You're fighting ghosts, bro. Nobody really gives a ****.

Aaaaaaaand 2 pages. Took longer than I thought for somebody to randomly inject some political BS, must be the holiday.

May have been said, but I think the key point that's missing in your original post is that a lot of his team mates are fueling the media fawning, which I feel contradicts your final point. For example, Peter King expectedly dedicated like 500 words to Kyle Williams in his article today, but it was largely fueled by an interview that he had with Incognito after last night's game where Richie gushed about Kyle to the point of calling him "The Buffalo Bill", or something to that extent. There are other examples of this.

Lifelong. He hasn't played in 4 years more importantly.

Been saying this. He was in concussion protocol like a year ago but should be good to go. 31, but more like 29 in running back years at this point. I think he'd definitely be an upgrade over Tolbert and Murphy, and he has more experience than Banyard.

If there's any truth to any of this then it just makes Dennison sound clinically paranoid. I'm going to move to the sidelines because that guy who I think is a beer vendor won't stop looking at me and the soap dish won't stop laughing at me...

What's the current beer vendor get up? Like a smock and a hat? How do we even know this guy is a beer vendor...

James Starks

I actually think that there are like 10-15 teams in need of a good QB, and something like 25 when you open it up to depth. The NFL QB landscape is not what it was even 2-3 years ago, and even that excitement about young QBs at the time was largely based on Kaepernick and RG3 who aren't doing **** right now. Kizer flopped, Trubisky likely will flop, Watson I hope for the best but could flop due to injury. Fans need to realize how difficult it is to find even legit serviceable QBs and Tyrod checks that box, despite the fact that he so irritatingly hovers around that box, but he's legit. Josh McCown and Jay Cutler started for division rivals, folks. Keep Tyrod.

Bet the franchise on Rick Mirer Jr. 15 interceptions to 13 tds. in year 2! Yikes. Gimme Tyrod.

He's creeping. The Peterman interrupt threw his stock into disarray, but the talking heads are coming back around. Look I'm just playing devil's advocate based primarily on non-Buffalo media, but he's now a 28 year old playoff QB with what, 40-50 starts under his belt? He's a commodity at minimum, and a QB to build around if you're feeling frisky.

I just hope they don't get fleeced. He's not in the future but he clearly has value.

Which one of these is not like the others? Tyrod Taylor is in the playoffs. Think what you will. Mariotta is going to set Tennessee back for the next decade, by the way.

yes? Mariotta Winston Carr DAK nyet

I think it's changing on a daily basis. If he's on the block then his value certainly increased today, and will only go up if he has a good showing in the playoffs. If he wins? Man, we better rethink everything, and if we do try to trade him, minimum 3rd rounder? Really tough to say and I'm shooting from the hip, but look at some of the starting QBs in this league. Mariotta took a huge step back this year, so did Winston, Miami's still rolling with Tannehill? Is Minnesota just system? Etc. etc. etc. Somebody is going to pay for Tyrod.

I fully support this. Smart, 28 year old playoff/probowl QB that ended the drought and seemingly commands the locker room? Sign me up. Will grow with him.

He's moonwalking into top 15 territory. Easy.

Tyrod Taylor is stastically, a fine starting QB in the NFL. The entire world knows this and has been telling us for two years. But a bunch of armchair forum fans scream that he doesn't pass the eye test because he's not John Elway. OK, let's see what happens. Now he's in the playoffs. In the playoffs at 28 years old by the way, which is meaningful. I want to keep the guy - I don't get why any sane, rational football fan can hate him all things considered. Yes, I've watched him too.

Didn't cry, but was at a stuffy dinner thing and "went to the bathroom" to text friends and watch highlights for about 15 minutes.

I love him, man. Probowl and now playoff QB. He's frustrating beyond belief but he's still young and has shown a lot in these last few weeks. I'm on board with drafting somebody new and fully know that this relationship can no longer really work regardless of any outcome, but damn, Tyrod might be leading other teams to playoffs for years. He's a leader.

Increased trade value if nothing else. Genuine, mutual respect upon parting ways hopefully. Best Bills QB in nearly two decades, would be great if he'd accept a potentially reduced role but it won't happen, somebody will want him. Imagine Tyrod in a Case Keenum role with the Vikings this year...sheesh. Interest went up today and will skyrocket if he wins a playoff game.

James Starks if we end up in a pinch. Know he's been in concussion protocol for like a year but should be ready to go.

my bad, dude. thought your comment was a swipe against the current regime. apologies and and a Happy New Year!

I hear you loud and clear. It's okay to be emotional and excited. I'm a lifelong Bills fan in my late 30's - this is a big day. Real fans know this. I've been hearing how I should doubt this QB, and this coach, and all of the coaches for that matter, and the entire personnel in general really all year, but now it's a clean slate and it's the playoffs. THE MOTHERF***ING PLAYOFFS. Marcus Murphy might be my favorite RB of all time next month for all I care, this is the squad I've always cheered for, regardless of players (although the Shady injury is terrifying, he's incredible and we need him). It is what is though, trust the process. It worked. We're in the playoffs. The process f**ing works. Super cool with playing the Jags as well. Give me a young team prone to emotion that may have even less overall experience than this team. This could get special, be excited.

If ever there was a time to jump on the bandwagon, it's now Domdab. You're a fan and the window's still open. We may start pushing fools off by the time the AFC Championship rolls around.
