The Buffalo Bills are hosting quarterback Tyrod Taylor on a free-agent visit, according to a source.

Taylor, who played at Virginia Tech, served as the backup to Joe Flacco for the past four seasons after being drafted in the sixth round in 2011.

Intriguing talent, he's sort of like Michael Vick with better passing accuracy. T-Mobile (his nickname) could be a dark horse candidate for starting QB if the Bills want him.

He's not as accurate as Vick or for that matter EJ. He's basically never played in 4 years in the league. I'm against carrying a 3rd QB which is what he would be here.

Re: Bills hosting free-agent QB Tyrod Taylor

you have an old cassel who was hurt last year and ej who has beenhurt in the past.

i agree the 3rd qb typically is useless on a team with an unbreakable starter. i don't know we have that.

plus the 3rd qb is allowed to get on the field during a game and can be used as a utility player occassionally.

Camp body, or guy to stash on the practice squad in case of injury.

Re: Bills hosting free-agent QB Tyrod Taylor

If he was the primary backup then he isn't likely to be practice squad eligible.

This is a waste of a pick unless their moving on from EJ.Taylor is a backup and never has been or will be a starter in the NFL.If you want to bring a guy in thats been a starter bring in Moore and let him,Cassell ,and EJ compete for the job.

It's called due diligence. I have no problem with the Bills bringing in whatever QBs they want.

And they were saying the same things about Brady when Bledsoe went down.

Mobile and inaccurate is something we're stocked up on

I think I'd rather see a flyer on a Bryce Petty or that Colorado St. guy in the 3rd or 4th if we're looking to add another QB.

That said, I have no problem with them kicking the tires.

EJ might set the league on fire with our new "just give the ball to Shady" scheme.
