I'm with the OP
I don't give a damn about next season yet.
A CHANCE...WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET IN
I WANT TO GET EXCITED ABOUT WILD-CARD WEEKEND.
I'm tired of the not good enough, blah blah blah. Get in, end the drought, have some excitement around a playoff game. Anyone hoping we don't make it or depressed into thinking it's a loss before it happens shouldn't be watching sports. ANYTHING can happen. Period.

I don't really want Taylor in that "mentor" role -- as far as learning how to be a professional, film study, diligence, commitment, etc... he'd be perfect in that regard, there is no question about that. I really like Tyrod as an individual and as a pro. It doesn't get much better than him.
The problem is that his overall game relies primarily on things that athletically only he is capable of, and his perspective on the passing game is severely limited by the fundamental things he can't do. I just don't think he'd be a very good candidate to teach a rookie how to run a high-powered passing attack.This ^^^^

If McDermott brings in utter garbage like Matt's Cassell or Schaub to start/mentor the 3rd or 4th best QB prospect in the draft...........start vetting offensive minded HC candidates for McD's replacment because the process will turn from Jauron Ball into the most boring tank team ever.
Josh McCown's health was an aberration this year........he's been solid when healthy for the past few years but 39 years old in 2018 and broken down.
Alex Smith is a lateral move from Tyrod, doesn't appear to be at the point in his career where he is interested in mentoring a successor and will cost you a healthy contract in addition to eating Tyrod's dead money AND also cost you draft capital.
They are in yet another really precarious position wrt QB options going into this offseason which makes the "anyone but Tyrod" movement even more laughable. Not exactly a destination gig being the QB in Buffalo. Hell McCown might even turn them down AGAIN.......that's how they got Tyrod in the first place.
Those guys aren't who I'd want on the field, but with a clipboard and a presence in the QB meeting rooms. I'd take them every single day of the week over Tyrod in mentoring a rookie QB, just based on Tyrod doesn't do the things we want to be taught. When to throw it away, reading a defense pre-snap etc. Tyrod isn't good at these things at all.

IF and I think it's more of a WHEN we draft a QB this year.
I believe it's best for the Franchise to just move completely away from TT.
I don't think he's the guy I want the rookie learning from, bring in a savvy veteran type, the backup guy whose hung around for 15years because he understand concepts, reads etc, just can't execute or is weak armed or something.
Seriously, I'd rather the rookie learning from a far less physically gifted QB if that guy is far superior in the X and O's.
Bring in Josh McCown, Alex Smith, Matt Cassel, Matt Schaub, are all better options than Tyrod for a guy to learn from.
Tyrod is so unique of a talent, he can't teach guys things.

So out of everything referenced you point to the AGG stat? Really? It's a useful metric WHEN TAKING INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING ELSE. On its own, it doesn't give any sort of picture on how a QB plays, but in conjunction with EVERYTHING ELSE it really highlights Taylor's abilities.
The point of this post was to put all the stuff we see on the field, along with the stats, to explain his deficiencies and issues. You can pick any ONE thing and try to single it out, but that's not the point. That's why when people point to "he's efficient!" with his limited passes, I show that throwing short of the sticks, averaging low YPA, dumping off to RBs, below average completion percentage, etc. disproves that.This stat has nothing to do with short of the chains etc. It's literally "Aggressiveness tracks the amount of passing attempts a quarterback makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. AGG is shown as a % of attempts into tight windows over all passing attempt"
I'm picking this one stat, because you singled it out as he's 32nd!!! Like that's a bad thing with this stat and it's really not. Top of the list guys tend to be crap quarterbacks with tons of interceptions and known for poopy play.
I agree with you, it's time to move one. We don't need to falsify and claim bad stats to prove it either.
It's not his AGG% that's the problem, we can see that watching the games or any game not involving Tyrod.
It's is inability to hit guys in the "pockets" between defenders when they are open. This has nothing to do with the AGG% stat.
-
I've supported and cheered for Tyrod and still will until he's no longer a Bill, but I'm ready for a new quarterback.
But let's not spew riduculousness
-To further highlight this point, there is a metric called "Aggressiveness/AGG%" where Tyrod is ranked 32nd. Aggressiveness rating is defined as "the amount of passing attempts a QB makes that are into tight coverage, where there is a defender within 1 yard or less of the receiver at the time of completion or incompletion. AGG is shown as a % of attempts into tight windows over all passing attempts."
He's in the same area range in that stat as the top QB's...If you are near the top of the AGG% board, you are a most likely a TERRIBLE QB.
This tight window BS is ridiculous, you want QB hitting OPEN receivers. You shoudn't need to force throws into tight windows anymore than 15-18% of the time. Anything above that is terrible decisions, poor receiver seperation and bad schemes.
2016 https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing/2016/all
He's in the same area of the chart as the Brees, Roesthlesberger, Rodgers, Brady's of the world...
2017 https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing/2017/all
Again same are of the chart as the top QB's
Tyrod doesn't throw to guys who are open in the seams or on the outside is the issue.
This stat does not show thatIt's not tight windows per se, it's the into space windows. He can't hit a TE with passes over a LB head and before the Safety in the seams, anticipation throw into the window.
The window is large, it's just there for a limited amount of time. It's all being ON TIME with the BALL
Last thing I want is a QB forcing throw after throws into coverage. Unless it's to Benjamin (who we've not had very long) no receiver on this team has shown ANY ability to catch a contested ball ever.

I'm going completely opposite;
Here is THE DREAM scenario
Ravens win out - Finish 10-6
Chiefs win out - Finish 10-6
Titans win out - Finish 11-5
Steelers win out - Finish 14-2
Jaguars go 2-1 - Finish 11-5
Patriots Lose out - Finish 10-6
Bills win out - Finish 10-6
Bills win AFC East with Tie Breakers over the Pats
Titans win AFC South with Tie Breakers over The Jags
Ravens claim 6th seed with tie breakers over the Pats
Patriots MISS playoffs ENTIRELY
Steelers and Titans get Byes
Wild-Card Games
Ravens @ Bills (Bills win)
Jaguars @ Chiefs(Jags win)
Divisional Round
Bills @ Titans (Bills win - reverse the Music City Miracle)
Jags @ Steelers ( Jags win)
AFC Championship
Jags @ Bills (Marrone and Dareus Return)
Like I said - DREAM SCENARIO

You do realize this "their system" is total BS, right? Successful OCs adapt their system to the skills of their players and to their opponent. Or they are not successful. Period.
Playbooks are thick. Even if a guy wants to run a specific system as far as terminology, route trees, etc he can choose from it plays that will suit the skills of his players and successfully create mismatches with his opponent. Failure to do so is failure as an OC. I'm getting a theme "it's OK to make excuses for the OC but not the QB"?
Example: here is an article about the NE Pats** offense under Josh McDaniels (OC effectively 2005, 2006-2008, 2012-present) . TL;DR the Pats** change the offense to go around the skill sets of the players they have that season, and even the opponents they have that game. It's why they win with Cassel, Garoppolo, and Brisset.
Expecting that an OC who WON'T change his approach game by game and season by season to create mismatches, will somehow win, is simply unrealistic.That right there is nail on the head.
Dennison has shown ZERO ability to create mismatches, get players in positions that best suit the talents they do have.
As an OC, you can't run the same "plays" with Tolbert in the game as you do with Shady, but Dennison does.
You CAN run the same alignment, movement, etc, but the actual playcall needs to be suited to the player in the game.

looks like jm2009 has a second account. Noone has ever mentioned that but Captain Agenda himself.
Tell us how EJ injured every WR this season (going over the middle) I'll hang up and listen now.
LMAO, definitely not whomever the heck jm2009 is..
I couldn't tell you any of that, didn't watch EJ play this season.
EJ used to do it fairly frequently, if you remember it or not is of no concern of mine

I'm a fan of Tyrod.
I'm a fan of limited turnovers
I'm a fan of his exciting plays
I'm a fan of not killing wide receivers (remember EJ)
I'm a fan of not throwing picks forcing everything when behing (remember Fitz)
I'm a fan of giving all you have (remember Orton sliding on 2yrds short of sticks on 4th down)
I'm a fan in the way he handles all the BS he's been through with absolute class.
I'm a fan of Tyrod
Yes, he has limitations. EVERYONE has limitations. I'm not focused on what he "CAN'T" do and I focus on what HE CAN do. What he CAN DO isn't terrible, it's way better than what we've had and could be way better than his replacement. It could be worse, I for one and tired of the WORSE. I don't want to go back to the WORSE.
-
The player isn't a bust. He's a serviceable player right now.
Was he drafted too high for his play? (so far) - Absolutely.
That's not on the player, he's not a bust, that a busted pick, that's on Whaley.
Fans may expect more from him because he was a "1st" rounder, that's not exactly fair. That's on the scouts and GM for poor evaluation on his potential impact.
So yes, to answer the OP question. He's a first round bust (currently) -that's on Whaley

I literally LOL'ed that a FB in the NFL is *not* a skill player and he shouldn't be able to catch passes.
You could be the greatest defense attorney America has ever seen.
You mean the FB position that has been eliminated by most teams in the league to get more "SKILLED" players on the field and spread things out?
That's skilled to you?
Wait a second?
Is that you RICO?
-
Everyone keeps tossing that first INT on DiMarco...
1. It hit his hands should catch it- this applies to SKILL PLAYERS
2. DiMarco IS NOT a SKILL player
3. That was a throw that needed touch, floated ahead of, not lasered at his forhead.
4. We can blame Dennison for having DiMarco on the field, but you need to recognize who you are throwing the ball too as well.
5. That WAS NOT ALL on DiMarco...he's not paid to catch passes (thankfully)

I don't even know how this is a question...
Seriously, does anyone believe Peterman gives the Bills a better chance at winning Sunday in Arrowhead? Really believe that? 5-5, still "in the hunt" Owe it to the players in the room that got sold on "win now and the future".
Tyrod Haters are like the Rico's and Rex's of the world, believe their is one way to play the game, their way. Only thing they know. If the QB doesn't play they way they believe the QB position should be played, they hate him. Tyrod has his warts for sure, but he's also proven to be capable of winning games, not losing games and directing a top-10 offense.
Stop trying to fit his round peg into your square closed mind. See the uniqueness of this talent and abilities. We should be building around his strengths, focusing on them, exact same as the OL needs to be running a scheme that fits their strength and down the line. Why Tyrod needs to fit a bad scheme for him because you haters feel that's the only way to play the position is mind boggling.

Tolbert not being able to play means I will not get mad at my TV when he gets split out wide on 3rd and long.

Nice! I was looking at going to this game for a couple years, then they moved to LA and screw that, I wanted to go to San Diego. Maybe they'll move back

First off, I have supported Taylor, just like I would support and hope for greatness out of any Quarterback we are playing at the time.
His play can be exciting and frustrating at the same time.
I believe he has merit as a starting quarterback in the league, he's better than some of the other chopped liver starting around the league
But for that success, he 100% needs a specific system designed for him, this in itself is a weakness.
I want my teams coaches to build systems around the skill set of the players and to draft/acquire players that fit the system they run. It's a double edged sword. The question becomes "Is this player GOOD enough to alter my system for?" Based on what we've seen, had tend to think this coaching staff doesn't believe Taylor is good enough to do that for.
So here we are starting the Peterman era?
I'm ANXIOUS to see him play in meaningful football, just like any new quarterback we've sent out there, MAYBE HE IS THE ONE?
Start to think about that, and the possibilities of him being the one and I get super EXCITED.
I'm also TERRIFIED for the possibility that he stinks the joint up.
What happens if he's terrible and we lost bad the next few weeks and offense is putrid? How are the players in the room going to handle this? Tyrod seems to be respected in that room, has a few very strong supporters. How does the "PROCESS" look if a move this HUGE backfires?
This is more than a QB change, the entire "buying in" to the process is being put to the test right here and now. Veteran players see themselves at 5-4 right now, in a playoff spot. A spot many have never seen, this backfires on McDermott and I'm not sure how he's going to keep the doubt from forming in his own room.
I'm hoping for the best, not only for Peterman and this season, but for this staff.
9-games in and in my eyes this coaching staff just made the move that will decide if this regime will be here for the "process" to work. This backfires and it's a tough road back.

If I see Tolbert lined up wide again, I might smash my TV

Ducasse IS THE starting RG, I'm pretty sure he's not being cut for a comp. pick...
Debate his ability and his merit as the starting RG all you want, but as long as he is that starter. This is a non-discussion

gug likes to see how much he can get under ones skin and he succeeded so far with you. unless you have been lurking and knew that before you joined or not, you have been warned.
as for glen, they need to move on from him and his $65 million contract. at 28 and with those ankle injures they could dump him and find a replacement for less money through fa or the draft?
I have been lurking for a bit

I don't care. He's paid enough to play through injury, regardless of the severity.
You sir are a clown
1. You have no idea the severity
2. Ankle/Feet are crucial to his stability and his ability to hold his ground against the rushers and push off to block for shady
3. This opinion is useless and needs to back in the cave
