re-injury, but if he has even the remote opportunity to continue his career, I'd want to take the chance and sign him. Why limit yourself to one chance in finding your franchise QB? If Bridgewater can somehow make a complete comeback from injury, and you take a guy in Round 1 (whether you trade up or not), you have 2 young, talented guys on your team and we can just hope that at least 1 in the answer! Give yourself an additional opportunity to find the long-term answer. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but it's a chance I'd like to take. -
Was Saints loss equivalent to Homerun Throw-Forward?
sven233 replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No.....for many reasons. First, it was a legal play. We got screwed on a forward lateral. Also, the Saints have won a Super Bowl fairly recently. We haven't won one and, on top of that, had we rightfully won that game, there was a good chance we could have competed for, and possibly won, the Super Bowl that year. Hard to get legitimately upset having a Championship banner hanging in the rafters, Add on to all of this that we went on to miss the Playoffs for 17 years, being screwed out of games on a regular basis along the way. What the Saints are going through is nothing. With Brees at QB, they'll be back to compete again next year. -
