A while back in a camp setting Howard Simon and Paul Hamilton from WGR both commented how stunned they were at EJ's inaccuracy in a practice setting. Sometimes you don't know how good a player is going to be until you see the player perform in real games. And sometimes you can come to a conclusive evaluation on a player from what you see in practice.
When a WR doesn't run a crisp route you get the same result so practicing with 2nd and 3rd string players doesn't do the backup QB any favors in my humble opinion.

At least outside the board you actually get to meet the person and get a true evaluation of their character.
Can you imagine what might happen If a whole stadium full of die hard Bills fans got into a heated argument overTyrod or D Whaley,
-
You're ranking him against other teams though. Do you not see how it's unfair to not count games TT didn't play but count games that Connor Cook played?
And EJ scored against the Pats. Did you take that score out of your calculation?
Its also fair to consider the possibility that had Taylor finished the season out the Bills may have ranked even higher.
Durability plays into everything...

Happy B Day !
Best of wishes and God Bless,

Yes we did...Tyrod played the first 15 games and going into week 17 we were 5th in scoring with only 2 teams with more TD's than the Bills (Falcons and Saints). These are facts FireChan, nothing you can do about it.
Dumbest statement you have ever written, and thats saying a lot. UNDER TAYLOR..therefore, ONLY referencing games he played by very definition of the statement and we are SOLELY speaking about Taylor...Not EJ or Cardale...
So you can NOT count games EJ/Cardale played (one) in evaluation of the offenses success with TYROD as QB. But you already know that, still doesn't keeping you from your usual non sense though, so at least you are consistent.
PS: Its hilarious too because you actually by default are making a STRONGER case for TT...wtih TT...5th highest scoring team in NFL, he sits ONE game and we drop to 10th.
thanks for explanation

LIvely offseason discussions If we can stay civilized
-
dislike?
that's putting it mildly...
hahaha,
I warned as many new posters as I could,
Beware of PPP...
-
There are definitely people here that genuinely dislike each other.
Myself personally,
I try to read and respond to everyones post like its a clean slate discussion. No hard feelings, just taking each post on its own merit.
It works well...

Well our CoT'ers outdid the bbmb CoT'ers. Ours stated he would double his salary elsewhere, and we would be doing him a favor if we released him. He he he
Between that and them wanting to carry his new team to the playoffs, many laughs were had.
The last poll taken before the shutdown had a large majority of Bills fans in favor of Tyrod Taylor staying in Buffalo and it wasn't even close.
Like TBD a small minority of Taylor detractors were so vocal it would be very easy to be mislead when veiwing the board.
Everyone has an opinion,
some opinions are just louder then others...
-
Worse things could happen
Fitzy is a pretty good backup qb
If Fitz would accept the backup role he would make a good mentor for T T and C J in my humble opinion.
Fitzpatrick might also make good coaching material one day,
if the old bearded one put his mind to it...
-
Hope your ok with me on here lol.
No I promise you I'm not. I would never do that considering what Green Bay went through from 1969-1992. Still since then we have only won 2 superbowls with two Great Qbs. People always say we should have more titles under our belt and I don't think we will until Brady retires or until we fix our defense and quit going conservative with big leads.
Like them or hate them Ice the New England Patriots have set the bar so high now when it comes to team accomplishments during the Brady Era nobody will ever catch them in my humble opinion.
I hate losing to the Patriots, but its one hell of a football team.

ILL take some meatloaf!
yum yum

I would LOVE to keep this about the team and not one player.....unfortunately that is not the agenda of the anti TT posters.....
Anything they can contest about anything positive regarding this ONE PLAYER and not the team they will be all over like white on rice.
From a TEAM standpoint they were still top 10 in scoring efficiency.
I am smart enough to know what your end game is
I understand where your coming from John, but I think you may have misinterpreted what Chan was trying to convey in that exchange,
with all due respect
-
The hell your not
What hes saying John is the ranking in points scored per game average are team standings so to keep it fair we have to include EJ's game.
-
You aren't allowed to eliminate the games our QB didn't play and count games that other team's QBs didn't play.
Also, lol at get him an uncoverable player. Coming right up!
good point,
10th it is then, still not to shabby, all things considered.
-
I just want the bills to put him in the best position to succeed just like I would for any other qb we put under center......
Sammy at this particular moment in time is absolutely the x factor on that....and frankly I dont want the bills to hang their hat on one player.....IMPROVE HIS WEAPONs.....I dont care if its a uncoverable TE or another 1a receiver.....just get him guys that he trusts and can get separation....at this moment in time we have Sammy and a bunch of number 3 guys (Holmes could emerge but once again.....need to work towards better)
Pretty sure it was the 6th (once again....with him on the field our offensive effeciency took a nose dive in the last game of the season when we sat him....only proving the point further)
Bills finished tenth, but Taylor as you just mentioned didn't start every game John
-
Excellent post alphadawg7
I'll 2nd that,
-
Oh yeah? His coaches hired have been very uninspiring. Rex Ryan, Dan Bylsma, and Ted Nolan. Terrible.
Teddy Nolan needed to be removed from everyones mind in my humble opinion jeff, (exorcised might be the best way to put it)
and I have np with the hire,
Rex Ryan is a damn good salesman, and just proved it again with ESPN.
Myself personally,
I'm willing to give new ownership the time it may take to right the ships.
Its a New Era...
-
That's the goal anyways
Pegula's didn't get to where they are today by making the same mistake twice in my humble opinion 3rd.

....EXCELLENT point bud......adapting to the capabilities of your personnel versus forcing a "round peg into a sqaure hole" makes perfect sense....good assessment
Thanks for saying OldTimer,
but I'm really not the one that deserves credit for the assessment/ adjustment.
There's a new Sheriff in town,
goes by the name McDermott...
-
...a couple of OBJECTIVE assessments (I'll kiss babies but not QB asses)......neither EJ or TT had the best of career starts in Bflo......EJ was Nix (or whomever) 2nd choice after OBD bailed on Genome being their #1 to sit behind Kolb, which is in the top 5 of worst OBD signings in Buffalo's history....5 concussions=noodle gone BEFORE the "Great Mat Attack".....Roman went ballistic internally when Cassel was traded so TT was 2nd fiddle....BUT....BOTH have gray matter issues adapting to the speed of the game at this level...EJ failed and also had ZERO confidence....TT's gray matter ability to process the field remains highly questionable in my mind with his "wheels escapability" being the only salvation to a point.....I'm not convinced anyone (HOPEFULLY DENNISON) can correct gray matter issues...and if this club does NOT get some offensive balance ("run or done" won't cut it) between running, passing, with TT wheels being an OPTION as needed versus dependency, I'll be dead before they ever make the playoffs (hold the applause)....
The problem is part gray matter and part faulty system in my humble opinion AFL,
The more user friendly West Coast O and innovative coaching may give Buffalo the desired results IMO.
I Billieve...

You do realize that Anthony Lynn went on to get hired as head coach? Apparently an NFL team didn't think A Lynn was the problem.
A Lynn is not an OC and didn't design the G Roman playbook.
C Jones 1st NFL drive should have ended on a positive note, instead Lynn put Jones in a no win situation.
Just because one team looking for a temporary cheap stop gap hired lynn does not make him a good coach IMO.

The issue is that Tyrod's inability to throw the football hurts Buffalo. When Buffalo has needed Tyrod to make plays in the passing game in the 4th quarter or in a two minute drill he has generally failed.
Dak has been protected as a rookie but in big moments he has led his team to wins. The playoff game only an Aaron Rodgers playing out of his mind beat the Cowboys. If Tyrod goes against a Brady or Rodgers and does his part I will not complain.
Everyone seems to think a highly efficient passing O just magically appears out of thin air with the right QB. It takes practice and game reps, Buffalo averaged the lowest in the league. It takes a proven system/coahing, Buffalo sent the architect of the Bills O packing two weeks into the season, then continued out of the same run heavy playbook. It takes good playmakers at WR, Buffalo has one and he missed part of the season.
Does this sound like the kind of conditions any QB can produce well under, because it doesn't to me.
-
...OS, ask yourself this:....how many times to you run your route full tilt and fight to get open knowing you'll probably never see the ball because your QB lacks the ability to scan the entire field?.....sure I'm getting paid a helluva lot of money but the routine gets old quick..........
This is a wise comment in my humble opinion coming from an OldTimeAFLGuy.
Playmakers want the football because they get paid to make plays.
Raiders Still Hoping for Fan Support(Bills Related)

I'm just glad Bills fans don't have to worry about this anymore.
I feel sorry for any loyal fan that has to watch their team get moved to another location.
