It's difficult to look at some of the contracts we've been handing out, seeing standard contract provisions left out or poorly structured numbers. Why the heck is Overdorf still with this team?!

The guy is SUCH an injury risk that you just can't rely on him playing for that entire year at only 14M

Well there's a zero percent chance he plays, so I may as well announce my intention to "hope" to play this year as well

1- Take advantage of the 2 day window to trade Tyrod to the Browns 2- Trade a conditional pick for Romo 3- Draft Watson or a QB with competent passing skills to learn behind a QB who can actually pass the ball 4- Let Gilmore walk 5- Cut A Williams, Carpenter, restructure Kyle and Dareus 6- Draft WR/S in rds 2-3 7- Seymour and Darby starters, pick up some veteran depth 8 - Re-sign Brown Good enough

The top 4 teams in the playoffs with elite QBs this year beg to differ

I'm against the re-signing of Colton Schmidt

You should google Michael Jordan manufactured up sleights. Someone could say he was "one of the best players" to do something and he would get worked up over not being acknowledged simply as "the best". This has nothing to do with growing up, although it does expose a bias you have against him.

Makes little sense to do that if you actually want him on your team. If the Bills pay him then you don't get the QB you wanted.

Behold the face of fear

He'll be a late round pick if only because GMs are desperate to find a QB under any rock they can

Oh no, this thread mentioned Tyrod. Prepare for the next 3 pages to be people talking solely about him.

ok so we all agree the plan this year should be to draft 6 QBs, to ensure we don't miss out.

I'd be happy drafting 2 Safeties, we need them and this draft has good ones. Get elite players wherever you can.

There's a comma in the wrong place in the original post. I won't spoil it for you by telling you where, but it's there.

Step away from the ledge. Also, to echo the point that multiple posters have already made: a tank is evidence he's not going anywhere.

If I'm TT I have no motivation to take less money. If the FO were intelligent and they want to keep him they should forget about trying to reduce his salary and just negotiate something to help his cap hit.

IMO at the end of the day the TT discussion on this board is just covered in fear. People are afraid he will go somewhere else and be better than he was here. They are afraid that somehow the frog will turn into a prince and are more concerned with the Bills looking dumb for letting him go. i don't really see consistent evidence that he is the answer at QB. The guy can run and threw some nice deep balls TWO seasons ago. Realistically he has had one decent game as a passer here and of course it had to be in his last game as a starter, so now everyone thinks he's suddenly going to blossom into a real QB.

That said, I would love to see him back. He is a leader and seems like a great guy. He's the type of person you are happy to have in the community and in the locker room.

Just as long as he's not going rogue

I like that he plays things close to the vest. On the other hand I'm starving for SOME news. I feel like any of the "reports" on what the FO and coaching staff are thinking is just speculation and no actual sources. I swear TBN makes up stories just to see if that will prompt OBD to refute them.

I dunno. I feel like TT helps the running game and is a really poor passer. He doesn't throw with anticipation and often doesn't even see wide open receivers. We could probably draft 2 studs and they would probably end the season with like 300 yds receiving a piece. I'd rather play a young QB and fortify our other positions. If we hit with the young guy, cool. If not, we draft one til we hit on one.

Nah, I doubt that happens. It's ok, I forgive you for not watching him

I see the merit to your points, I think we just agree on how to proceed from here. With Tyrod on the team we are effectively destroying WR production, starting him at QB is like running wildcat every play. Without a good passing game forget about winning games coming from behind and we likely have 4-5 gaping holes in our defense so we WILL be playing from behind a lot. Just on D we are going to need starters at CB S S SLB. We don't have backups that can step up and play at a high level. We have a single WR on the roster and a RT that we could replace with a parking cone. An acceptable draft should yield at least 2 starters, last year we got 1 rotational guy and a pretty bad backup rb. I don't have confidence we can plug more than 2 spots effectively this year. We have to re-sign a ridiculous amount of players, so here's to hoping we can pull some diamonds from the vet min turd pile again and even field a decent team with the cap space we have.

In a year where we didn't have the 7th least cap space and have to sign players to occupy about half of our roster I would agree with you. Unfortunately, this team has managed their cap space poorly and are now in a position where they have to actually consider the cap benefits vs production head to head, which is total garbage. This team coasted along for so long without having to pay their QBs and they never carved out some space for an increased payment for a middling QB. Now we're in a position where retaining Tyrod, who is average and not great, actually hurts the rest of the roster. So you have to consider what gets you were you want to be next year. Are we just trying for a winning record and a shot at the wildcard? Is starting a cheap sub-par for this year at least QB who is not TT going to get you more wins because you are able to fortify the defense and run the ball well enough to win? Does keeping TT at the expense of the defense win us more games? Or, if you are trying to build a sustainable winner, do you just scrap TT, dump some bigger contracts through trades for picks and try to land a talented core through the draft? I feel like we've been putting bandaids on a shotgun wound for years and I would prefer to rebuild at this point. I just don't see sufficient young talent on this roster to field a sustainable winner.

He should be. I don't really buy into PFF. Like most players say, there is no way to know what a specific play was SUPPOSED to do. If Shady is supposed to chip or bump a defender on his way out to the flat as part of the play, are the PFF "analysts" counting that as a poor block? We don't know because who the heck is going to go re-watch all that film and dispute their analysis.
