I think some people are simply looking at the Buffalo passing attack with a skewed viewpoint. However, I can't sit here and defend Tyrod's inability to throw receivers open, throw with anticipation, or his lack of accuracy. He's not the ideal QB to build a team around, that's for sure. No doubt about it, he needs some work!
But simply saying that we have to move on from Tyrod because we have one of the worst passing offenses in the NFL is asinine. Don't forget that the compliment to one of the worst passing offenses is the best rushing offense in the NFL, and Tyrod plays a big part of that. All in all, Tyrod accounted for over 3600 yards and 23 TDs and co-led with Shady an offense that scored more points than the defense has allowed, which hasn't happened in a long time.
I understand the business side and the $30M he's owed in March but I think we have to pick it up. Yes, next year's cap hit is huge, but it gets significantly lower throughout the follow-on years of the contract, which is very team-friendly.
None of us wanted Rex here and we got our wish. Most fans are split over Whaley still being here and we can't change that. I can't see any of the top coaching candidates wanting to come to the dumpster fire known as OBD so that pretty much leaves Lynn as the obvious choice for HC. Not ideal, but it is what it is. I see no reason why our offense next year under Lynn and ran by Tyrod would be any worse than this year. You can pretty much count on a top 5 rushing attack (if we remain healthy) and with a full offseason WITHOUT Rex and David Lee, you should see some improvement in the passing game, which will only help the offense move the ball and score even more than we did this year.
