billsfan60 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Nope. I would rather this thread go to 100 pages with no agreement than end abruptly on the racist card. One side was continuing to make and refute arguments, then the other went nuclear. That's not 'both sides to blame' territory. Just give it a minute. Transplant's not wrong. There's been a bias against black QBs going back before Warren Moon and Steve McNair. When he said "folks" he wasn't pointing fingers and yes, he could have been more clear about what he meant, but I've read his stuff for years and don't believe he meant what he's being accused of. Look how fast the piranahs swarmed. Take a non issue (at least with those on this site) and twist it to fit my agenda. That's just as bad as what he's being accused of.

I just stepped back after stepping out and running errands and I can't believe the explosive response. I purposely sad that I wasn't pointing fingers at any individual and that it wasn't everyone who is "anti Tyrod," but it's part of the zeitgeist of Football. It kept Warren Moon out of the NFL for years. It's amazing how anyone can even deny it's not still prevalent in the NFL. I just read in the Josh Allen thread earlier today comment from another poster who I respect who mentioned something in response to people who didn't see the appeal of him that "he's a tall white QB" or something to that effect and no one blew up at that comment despite the obvious race implications. Amazing. Add race to religion and politics as those off-limits topics of discussion. This should earn you your first unpaid vacation. It damn sure better. Incredible if you really thought that was seriously that offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be honest, race pretty much is politics. The political class looks a lot like the QB class in the NFL . Not passing judgement, just an observation. I am with you on Tyrod, I just think that race has nothing to do with it for most fans. Hope not anyway! It doesn't. If TT was similar to Aaron Rodgers on the football field, he'd be universally loved by Bills fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaCrispy Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) I hope to see Peterman starting no later than mid way thru the season...it is imperative to see what he has before we draft another QB.

Not sure it's prevalent anymore, too many examples to the contrary, but like every form of prejudice it never really dies. Slapping labels on people does nothing to promote free exchange of ideas and beliefs. Calling me an idiot for who I think should be starting is fine. I'll either find a bunch of reasons I'm right and you're wrong or I'll defer to a better point of view; but pushing a hot button to generate a mob mentality to win your argument for you is cowardly. I have much more to say but somebody stole my soapbox. Edited September 3, 2017 by billsfan60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This year it should be Tyrod unless he is injured or plays very poorly. Last game he played he threw for 330 and 3. Added another 60 on the ground. Peterman threw for 90 yards in a game that didn't matter. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Only once here? I think he was suspended every other month on BBMB. SMH Dude... stop lying.

par73 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 The "process" is another word for "rebuild." It is clear Taylor is not a franchise QB, and does not fit the McBeane mold for a QB (big pocket passer). What is the point in playing Taylor? Play the rookie and see if he develops into anything other than an NFL backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtDart Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) Based on three pre season games. To heck with 29 actual games when it counts. Tie Rod is barely above .500. How many of his wins did he actually bring the team back to win? How many of his wins did he actually throw for over 200 yards?

How many of his wins did he actually throw for over 200 yards? i would say there are many, many games where tyrod and the offense did their job, and the defense and/or coaching staff let them down. however, i would also say that i have seen tyrod's limitations as a qb completely hinder the team by not gaining first downs/scores when needed, and given the opportunity. love tyrod as a human being, but i have serious reservations about him as the team's qb. peterman may not ever be more than a backup, but finding out would be a lot mor fun than treading water in another 7-9 season.
