No, mediocre was more than enough in TT's view. And with TT's penchant for leaving plays on the field, "mediocre" could be an overstatement of his play. The guy had his moments, I'll give him that, but I just don't think he can carry a franchise. I feel much better about our QB roster this season - much better.

It's only OTAs, so there's no point in a lot of hype about anyone right now, imo. The bottom line is that the Bills have 3 QBs who could legitimately win the starting job week 1. And whoever that is will have to prove they can keep it because there will be two other capable QBs who will each be glad to take over, if needed. That's a good spot to be in, really - great to have competition at the QB position. If the starter is Allen, great. I think I'd be ok with any of the 3 winning the job in a legitimate competition. I think Bills can win with any of them enough times to make another playoff run. We'll see. I'm the optimistic sort, most times. I like all 3 QBs.

Yes, thank you for this board! It's always had s consistent and clean design - far better that most boards - a great place to get caught up on Bills' happenings.

Agree with OP - nothing but upside with Allen. I think more than a few teams will be kicking themselves a year or two from now that they didn't make a run for Allen. Time will tell, of course.

They are not mutually exclusive.

On the contrary, I completely like our situation at QB. If one of the 3 QBs completely outperforms the other two during training camp and pre-season, that QB has to get the job and it could realistically be any of the 3. They are all capable. And I'm not giving up on Peterman, either. He's right in the mix so far as I'm concerned. Whichever of the 3 wins the starting job, I'm totally ok with that.

Culley does have some QB coaching experience from early 80's (quite a long time ago) and he also played QB at Vandy for 3 seasons, but that is traditionally a running team. You make a point, but if Beane and McDermott can find good players, I trust they know how to find good coaches, too. Culley has extensive NFL coaching experience and I don't think he should be underestimated in his current role.

The big take-away from his coach's viewpoint, for me, was that because of his big arm, defenses will have to cover virtually the entire field. That being the case, that will really lend itself to a successful running game, too, with defenses having to respect the deep ball and the safety not being able to cheat much against the run. Having to cover so much of the field will wear defenses down over time. If and when Allen takes over the starting role, this factor could make for some big 4th quarter scoring for Buffalo.

I agree. I like some of the things he's done and I expect him to do well in the draft. It will be interesting. So long as I don't see Brandon high-fiving anyone, I'm good.

With 6 picks in the top 100, Buffalo can fill a lot of holes with starters. I just can't see giving all that away on a single player - one who may not pan out. This QB class still seems suspect to me - this isn't exactly an Elway/Marino/Kelly type of QB class. Time will tell and I could be wrong, but just not seeing it happening that way. If Bills can draft well again this year with all these picks, they will be well on their way towards being a regular playoff contender.

Just as I always suspected - 25% of Bills fans demonstrate intelligence

I agree with this statement.

I like the QBs on our roster - would be totally ok if we don't make another QB move this offseason.

It's posts like this that keep me away from this board for days or weeks at a time. What an idiotic and senseless post by the OP.

Is the trade even official? Why no mention of it on BuffaloBills.com? Pending a physical or something? Why no announcement from Buffalo Bills and not listed in "Transactions" on Buffalobills.com ?

ANY thoughts of keeping TT is just a joke. Dennison is taking the axe because TT is crappy QB. If TT could come close to executing a play as designed, Dennison is still employed. This is not a ringing endorsement of Dennison, but there's no one who can build a successful system around TT - it cannot be done and it's unfair to put an OC in the position of being stuck with the worst NFL QB in modern times.

Tyrod Taylor will have the game of his life, I believe. This doesn't change my opinion about Peterman, who I think should take over, but I think TT is going to have a freakishly great game on Sunday.

Was there a beach chair involved?

Ok, like I said, I don't know the rules for that, so thanks for helping me out there. I just wouldn't trust a thing is all I'm saying. I would certainly understand the provided equipment as completely as possible to see if interception of communications is possible.

Now we're getting closer. Mr. ex-military intelligence man with a photographic memory - Mr. Ernie Adams. Imagine having a guy with a photographic memory who has watched every single bit of film on every player and every opponent, collectively?! Think that skill might be slightly useful when assembling the weekly game plan? Thank goodness football is a game of bounces or else NE might not ever lose a single game. In all seriousness, if I could take one piece away from New England, it wouldn't be Brady and it wouldn't be Belichick. It would be Mr. Ernie Adams. Take Adams away and the Patriots become a slightly better-than-average team, imo. I would sweep the coach's box, sideline benches/equipment and locker room for bugs before every game at Gillette. Whether I'm in the booth or on the sidelines, I'm covering my lips while speaking - at ALL times. If I'm not covering my lips, then I'm saying something to intentionally throw them off. I don't know what the rules are, but I would do everything in my power to bypass any supplied forms of communications equipment. I would want to have my own highly secured equipment and would want all communications scrambled so they cannot be intercepted and I would alter the frequencies of communication constantly during the game. I'd be watching ANYONE on the sidelines who is not in my organization - guys who have field passes for whatever legitimate reason and I'd have a couple of highly-trained security folks on my staff to watch for anything unusual happening around or near my players and coaches during the games. I would not assume that even my own facility is secure. Times have changed. The Patriots are cheaters on steroids and you have to assume that they have, and will continue, to use any means necessary to gain an advantage.

In addition to Dalton/Boyd, let's give thanks to ... Darqueze Dennard - 89-yard pick-6 - are you kidding! - just WOW! Carlos Dunlap for the big sack on Ravens' final drive! Vincent Rey with William Jackson teaming up on the final stop!!

Really, this is payback for the Chargers doing exactly this to Buffalo in the 70's, I think it was (or early 80's?). Anyhow, I can't remember exactly what season it was without researching it, but I recall that Buffalo had beaten San Diego head-to-head that season and I think they were tied at 9-5, but Buffalo lost out on the tie-breaker. So, nice to see that little piece of history kind of erased with one that goes our way for a change! Go Bills! Edit: well, not quite - it was 1980 Bills/Chargers I was thinking of - both teams finished 11-5 and Buffalo won during regular season against them, but had to travel to San Diego to play them in the playoffs (Ferguson's gutsy performance on a gimpy ankle - great game). But that's not the same thing as being eliminated on a tie-breaker. All the same, good to see Buffalo win the tie breaker!

Why thank you! Yeah, I know I am, but until someone shows me a better way to think, gotta think playoffs!!!!
