Big C 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. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 The real T-mobile would be nuts for not taking all the free publicity. Correct - let's see how smart they are - many companies - and especially their lawyers - are often idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Oh God no. Don't curse him with the Flutie handle. I expect TT to actually win some playoff games in the NFL (unlike Douggie). Agreed. I just like the pun with rhyming the first name. 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.

jr1 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 He's decisive and even faster than I thought he'd be. Good choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 ...according to Jay Glazer. Thoughts? Linky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
ChevyVanMiller Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Really happy about the choice of Tyrod, but having a hard time fully enjoying it right now because of the release of FredEx. 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...

sodbuster Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Anybody else listening to the back pedaling on 550 right now? They should look at Matthew Coller to replace Darby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 http://twitter.com/JayGlazer/status/638372286815469568 I like Lori's comment: Lori Chase @LChase_RA 31m31 minutes ago @TJCutini Well, if they're going with Taylor, guess they don't need to worry as much about keeping an RB who can pick up the blitz. 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.

The Dean Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Linky? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000518335/article/tyrod-taylor-named-bills-starting-qb "a source informed of the team's thinking" Still no official announcement. I like Lori's comment: Lori Chase @LChase_RA 31m31 minutes ago @TJCutini Well, if they're going with Taylor, guess they don't need to worry as much about keeping an RB who can pick up the blitz.

EJM came on strong at the end but still inconsistent, seems to need a bit more work. Makes sense if TT plays the entire year and never gets hurt. But having some RB pass protection is a good idea no matter who your starting QB, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
