C.Biscuit97 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I think Tyler Dunne is great -- as good as any local NFL beat reporter in the country right now. He actually got real experience from covering the Packers. The majority are meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It sounded to me like the bills are prepared to surrender all their draft picks, pursue no outside free agents and keep 100% of the roster in tact. Rex and Dougs favorite word of the day? Confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now only if we keep drafting well I understand the handcuff of spending so much last year, sounds like to me that it'll be a defensive heavy offseason Edited January 4, 2016 by AlwaysBilleve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) It's kinda the GB and Pittsburgh model. Draft well and keep your top end talent. More importantly, draft a franchise QBs who hangs around for 12-15 years. In all seriousness, though, the Bills seem pretty set at QB for the time being. Taylor is a smart, playmaking leader that no DC wants to face. He was great yesterday in tough conditions against a great run defense.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Very sad that a top 3 defense has to be rebuilt. I was at least happy to hear Rex alude to the fact he might not have seen some of the weakness of certain players or schemes because of unfamiliarity (stubbornness).

PromoTheRobot Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 sully.....pointing out that TT is lowest paid QB in league Jerry Sullivan already has his "Pay the man" column written. Just like he did for Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, though, the Bills seem pretty set at QB for the time being. Taylor is a smart, playmaking leader that no DC wants to face. The 2nd year is so key. Teams watch video and make big adjustments. RG3 (injury was a big part) and Nick Foles are two guys who struggle to follow up successful years. But it was a nice start for Taylor. Our offense needs to be more consistent. Far too many 3 and outs and lags in scoring. Jerry Sullivan already has his "Pay the man" column written. Just like he did for Fitz. He's such an annoying little geek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great yesterday in tough conditions against a great run defense. I would bet the shore up what they can this draft & FA while riding TT out. We should know within the first couple months of next season what we need to do. Hopefully a cap increase and dead money off the books we can go after a few FAs and god forbid make a move in the draft to grab a QB if TT is not the answer. If he is...

He played great in what was a very meaningful game against a team with a near-elite defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree. I do think Taylor gets a pass more than past Bills Qbs. He had 7 games of less than 215 yards passing, including 6 under 200. We used to rip Qbs for that. That said, he has great poise and his td to int ratio is tremendous. That is a hard stat to repeat however. Right now, I see Taylor as a good game manager but not a qb who can carry a team. That's why I would wait on an extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That said, he has great poise and his td to int ratio is tremendous. That is what you expect from a game manager. However, the defense wasn't the defense for a game manager at QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, for comparisons sake, Aaron Rodgers, considered one of the top, if not the top, QBs in the NFL, had 6 games of less than 215 yards and 3 games under 200 yards. He finished with 31 TD passes and only 8 INTs. He did not have a great year by his standards but this was his 8th season as starter. The team had a poor year but may have not made the playoffs without him. I think Tyrod had a similar impact on the Bills season. Time will tell if he can repeat or improve on what he did this season.

John from Riverside Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Which has been exactly what they've said since last UFA period. That's the plan, and it makes sense. Right....Whaley has already said this was the plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills need to let go of Harvin and Goodwin as they can't stay healthy as well as Hogan who is slow and inconsistent. They need a real #2 WR and better depth at WR. Maybe then, we'll see Taylor's passing yards go up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
