What the hell are you talking about? Read what I've said. Stop attacking just to attack.

I just don't get people. He looks like a rookie who might develop into something. He's made some good passes but probably should have had an interception and a fumble. 4 batted passes kinda ruins the narrative that it was all on Taylor with those. And Peterman has had several inaccurate passes, too. We're all going to (or should) root for whoever is under center Week 1, but unless Taylor's concussion is bad, Peterman hasn't done much to take the job.

And just friggin cut Yates!!! That much we can all agree on, right?

No. We've just seen tons of players who look like all stars in the preseason and do nothing afterwards. He doesn't even look half as good as Dak did last preseason, so I just think it's wise to pump the brakes. It matters in 2 weeks. I think he'll be a good long-term back up, probably.

Yep. And EJ looked fantastic in the preseason. I'm just not putting much stock into this preseason. Can't wait until two weeks from tomorrow!

Really worried about what you just mentioned (I noticed the staring down, too) combined with his arm strength.

He does seem a better fit for the offense we've seen in the preseason, I agree. I just don't think this is the offense Dennison was planning on rolling out in week 1 with Taylor under center.

No. You're just overreacting. He's doing good things at times, though. I could see him being named the starter with the situation as it now is. Sure hope our OL gets healthy.

We might. I think McDermott and Beane have their reasoning for doing it with Taylor's injury. Sure hope Peterman becomes the next Brady if he does God I don't want to sit through another losing season.

You're overly excited about very little. I'm certainly not going to be surprised if he ends up starting the season now especially with Taylor's concussion, but meh... I'm waiting for the regular season. Preseason is so largely meaningless.

I'm on the Bills starting QB train. I always have been. But Peterman just isn't looking like he's stealing the job away, yet.

Yep. And missed a few. Certainly not stealing the job away right now, is he? At least the drive continues for him with the penalty.

I think this final drive of the half will go a long way for Peterman if he can lead a TD drive

Awfully impulsive of you

I really think (hopeful thinking...?) this isn't remotely the offense we're going to see if Taylor's still the starter week 1

God this is ugly. Hoping McDermott is holding all the cards close to his vest

Taylor's out for the game. Here's Peterman's opportunity to pull a Russell Wilson and take the starting job from an injured guy in front of him.

Not a clue why you're being such a belittling weenie here Foxx. Fahey's comments on Taylor are completely separate from his charts. Completely separate. Not a clue how the hell what you say here applies in any way. So grumpy this offseason.

A QB who scores 3 TDs per game is putting up 48 TDs in a season. Let's hope for 2.

All depends if he stays healthy. If he plays all 16 games, I'll say he throws for 25 TDs and runs for 5. A nice round 30 TDs total. That's my optimism shinin through there

Stats aside, Kaepernick and Taylor really are quite different. Another poster in another thread told me I must love Kaep just because I love Taylor and I thought that comment was pretty ridiculous. First of all, they're completely different even as runners. Kaep isn't escaping pressure by eluding it. He's just muscling out of it. He's also not breaking tackles he's just outrunning guys or bulling them over. He's much more similar to Cam Newton as a runner than he is to Taylor or Russel Wilson, who are very different in that sense. Secondly, Kaep throws bullets, and almost exclusively bullets. He just doesn't really know how to put much touch on the ball to throw really catchable balls. He just rifles it in there. Thirdly, and probably connected with the last one, Taylor's just a much more accurate passer than Kaep. I also think Taylor does a better job actually staying in the pocket than Kaep does and even when he escapes pressure, he's still always looking downfield to pass. That's not what Kaep does. So, no, I don't think Kaep and Taylor are all that comparable other than the fact that they're black, running QBs.

Fahey may write a narrative of his thoughts later, but his catalogue just posts the RAW numbers, as well. You can look at those numbers without actually reading anything he says about any of the QBs. So, he does exactly what that website does and then also gives an anecdotal breakdown of and discussion of those QBs later. But there's really no difference in terms of how they come to the numbers. The numbers are just different.

Every article? How many articles do you think he's written? Here is the very last paragraph of one of those many (​the answer to the previous question is 2, btw) articles that supposedly exist about Taylor: Expecting Taylor to develop much past who he is right now is unrealistic. He may have only started for one year, but he will be 27 years old before the start of this season. Taylor was forced to waste the early stages of his career as a backup because of his style of play. The narrative that he took major strides forward is tough to swallow because he was showing off the traits that are the foundation of his skill set right now back during his first preseason in the league. What should be comforting to Bills fans is that he doesn't need to develop any further to be a quality starting quarterback. He can be an above-average starter so long as his athleticism remains close to where it was in 2015. Did that sound like something overly positive? Is that last line in any way really inaccurate, even for the biggest Taylor detractors? And what the hell do you mean the website doesn't analyze it just charts and how is that any different from what Fahey does? Fahey analyzes and charts every single QB the exact same way that website does. If you mean there's no subjectivity to that website, you're just plain wrong. You need to judge whether a ball is catchable or uncatchable. The website does exactly the same thing Fahey does and it has different results, which I think is interesting. I'm sure neither is 100% accurate and the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle, as it so typically does, like with this Tyrod Taylor debate.

Thanks for this

So this is the general narrative about Fahey. I'm genuinely curious as to why? You don't agree with him, so discredit him? Have you watched every single snap of every single QB from 2016 and years prior? He has. I think he's built up enough credibility at this point that if this were just a sham, he'd be an incredible con artist who should be working in Vegas instead. I think he's written one article about Taylor in the two years he's played for Buffalo, and if you actually read what he says, he talks about shortcomings often. That website you linked I can just as easily dismiss based off of the fact that it says Buffalo receivers only dropped 11 passes. I watched all the games. I watched passes multiple times. I definitely saw more than 11 drops. Funny, I called the discrepancy interesting, you dismiss One of them completely. Wildly interesting difference in mentality there
