  1. The media love affair continues. I just don't get it.

     

    Never mind that he ranks near the bottom of the league in TD's and yards every single year.

    I dunno, Meanie, color me skeptical of this argument.  The Bills did indeed have a stout D, some of the time. 

    But I'm thinking most of the teams in our "Team Defense" neighborhood of "meh" are in the same boat - some good games, bunch of average games, 2-6 games where they got blown out. 

     

    I don't think you can argue that Taylor benefited from defense above average in not having to score as many points as the other QB, when the team D falls below average on points

    (18/32)

     

    Taylor is average some of the time, and below average most of the time. And a few games where he is terrible.

    If we were the Jags, there'd be countless threads like "Blake Bortles still can't throw for 300 yards! We're never going to win with him!"

     

    That's because Bortles sucks. Their entire offense is designed so that he is as small a factor as possible.

     

    If the Jags win the Superbowl, I bet they still try to find a new QB. If the Bills would have won the Superbowl, I bet they would too.

     

    Because both QB's are not good enough. You want a guy to rely on, not a guy to avoid.

    Personally, I think the O Line has been very good for the past 3+ years.  My concern is age/effectiveness.  Incognito and Wood, specifically.

     

    They have been a pretty good run blocking line, but not very good in pass blocking. Yes, Taylor has had the most time to throw, but I attribute that to his mobility and escaping the pocket.

     

    Peterman got fed to the wolves when he started. He had no time to throw.

    He does take really good care of his body - if he wants to keep playing and continues playing at a high level I say let him.  I'd actually consider extending him to lower the cap hit this year if he plans on playing in 2019.  

     

    If the coaches think Groy is not a drop off, I would consider that, but I am against the idea of cutting a pro bowl starter just to save the cap space, considering we are not incredibly tight on space right now . We aren't the browns.

     

    We need to keep our talent that has bought in to the new culture. Haven't seen a drop off in his  play yet. Besides, we can always ask him to restructure.

    The Pegula's need to tell there kids to shut up, AGAIN! It comes to a point where telling sources insider info whether true or smokescreen become hurtful and more so embarrassing to the organization. Kim, I hope you are listening.

     

    It doesn't hurt a thing. The only thing that matters is what happens on the football field.

    the losing team of the previous year's Super Bowl will not make it back to the big game.

     

    Not since the 1993 Buffalo Bills has an NFL team managed to get back. And as we know, they accomplished that feat three times in a row.

     

    Once again, time has proven to be very kind to the AFC dynasty of the 1990's.

     

    Can't have a dynasty unless you win the big game.

    So using your criteria and stats posted.....

     

    Percentage of times teams found a decent Qb in 

     

    1) Top 10 draft picks                                        45%             (teams decided they absolutely MUST have this qb)           

    2) Round 1 - picks 11-32                                  18%             (teams decided they want the guy but won't trade up hardcore with first picks for him)

    3) All round 1 picks combined                        34%             

    4) Rounds 2 and 3 combined                          18%             (teams think guy might make a franchise QB, but serious question marks)

    5) Rounds 4-5                                                       8%             (unlikely to become Franchise guy soon but take a shot because he has enough upside chance)

     

     

    Fun interpretation:

    Based on these odds it makes sense for the Bills to trade down with both of their first round picks so that they have at least 3 first round picks next year.    Odds are they get a guy because 34% each guy drafted.

     

    Or:

     

    Take both first round QB's this year.   If you don't hit, take one in the first next year.

     

    Or

     

    Take one first rounder this year.

     

    If you don't hit, take one first rounder next year.

     

    If you don't hit there, take one first rounder the following year.

     

    Whoever came up with the idea of taking a QB in the first every year until you hit on one is a genius.

     

    Nope. It takes you at least 3 years to know if you have a good QB or not, so if you take a bunch year after year how do you evaluate them?

     

    It's not Madden. You can't see their stats right after the draft.
