Name 15 NFL QBs that a GM would trade you straight up for Taylor, right now.

What statistics are you looking at? By every statistical measure, he's not a good starting NFL QB.

Ok, name 15 NFL QBs that a GM would trade straight up for Tyrod Taylor, right now.

Pretty much any QB that can throw the football accurately presently in the NFL or draft eligible.

I never said we wouldn't make the playoffs with the guy. I've just maintained that he was in the 30-35 range as far as NFL QBs go. Backup QBs have made the playoffs in the past. But regardless, TT gets full marks from me for being the QB of the Bills team that finally broke through.

No. Thank. You. Happy for him, he's carved out a nice little place for himself in Buffalo sports history... but I'll really enjoy seeing him miss open receivers and airmail deep throws out of bounds on any team other than Buffalo next season.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... let's slow down a bit there

But I have to give credit to the man. Thank you, TT -- you've earned a very special spot in Buffalo sports history.

You need to win one game. It's not against the Miami Dolphins. Who gets the start?

Just pointing it out for everyone here on the bus chuckling at the Dolphins for putting a QB who was drafted in the 6th round out there today. Also, lest us not forget that this franchise has a knack for pulling breakout debut performances and career games out of unknown opponents.

This should be tattooed on the forehead of every politician in the country.

Are we still evaluating the Bills 2011 6th round quarterback?

Is it really though? Remember, we're talking about "viable", not "ideal" or even "good". Tyrod Taylor is responsible for creating a crisis at the most important position on the field. There is no argument against that. There is no BS obscure stat that can excuse it. He was terrible against the Saints. The offense was terrible as a result. It also wasn't the first time this year that he has run the offense right into the ground. So yes, even ol' Joe Webb became a "viable" option at the position... because he has taken NFL snaps before and the production couldn't really get much worse than 56 passing yards and a FG. That is what Taylor had done to the Bills passing game and offense as a whole at that point in the season. Joe Webb also happens to have playoff experience as a starting QB in the NFL, as I'm sure you probably know. Taylor does not have that, by the way. I had to look it up, but interestingly enough, his stat line from that playoff start should look awfully familiar.... 11/30 180 yards 1TD and 1INT. Around here, there are guys who are ready to put a bust of you in Canton for putting up 180 and a TD. Let's also give JW credit for taking the wheel in a historic blizzard and leading the Bills to a win that will go down as one of the most memorable ever at the Ralph. At the end of the day though, he's not a good QB. He probably shouldn't ever take another snap. So yes, I will absolutely claim that after Tyrod's multiple abysmal performances this year, culminating with the 56'er he put up against NO... all options at QB became "viable", even Joe Webb. That's what happens when things get desperate.

A+ trolling right there. I actually respect this. Well done, my good man.

The point here is that literally anything is a viable alternative to Tyrod Taylor, the guy rolling the worst passing offense in football.

Flaws? Tyrod Taylor can't run a modern passing NFL offense. That's a pretty big flaw. As for NP, He's far more accurate with better mechanics and anticipation than Taylor. Better decision making will come with experience. I would expect an 8 year pro to be ahead of a 5th round rookie in this aspect of the game. As for arm strength, Taylor can most likely throw it much further over the head of the receiver or out of bounds than Peterman can. So you've got me there.

The kid has looked completely fine in his other appearances, including stepping into an all-time blizzard and running the offense better than Taylor has for much of the season. He deserves credit for that, especially after the disaster in LA. The truth of the matter is that while Peterman is far from a world-beating NFL QB at this point, Taylor hasn't really done anything to take 2 out of the picture. I'd rather watch the kid go out and throw 5 INTs trying to make a play rather than Tyrod out there tolberting us for 4 quarters with 60 yards and a FG to show for it. Also, even Joe Webb is a viable alternative to Tyrod Taylor. That's how poor our starting QB situation currently is.

Keeping Tyrod in after throwing for 56 yards and scoring only 3 points at home would have been even worse. Taylor has had multiple very poor performances this year. The guy needed to sit and a change needed to be made. Taylor is a glorified backup. You are acting like McDermott benched 1988 Joe Montana.

He went back to sucking again.

Ok, that last throw was FILTHY.

You forgot to mention that Davante Adams also has 22 Rec TDs over the past 2 seasons, which is #1 over that time span. Funny how things like that are omitted. He also put up 997 and 885 receiving yards. Yes, not quite 1000, but it's not the "Tyrod Special" 407 that the Bills WRs are putting up this year. Anyway, strangely enough -- there are only 3 WRs with 20+ TDs over the past 2 seasons. Adams, and then Antonio Brown and Jordy Nelson, who are both tied at 20. Adams is worth $14M a year. Especially to lock him up with Nelson & Rodgers for the foreseeable future. But If you add Tyrod's rushing TDs, Sammy would totally have probably made that list too for '14 & '15!

Kid looks pretty bad. I would probably look bad too if I knew I was at risk for being drafted by the Cleveland Browns.

Serious question: If you were to ask Watkins and Woods who they would prefer to play with as their QB -- Goff or Taylor, who do you think they would choose?

Montana to Rice.... Kelly to Reed.... Manning to Harrison and Wayne... Aikman to Irvin.... Taylor to Watkins. When you're right, you're right my friend.
