Pysyk had years to prove he could be anything more than a run of the mill bottom 4 guy, and he never separated form the pack. I support Murray moving him for a guy he thought could produce more upside, because it's better than just letting him go for nothing.

My bad, I was in the wrong section of the boards over there. Thanks for the info!

Seems to me the sabres forum linked from here is quite dead. Is there a good place to talk hockey these days?

Perhaps, but it's critically important to mention that we lost 6 games by a touchdown or less and in every single one of those games our fate ended up being decided by a single play that we didn't execute. 6 plays was the difference between 13-3 and 7-9 for us. Can this team make those 6 plays next year? I'd rather gamble on that then on drafting the first rookie QB to lead his team to a Super Bowl. This is really a situation where we can have our cake and eat it too. I think we have another out on Taylor's deal after 2 years, so I think the only way you don't make this deal is if it's political. You have to spend the money somewhere, and I'd rather we spend it on a QB we know isn't a total disaster than roll the dice on some cornerback that won't put any W's on the board..

Of course the money matters. If it didn't this wouldn't even be a discussion. However, with guys like Gilmore and likely a few more off the books, this team has plenty of money to get the job done. If you aren't going to pay a guy you know can play at least a little, what difference does it make if you use that money to grab supporting cast when your starting QB is [insert EJ Manual clone here]. You just can't win that way. At MINIMUM you're saying we aren't going to be competitive for a Super Bowl in 2017, and what does that say to a guy like Kyle Williams or any long in the tooth FA you might want to bring in for a push? It says we're looking at another 3-5 year rebuild. I'd rather re-tool. There's no reason that you can't bring back Taylor, use literally every draft pick you have on QBs and fill out the rest of the roster with journeyman FAs.

First!? I feel like I've already won.

That's fine and all, but you don't move on from a good-ish QB until you have someone better. You have to re-sign him. There really isn't a choice if you want to keep the team from imploding. We don't have the luxury of a #1 overall pick with Peyton Manning available.

That's the real loss. There was a lot of info shared on that board that isn't readily accessible. It's been a go to destination for me for 15 years and now it's gone. I suppose change is good, though. It's not like it was a good home, it just happened to be my home.

Count me in They have a bar down here in Austin that plays Chickenshit Bingo, and it's literally that.
