    Week 8: Raiders' Game Preparation - Inactives Announced

    Interesting, I guess, but what are we supposed to conclude from this? If we consistently score points on our possessions that aren't the result of turnovers, does this really matter?

    - Tyrod has a winning record as a starter...he is doing it this year with injuries....lack of talent on offense.....a running game that is not dominant like it was last year and that is WITH going against top defenses at the beginning of the season. I still need to see more consistancy from him before I think he shoud be the guy going forward but it is not the worst option in the world especially if we can get our deep threat passing game going again. The ball is in Tyrod's court here.

     

     

    John, I know you're not anti-Tyrod, but I don't understand why you keep talking about Tyrod's lack of consistency. IMO, his consistency is one of his greatest strengths. Like any QB, Tyrod's not going to put up the same numbers every game; his stats are going to fluctuate based on the strength of the opposing defense, the Bills' gameplan, and the game situation. He's always going to protect the ball and you'll never see him throw three or four picks in a game, like say Eli Manning or Matt Ryan. He also probably won't throw for 400 yards and 4 TDs in this offense.

     

    I think what you really mean is that you'd like to see sustained improvement in Tryod's game, and I think we're seeing it this year, despite his less than overwhelming supporting cast.

    Trade up and grab a QB, let Tyrod walk or if he does well enough maybe we can get a draft pick for him. We would have two young QBs and the money being paid to Tyrod can be used on other positions.

    I would love to see them grab Josh Rosen, maybe we won't have to trade up too far to get him.

    My favorite part is where you say, if Tyrod plays really well, trade him and draft an unknown rookie.

     

    Why do you hate this player so much? Will the Crusade ever end?

    None of the 3 got to them. Then Kizer didn't get to them in round 2. Obviously they didn't feel good enough about trading up for one of the three guys.... but had one been on the board at 13 I think they would have taken him. There was a reason Houston and Kansas City were so keen to get up to the spots they selected.

    I agree. Wonder if they talked to the Bills about moving up? Maybe McD was looking to move back farther than 13.

    2018 is NOT necessarily "the time to do it" if the top QB prospects suck! :doh: It could happen since there's no rule that says that there has to be a great QB in every draft class. Drafting the best of a poor lot only gets you an expensive bust. The Bills already tried that in 2013 with Manuel ... which prevented them from even looking at Carr or Bridgewater.

     

     

    I used to think Rivers was elite, too, but I've changed my mind in the last few years. He's a very good QB but he needs a lot of support to carry him more than he can carry his team. He's never come up big when the Chargers needed him to do so, not early on when the team was making the playoffs every year nor later when the team was less talented but still capable. More recently, he seemed to be a significant part of the reason why they were having losing seasons. He seems to always find ways to lose games whereas guys like Rodgers, Brees, and Brady find ways to win them.

    Rivers is not close to being elite any more. He has not won more than 9 games in a season since 2009 and he wont this year, either. Thats a very long time. Hes not a franchise qb.

    I'm sure there is a Zay thread

    Aaaaaaaaand.........then there is the Bills Josh Reed.

     

    Jr year wins Belitnikoff Award as top WR in NCAA.......catching 94 passes for 1740 yards for LSU........a place hardly known for big WR stats.

     

    Bills draft him early in round 2 and in his rookie year looked absolutely fantastic....superglue for hands.......basically looked like what Hines Ward was becoming.

    Next year........gets handed the #2 WR position with Peerless Price out of the way.........gets the yips dropping a gift wrapped long bomb against Jacksonville........and his career stalls as he becomes a middling bum of a receiver that needed constant apologizing for.

    But he sure could block...
