transplantbillsfan Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Taylor needs to take this very seriously, if he gets another it could affect his life down the line. I would make him unavailable until week 6 and protect him from himself. This is just sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 how do you know he works best for the team? are you basing this off preseason? I'm not going to deny the kid looks pretty good but I'm not going to crown him or claim he's the best for the team short or long term just yet. tuel looked good too and if I remember correctly fans were calling for him to start as well. if anything, peterman has worked hard and earned the back up position and he very well could be the long term back up for this team. if taylor is not ready I will look forward to what he can do with a real game on the line and will pull for him to have some success but as it stands, he is the back up QB. It has more to do with Taylor not appearing to be in Buffalo's long term future then anything and If thats the case evaluating Peterman serves more of a purpose IMO.

Best Player Available Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Looking forwart to TT putting up 3 td's. Two in the air one on the ground. And send home the pathetic jersey jets -- shutout. 21-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan60 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Right now Taylor hasn't participated in team activities at all (if I'm reading the protocol correctly that would include any mental prep). McD has refused, and correctly so, to answer any questions about Tyrod, so how far into next week can he go before making a decision on his starter that gives the team in the best possible chance to win. After watching the defense against both Baltimore and Detroit I think we can do some damage this year if the offense is even just good enough. What's the reasonable deadline, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday? Can't believe he'd put him out there without any preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what McD said, but how do you game prep when the strengths of the two QBs are so vastly different. This is one of maybe four wins we should count on as doable. I don't know if you can install a winning offensive game plan in a day or two. I get it, you practice Nate with the 1s till Tyrod is allowed back, What if that doesn't happen till Thursday?

JaCrispy Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I think we should start Peterman...what better way build his confidence , and get him acclimated to the NFL than playing the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a gut feeling, since you don't rush these deals anymore, taylor wont be starting game one. honestly, I think the game will be more interesting watching the rookie take his lumps and see how he does at game speed. taylor shouldn't rush a concussion. don't want to see them open the season 0-1 and 0-1 in the division. although, lurking about are the tank fans so losing may not be so bad for some?

This is how I see it. Taylor's not getting another extension, so him playing is like spinning our wheels. You find out if Peterman has the goods, if he does. We know and can plan accordingly. If not, well, we get our guy in the upcoming draft. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems reasonable, and it could get real interesting if he handles it and they win. Not so much for the team (it would just bring a whole new set of variables) but this place would implode.

I'm sorry Fig, but as much as I don't think Taylor's in Buffalo's long term future, he's got a better chance at it than Peterman, who might see 10 or 12 games, at most, this season. And even if Taylor were benched and Peterman comes in and looks really good, you think Beane (who played no part in drafting Peterman) isn't going to do everything he can to go out and get his guy in the draft with his stockpile of draft picks? Taylor and Peterman are both, at this point, longshots at being long term answers for this team at the position. But the reality is that Taylor has a more realistic shot at proving he can be this year than Peterman does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
