They have the 2016 Buffalo Bills recieving corp without the run game and with a lesser qb. I am safe to assume that 2nd round pick is in the 30's.

You can't have 3 times the TDs as turnovers and lead top 10 scoring offense both years as a starter and "suck." This is the kind of dribble and nonsense that has ruined this board and it's sad. If you want to say "limited" or "not good enough" you may be able to make that argument. "Suck" and "Rudy" are just not true. They are opinions that aren't true because facts say otherwise.

If Goff takes "the next step," that second rounder we got might not be as good a pick as we were hoping. Still a big "if." I think Goff will be improved due to coaching alone. McVay did a good job with Cousins in Washington. I don't think they are more than 7 wins good at this point though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goff is just starting his 2nd and can all ready do this... Taylor may not be a franchise/elite QB, but that doesn't mean "he sucks". It's been discussed to death, but most fans agree that, had the defense been at least average these last two years, the Bills possibly win about 2 more games each of these last two years under Taylor, and seriously contend for a playoff spot. Of course, we fans want more than just a playoff birth (although we'd take it at this point), but to say that Taylor sucks is selling him a bit short, IMO. Are you the same guy that claimed that the Bills with Matt Cassel would be like the Panthers with Jake Delhomme on the BBMB? You're like the media. Taking a harmless quote and twisting it into something that it isn't. But hey, that seems to the be the way it works these days. OP would be a hit at PFT.

I'd take a playoff birth or a playoff berth, either one! Agreed though, we can make the playoffs with Taylor. Then, once you're in, who knows what could happen?

Watch the video after boldins first or second practice. He is talking about building trust and knowing where everyone is suspose to be at on the feild. To me that is saying the same thing a differant way. Fair enough. My point wasn't meant to express surprise at a wide receiver saying nice things about a new QB - it was simply the fact that of the 1,000 nice things Sammy could have said, he mentioned what is widely accepted as Taylor's achilles heel. Nope, not scandalous; just an interesting tidbit during an otherwise boring week 3 of preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It could be 'standard new wr talk.' It could be a shot at Tyrod. I'm not sure and I don't care. We all know who Tyrod is as a QB and a maybe/maybe-not veiled criticism from Sammy doesn't change anything. I'm just hoping Rico has developed an offensive scheme and playbook that effectively utilizes TT's strengths and avoids his weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsgoodtime Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It's quite obvious the Bills are hoping to upgrade the QB position in next year's draft. Taylor works hard and does his best so I don't get all the bashing. I don't either. He is an average starting qb and with a good team can help win some games....we have had far worse, and arguably may have had nothing better since Kelly (I know how hard and sad that is) but it may be the truth. I understand the people wanting a franchise #1 guy at qb...for Christ sakes it's been 17 years (dare I say 18 now?) However I truly don't believe the problem on the team is Tyrod like some believe, I think out of 22 starters on D/O, he ranks on the upper half of our roster. Maybe there is a finger to be pointed to other than TT? This is a team sport, with a cast of recievers TT has never thrown too, and the bottom half of other teams rosters,how could he succeed? Suddenly become Superman? they traded the reciever he had with chemistry with. When is the 2018 draft? Can't wait.. and for the love of God did you see the pass protection so far this year?
