Original Byrd Man

I responded to your disagreement about the OC being more responsible for the passing stat in "TT vs the media". Check it out. The media has it out for TT and evidently you're buying into it. He's no HOF'er but he is solid. If you bother to look at the stats you would see that. Instead you want to use a 1 for a QB with 1 year under his belt. Money Mitch could very easily turn out to be a reincarnation of the last Money man, whom I believe is still available.

I know you don't want statistics to influence your desire for a new QB, but other than the fact TT had about 200 less ATTEMPTS than the majority of the league his completion % of 61.7, and yard/att. of 6.9 yards put him about the middle of the pack and his TD to Int ratio of 17 TD's to 6 int's. put him in the top 5 in that category. Only Matt Ryan and Aaron Rogers from the top 25 had a better percentage of TD to int. ratio. If you project TT to a number of attempts more comparable to the league avg. He would have 4,400 yards and would be 12th ahead of Winston. I will admit TT has scrambled on some pass plays called but all QB's do or take sacks. TT also finished 28th in rushing with 6 TD's which puts him #1 among QB's in that area. You are beating the wrong horse. This team would have been in the playoffs if the Defense had done their jobs. Ignore the media because they don't like statistics either, It's much more entertaining to arbitrarily nail some one to the wall. The readers around here eat it up. So like I said, yards per game is more the result of more running plays called than pass plays, so that is on the OC, who by the way I think did a very good job when you consider the Offense was ranked 7th in the league. Now if the D was better they may have been top 5 with more plays run. Take it for what it's worth but there are a lot worse QB's than TT and the crop this year is a real crap shoot. You may hit it lucky bit the odds are against it.

I like the job DW has done so far but if he trades up to 2 to take any of these QB's I say fire him because he doesn't have a clue. You do realize only 2 of these QB's have a first round grade, and that is middle to end of the first round. To trade up to the 2 spot to take one would be stupid.

I agree. Sal is about the only person I feel you can believe. Only a fool would fail to realize he is running the plays as they are called. Don't like the offense then criticize the coordinator. Unfortunately you evidently live in a dream world where reality doesn't exist.

Couple of things. You can have Odell the head case. It's way to early to judge the Watkins pick. Prescott was picked before CJ so it would have required a trade up. Watkins + TT does not equal new coach. Sucky D = new coach. 7th ranked Offense says enough points were scored to get better results. I'm not saying I would have minded Cooks and Carr, but there were questions about his arm strength to handle the winds here. EJ was drafted out of desperation from not selecting a QB much sooner. That's totally on Nix. In case you haven't noticed CK has become a solid LT.

By all accounts this is not a good year to draft a QB. If you use a 1,2,or3 to draft a QB this year you lose out on the chance to get a legit prospect next year because you will be waiting for your prospect to develop. Good things come to those who wait. I know it's been 17 years but what is another year or two in the grand scheme of things.

With a doubt I would root for the second to last non SB winner to beat the Pats.

There is no pulling in a zone scheme. The entire line moves in the same direction simultaneously.

That is my concern. Our current personnel are not a good fit for a zone scheme.

I am a long time ST holder but decided not to renew about mid season. Will still continue to support the team emotionally, but don't like the direction the league has taken. Roger Goodell needs to go! I'm tired of the inconsistency. Heavy fines for excessive celebration and a slap on the hand for illegal hits on the field. Domestic abuse all to common with to little repercussion. Maybe it's not all Goodell, as I'm sure the NFLPA has their hand in it as well, but I'm just tired of the whole mess.

I hope Dennison is flexible enough to adjust. This O line struggled with a zone blocking scheme in the past. Typically zone blocking emphasizes quick agile O linemen. I see this as a potential disaster.

Everyone gets all crazy about "the salary". If the Bills pick up the option he would fall into the lower third of starting QB's salaries, yet he ran an offense that ranked 7th in the league. Yes Shady played a big part in the O but TT did as well. The threat of him running complemented the run game. Pay the man!

Right because that worked so well with EJ. QB crop is very unspectacular this year. By all accounts next year is far superior. If you use a #1 this year you will miss a possible blue chipper next year while waiting for this years pick to develop. Do you really think the Rams will draft a QB in the first round this year. Extremely unlikely because no GM wants to admit they made a mistake. Especially with a #1.

You are now on all the Tyrod haters sh*t list. You confuse many of the posters here with statistics because they only care about their misguided, ill informed opinions. How would you know how anything works. Simple minds at work again. Gotta love it! If they do get drafted in the first it would be based on dire need not on talent. the odds of any of them succeeding is slim.

JPP doesn't run on his hands which makes the return just a little easier.

Bronco's fans were never considered the sharpest knives in the drawer. Hopefully their loss is our gain.

Very true only a HC job can not be stopped.

Wasn't claiming you used 5000 yards just trying just trying to point out that you and the rest of the Tyrod haters ignore the success of the offense and focus on passing game statistics. Interestingly you did mention the second half of the Raiders game. You are right he did struggle in the second half but the offense scored more than enough points in the first half and would have won if the defense didn't fold. Oh by the way Tyrods second half wasn't any worse then Carr's first half so I guess Derrick sucks as well right? Bottom line is it was the defense that was responsible for the team not making the playoffs.

Well said! I think MAJBobby shares the same misguided opinion as all the writers and radio personalities here, who feel you have to throw for 5000 yards a year or you suck.

Maybe some day you will understand that football IS a team sport and the only thing that matters is the final score and it doesn't matter how you get there.

Wrong again! Do a little home work before you respond. He struggled for the same reason where ever he has been. He has a gunslinger mentality but not the skill set to always execute it. Turn overs have been and always be his demise. Has nothing to do with the offense. If you knew any thing about football that would be evident to you.

I don't think anyone is claiming Tyrod does not have some deficiencies, but only the stubborn nay sayers ignore the fact that the Bills had the 7th ranked offense last year and Tyrod was a big part of it.

If your the QB you run the plays that are called. He does not design the route tree or dictate who the primary targets are.

Serious answer: Development begins when you commence practicing what you have learned and not before. Would you want a surgeon operating on you with no practical experience.

It's always best to do you what well. I actually heard McDermott didn't want control just wanted to be aware of what was going on. Way to be on it Jerry. He could always do everyone a favor and find a job he is more qualified for.
