PolishDave Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If you drive by the stadium right now, you will see a lantern hanging from the scoreboard. Remember the phrase "one if by land two if by sea"? Well, they are going with the land and that means Tyrod Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattsox Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 You're a little late, that's been being called since the Steeler's game. Even though I'm an EJ Manuel guy, I'm good with Taylor starting and Manuel as the backup. RGIII may be an option as well as it appears his days in Washington are over...

OP Class75 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So, there we have it. Deal was struck. Whaley said he'll allow Tyrod starting over EJ if Rex agrees to cut Freddy for Bryce Brown. Seeing that the starting QB is the most important player on the team, Rex begrudgingly agreed to it. Now, Whaley gets to keep his little pet RB on the roster, Rex gets his starting QB, and they both feel like they won something. Meanwhile, Daddy Pegula is happy to see his children getting along. My God - I hope you are wrong...There is no good reason for cutting Fred over Brown, but this would be horrible. (BTW - Love The Flag!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 WTF happened to our competitive advantage!? Chalk week 1 up as a loss now, boys! But congrats to Tyrod.

Max997 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think Cassel is next to go which would hv surprised me before camp but after the way Tyrod and EJ hv played wouldn't surprise me at all.

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So far the source I heard from is correct. Now need to hear EJ #2, Simms #3, and Cassel cut and he'll be 100% correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristocrat Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 tyrod can do exactly what people expected cassel to do. Simple throws that are high percentage and run the ball. I don't know why people think tyrod is just going to come out slinging it and throwing it to all these different areas of the field. I think they will have a plan to develop him. Remember russell wilson most attempts his rookie year was 37 in an ot game. He average 24 throws a game and they ran the ball. as long as tyrod is going like 17 of 25 we're golden.

Ramblin' Rob Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 As an avid but mostly quiet EJ supporter this summer, I am ok with this move. That said, I was a Tyrod doubter, and have been pleasantly surprised. I am not eating my crow till he starts facing teams and winning a second time or we clinch a playoff spot. I still believe EJ has a future, and we might as well cut Meh, as the other two already play above his ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmsbills Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well - let's cut Cassel and resign our guys -MD, NB, CG and SG. I really like TT but do not think he is the long term solution, but let's give him the opportunity. We can allow EJ to contiue to develop under this staff. If TT is the answer then great, if not and EJ continues to improve, then great. If not we are in QB purgatory as DW suggested. I am just glad we did not go with Cassel.

Fadingpain Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 ...according to Jay Glazer. Thoughts? I have said this for a long time now. Tyrod was always Rex's guy and he offers the most raw talent/ability. If you want big plays, you need playmakers. Tyrod is that kind of guy.

Coach Tuesday Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Harder to play man coverage with Tyrod, and you have to be really careful with your rush lanes - if your DEs get too aggressive and lose contain, he'll make you pay. Didn't have as many TD throws as I was hoping to see this preseason, but he seemed very efficient at moving the sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So Rex cut Fred because he told Jay Glazer that Tyrod was named the starting QB. That's how I read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Fine. Let's move on and drop the melodramatic obsession with who is / isn't throwing the ball in the media tent. TT will be exciting to watch. And we even have the depth chart covered, which is a real mindwarp after the 'worst QB situation in the NFL' blather...

LOL some truth to that! I thought it was clear that overall, Taylor was the most consistent and productive QB through TC and preseason. EJM came on strong at the end but still inconsistent, seems to need a bit more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Now that he is the guy, is T-Mobile really the nickname we're going with? Isn't Tyrod a cool enough name in and of itself? He doesn't have to have a nickname. BTW, I think T-Mobile is a very boring nickname. The man's got a name and it's very cool already IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Calling it right now... Cassel will be cut! I think that would be a mistake. I think it is more likely that FredEx is a roster casualty in part BECAUSE they've decided it's best for the team if they keep 3 QB. I realize that the concept of making a roster spot for Meh Cassel by cutting a force of nature like FredEx would probably make most of this message board throw up in their mouths, but if it's Game 10, TT and EJ are injured, and Bills are in a knife-fight for a playoff spot, we may live to be glad of it.

I hear you, I felt that way too. However, the current NFL cap structure doesn't allow for it. It becomes a wooden leg to carry a third QB at 4-5 million.
