Wow. Tyrod. First big error by Schoen and Daboll.

Tyrod was a QB that changed the swagger.  Before him losing was acceptable and he showed so much heart to get us victories.  He wasn't the best QB but I would take him on my team any day.

He is a tone setter.   5am workouts, first one in, last one out.   I'd take him on my team any day.

I don't think he showed heart, he was perennially afraid to throw the ball. Some QBs are gunslingers. Tyrod played the game scared. Avoiding turnovers was his #1 priority which is a lame way for a quarterback to approach the game. He had more than a jersey number in common with Trent Edwards. Ryan Fitzpatrick for example was gutsy and a vastly better quarterback.

 

I remember Tyrod running out of bounds to take a sack for a loss rather than throwing it away because he was so hard-wired to scramble around and stay safe rather than just...throwing...the football. I know teammates liked him but he didn't seem to have much of a leadership presence or aura really.

Was Tyrod the one who ran out of bounds fairly uncontested, short of the 1st down marker on 4th down.

Kyle Orton had "the slide"

 

 

Trent Edwards had a number of cowardly decisions. 

 

Generally speaking Tyrod avoided risks. I don't recall anything that I would call "cowardly" though

I will never diss the first Bills QB to break the playoff drought. He gave us some solid if unspectacular performances and was very smart with the football. I was at a home game vs the Raiders under Jack Del Rio where he threw 3 TDs in a very impressive win. He was a good guy who represented us well. Probably the only good legacy from the Rex Ryan days.

His house has no windows, his room lights are off and his sleep visors are on. He’s napping and his basic signings have been on autopilot. If he brings in someone with clout, maybe I will reconsider. 

I really really hope for the bills sake they do what you want.....what on earth would they do without your fandom?

Oh come on, can’t a guy have any fun around here lol 

Of course you can, if whatever you're doing here brings you joy. 

 

But don't act surprised or persecuted when more sincere, reasonable users of this shared space call you out for doing...whatever it is you're doing.

Grant is better than McKenzie. Would have preferred him. I know people get mad, but it is what it is. Grant just has that vision on returns. 

 

Isaiah McKenzie has never really gotten enough consistent offensive snaps to see what he's capable of.

For the most part, it's been a gadget play here and there.

 

I do know that against New England last year (2021) and the last game against Miami in 2020, he was pretty much uncoverable.

 

Last year was also his first year as a returner.  So he still has room for growth and improvement.

In terms of the return game, you either have it or you don't. Grant has crazy vision and he explodes through the middle of coverage teams. I don't see that with McKenzie or Stevenson honestly. 

 

I do think McKenzie has a role as a receiver, and the one thing I will give him is that he is younger than Grant. He seemed to play well in that NE game because they insisted on playing him man with a big slow corner. But he was excellent in that game. The Miami game was a meaningless game.

  1. McKenzie's contract is about half of Grant's.
  2. To paraphrase the old Irish saying, "The Devil you know..." McKenzie has been with the Bills for 3 years. They know him, his character, abilities, and personality. He is a known quantity. He's well-liked and well-respected within the organization.
  3. On his only punt return in 2020 he scored an 84 yard TD. I would definitely consider this exploding through the middle of the coverage:

 

 

 

I believe Lil' Dirty has untapped potential as a returner, especially after studying under Andre Roberts. I believe his benching last year was botched by McDermott. Moreover I'm not convinced that Jakeem Grant is a better investment than McKenzie. Especially at twice the cost.

Some proposed Rule changes

 

 

 

I like the Titans proposal. I doubt it would have helped us this year tho. Our defense was struggling to stop chefs. 

 

Edit- Did people miss their last three drives where they did any and everything they wanted with little to no resistance?

The Best part of this it is other teams making the proposals not the Bills.  Where people would put it out there as crying no doubt.
