Andy1 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 There are things I like about Tyrod, but its time to move on... We gave him more opportunity than most other teams would. Hopefully some other QB needy team falls in love with him and chooses him instead of drafting a QB ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) 12/3/17, 5:53 PM #Bills QB Tyrod Taylor will have tests on his knee, but he has told people close to him that he’s going to be OK. Believed to have avoided major injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys with a lot of heart but could never get over the hump. I lived Fitz too but side-by-side there is no comparison. Fitz made too many mistakes.

Steptide Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 If Peterman starts the rest of the year I'm fine with it. I think if Taylor is healthy, then they should start him to keep us in the playoff race. If not, I'm genuinely curious as to what Peterman can do with these next 4 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) It is. I agree. This is an easy way out of it, actually. Onto the Rosen/Darnold/Mayfield/Jackson/etc era Edited December 4, 2017 by transplantbillsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) The writing was on the wall when he was benched during the final game of 2016. He's a decent player, but OBD wants to go for someone that play the position at an elite level, even if it means walking away from someone who's close to average at the position.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I won't even watch another game if Taylor is the QB, at this point it's pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 3 hours ago, ChicagoRic said: I have a been a pretty staunch Tyrod supporter, but this loss coupled with this injury make it the end of the line for him. It gives the coaches and management an easy answer regarding the QB decision for the rest of the year: "Taylor is not 100%, so are going with Peterman." Won't matter if Taylor is 0% or 99.9%, they have talking points to move on from him. Ready to see what Peterman can do with a full week of snaps in practice. Got a link on this?

I do think TT has been better in Buffalo than Fitz and yet I think the way he has played the position has given us no better shot at success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Not of fan of either of these QB’s. With saying that, Taylor will be starting against Indy if he is physically ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz is up on the list but a worse player. Kirby, It's pointless to argue over which of our bad qbs are worse. As I stated in another post I thought Tony Romo was excellent in his analysis of Taylor. There are fatal flaws associated with his vision that can't be eliminated. You are as aware as most that until this franchise dramatically upgrades the qb position this team will continue to lag. And you are as aware as most that there are so many other positions that need to be addressed before this team can be considered a serious team. This is a heavy-lift rebuild job!

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Can this coach just grow a pair of balls and name Peterman the starter for the rest of the year? Don’t even make it about injury. Make it about the pathetic passing performances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TEAMS have been better since Fitz, the QB play has been worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Stevie Johnson that fell off the face of the !@#$ing planet when he left Buffalo. 3 1,000 yard seasons. We could trot Jerry Rice in his prime out on that field with Tyrod and he couldn't hit him from 3 yards away. Tyrod is literally a Joe Webb or a Logan Thomas. When he puts a jersey on that designates him a running back, his career will start to turn around. Edited December 4, 2017 by Luka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridge Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: I like Tyrod but he wasn’t going to be back next year. He’s the best we’ve had since Kelly and is a decent NFL starter. With that being said this injury is the perfect out for everyone. Both sides can point to the injury allowing the Bills to run Peterman out there and Tyrod to save his value in FA. Either way the Bills are taking a guy in the first and hopefully they get it right. I would say: 1. Bledsoe 2. Flutie 3. Fitzpatrick 4a. Taylor 4b. Orton The "best since Kelly" narrative is both wrong and pointless. If you don't lead us to the playoffs it doesn't matter anyways. There have been several games in his career here where the defense stepped up and Taylor was lost. It seemed to happen the most in big games. I have very few memories of a Taylor leading the team to a defining victory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy he won’t be our QBs next year. I was happy when we moved on from Fitz too. Both marginal QBs that can’t get a team where they want to go. Joe Webb and Logan Thomas are awful QBs at the nfl level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
