Hope this was worth your time for a post that was a tongue in cheek post taking a little light-hearted jab at a previously-banned-poster-under-a-new-name's thread I had fun with mine. The little I read of your post, you sounded upset. Why you mad, bro?

I do! Like lots of it! Can you help?

No, I didn't

For months, we've heard... "You can't win with Tyrod!" "Tyrod is one of the worst QBs in the league!" "The Bills could never be a serious contender with Tyrod!" But then we made the playoffs for the first time this millennium. And after watching warranted frequent punchline Blake Bortles over the weekend be fortunate enough to be on a team talented enough to beat an all-time great like Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for more than double the yards and 5 times the TDs as Bortles, I really think that stuff can end now. If even Blake Bortles is capable of making an AFC Championship and Tyrod made the playoffs when countless people didn't even give him a shot at being a QB leading a team to the playoffs, then perhaps the world won't end if McDermott and Beane decide to keep Taylor for one more year to make a playoff run. PS: This thread is largely tongue in cheek. Some are about to absolutely flip out. Some will "get it." Truth be told, we're drafting a QB in the 1st, as we should. Taylor might be traded as part of a package to move up. but I think he's more likely a Bill than not. But Taylor really is better than Bortles, the King of Garbage Time.

Whoa, holy crap, dude. How friggin old are you?

You're throwing out raw yardage and attempts and "workload" as the sole reasons for him being better? Seriously? Here, quick, which QB is better since you're stuck solely on stats, and why? QB1: 7797 yards 61.5% completion % 7.0 YPA 5.1 YPC 47 TDs 12 INTs QB2: 8760 yards 57.8% completion % 6.5 YPA 5.5 YPC 54 TDs 32 INTs

I don't like to watch videos of people claiming to prove an argument. Not clicking on that. You must be a millennial. Funny you say a "relatively important stat..." not too confident in whatever your argument that I don't currently know, are you? Please, tell the class whatever the hell you're trying to argue. Is your argument "QB PLAYOFF WINNNZZZZ"? I mean now that the Jags have a whole 2 of them? Or you could just do the rational thing and admit that Bortles isn't better than Taylor while understanding at the same time that if you did that you would not also be saying that Taylor is great or even good. This is just a really dumb argument I probably won't waste much more time on if you continue to pretend to believe this stupidity

Have you watched him play? Did you actually bother watching the Bills Vs Jags game where Tyrod clearly outplayed Bortles as a passer? Bortles is NOT a good QB. He's bad. I can't believe you're drawing this line in the sand. It's a dumb one. I don't need to prove anything. Use your PFR you evidently rely completely upon if you're incapable of seeing what most people see which is that Tyrod is a better QB than Bortles. Bortles is just playing on the most talented team in the NFL. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TaylTy00.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BortBl00.htm Tyrod 3.3% higher completion % (significant), 1.5% lower INT % (significant), 1.2 more AY/A (significant), 11.7 higher QBR (significant), consistently higher Total Qbr, 0.4 YPA more, 0.1 YPC more, Higher NY/A and ANY/A. Taylor's got 165 more rushing yards and double the rushing TDs in that span, as well. They have the exact same TD%. Bortles has a couple more 4qc and Gwds but in 20+ more games. What're you going with, exactly YAAAAAARRRRRRDDZZZZZ?????? If it looks like a Troll and smells like a Troll, it must be a Troll Such a shame.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Okay, Crusher

Serious question: Do you find that the rewards of trolling carry over into your personal life? If so, is that why you troll so much? If not, why do you troll so much? Does it have to be medical?

I think Tyrod does want to be in Buffalo. #1- Shady and Charles Clay are reportedly his best friends. #2- Familiarity with team, coach and city, which is a big deal for some. #3- He already knows he's better than any QBs currently on the roster and probably believes strongly he'll beat out any rookie coming in (that's not me saying he will, mind you). #4- He's tasted playoffs with a team that just suffered through the longest playoff drought in pro sports and knows the insane atmosphere of Buffalo that comes with it and will want to be part of something more. #5- He would get paid good money next year in Buffalo in a contract he's already under.

Jags. How could anyone want the Patriots? Who cares about Marrone. He's just riding the coat tails of the most talented team in the NFL. But I want the Vikings to win the SB.

Child. No one really pumps Tyrod up. We only speak the truth while you're standing there with a pitchfork in one hand and a torch in the other following the mob (though at this point I think you're clearly one of the leaders) ready to burn the house down of a monster you've all created largely through hyperbole and outright lies.

Oy Look at your title, dude. I was responding to your title there in antithesis. Did you just not realize the fact that your title directly says 4 games this weekend were proof or are you just a gigantic hypocrite?

God you never fail to sound like a complete idiot

People here are funny. The Tyrod obsession is unreal hypocrisy for 3 or 4 of the posters in this thread who apparently can't move past this pointless bashing of a QB everyone knows we're going to move past after 2018 if not in a few months. And it's not often about arguing facts with these guys, it's about saying the most absolutely outlandishly hyperbolic and/or false crap and seeing if you can get away with it. We'll draft our future Franchise QB in the first this year. We pretty much all know that and are pretty much all excited about that. I know I am. But sheesh! Are you guys going to jump off a cliff if Tyrod is our starting QB going into the 2018 season?

Stop. Take an Internet break. It's making you stupid.

How many of those 45 points the Jags put up were put up by Bortles? Honestly this thread is sheer lunacy at this point. We watched a team QBed by Blake Bortles today get the W over a team with a guy who's going to be a 1st ballot HOFer. We watched a team QBed by Case Keemun today get the W over a team with a guy who's going to be a 1st ballot HOFer. We watched a team QBed by Nick Foles yesterday get the W over a team with a guy who is the reigning NFL league MVP and seems to be on his way to the HOF himself. The last 2 days proved it's not the better QB who wins consistently, it's the better team. But have your fun in here. Some of you guys are just nuts

Just because you say this doesn't make it true. You get that, right?

I think people are really overreacting to Taylor's performance in the Jags game. Taylor was fine. Not great. But fine. It hurts your team when your offense is so incredibly predictable as Dennison, for example, called the exact same play action bootleg to Taylor's right FIVE times in the first quarter for some reason, despite the fact that there was no pattern of success with that play against Jax, so you'd think he'd stop calling it after the 2nd or 3rd time. In the first half the Bills had a 3rd and 13, a 3rd and 10, 5 3rd and 7s, a 3rd and 6, 2 3rd and 5s, and 2 3rd and 2s and Taylor's arm and legs (and one defensive penalty) converted 50% of those 1st downs. Taylor never should have gone with the P in the RPO but it never ever should've been an O to begin with. And Benjamin never should have pushed off. It was unnecessary. Add in a few drops, a TE who probably could have come up with a catch instead of getting it deflected and intercepted and another TE who couldn't manage to keep his feet in bounds despite a nice converted pass for first down by Taylor. 3 plays I think are completely warranted heavy criticism of Taylor: 1- Missing O'Leary for a wide open TD 2- Missing O'Leary (?) on the right instead of running 3- Not forcing the offense up to the LOS after Clay's sideline "catch" and getting a quick snap off the way he did earlier in the game with another play I forget to beat Marrone's challenge flag. Otherwise, Taylor was fine against maybe the most talented D in the NFL.

Hope??? I hope we find our Franchise QB this offseason. That's all I hope for regarding this team and the QB position, despite whatever you think. All the stuff I said about TT staying is simply what I think will happen. Actually no. It all depends on how everything went down, but reports seemed to be that Taylor was benched in favor of Peterman largely at the request of Dennison because Dennison thought he could run his offense much better. Turned out, not so much. And Peterman was yanked after a half and McDermott shifted back to a "Taylor is our starter when healthy," which showed in both words and action. And then Dennison, the guy who reportedly wanted Peterman rather than Taylor to run his offense is gone. So no, Taylor's benching is no longer a clear sign, to me. If Dennison were retained, yes. But I think Dennison being fired is a sign the other way, if anything.

You should figure out what a fact is. What you just said is not a fact. It's not even an opinion. It's patently false. No one thinks he is. But he's likely the veteran QB on the roster for our 1st round rookie's first year.

I think some of you just keep saying this so adamantly because you really hope it will happen. But at this point if I were throwing out %s I'd bet it's something like 60% Taylor is still a Bill next year under his current contract. I don't think McDermott wants another vet QB, yet at the end of the year PC he said he wanted a veteran QB "for a number of reasons," which tells me it's as much about leadership and culture as anything. I think firing Dennison so abruptly and quickly hiring Dabol is more of a sign Taylor will be here in 2018 because I think it's an acknowledgment that Dennison was just awful and highly responsible for our offensive woes. I think Taylor's route out of Buffalo is a packaged deal trading up to get a QB. We'll see. Shaping up to be an interesting offseason, that's for sure.

If this happens several posters here are going to be on serious suicide watch I can envision one more year with Taylor but think we're going to draft a QB in the first, probably through a trade up.

This thread and the logic in it, or lack thereof, is just absolutely incredible.
