I'm repeating myself but so are you LOL: Why would you want to get rid of the best QB on your roster??? Yes he's no "franchise quarterback" but unless the Bills sign one, and that could be next year as it could be 20 years later, I just don't see the point of losing him! You keep your best players based on results vs salary cap and other factors. Is he among the Top 10 in the league? Nope. But he's by far the best here in a long while. Right on target (no INT)

Aikman's offensive coordinator from 1991 to 1993 -- will tell you he's never seen a quarterback as accurate as this guy. I've read many times that accuracy is the best thing to look for in a QB, as strangely, even if working on throwing motions, footwork and all, it seems the guy has it or don't once in the NFL. And ouch at Alex Smith's debut! Not NP level but close!

Conspiracy or not, we all can agree Mills did indeed NOT block on that play.

All this discussion about tanking sure indicates the NFL should do like the NHL and have a form of "draft lottery". You're not supposed to be rewarded too much for losing!

Besides the Eagles, which of these teams are Superbowl favorites? They are on the way up.. compared to the ugly place they were. Is it in an improvement? Hell yeah! But a guarantee for being a constantly dominant team? Nope. And they tanked for a few seasons, not just one. And oh let's forget the Browns and other 0-16 teams of the last 10 years. All powerhouses for years to come now, right? My point is, as you still don't get it: tanking does NOT guarantee a return to greatness! And so far, it's your ONLY magical solution. Recall that Bill Bellichick hire and drafting Tom Brady with pick #199, a compensatory pick, in the sixth round? They needed to tank completely for that to happen?

All winning teams this year have tanked in the previous 5? Pats, KC, Steelers, etc. All the 0-1-2-3-4 win teams from 2012-2016 are powerhouses now in the NFL? Besides the Jaguars that have really improved, Raiders last year, you got the Browns, etc. The issue has been awful awful draft choices combined with obvious bad positional coaching. Anyway, with 5 wins already, a true "tanking" is not to be unless they really lose out all the rest of the year. And if that happens, how could any of the coaches remain? The GM and scout team could, but not the rest.

Oh you got me there Vet with your awesome logic. I'm sold. Let's go for a real losing season, finally! Well, since they won 5 already, let's tank next year!

To you it's tanking or else it's "doing the same thing over and over"? Peterman was more of the same? All the HC, OC, DC and GM changes is more of the same? Yeah let's follow the Browns. Tanking seems to be a sure thing to win!

Better than to be swimming with the sharks. In all your threads you seem to imply the Bills need to lose out so they can finally pick that "franchise QB" in the draft. With so many Top 5 busts, and the Bills most likely picking 10-15th even if they only win 1-2 more, how can be so sure the current brass will magically make all the right picks?

I mentioned that if they did sign a Cousins / Luck /Alex Smith then yeah, they can cut him. Otherwise you have 2 rookies as your #1 & 2, your future draft pick and Peterman. Really? Remember the "Tyrod is a bridge QB"? That is still the case... and as of now that bridge leads to nowhere so better stay on it!

Don't get wrong, I fully agree with this. But he is under contract. He's no free agent. If the Bills do keep him at much higher payscale, that IS a show of commitment for once. I'm sure TT can get a QB spot elsewhere, but maybe not at the amount he's due to make next year.

Why? Because he's under contract, that's why! But the Bills brass better finally give him some love & respect! Hey, I agreed with the move, but after seeing EJ, Cardale and now Peterman, is there any doubt left that Tyrod is the #1 option? Yes, keep searching for that elusive franchise QB. But till then, embrace the best QB on your roster!

I don't get this POV. Since he's been here, Tyrod has been much better than all other QBs. And with EJ, Cardale, Peterman and most likely Webb, he's been better by a ton! They HAVE to keep him next year unless they sign a Luck or Cousins. Even if you supposedly draft Mr Savior competition is good. His pay next year takes a drastic upward jump, but it is still in line with what middle-of-the-pack QBs make in the NFL. Whoever is there they'll have to pay him! Not keeping him = tanking in 2018. Is that really what you guys want? Yeah yeah Tyrod is not a top tier QB, but he's by far the best on the roster! I don't get this obsession of getting rid of him when the others aren't even close to him.

What contradiction? Tyrod has not played great so far tis year, and had his most horrible game yet. And I get checkdowns unlike most people, but not while behind 2-3 TDs! In the end, the Peterman decision was a fiasco, but it shows beyond any doubt now, and everyone had them, that Tyrod is #1, period. And to have middle of the pack stats in a team with subpar talent again shows he's a starter. People on this board saying he's just a backup QB are haters. Or think everyone but Brady-Roger-Brees-Rivers and another couple few qualify as starters. Note: there are 32 teams in the league! Most starters are NOT elite. And while far from a savior franchise QB, Tyrod is the best QB here in a long while. To me that last game settled it. He's signed so can't go. Now the Bills' management should show him some LOVE until they dratf or sign the almighty franchise one (that make take decades BTW...)

He does contradict himself a lot. And as if Tyrod was racially discriminated against here! He was the starter wasn't he? It seems a recurring theme every time a Black GM, coach or player is demoted or fired: it's racial. *rolls eyes* No wonder people are reluctant to hire them! This doesn't help their cause at all. And the the league is full of Black QBs, and the media drools over them. The cold hard stats, which don't always tell the whole story but are used well here, do indicate Tyrod is a least average or slightly above, and well, so far no QB on this Bills team has ever come even close to beating him. Cardale, EJ, now Peterman? He's miles better than them. And when he came up and had the 3 QB open contests, he beat the other two. He solidified his place as #1. Now design schemes to his strengths dammit, as it should always had been! I agreed with the Peterman change. The team needed a spark. The management needed to know for 2018 and beyond. I think it's crystal clear: Tyrod is #1 in Buffalo, and should remain so for 2018! His salary will be big but on line with what a 12th-18th ranked QB earns in the NFL. No one so far has come up to oust him, not even close. Unless they get Cousins or whomever in the free market, Tyrod's the man!

This year illustrates how bad the drafts and trades have been from previous regimes. I'd say talent is the #1 issue. But come on, the schemes and coaching problems are also on full display as well. And Rex might have been a clown, but his players didn't quit on him at least! McD had his players focused & disciplined way more than Ryan, then something ha penned and we have these last 3 games...

Well, I can understand the feeling. The last 3 games have been the worst 3 game stretch ever. I will watch Sunday. But if that is also horrible, not as in a loss but in another horrible blowout, I'm done... for this year. I don't even watch other games this year and I used to.

Indeed. I remember that play vividly as well. I couldn't get why THIS time the play was to throw on first down after 3 picks and 6 DBs on the field! On the flip side, recall when Preston Brown totally knew the play after Rivers had called it? Rivers was pissed at Lynn, rightfully so. At least on the D side they can audible!

You're right. So we'll see about Beane. But McD? He lost a lot of feathers in the last 2 weeks!

Yep. Points #3 & #5 are what is totally baffling. I don't get it, you don't, and obviously... the coaches don't either! Tyrod showed how much he is needed, but so does Glenn IMO. While I like him, I thought he was vastly overpaid. Not anymore. The OL sucks without him.

Well, that's what changed since the 2nd blowout, and even more so after this one. Most of us, and I'm sure, most of the PLAYERS, now doubt the "process" too. McD and staff look like amateurs now. And while I like many have disliked Dennison and Castillo since week 1, we still trusted McD and Frazier. Who does today? I didn't think that there would be voices clamoring for a new coach or praising Rex this year! Yet here we are. And in all that, the Bills can STILL make the playoffs, as unlikely as it feels right now. The draft talk assumes that the Bills staff will select the right players. You trust them on this?

After a loss it's fair weather doom and gloom crybabies. But after THREE CONSECUTIVE BLOWOUTS how exactly is it supposed to be? All rosy and optimistic?

Now everybody piles it on... and the last 3 games sure indicates they're right. But if you didn't have these thought before, stop playing Mr Know-it-Alls. Who didn't think McD was quite an upgrade over Ryan? That maybe the Bills might have stuck gold with this coach? Now everything goes to the trash heap. I'm baffled. I mean we Bills fans have seem a lot of atrocious play the last 17 years, but these last 3 games beat them all. If Tyrod IS less conservative, at last, just maybe there is a way to squeak in the playoffs just yet. Forget about the drafts. There are so many holes, no way that "tanking" is the way

Having Shady who is a strength in the pass game as well as the run. A QB that can run. And seeing such little creativity... I want Dennison out more than anything. And Castillo.

And now Peterman has been crushed. He has no credibility with his teammates anymore. Talk about an horror outcome. Wow. He was the #2 and Tyrod can get injured! It'd be Joe Webb time?
