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

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.

I spun 10x Rick Dennison Rick Dennison Lack of Talent Rush Defense Rookie Head Coach Reliance on Turnovers Lack of Talent Rick Dennison Lack of Talent Rick Dennison The wheel seems to think it's Lack of Talent and Rick Dennsion, I'm going to combine the two and blame on Rick Dennison's Lack of Talent to playcall. 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

only if he's sent out wide

I have been lurking for a bit I do know know all the yet sadly

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

worthless comment

Franchise Quarterback is the stupidest moniker in sports The bar for what equates to a "franchise QB" is different for everyone. Some guys believe only guys who are Franchise QB's are no doubt sure-fire Hall of Fame guys I can't get on that bus, sure it would be fantastic to have another Hall of Fame QB, but I hate to break to people, but they don't exactly grow on trees. Tyrod has done enough to warrant keeping around as the starting QB, he's not out there making bonehead plays costing the team victories. He is still progressing and getting better. If people want to admit it or not, the growth is right in front of us. More throws over the middle, less fleeing the pocket early, more hitting guys in stride. All these things are clear every week. Is he perfect? heck no...but no QB is. I see Tom Brady overthrow receivers, lead guys too far, not hit them in stride each and every pass. No QB does it every throw. Tyrod makes enough throws to see the ability is there, the more he has played, the more consistent is has gotten. Just open the eyes and watch. This is just his 3rd year starting, don't give me the 7yr vet crap...what did he do his first 4 years except get rusty sitting behind Flacco. Flacco didn't get hurt or miss games or practices. This wasn't the Brett Favre, Rodgers case, where Rodgers pretty much took the majority of practice reps every week because Brett was banged up and hurt and couldn't practice. You can learn only learn so much on a clipboard. Timing, anticipation aren't those things, those take game reps, full speed game reps. He's been getting better at these constantly.
