    Tyrod Taylor Wins The First of Three Minicamp Practices

    One down, and two very important practices to go tomorrow and Thursday.



    Two practices are all that remain in the Buffalo Bills’ offseason.
    Two mandatory minicamp sessions, on Wednesday and Thursday, are what separate the players from a six-week hiatus before preparation for the 2015 season shifts into high gear during training camp.
    The Separation has begun, thanks Vic.

    Thank you, Sal Capaccio for being the only sports reporter in Buffalo to tell us Bills fans who you thought won the first day of the quarterback competition in minicamp in your most thorough objective sports reporting opinion.

    I went to wkbw.com to find a shred of information from Joe Buscaglia to no avail, wivb.com same thing, and wgrz.com had nothing to say either.

    Although not perfect by any means, and still some plays and throws that each would like to have back, as a group, Tyrod Taylor, EJ Manuel, and Matt Cassel all had their collective best day from those the media has been able to watch.

    Taylor was the most effective of the bunch, hitting on a high rate of completions in 11-on-11, as well as tossing at least three touchdowns in 7-on-7 red zone work. Taylor rotated reps with Matt Cassel with the first-team offense.

    Something has to be said about the two quarterbacks taking the rotated reps with the first team on day 1 of minicamp.

    Taylor and Cassel started day 1 of minicamp, probably because they earned it.

    EJ Manuel got 2nd team reps and showed why.

    Manuel worked mostly with the second-unit, but looked confident in the pocket and took chances. A couple of those chances resulted in big plays. However, he also short-armed a couple passes to the sideline, which has been a theme several times during these practices.

    The theme called EJ Manuel got 2nd team reps to begin minicamp, and Tyrod Taylor was the most effective of all three quarterbacks.

    Will EJ get first team reps tomorrow? Why should he?

        Not sure. Vic says Manuel stood out. http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/06...s-of-progress/

        There is the stats line like Sal was based on, but there is also the subtle play changes like Vic singled out in his article on Manuel's one play. I'd think that kind of play happens more often than the outside viewers know and most won't go for big play like that particular one from Manuel. Regardless of your opinion of Manuel, you have to agree that there is a growth on his part.

          One of the Bills beat writers on Twitter said that Cassel was the best yesterday.

          So three different beat reporters, three different answers.

            None of this matters.

            These QBs are all complete garbage.

            Our best hope is that they can successfully manage a hand off and/or dump pass to LeSean McCoy.

            And let the defense do what they do best.

            And pray to God it's enough to reach 10-6 for once.

              There are 4 QBs on the roster. Taylor is merely making a play to remain a part of the final roster. No more than that.

                      The article Sal wrote for WGR said that Tyrod had the best day.

                      Sal said EJ hit some big plays but missed some short stuff on the outside.

                      IMO, the most important thing the Bills QB has to do is avoid turnovers.

                      Limit the INT's & fumbles, score a few points & this team will win a lot of games.

                        And Cam Newton who just signed a huge contract with the Panthers, had a 58.5% comp rate last year compared to EJ's 58.6% rate over 14 games.

                          yea,but stats don't tell the whole story. I've watched Cam Newton enough to see (or believe anyway) that he is on target more often than EJ is. Cam passes the 'eye test' whereas EJ hasn't.... not yet anyway.
                          I came.
                          I saw.
                          I conquered.

                            I agree about stats, I'm not really a stats guy myself.

                            But the numbers say Cam is not on target any more than EJ.

                            And I watch Cam at least twice a year when the Panthers play the Bucs.

                            IMO, what Cam has to offer is BIG play ability.

                            We saw a little of that big play ability from EJ his rookie year.

                            Last year we saw none of that from EJ & I think that was because of Marrone.

                            We will see what EJ has to offer this year with the shackles off.

                              im really looking forward to seeing ej start a few games now that hes had his chance to stew and watch and learn. should see a completely different guy. whether thats good enuf to keep the job idk but right now im seeing it as quite possible, maybe fitty pcent. if he does i think we will see some cam in his play, maybe less big plays but higher compl pcent and more consistent drives
