Ignoring that wins are never tied to any specific position, the Bills are 7-12 on the road with Tyrod at QB. They are 0-3 in road games with anyone else at QB in the same span.

It's exactly why Roman was fired last year. Don't waste prep time on 80 plays when you're only running 50 in a single game.

AP had 296 in a game his rookie year. 253 of them came in a single half

He's one of 4 QBs who's been in my top 10 every year since I started doing my ratings in 2015. Brady (1, 2, 1) Brees (3, 4, 5) Cousins (8, 6, 6) Stafford (10, 10, 8)

Jordy Nelson, Davonte Adams, Randall Cobb, Jeff Janis, and Geronimo Allison? I'd swap the top 3 for ours in a new york minute.

Really? Examples, please. And before you go digging out the Tom Brady info, nobody should be held to that as a standard.

Or they see him as the best QB on the roster, and starting anyone else as lowering our chances to win. Is it really surprising that fans want their team to win?

I just don't see any route that gets us adequate upgrades to the QB and OL through the draft alone. We will need to do some things in FA, and those things will ultimately dictate what we are looking for in April.

The team originally planned on moving in another direction (as they did with nearly every large contract negotiated recently) and Taylor's agent put out feelers to try to gauge the market assuming it happened. There was interest from roughly a quarter of the league ranging from starting on teams worse than the Bills for similar money (to his current contract) to more money to be #2 behind an aging vet on their way out. After that a few things happened. The OC we were hoping to hire went elsewhere and we hired Dennison, who had firsthand experience with Tyrod, and the QB market didn't turn out to be what the Bills expected. So they shifted to renegotiation with the plan of evaluating Tyrod on and off the field before committing to or jettisoning him, because he was the best they were going to do moving forward this year. Tyrod didn't want to give up a starting role and ultimately decided to stay with an offensive cast he was familiar with and an OC he had worked with previously and was comfortable with. There was no simple ultimatum presented based on salary or get cut. The two ends met at a number that kept things flexible with the cap (so the team could add talent) and allowed both parties to revisit soon. It was a calculated risk, but it is a situation Tyrod is used to being in.

That's definitely very different than my understanding, but I only have one side of the story.

McD already gifted Andy and the Chiefs Pat Mahomes and Reggie Ragland. Maybe he's going to gift them a win too?

Depends on your definition, but no.

Barnwell's take is pretty good for the Bills section of this. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/page/Barnwellx171120/moments-shaped-week-11-2017-nfl-playoff-race-quarterback-changes-injuries-trades-benching-decisions

They're 1-25 with him as a HC. I don't see how he lasts too much longer.

Yes, the 2 passes he threw before that pick looked competent. Then he finished with 11 completions, 6 to us and 5 to them...

Easily Rosen. Rosen, Mayfield, Rudolph, Darnold.

It's the 4th time, at least, that it's happened to us this year alone. 3 have been picks, 1 Holmes caught for a TD...

I think I'd still prefer Hue Jackson, assuming he becomes available, but we'll see. McCoy was who McD wanted to pair up with originally.

Not calling a play with more options beyond the sticks is his fault though. His decisions will have consequences, surely. Part of the QB stalemate was that Dennison wanted Tyrod to force more balls into coverage and Tyrod wanted to take what the D gave them and see if our guys could make a play. Dennison got a QB who would force the throws like he wanted. Wonder how he feels about the results...

He came in down 33 points and knowing there was no chance anything he did could be worse than the first half.

For an opponent maybe

Zay had a pretty rough start, but he appears to have gotten his head on straight as well.

Let's take a look at the QBs that have started at least 16 games for the Bills since the Super Bowls. Kelly: 101-59 Collins: 7-10 Flutie: 21-9 Johnson: 9-17 Bledsoe: 23-25 Losman: 10-23 Edwards: 14-18 Fitzpatrick: 20-33 Manuel: 6-11 Taylor: 20-18 I see 3 guys who the Bills won with more than they lost with. 1 is beloved and 2 are hated at worst, polarizing at best...

No way Kirbs! Our OL is great! Haven't you seen Tyrod's time to throw?
