I'm kind of torn on the option myself because I don't want Taylor suffering a career ending injury. On the other hand its where T Mobile becomes the most dangerous. and why we have Peterman...

With all due respect BillsFan17, New Bills HC McD just came from a team that utilized Cam Newtons unique skill set in both the run and passing game and may believe he can accomplish similiar results with Tyrod Taylor. Myself personally, this was never a take less or your gone scenario, it was both sides coming together and doing whats best for the team. In my humble opinion...

I'm not arguing Peterman was drafted to start this season, or that the QB's mentioned were drafted to start imediately. I'm saying they were drafted because teams thought they could play at the next level. I'm not a big fan of starting rookies...

Overall Taylor has lacked the amount of practice and game reps in the passing game to gel properly with his supporting cast in my humble opinion.

We all do, good post...

Not that I agree with what your saying above ( because I don't) you draft guys that you think can play in the NFL. You pick up older, experienced QB's to play backup or you draft a guy that might become future starter. Groom him right and it increases his value, something the patriots make a living doing. Do you think Elway called Kelly to ask if his nephew would make a good backup? Buffalo is in no shape to be drafting luxury backups, are you kidding me? doubling down on another later round possibility is what we're doing in my humble opinion Riverboat Richie. Name suggests you know a little bit about gambling...

Do you think Buffalo is going to waste draft picks searching for a backup QB when the Bills don't have a long term starter? This might be a backup plan, I'll give it that...

I'm not happy or feeling lucky in any way finding a career backup and I seriously doubt this is Buffalo's intentions. Is it a long shot, sure it is , put lets not pretend any of us know Petermans future in the NFL.

Myself personally, the Buffalo Bills brought Yates in because he knows the O and would provide a decent backup, then we have C Jones that could play backup. So that leads me to believe someone within the organization thinks Peterman might be more then the future backup in my humble opinion. This is a position that can be filled through FA and get more experience. Note: Peterman has an advantage over Taylor between the ears scoring near the top of his draft class in the all important wonderlic (kidding, kinda)

Buffalo led the league with a 5.3 per rush attempt wich is an indication the RB's despite being a run 1st O had plenty of room to roam. I find this to be true, Taylor deserves credit for calling, participating in and opening up space for the run game in my humble opinion. Go eat a cough drop,

Looks like we're in a very small minority mead107

We haven't had a good one in so long what the heck right?

Look at it this way, these are not accurate numbers, but lets say by design Taylor made 200 pass attempts throughout the season and every other QB in the league threw by design 300 pass attempts or more. Do you see why it would be useless to use low totals as a knock againt Taylor in a QB evaluation when the OC/HC made the determination they were going to run the football more then any other team in the league. High yardage totals with a high INT totals is also another thing fans need to take into consideration. How many yards, change of field position and points did the INT cost you? if you calculated it all up you might find out 200 yards passing and zero turnovers is better then 300yards passing and 1 or 2 INT's. One stat or yardage total doesn't give you enough information...

I'm only speculating, but it appears McDermott may not have used much help from the Bills scouting department or GM in determing how the 2017 draft was carried out. If the draft itself turns out to be one of the better Bills drafts in recent history, what does that tell you?

I'm speechless...

why would I want to trade a QB that has proven he can play starting QB in the NFL for a rookie?

Happy B-Day jw, Have a great day buddy.

I thought HC McD taking time out to visit with the leaders of the team that went to 4 straight superbowls showed just how far McD is willing to go in search of a Champion. The attention to detail, the demand for respect, the high priority in obtaining players of good character, all very Marv Levy like in my humble opinion. but is McD as good in the X's and O's department is the question...

To get the most out of raw data its important to understand how misleading some of it can be in my humble opinion transplantbillsfan. Rochester brought up an important point I think in evaluating QB's and I believe it goes hand in hand with how well a signal caller is seeing the football field. Scoring how well a QB can determine the most lucrative place to go with the football would show you what QB is playing at the highest level IMO. Eye test tells me Matt Ryan is probably near or on the top of the list (2016) when it comes to attacking the football field with big play capabilities IMO. (Julio Jones might have something to do with it.) Myself personally, I've grown to trust Rochesterfans opinions/post because of how much thought and research goes into them. I'm not saying he's always correct...

You guys are making it very interesting, thanks

Some data can be misleading , especially when totals come into play. Buffalo having the lowest YAC total in the league for example is a product of the lowest overall pass attempts in the league. Even averages can be misleading because 2 or 3 more big YAC plays is all it takes to put the Bills in closer proximity to league average. So naturally throwing the ball more would in all likelihood put the Bills higher up in most statistical categories IMO.

Peterman was the most pro ready QB in the draft joining a team installing a new system. I'm just saying...

Its the 2nd season fans should be more concerned with in my humble opinion jc
