You would think any QB who would have to go against our D on a daily basis would get better and perform against lesser Ds. I can't wait to camp and pre-season to see if there is a correlation.

I get what you are saying, but the problem is the poor anticipation, the over/under/late thrown passes. But a point worth considering.

Beware the curse of Aaron Hernandez. . . . .

Excellent review, thanks.

Just trying to share both side of the Tyrod analysis. Interesting doesn't mean I agree with it. Just enjoyed his perspective.

Seems like a well thought out analysis, thoughts? https://www.numberfire.com/nfl/news/5433/no-tyrod-taylor-shouldn-t-start-for-the-buffalo-bills

I will gladly eat a slice and ask for seconds.

I have posted that I thought CW would make a great recovery due to the extended down time for recovery and play well. Unfortunately, I have been over zealous and overly hopeful when it comes to Bills players rebounding or actually meeting their expected potential. Which brings me to your question of who had the last say in the matter? Has to be Whaley, right? He can't always hit em out of the park.

Perfectly said!

Davis needed a year off to heal body and mind. Returning unearned portion of signing bonus with intent to return in a year or two. Will be 27ish. Good move. When he returns IF he is in shape he will have value. And I could not be happier to see the niners fail. Remember this? Plummer's third-quarter blast on running back Darick Holmes set up Lee Woodall's 96-yard fumble return for a touchdown and allowed the 49ers to rock Buffalo, 27-17, in Candlestick Park before 65,568. "That's the hit of the year," 49er linebacker Ken Norton said. "That's one of those kinds of hits you can hear. I mean, standing on the field near the play, you could even feel it. And it turned the whole game around. Buffalo (8-5), poised to break a 10-10 tie in the third quarter, had the ball on the San Francisco one-yard line with first and goal. Quarterback Jim Kelly handed the ball to Holmes, who had been inserted in the second half to replace an injured Thurman Thomas (leg cramps), and Holmes aimed for the end zone. Hated them ever since!!!!

Complete game. 2009 Virginia Tech – Nebraska - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3TBYKjSbU The Virginia Tech Hokies and QB Tyrod Taylor pull out an improbable 16-15 win with a late TD score against Ndamukong Suh and Nebraska. Not a huge endorsement for TT but it was 2009. Last drive down 5 with a minute and a half and no time outs. Came away with win. Budding superstar. Now fast forward 6 years and . . . . story yet to be written.

TT- College highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vHJTeM4S3I EJ College highlights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkxbQ-G1-ok What do you think? I have my opinion (not agenda) after looking at both sides of this coin. IMO. TT.

College nickname good. Pro nickname has to be better! Especially, for a NFL starting QB!

Why have we gotten away from the nicknames? Gatorade and Subway must already be reaching out to Tyrod "Drillbit" Taylor.

Damn that's good. Wish I thought of it!

I'm just looking forward to the clever nicknames that will be popping up for Tyrod's many endorsement deals. Tsquared, Double T, Touchdown Taylor and on on on. . . It's fun and on topic.

Careful, all the EJ lovers will criticize you for calling EJ a BUM. In my experience they are a little testy when it comes to their precious 25 year old baby boy EJ who should not be tossed out with the bath water. IMO call him whatever you want!

I stand corrected. You had to have been surprised by the pick. Yolo tell me honestly you considered the Bills drafting EJ prior to the draft and I'll believe it. But there is no way you thought he would be taken in the first round. That is still mind boggling.

I'll give you that. Thanks for the the reminder.

Well, I did ask. Thanks for your answer. And I will agree with your assessment. Well said. For the record I don't think there was anyone in all of Bills Nation that didn't question the draft pick and and hasn't questioned it ever since.

Basically, you are right. I guess grasping onto EJ looking good against a bad Jets team can give you hope. It does nothing for me and I will be pulling for him if he starts as I want wins like al of us. I just don't think he will be the QB to do it.

Loser in terms or winning and losing. Record speaks for itself. Also, bowl games, really. He leaves FSU and they win national championship. Basically same team minus EJ. Simple math. Perhaps, time will tell and nothing would make me happier than eating crow and EJ playing well. Just don't see it happening. I will be first to admit i am wrong when I am.

Seemed appropriate for both. IMO!!!

Can anyone point out a game in which EJ played well or did something that looked remotely like playing QB? Who cares who really wanted EJ. Marrone's only good move as a coach was benching him. And before anyone tries to claim the Carolina comeback had anything to do with EJ go look at the film. Penalty aided and FJ smart drop of a bad pass by EJ kept drive alive. I pray there is a team who wants to give us a draft pick for this monumental bust of a player. Loser at FSU and a loser now. Zebras don't change their stripes and neither will EJ. He will always be mediocre.
