Feels like the Bills are declared Super Bowl Champs every offseason by message board fans. We dont sign guys its because we are so smart and building through the draft. We sign them and the GM is a genius. Dont make trades everyone knows trades never pan out. Make trades we are smarter than everyone.

It is pretty widely believed that this team has at or near the bottom in terms of WR talent.

Would people really be happy with ~180 yards passing? Thats what he averaged in his 3 starts.

Exactly

Why do I feel like I have gone down this road many times over the past ~20 years. Lets wait and see before we crown him king.

Exactly - why people think he was getting $20M is odd... Comparing his deal to Bradford and even Glennon makes no sense. Not only were they drafted higher but have actually been a starter in this league.

Funny on multiple accounts. 1) Good work Beane or bad work media? Beane getting credit for AJ not being worth as much as media seemed to think he would. Or Beane has special powers that convinced to walk away from millions to be in Buffalo. I think he was hyped up and reality is teams did not want to pay for a guy with just a handful of mediocre starts. 2) Calling Deal Cheap - if he is the starter and good its awesome deal. If he is a backup and never plays or back up that is no better than Joe Blow why even spend $10M on him. But I get that we needed someone as the backup cause everyone knows its not Peterman.

Can we just enjoy it and then celebrate when they actually do something? It makes it hard to enjoy when its always the in fighting of who is right and who is wrong. Reality is we dont know yet. We have been down this road and todays treasure could be tomorrows trash. We go trade up for #1 and draft Rosen (The FO is awesome) then he suckand is next R Leaf (this FO sucks and we are set back 500 years). Can we keep it to liking or not liking moves without the I told you so's?

Henne has thrown two passes since Sept of 2014...didnt complete either.

Do you really believe this?

And Taylor could have "basically won a playoff game" as well. And Tyrod was not playing at home, did not have an AJ Green or the 2nd best defense in the league.

Threw for 190, 200 and 160 in his three starts. Lets give him 15M per year. Tyrod gets run out of town for those numbers.

4. A GM and HC that appear to know what they are doing! If we are wrong on #4 the first three mean nothing. I would say the jury is still out. That Ravens / Bengals games turns out differently people would be feeling a lot different this offseason.

Always has been a class act and left it all on the field. Dont get the hate. He overachieved as a QB and helped this team overachieve. Dont be mad at Tyrod this team doesnt have a Rodgers or Brady.

AJ - former 5th round pick with 3 starts. Dont get the hype.

Go watch the Peterman and EJ Manuel games. That will remind you how much worse you can get than Tyrod.

Lets see who they bring in before the celebration. I am not sure if people were not here yet or have memory loss but QB play can be much worse than Tyrod. I have never been for going all in on Tyrod but until you have a better option I do think he is a QB that can win games. Especially for a team that has minimal weapons. I dont think any QB could have done much better with the roster the Bills had last year on the offensive side of the ball.

So much more to the comparison of college stats between guys. Look at the list below of top 20 passing seasons. How many of these guys had good NFL careers? https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/leaders/pass-yds-player-season.html 1 B.J. Symons* 5833 2003 Texas Tech 2 Graham Harrell* 5705 2007 Texas Tech 3 Case Keenum* 5671 2009 Houston 4 Case Keenum* 5631 2011 Houston 5 Colt Brennan* 5549 2006 Hawaii 6 Ty Detmer 5188 1990 Brigham Young 7 David Klingler 5140 1990 Houston 8 Graham Harrell* 5111 2008 Texas Tech 9 Derek Carr* 5083 2013 Fresno State 10 Paul Smith* 5065 2007 Tulsa 11 Brandon Doughty* 5055 2015 Western Kentucky 12 Patrick Mahomes 5052 2016 Texas Tech 13 Bryant Moniz* 5040 2010 Hawaii 14 Case Keenum* 5020 2008 Houston 15 Kliff Kingsbury* 5017 2002 Texas Tech 16 Matt Johnson* 4946 2015 Bowling Green State 17 Tim Rattay 4943 1998 Louisiana Tech 18 Mason Rudolph* 4904 2017 Oklahoma State 19 David Carr* 4839 2001 Fresno State 20 Brandon Doughty* 4830 2014 Western Kentucky

A bit dramatic. Tyrod and his play have been discussed plenty. Bottom line is there are worse QB's that the team could have. With the current group of TE's and WR's no QB outside of the great ones could do much better. This team had the worst WR core in the league by far. Tyrod's playmaking helps the lack of talent at those positions. A better passing QB with this group of players does not mean better results. The team needs to upgrade at WR and QB. If not may be best to stick with Tyrod.
