Racketmaster,
I consider Denver and Houston considerably better than the Bills. It's not clear that either was interested in Taylor, is it?
Preference to stay in Buffalo may include the more sanguine picture you suggest.
It may also be that Taylor's options were not terribly good. He took a large paycut, did he not?
It really doesn't matter at this point, however. He'll be given the opportunity to prove himself the long-term answer at qb.
Imo, he will have to improve considerably or we will draft a qb high next year.
