Hot takes galore right here!!!

I think he's talking about the one that Darby almost jumped the out route to Boldin. It wasn't picked but it was close.

Agreed.

No. They're just terrible overall. Simple really. Hope that helps. Have fun rooting for the Chargers

There's no valid excuse for Taylor's bad stats, but we can simply dismiss his good stats accumulated over 29 games?!?!?! I also love that immediately following your statement that there's no valid excuse for bad stats, you provide one. Honestly, this is hypocrisy at it's lowest. Please just admit that and let's move on. You mean after escaping the pocket from pressure and throwing on the run????? Long week?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_quarterbacks_who_have_posted_a_passer_rating_of_zero 67 regular season games a QB has posted a ZERO Passer Rating. Terry Bradshaw did it 3 times. Multiple future HOFers have done it. But yeah, let's totally pounce on his passer rating on 18 passes in a preseason game but utterly dismiss his Passer Rating in 29 games over 2 years. Makes perfect sense

Yeah this.

10-6 and playoffs... it's preseason. I can't believe how much people are freaking out. Defense will be significantly better I think and that's the biggest key. My biggest worry on offense is Glenn coming back ASAP.

You guys are awesome... good form over the last 24 hours of this thread

I'm bitter and resentful, huh? Reread this post of yours Nope. You aren't remembering correctly. I said Week 1. I even made a bet for $100 with another poster here about that. I never said Peterman might not supplant Taylor during the season if he got benched. Never.

It's like bizarro world here today. So Taylor's 94+ passer rating over 29 games is meaningless but a bad preseason passer rating on 18 passes is meaningful?!?! Glad I can only pop in occasionally for this lunacy. Keep it up guys! Almost to 100!!!

So you're just baiting and taunting instead of conversing? What's the definition of "ignore," again?

Weird.... I thought you told me you ignore jm, Crusher and Thurm? Is it an "ignore unless I have an obvious opportunity to belittle" policy you have, instead?

Peterman has one of the weakest throwing arms I've ever seen. I can really see why he fell to the fifth round. Unfortunately, if Taylor can man up this year then our franchise QB is clearly not on the roster. I know that everyone is jumping for joy at quick decisions that Peterman is making, but if you watch the velocity on some of these throws he's just gonna get exposed during the regular season ala Jeff Tuel against the Cleveland Browns. Might not be his first game the way Tuel was, but that ball just takes sooo damn long to get there that defenders will see that at some point. I think he'll be a great long term backup, though

I agree. Peterman might start the 2nd half of the season if the team isn't doing well. No, this year is it for him in terms of proving he's Buffalo's answer at QB, regardless of circumstances or whatever the team may run into. That's the reality I think most understand.

I just see mostly the same Taylor I've seen the last 2 years but in a new offense with new WRs he's trying to gain chemistry with. His worst play of the night was his miss to Clay over the middle of the field that Clay almost grabbed. The first interception really wasn't his fault at all. On the second one I think he was just taking a chance that Boldin might go up and get it. Probably runs or throws it away in the regular season. The other pass to Boldin where Darby almost picked it off again was a play I think you could see an extremely slow receiver who is just being read so easily by the defender. Production is going to be what matters in the regular season. No matter who is mostly at fault (the OL or WRs or Taylor) it will absolutely be Taylor who loses his job... maybe sooner rather than later.

Dude... were you watching? 3 step drop and plant and the defense has already collapsed. No time to read anything. Our OL sucked. Why's it a draw? Peterman wasn't playing against the Eagles 1st string D at any point.

Jesus this thread exploded overnight. Guess Thurm can't try blaming me again for somehow keeping it alive Good job guys! 100 pages here we come! Ummm... what are you trying to imply other than what's obvious: The Eagles 1st string (Schwartz coached) defense is really good and they were going against an OL with crap at LT and RT. Let's just hope Glenn comes back healthy and someone shows up at RT. Objectivity, at last!!!! Pretty concerned with our OL right now. Let's see what happens in a few weeks.

Yep. Just sad. I really don't care who our starter is, I just want the guy who's going to win us the most games. If Taylor sucks for the first... I dunno 4-8 games (depending), I fully expect him to be benched and evaluating the upcoming QB class will be priority #1 along with bundling our picks. That might be what happens, it might not. I just don't think the preseason is much of an indicator of anything particularly for the QB position with a generally very bland and vanilla playbook.

It's the preseason people... who cares? After the way EJ played in preseason games in 2015 I just don't care much about it or think it's very meaningful. Our OL was clearly the biggest problem yesterday. If they can't protect for a short period of time on these 3 and 5 step drops, we're screwed no matter who's under center. We already know Taylor won't get the whole season if he sucks for the beginning of the year, whether it's 4, 6, or 8 games... who knows?

Noooooooo!!!!!! But I'm sure The_Dude will love it!

Jesus... buncha whiny babies. Are people really using the preseason as the significant measure of a player's overall offseason evaluation? Didn't we learn anything from EJ Manuel's preseason just 2 years ago?

Okay. Thanks Dad

Truthfully, I know this will sound harsh, but I don't think many of the TT detractors just watch much NFL football outside of the Buffalo Bills. A lot of the criticisms folks have of Taylor are valid to varying degrees, but usually not nearly to the severity some folks try to push. I think a lot of times people just run with something someone says in the media as an absolute fact without looking for themselves.

Yes. Of course it does. It's what I hope they're building and why I'm still hopeful about the season.
