Based on his 2 Pro Bowls we should be able to get a high pick for him...

Mahomes.

If we keep Tyrod and win 6 games or less next year will you apologize for advocating spending 30+ million on him?

Tyrod is a below average QB that has shown time and time again he cannot make plays against teams we need to beat to get to the playoffs, cannot run a 2 minute drive, and cannot make all the NFL throws. I like him personally and his leadership but, like Fitz, his throwing makes him someone you cannot commit to as the answer at QB. He can fill in while you are working to get a QB and he did his job the last 2 years. Now, the decision has to be made if you want to spend more than 30 million on a QB that can't make all the throws and build a team and offense around him. I think it's an easy no for me. The goal of the Bills should not be mediocrity but building a championship team.

Oh I agree. I was adamant in hiring Jim Bob Cooter to install a modern offense and to help us select a QB for that system. I have been on board with the Pegulas committing $$$ to hiring the very best QB scouts and coaches including a QB czar that would be empowered to bring in a franchise QB by looking at every QB in the next 3 drafts. Bills don't put resources in the position and all the Pegula bucks has brought us nothing other than a 4th round pick at QB since he bought the team 2.5 years ago.

You can't commit to a QB based on one game playing a defense with a terrible back 7. Ryan Fitzpatrick has had big games and took the Jets to a 10-6 record 2 years ago. Did they back up the Brinks truck? No, they finally gave in and paid him for one more year and that was a HUGE MISTAKE.

If the Bills spend a top ten pick on an inside linebacker after spending 3 picks the year before on an inside linebacker I will just turn off my tv.

Great link. Matt Waldman is must see and read stuff this time of year.

The Tyrod fans keep saying everything is going to be the same and better. Or the offense will do great, now we can patch up the defense. How will all this happen when you are now taking money away from other positions and giving it to Tyrod? How will this happen when players that were inexpensive are now expensive or gone? Assuming you give Tyrod 30 million+ then Roberts Woods, #2 WR Marquise Goodwin, #3-4 WR Stephon Gilmore, #1 CB Lorenzo Alexander, 3-4 EDGE Zach Brown, LB Percy Harvin, WR (2 years Ago #2 WR) Corbin Bryant, DT backup Leger Douzable, DT backup This also doesn't take into account that the pre-Rex defense that the fanboys imagine is NOT COMING back. Mario Williams old and gone. Kyle Williams old and could retire. Jerry Hughes injured last year. Marcel Dareus most likely to rebound in 4-3 defense but he is ??? because of behavior and suspensions. Shaq Lawson lost his rookie year and did not look like a high first rounder. Reggie Ragland coming back from a torn ACL and Bills are changing scheme to something that could ask him to do things he is not as good at.

Carson Wentz was considered one of the most pro ready QB's to come out in recent years based on the system he ran in college. If Mahomes ran a pro style offense we would never have a chance to draft him. I'm glad he played at Texas Tech because it will scare off people and make Mahomes cheaper to acquire. Remember, Aaron Rodgers fell because teams were scared he was a system QB and that other Tedford QB's such as Akili Smith and Joey Harrington were NFL busts.

Carson Wentz looked fine last year and he wasn't even in Division 1.

NFL teams yards after catch. Buffalo Bills 3rd last, only Houston and Tampa had a lower yards after catch/per reception. The two teams with the best RAC per play? Atlanta and New England who met in the Super Bowl. This is not about total times thrown, this shows that Tyrod is inefficient in delivering the ball so the receiver can make yardage. https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/team-yards-after-catch-statistics/2016/

Those that got on the lifeboats lived.

Many of these Bills fans would continue playing their instruments on the Titanic long after many of us had left on life rafts. Good for them, the show goes on.

Tyrod is a bridge QB. And the Bills would pay him 30+ million as a bridge to nowhere.

I think the Bills have a solid chance of going 6-10 with Tyrod.

He was great at blitzing.

I get what you're saying. It was just my understanding that Albert was more hurt than most even when starting.

He started 72% of the time meaning the other 28% of the time he was not available. He was also often injured even when playing in the games, kind of like a WR we have.

Bad draft for tackles.

He's injured all the time. Bills always injured. Pass.

Yes, I see Derek Carr/Dak Prescott upside. It's a gamble but I want to roll the dice like this every year until we have a QB that can win playoff games.

I heard an interesting story about McDermott. But you won't find it on the buffalo bills website.

Bills need to make sure Foles doesn't slip on a rubber mat.

"I get it. You’re afraid of your team drafting a gunslinger. They’re unpredictable. They make dumb mistakes. Their brand of football gets sloppy. Many of you will be terrified at the prospect of Patrick Mahomes joining your favorite team. If you’re predisposed to anxiety, he’ll up the volume: He scrambles, he throws off balance, he’ll throw it across his body, and he’ll squeeze the ball into windows that would make Alex Smith faint and Kirk Cousins jealous. If Mahomes mental-emotional transition to the conceptual rigors of the NFL, look out. He plays the position with the flair of an All-Star shortstop and he’s the most entertaining quarterback I’ve seen in a long time."
