He's chomping at the bit. It's almost Mahomes time!

I won't go into looking at week 16 as I simply don't feel like doing the research, but last season (including the week 17 ugliness) the Bills were 9th in Points/Drive with 2.18, 10th in Drive Success Rate (0.719), 6th in TDs/Drive (0.264), 2nd in TD/FG (5.36), 5th in Points/RedZone Appearance (5.36), and 5th in TDs/RedZone Appearance (0.660). To think there's no way they were higher before a ridiculous 10 point outing against a team with nothing to play for is a bit silly.

No, it's still really weird. Is Alex Smith a 1-5 QB?

0-3? Huh? The QB was 5-4 and had us in a wildcard spot heading into a game against a 3-6 team. He was on a 2 game losing streak where the entire team looked awful, sure, but where on earth did you get 0-3 from?

Depends if his OC calls 2 runs that go for no gain and then a QB draw. And so much for abiding by the bet, eh?

Okay, we'll narrow it down to their first 21 starts each. Tyrod: 62.6% CMP, 206.3 YPG, 7.57 YPA, 29 TD, 8 INT, 5.07% TD%, 1.40% INT%, 96.9 Passer Rating, 6.81 ANY/A Siemian: 60.2% CMP, 241.4 YPG, 6.92 YPA, 27 TD, 20 INT, 3.68% TD%, 2.73% INT%, 81.9 Passer Rating, 5.53 ANY/A When you factor in Rushing & Sacks Tyrod goes up to 232.3 YPG and 35 TDs (1.67/G) and Siemian goes down to 231.9 YPG and 28 TDs (1.33/G). Literally the only stat Siemian has an advantage in is passing yards per game, and that is completely negated by sacks & rushing...

I'm actually looking at the numbers now because I don't want to work. We'll see how it looks from a broader perspective if I finish before 5.

with 1/3 of the turnovers. I wasn't the one who claimed they were total equals because I'm blind to reality. Just pointing out factual inaccuracies is all.

This is where we pretend Tyrod wasn't averaging 40 yards per game on the ground through those first 21 starts... Just like we're pretending he didn't rush for any TDs in those first 21 games either.

Yep total equals, except Taylor's better in CMP%, TD%, TO%, Passer Rating, and ANY/A, and that's before we even factor in rushing ability.

I don't know man. I really like the Rams move and they went from 15 to 1. If we could repeat that I think I'd take it (assuming they're as sold on Rosen as me). If it went identically we'd have: 1st overall pick KC's 1st rounder 2 4ths 2 5ths and a 6th Could be a lot worse, plus we'd have a late 1st to snag one of the high end Guards/DTs

For Washington, 6 to 2 was 3 1sts and a 2nd. For Philly, 8 to 2 was 2 1sts, a 2nd, a 3rd, and a 4th

Problem is losing the last 5 doesn't get you out of needing to move up. And I'd prefer to develop a habit of winning, if possible. Give me the Rams deal, I find it plenty palatable. For RG3, Washington gave up 3 1sts and a 2nd to move from pick 6 to pick 2...

Depends on the prospect and how far we have to move. The standard offer over the past 2 years. 2 1sts, a 4th, and a 1st next year. If it's the Broncos or Giants maybe you look to package Tyrod in the deal and bump one of the 1sts down to a 2nd? I'd do either of those for Rosen, but I also don't see a way to fix the OL while making that move which is bothersome. The Rams trade with Tennessee seems doable with the right partner and jumping up from 15 to 1 feels about like what we'd need to do. Rams got Pick 1, Pick 113 (4th), and Pick 177 (6th) Tennessee got Pick 15, Pick 43 (2nd), Pick 45 (2nd), Pick 76 (3rd), Future 1st, Future 3rd

9ers, Colts, Broncos, Giants are all in play depending on the offer and how things shake out in the last few weeks.

They didn't tank though. They won 7 games and then traded a bunch of picks for him.

The Eagles didn't really tank either. They went 7-9, 7-9, 10-6, 10-6, 4-12 in the last 5 years and the year they went 4-12 they selected Fletcher Cox with the 12th pick in the draft...

It'd be nice if we started by not getting into 3rd & 20 so often...

They're putting Tyrod back in

Depends on how you evaluate the prospects and how much you're willing to give up to move up if necessary.

I suspect roughly 15 teams are in the market for a QB to take over within the next 2 years.

Working from the top of my head, so forgive any inaccuracies. Big Ben, Manning, Flacco, and Rodgers were 1st rounders Brees was a 2nd Rounder Wilson was a 3rd Rounder and Brady is a

I'm not suggesting waiting for ideal conditions, but until you have an OL that can actually hold their blocks long enough to execute a 3 step drop you might want to evaluate the QB in a controlled environment (assuming it's an option).

I'd ask the same question for Nate now that I asked going into last year with Taylor's 'prove it' situation. Do we have the pieces in place around him to get a proper evaluation?

Only if they miss the playoffs. Or get a tougher draw due to the loss, I suppose.
