    Report: Split forming within Bills over future of Tyrod Taylor

    The **** show at One Bills Drive will never end....


    The Buffalo Bills are trying to put on a united front.Coach Sean McDermott insists he and General Manager Doug Whaley are on the same page, particularly when it comes to how the team is working through the process of deciding quarterback Tyrod Taylor's future.
    A report Friday, however, suggested all may not be kumbaya within the franchise. According to CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora, a "chasm" remains between the front office and new coaching staff when it comes to picking up Taylor's contract option.
    According to La Canfora, Whaley, team president Russ Brandon and senior vice president of football administration Jim Overdorf decided at the end of the 2016 season to move on from Taylor, who was benched for the Week 17 season finale after Rex Ryan was fired.

    McDermott and his staff, however, "are not convinced they will find an upgrade," according to La Canfora, and thus may be inclined to keep the quarterback.
    For what it's worth, McDermott, Whaley, Overdorf and team owner Terry Pegula dined together at an area steakhouse Thursday night.

      It never ends with this team. First off, why are Russ Brandon and Jim Overdorf, guys who ARE NOT talent evaluators, involved at all? Secondly, when they were hiring a coach, how was it not a prerequisite that he and the GM would be on the same wavelength regarding Taylor? Thirdly, I'm not a huge Whaley fan, but why does our GM -- who should be the boss on these matters -- seemingly have no power or responsibility at all?

      This kind of crap is the manual, step-by-step, of how to build a losing franchise. Pegula needs to clean house, hire ONE GM, then let him do everything.

        I watched 4-5 full games when Tyrod was in college. He is not a safe thrower. This was something that our coaching staff created with Tyrod. He threw down the middle and into coverage. It's a huge reason why he was a 55% cpt QB in college. I give him the benefit of the doubt in Rexs scheme. Rex preached that he wanted a ground and pound, low turnover offense. I consider this the number one reason why tyrod was the way he was.

        I've said it before and ill say it again. The Seattle game, SF game, and Miami game are the best representations of how he can be. All these games you would see him take the ball, scan the field, and go through multiple reads. I feel like the snap one read and run philosophy was more Rex than Tyrod.
        Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions

                This is how the conversation should go, it's not that difficult.

                McDermott--"We think we need to keep Tyrod".
                Whaley--"OK, if we keep him, we need to do A and B, and will only be able to fill out the roster with C's and D's. The other option is we let him go, and then we can do E, F, G, H and I."
                McDermott--either "Let's keep him and do ABC & D" or "OK, we might be better off doing EFGH & I".
                Whaley--regardless of the answer, "OK, we'll get it done".

                  I never get steak at a steakhouse, I refuse to be subject to such overt manipulation.

                    I despise Whaley just for these reasons. Instead of confusing the issue with all those meaningless letters, he should have tangible plans instead of them. Look, he even pulled McDermott into the confusion of EFGH & I, when McDermott started off by simply saying we need to keep Tyrod.

                        He has to use letters because he's really bad at math, as evidenced by our cap situation.

                          Both sides are right. They won't find a better option but it's still time to move on from TT.

                            I despise Whaley and think he's a ****ing imbecile. But anyone could have thought this scenario up and I don't give it any credence, it's just bull****. If we have leaks this bad, we have a worse problem than Whaley.
