    With No Clear QB, OC Hire Will Be A Leap Of Faith

    Jones and... ????

    Wow. God bless anyone that accepts that position. March and April will add 2-3 more but it will be crazy until names are identified.

        Despite liking McDermott, I've already concluded this can't end well.

          For $27.5 million? That's nuts.

          McDermott has every reason in the world to let Taylor walk, and give Cardale Jones the opportunity to become what the Bills have been looking for since that game against Jacksonville on December 28th 1996.

            I said rather than take Foles, I'd rather stay with Taylor...

              Things change.

              If the past dictated the future, the Bills would have won at least 3 Super Bowls by now, and the Patriots would still suck.

                Unfortunately Imp, often it does. Taylor is coming back, you watch.

                  For $27.5 million and another 3 years worth of mediocrity.

                  The Pegula's have moved on from Taylor. If they thought Taylor was the long term answer, they would have let him play in Week 17 against the Jets.

                  I don't think anyone on this board would say Taylor is the answer to the Bills franchise quarterback question.

                    You'll be antagonizing people in a couple months saying it was the right choice though, Imp.

                      The Pegula's have long term vision.

                      If Terry Pegula let every setback he encountered in his life effect him in a negative way, he wouldn't be a super successful billionaire with an amazing wife.

                      They don't want to repeat the mistakes of Bills past with a stop gap QB in Taylor, and Taylor is not going to restructure his contract because he and his agent know some other team will hitch their wagon to the ground instead of the stars.

                        Oh come on, Mace. You know I'm not that kind of guy. Dwelling on the past is not my style.

                          True. We had Tyrod Taylor as a 2-year "patch," but our illustrious GM did nothing in that time to fix the position. I wouldn't hate Foles as the next 2-year patch. I always liked him coming out of college. But he's nothing more than a patch at this point or a second-stringer. He could end up being the next Ryan Fitzpatrick in this QB-starved league though.

                          Taylor only comes back if the Bills can get him to re-do his deal to something more in-step with his production to date. If another team steps in, say Denver, that is willing to pay him more than the Bills then he's still gone. At least the Bills should be privy to how well this surgery goes.

                          Either way it looks like the Bills will be, again, looking for a short-term patch again while, hope against hope, the GM goes about securing a QB for the future.

                            Why? Do you forget that Foles had the best rating of all QBs in 2013?



                            His ceiling has been higher than Taylor's.

                              Foles, Jones and Mahomes in Round 2 isn't a bad group.
