Yep... There are just some who are absolutely obsessed with talking about him, though

Hunh...? Subconscious error? Is your Taylor love truly coming to fruition?

Only one of those 4 teams made the playoffs and fired someone on the coaching staff. Know who? Play calling was a problem for the Bills and was a huge reason the Bills had the most runs of 0 yards or less on 1st or 2nd down in the entire league. But don't take my word for it... just tell me if McDermott retained his offensive play caller from last year

Rams and Bills both lost Wildcard weekend and are not like Eagles or Patriots, who are on their way to play in the Super Bowl

Now contrast the Jags playcalling when they went up by multiple scores with the Eagles going up by multiple scores yesterday against the Vikes. I really, really, really hope Dennison was primarily responsible for the fact that the Bills passed the ball over 4% less than the entire NFL when up by more than one TD and almost 8% less than the 18 teams that ended up with a record between 7-9 and 11-5. I hope Dabol persuades McDermott to have at least a little more of a foot-to-the-throat mentality when we're leading. It'd be nice to finally wrack up a ton of garbage time yards and points when leading the way the Patriots always do and the way the Rams and Eagles did this year as opposed to getting a lead and just holding on for dear life. Unfortunately, I don't think this changes much.

Stepping out of the Persona of the OP for a moment... Do we have anyone better? Nate Peterman sure as hell ain't it. Come to the middle where Tyrod Taylor is a QB we should be actively trying to upgrade on, but isn't nearly as bad as you constantly paint him. This is just going to be a long and really ridiculous offseason where people are going to paint QBs like Nick Foles, Case Keenum and Blake Bortles as much better than they really are. At this point, settling for a guy like Tyrod Taylor,Case Keenum, Nick Foles, Blake Bortles, Sam Bradford, or Alex Smith this offseason without doing everything we can to draft whoever McDermott/Beane/Dabol want at QB in round 1, even if it requires a trade up, would be one of the worst possible things we could do since it would ensure we'd likely be a middling franchise for years more with just random popup years of being really good the way the Vikes and Jags did this year; I mention those 2 because I think they both take big steps back next year. I want "the guy" at QB while also building up the roster. The Patriots and Tom Brady have just made it so that "only one Super Bowl" is going to mean a lot less in the future, unfortunately. The only way to get more than one of those is go get a great QB and build the roster. Right now I don't really care much about the Taylor discussion. I'm more concerned with whoever our longterm Franchise QB. That guy won't be Taylor, Case Keenum, Nick Foles, Sam Bradford or Alex Smith, it's going to be some rookie we draft in the 1st... there's a very small chance it's Cousins if we make a run at him in FA, but I don't think it'll be him because of cost and the fact that I think the staff wants a young guy who has a much higher ceiling. Now, our starter in 2018 might not be whoever we draft... it might be Taylor. It might be a vet FA QB, though I think that's less likely than Taylor. And I think if it's a vet FA QB, it'll be a cheaper guy like McCown or a guy like Alex Smith who literally has one year left on his current contract so there's a quick window out. If Taylor's still on the roster in a couple months, you and I can keep butting heads with Taylor talk. What's the point right now? So, for now, you can keep on increasing that post count of yours with what seems to be an unbelievable obsession with talking about Taylor with all your little one liners... I'll jump in with a post or two occasionally. But in the end, it's going to be the draft and the QB we should draft we should all be talking about because, really, that's what matters here.

Hey Hucklebuck, you're right, let's go get the next Tom Brady... in fact... nay... Let's get someone better damnit! I want 15 straight Super Bowls from whoever we draft starting NEXT YEAR!!! Must be easy to find, right??? I don't know what the point of this call out is. I've been excited about who we might draft in the 1st round at QB this year the moment we traded down last year and it became obvious that's the plan. I put the note in the OP this was largely tongue in cheek as a thread, anyway as an homage to a poster who's now apparently been banned a 2nd time under a new name. Alas, people look solely at a title and pounce.

WTF?!?! That's messed up!

Yeah I saw them smiling and laughing in the broadcast. Thought it was really weird. Yes, I do think there's a little bit of an effort and has been to get the Pats back in the Super Bowl. It was nearly the Jags & Bortles vs the Eagles & Foles... yikes!!!

Dilly Dilly!

Yes. Completely agree. And I legitimately think all our draft pick acquisitions going back to the trade with KC last year to unloading Watkins and Darby have all been with the intent of getting whoever McDermott feels is "his guy" this year. Darnold is the guy the Bills have been linked to but I think our only path to getting him is trading up with Cleveland at 4, at best. Darnold, Mayfield and Rudolph are the 3 I'd like, even though Mayfield may not be a McDermott guy... unless he's really confident he can mold all of his attitude and competitiveness the right way. Allen scares the hell out of me... reminds me of an EJ 2.0 type prospect. I just think Jackson is too similar to Taylor for us to draft him... or I could be wrong and that could be exactly why we draft him. I don't even think Rosen is on our radar... though that's nothing more than a feeling. I think I'd be most excited if we traded up to acquire Darnold because despite having to give up draft picks, it would show serious confidence that Darnold is "the guy." If we don't do that, I think we take Rudolph. I'd be happy with either.

Well crap, now you made me respect you a little. Damn you! Fair enough. We're closer in beliefs than I think either of us thought. Your feelings on how I really feel about Taylor are probably a bit exaggerated, but oh well, it's the Internet. I'm just excited to see what happens this offseason at QB. And whatever QB we acquire via draft or trade or whatever damn well better be a better QB than Case Keenum or Blake Bortles or Nick Foles despite the fact that everyone is a victim of the moment right now.

All anyone really needs to know about you as a poster, and trolls like you certainly aren't guys anyone should ever get remotely upset about.

Nose remains untweaked. I've been right so damn much ... hard to care much about the type of extreme overcompensation you tend to do here. So, you're the type of person who laughs because you think you're getting under someone's skin? Your family and friends must be very lucky

And the Taylor obsession continues

You and NoSaint both keep bringing up that bet. Why? You mad that I won both of those light-hearted fun bets? Or are you mad that despite the fact that you and your ilk were shouting from the mountaintop for a couple years that there was no way we'd make the playoffs with Taylor under center? I wonder if us making the playoffs was bittersweet for you since one of your foundational beliefs was proven wrong. Or does your bitterness go back to when I said there was no way Peterman was winning a "QB competition" in TC? Or does it go back to me saying we weren't really very likely to draft a QB early last year? Or does it go back to me saying McDermott as a new HC last year was much more likely to keep Taylor as his QB for another year or two? Honestly are you just mad at me all the time because I've been right so much that deep down it scares you like a small child knowing that I've been saying I think it's unlikely Tyrod is just cut before his roster bonus is due, a bit more likely that he's traded likely in a package to move up in the draft, and probably about as likely McDermott decides to keep Taylor for another year, especially after the Dabol hire, which I believe makes it more rather than less likely Taylor's still under center in 2018? If that scares you, don't worry, I also steadfastly believe we're drafting a QB in the first, probably through a trade up. And I think that QB will be given every opportunity to start sooner rather than later

Oh c'mon now... I'm sure there was one other time if we think long and hard about this

God people overreact to just about everything. Foles and the Eagles are catching lightning in a bottle right now. I would love love love it if the Eagles won the Super Bowl against Brady and all the sudden Foles is somehow a great QB. People are hilarious

So friggin funny how absolutely seriously some of you are taking this thread. Now let's go get the next Tom Brady this offseason and win some damn Super Bowls!!! Gotta be easy, right?

Which of us is looking for crumbs and which of us is hanging onto an anchor? It's natural to draw that line in the sand. I get it. But I don't think this distinction is as clearly defined as you obviously believe it is

Holy crap those are the weirdest most narrow parameters I’ve ever friggin seen as a “metric”!!! I bet this has happened maybe once or twice with Buffalo from 2015-2016 with a one score game and enough realistic time under 2 minutes to drive down the field. ’sallright. I love you Teddy KGB I mean... Airitoutfitzy I mean... Maurybalstein I mean... RyanLBills Gawd I just can’t keep track of who you are

And Taylor has literally been excellent under center in PA in his first 3 years. Guaranteed. Stats have been posted and evidence is there since 2015. Football 101 bro. I naturally will as soon as we move past Tyrod. Would you stubbornly keep your head in the sand if our OC chooses Tyrod as our week 1 starting QB? Certainly not something I think absolutely will or is even incredibly likely to happen, but very possible.

PS: what were Taylor's stats like passing to QBs when Woods and Watkins were on the field together? #youreatrollordumb I have no depression. My life doesn't revolve around disparaging others on an Internet message board as yours apparently does. About to jump in the water for an evening surf session. Don't think about much other than the beauty of the ocean and the sunset at that point. Thanks for your concern, though, brah!

I don't that what? The Bills don't really have WRs, or didn't in 2017. What were Keenum's first 5 years in the NFL like? #OCsMATTER.
