fridge Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This tells me everybody is getting pink slips. Ryan and Taylor get to play out the year. If Whaley were to stick around, you'd see Cardale Jones out there, Tyrod Taylor in Griffin-wrap and an interim coach. To me, the lack of input from the FO or the owners is deafening. I'm not following this. You're saying that the lack of front office input means...everyone in the front office already knows Rex is gone at the end of the year, so what's the point?

Fadingpain Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't know why anyone really expected them to switch. Tyrod is far from what we want as a franchise QB, but he's the best chance to win out by a longshot. If these three games show progress in the passing games, which truly should be the only focus of the offense and yet probably won't be, then they are picking up that option. No rookies are coming out of this draft with first year starter potential at QB. It's loaded with WR and OL help though and there are two elite safety prospects in the 1st. These are the areas to address. Ergo, they will roll into 16/17 with a vet (Tyrod), a project (Cardale) and a back-up vet (Cutler?) and load up on other key areas. Not happy, but not even close to surprised Who the hell wants that!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Stupid is as stupid does. We are out of Playoffs ya have a kid who hopefully has shown enough in practice since ya drafted him. Give him a chance and see if any live action makes us forget about TT and move on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 No doubt. Taylor will finally throw for 300 yards against the winless Browns at home and I'm going to have to sit here and read all about it for an entire offseason. Haha let's not get crazy now.

stevewin Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Is there another tweet whether #Bills owner Terry Pegula says Coach Rex Ryan remain the starting Coach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Haha let's not get crazy now. I'll laugh hysterically if they bring back Rex and company after a 3 game win streak or even 2-1 to end the season against the bottom of the barrel. I'm already laughing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jms62 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 This offense works cause of Taylor's ability to get out of harms way... Sometimes too early I know. Don't know about Cardale but this much is true EJ would be taking sack after sack and we wouldn't be close to putting up highest points average in 25 years with him. I kind of am perplexed we have people loving Lynn and hating Tyrod..... This Offense doesn't work with anyone else on this roster other than Tyrod... If next year we want to go more conventional than we need to get a QB at that point.. Maybe Romo for a year and take some shots in the draft...

Alphadawg7 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 https://twitter.com/JaySkurski/status/808426258396749825 Jay SkurskiVerified account@JaySkurski #Bills coach Rex Ryan says QB Tyrod Taylor will remain the starting quarterback. Well it should be, he is the best QB on the roster. If they are not going to keep him though, I would have liked to see EJ get some game time to earn a chance at a contract from someone next year just because he never complained, worked hard, and had some good moments. So be cool to see if he could do anything these last 3 games, but IMO TT is still the better QB on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If TT gets injured and we cut him with an injury settlement do we still just get that minimum dead cap space hit or are we on the hook for all that bonus money he would be owed? Cause I don't care if the Pegulas lose millions on their bad investment, but I would care if it messed up our cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Cleveland, Miami, and the Jets all with back-up QB's playing. A nice 3 wins to finish the season and I can hear it already... "Let's build on this momentum for next year" This is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbringer Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I wonder if he's still playing because the Bills are still mathematically alive. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I was able to get the NY Times playoff calculator to show the Bills in the playoffs. It has the Broncos, Ravens, and Dolphins falling apart for this to happen. That part's OK. The part that I have trouble with is it requires Buffalo to win the last three games. Not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 He's definitely the best QB on the roster. That's not really debatable. But what about LaCanfora's story? What the hell is going on inside this organization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billieve420 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If Rex finishes 9-7 does he still get fired? I don't think so the time to fire him was today. I have a feeling he is brought back next year unless there is a total collapse. The Bills are good for the garbage wins which don't prove anything and serve no purpose.

It's only the Super smart fanbase with no knowledge of what's been going on in practice that assumes he should be ready to sink or swim because they have to know before the offseason No, it's the super smart fan base that says if TT gets hurt in one of these 3 MEANINGLESS games, he hamstrings our cap next year. Or are you saying you are 100% certain you want TT to be the starter next year, and 100% the Bills should exercise the option. Cause that's what you are doing if he gets hurt. And lets not forget, the same guy you quote as saying Jones to raw, also said this week he is not ready to commit to TT as the starter. So can't have it both ways.
