Wow... what a stark contrast from Bang's post right above yours, which respectfully acknowledges disagreement. You, instead, choose to continue being a tool. So disappointing, though not unexpected.

Nothin but love here from me... Bang and I are old friends Fair enough. I've explained plenty of times why I disagree so I won't beat that horse again today

At 22, which is essentially in line with his Passer Rating. Total Qbr tries to measure more than just completion %, YPA and TD/INT ratio though. I think it's too early to say for Mariota and Winston. They're about the same length into their careers as NFL starters as Taylor and we just need more time to determine what they really are, similar to Taylor. Though I'll say that I really like Mariota a LOT and strongly advocated trading up to get him in the draft. Those other, more established guys, no, Taylor's not better, but that doesn't mean he won't be.

Old School is a pretty obvious and clear anTy guy. Based on the poster, sure seems like he thinks those numbers reflect negatively on Taylor. I'll gladly apologize about what I said if Old School comes to explain what he believes he's enlightening us with by revealing those numbers and it's something not negative, though Now you're being a douche... Boo!

RB impersonating a QB... Good God... Crusher at his finest... or worst...

You're making it seem like that's horrible when it's not, especially given the low attempts and, therefore, the higher efficiency on those throws. Also the fact that both of those guys played multiple games with, at times, near debilitating injuries.

Well, hard to hide for some of us I guess...

Pretty easy to figure out how true rumors are based on what unfolds. I never absolutely dismiss what the media says. I just always take it with a grain of salt, varying in size. It's especially easy to be skeptical when you get wildly varying reports. But after the fact it's not so difficult to figure out the accuracy of the reports. Remember this? Look, another fan! Insightful post, as usual

Nah. Not something I'll do right now. Completely understand the methodology, the point largely was the impact of the game on the team's average and how it was out of the general norm. But 15 other teams had starters miss games (or be benched) in 2016, so if you look up NE, IND, ARI, PIT, OAK, MIN, DEN, Chicago, CAR, MIA, TEN, CLEV, LA, NYJ, and SF, you'll have your answer quickly

And I don't think getting rid of at least the last Jets game is remotely unreasonable.

Blah blah blah. Do I actually need to explain why, in hindsight, those media reports appear credible? It's not an all or nothing thing. Why do people here succumb so easily to extremes? You seem like a smart person... I'm sure you actually understand how naive it is to restrict anyone to your own absolute and rigidly defined ideologies. You should stop doing it. Just trying to be helpful.

Okay, but the Patriots also had the #1 scoring Defense in the NFL and were #8 in yards... also quite relevant to this discussion Why? I didn't remotely respond to what Rodak even said because I didn't read it, so if I'm "exposed" because I chose to not read or respond to an issue brought up by a writer I generally don't like, then I guess you're right, but maybe this would be a more congenial place if more posters took that approach

Aside from the last Jets game and the 1st 2 games after which Buffalo decided to get rid of Roman, who they were reportedly considering cutting ties with after 2015, the Bills were middle of the league in TOP and 3 & out %. In fact, Buffalo lost 6 games in that 13 game stretch and in 4 of those 6 losses Buffalo won TOP and in 3 of those 6 games Buffalo had a better 3rd down %, including 1 individual 200 yard rusher and giving up an 18 point lead and allowed 29 points to be scored in a game.

Really excellent point. Wouldn't Buffalo have set some kind of record for fewest turnovers if not for the Manuel/Jones debacle?

I don't know. I didn't read what he wrote because he's a douche and I don't want to click the link and contribute to his living.

And how many of the games Sammy's played with Taylor has he been fully healthy? And still amassing that production...? Honestly, I just can't believe people are acting like it's Sammy getting the short end of the stick here.

So you think that if Sammy plays a full 16 games healthy and the Bills have a top 10 defense with Taylor they're likely to miss the playoffs...? Hell they almost made the playoffs under that exact scenario with EJ Manuel and Kyle Orton at the helm.

Sure, it could be argued that way, true. But it's not like Sammy Watkins was some well-established vet in the NFL who's proven he can be an Elite WR. I love the guy's talent, but he's been massively underwhelming in the NFL based on expectations. Still, it's notable that Sammy has split time almost exactly evenly between Taylor and the combo of Orton/Jones/Manuel with 19 games under Taylor (1 of those being a 1 catch 1st quarter injury in Miami in 2015 and out) and 18 under those other guys. 1398 yards, 73.6 yards per game, 17.5 yards per catch 1061 yards, 58.9 yards per game, 14.5 yards per catch ​And sure, you could argue EJ and Jones really skew those numbers, and they do because Sammy did better with Orton. But he still only averaged 65 yards per game... 8 yards less than Taylor. The point is not that Taylor is great or those guys are great measures. They point is you talk about Sammy as though he's some well established superstar... as though Sammy obviously was much more critical to Taylor's success than vice versa and I think it's awfully presumptuous to say that.

Why are you being such a baby? I've limited my Tyrod discussion mainly to this thread alone, which is one of 2 threads I've started on the subject of Tyrod. You literally post all the same types of posts all the time that are full of complete hot air opinion. I'm fine with your position on the subject, but why do you jump into discussion if you don't even try to have a reasonable, intelligent discussion? Mike Rodak's a douche... just putting that out there

Sammy played 19 total games with Taylor... and he was injured for a good number of them. Despite that, in those 19 games, Sammy racked up 1400 yards despite leaving after his very first catch in the 1st Miami game last year and playing nearly half his other games injured. If Sammy is traded, it's because we can get something for him and he's an injury waiting to happen or not even fully healed.

Flirting... aww shucks, and here I thought we were already an item...

It could be, sure. But you make it seem like it obviously is when it isn't. All those explanations you replied to are reasonable. Dude, just think of how much our last regime invested in a guy who's missed this many games in his first 3 years in the NFL? You're acting like this all clearly goes back to Tyrod and calling other people nearsighted for not seeing that... kinda ridiculous. Has no bearing is different from what they think of him in this case I think. It's going to impact Taylor BUT That doesn't mean Taylor would be part of that decision, which seems like it's going to be much more of a business decision than Football decision. And if that's the case, Foxx is saying that demonstrates faith in Tyrod... strange days a comin... I got it. I don't really care. I don't think you're malicious in your posting the way some posters are, which is why I put up with you

I dunno... maybe they're saying we really want a certain level of QB who doesn't need a great WR to be successful so Tyrod, you think you're that guy and we think you might be but aren't spending more than this year to decide that, so here's your chance to prove it. That's not me saying I think that's the level of QB Taylor is.

There's the man I know and love

What do you think it says? You're really going into right field with this anti-Tyrod stuff... kinda strange considering the level-headed poster you typically are...
