This. I love the guy, he makes plays, is a nice guy, and is fun to watch. but these moments make you ask "why......."

what about peyton? at best, taylor is a top 20 QB right now. I like taylor, and I think he stablizes the position for us.

Tyrod seems like a solid starter for us, especially for what we are trying to do. If I were calling the shots, I think they should go the route andy ried and the eagles did. They had their starter and would grab a good qb prospect in the 2nd round or later now and then to sit behind the starter and develop They ended up trading those QBs, but I think that is the best way to approach the QB issue. I for don't want them to avoid drafting a QB because then there is little hope. But I don't want them to turn into the browns where every other year they are throwing a first round at a QB and hoping he sticks. But I think tyrod is a solid starter for our system. I worry about staying healthy, but he is young enough and he seems to pretty tough

I dont think there is much of a difference for production. I think EJ has more potential still (I know, I know, he has had his chances) but Tyrod gives us a better chance to win now I think, since I think he makes less mistakes. I also don't want to yoyo QBs all season like the texans. Tyrod won the QB battle fair and sqaure, let him finish the season unless he gets injured. EJ played ok last game, but he didn't do anything to take the starting job away from Tyrod. And I was one who would have gone with EJ at the begining of the the season

Rex will get it turned around eventually. But my concern would be that it happens too late in the season and Rex loses the locker room, creating a long term mess.

Rex really needs to retool what he is doing. He is going to lose the lockerroom if his defense keeps failing

I love EJ, and played ok. The killer for me was that interception. That is a total rookie decision and it was all on him. We needed 3 yards and he through it into great coverage far down the field. had he thrown it to a wide open (hogan?) short, he would have no interception and a first down. That interception killed what would have been a decent day for someone people keep saying should be out of the league. EJ showed he is good enough to be a backup, but didn't show he was good enough to be a starter. I don't get the hate on EJ by the local media and some fans. there are far worse QBs out there. I would take EJ over kirk cousins and that mess over in houston. And the more I see of winston, the more I am glad we don't have him.

Not a Rodak fan, but you would have to be naive not to think someone is making bad desicions, whether it is the coaches, doctors, trainers, or players themselves.something is not right You have the mccoy injury,he is out a couple weeks and they say he is fine to play. which turns into him being out almost a month because he came back too soon. Then aaron williams, has a neck injury that scared the heck out of everyone, he is out for 2 weeks, plays in a game, ends the game ok, and now he is on IR. Karlos Williams looks fine all game, and now he has a concussion that has kept him out multiple weeks with no timeline to return...a conncession that bad, and no one knew about it until well after the game was over. Sure, some of this is just part of the game. But a lot of this putting players out there and then pulling them back isn't something I have seen on this team before

If there were that many side effects after the game, it was probably worse. If it was mild, he would have just walked it off and probably would have hid it

I think both coaching and the players are going to adjust. Rex does move things around to play to a player's strengh. I think after the coaching gets a better idea about this group, coaching will adjust too.

I cannot imagine duke being on this team next year. any low draft pick can replace him

A new challenge is going to be keeping talent and replacing talent that we lose. I am not saying we are going to lose a lot of guys, But I would say it will be hard to keep all of them. I wasn't expecting Incognito to play so well. I thought he would be just a one year player for us. Looks like we will want to re-sign him now too, which is just another person to add to our list for the offseason. It will be pretty difficult to keep bradham, harvin, incognito, Glenn, etc know that we also have too look down the road in re-signing Gilmore and possibly a franchise QB. A lot of it will depend on how much the cap goes up. If it goes up a good amount, then maybe with some creativity we can keep our stars mainly intact

I am also going to go out on a limb that no coach will be fired mid season. And I wouldn't be surprised if fisher is one of the first ones fired on "black monday" or whatever.. Fisher is a great coach, but he isn't doing it right in STL. with the talent he has, he should be doing better

And isn't he planning on retiring soon anyway?

no, there shouldn't be a punishment for fumbling unless the defense establishes position of the ball. if this happens at the 50, there is no "punishment" and there is no reason it should be different at any other part of the field. And the fact that the NFL is revisiting this rule would suggest that the NFL finds it flawed as well. this is probably how they came up with it

Well, I think he said a lot of things, and with Timmy cherry picking from what he said and putting random stuff in twtter made it worse. I think it is more TG's fault than Jackson's. What jackson said wasn't really out of line. At first people were like "well, that is disappointing." people freaked out with the "rogue" comment, which I don't think came from fred. though it is possible.

depends on why we lose. If I had to put a guess on it, I would say penalties and not converting 3rd downs

From listening to the press conference, they wanted to keep all 3 QBs. They trusted EJ, but cassel was a safer (but not a better) backup than EJ. After 2 regular season games, Rex was fairly comfortable With the 3 QBs with the exception that they didn't have the opportunity to develop EJ but it didn't make sense to make a long time vet the third QB option So then as luck would have it, Whaley came to rex saying dallas was insterested in Cassel. And Rex agreed thinking after 2 regular season games he would like to develop EJ more and was ok of EJ being number 2 I also think that the bills secretly wanted that roster spot. With Aaron williams injury, Duke playing terrible yet again, and Meeks being upgraded to 53, all played a small role in them wanting an extra roster spot. I see it as them just being presented with an opportunity by dallas, they looked at the pros and cons, and made a decision. And pros and cons can change weekly in the NFL. I do not get why the local media is so invested in Cassel and so forceful to run EJ out of town. And they seem to act like Tyrod doesn't exist. It is really like they formed some kind of pact. I don't hate the local media like some here, but their speculation and opinions on this QB battle has been frustrated reading all offseason and now it keeps going

Was hoping for a player for player swap to get some oline depth, but guess not

For the time being it is a quarterback league, and today we needed a QB to out score brady. We just couldnt do it. A lot of blame to be passed around for this game, but it is pretty damn near impossible to beat brady/gronk/belichick together without a franchise QB

Really, the league is going to be so much better once brady retires. And that isn't just because we play in the same division. It is just that I am sick of this nonesense and all these stories. They are never going away until brady and/or belichick retire.. And age would have brady to be the first to go. And I don't really put the blame on brady. I mostly put it on belichick. But with brady gone, the pats won't win as much and these stories won't be such a big deal and the media wouldn't eat them up like they are now.

the thing about the market is, what would be his market value? there is no guarentee he would get Suh money from another team unless he tested the market. I think the chances of him getting suh money anywhere is pretty slim. If he gets anything bigger than JJ watt money (with the bills or anywhere else) I would be shocked. the 90 million is close to what he is going to get. I haveto imagine the major sticking point is the guarenteed money

Nice place for a press conference too! I tell ya, this block feature sucks when the person I block keeps getting quoted so I see his nonsense anyway. We should all just ignore mastershake and wait for him to do some self reflection

If he agrees to the extension, is he allowed to sign it tomorrow or does he have to wait after the game?

I think chandler just because he is probably going to play pretty well in NE and that will trigger some "we should have kept him" commentary. He is for sure serviceable, but he is gong to look great with brady throwing to him. And with Gronks history of injuries, I think he may play more than people expect. Fred will leave the biggest hole. his leadership is unquestionable. And right now, we have a lot of players with major character defects.... with fred gone, I have a fear that maybe the bad character guys out number the good character guys now. And that gives me doubt that the locker room can keep it together. Though I am not going to doom them. But there is some doubt in my mind now that fred is gone from the locker room
