Well, why would anyone have some optimism...

[Meathead]

i believe ej MAY be our qb of the future. at best maybe 50% chance but still a chance

we know cassel isnt that guy, hes the qb of the emergency situation. and tyrod, well im not sure wtf he is. seems super unlikely he will be a franchise guy but you never know i guess

therefore, ej starts the season. if he doesnt show immediate improvement and effectiveness, then you go with mr emergency

This explains so much....

Moving on from personal attacks...

Taking Hundley or Petty wouldn't have been a lateral move. They both have upside, this roster has one QB with upside and everyone is pretty much done with him anyway.

Cassel is who he is, which isn't good enough. Taylor will never be an NFL caliber QB. Manuel has to have some upside because what we've seen so far can't be all he actually is, can it?

Just because you haven't thrown a pass in the NFL doesn't mean you have upside. If it does then we all have upside and should be competing for the QB job. What makes you think that Hundley & Petty who have never been to a camp have more upside than Tyrod Taylor who has made an actual NFL roster these past 4 years and whose offensive coordinator from last year wanted him to join him in Denver?

Hm, I asked why would anyone have optimism, for the sake of well, hope. I'm not seeing much of it. People can't be that certain we are doomed already in May, with a brand new coaching staff and some fixins to suit it ?

I can see why people would be dubious or wary, or suspecting the worst just because of past precedent, but this few people actually have any level of hope already ?

Bills are going 11-5 and winning the AFC east division this year.

sure would be mega cool of tyrod emerged as a legit player. i seriously doubt it but one of these times it might happen for us. rex sure seems to like him. but rex sure seemed to like tebow then proceeded to never use him. so theres that

That's not real optimistic. See, optimistic would be, Tyrod Taylor can emerge as a legit player and it would be mega cool.

I really like a couple of the UDFA's we brought in...I'm optimistic one or two of them will have a bigger impact on the team this season than most of our draft choices.

Got to have some hope or it is hopeless. Blue skies visions of maybe are fine in May. I'm liking WR Davis, LB Tarpley, DE Reed, and DL Hamilton, myself...

2016 will be our year for a QB.. hopefully.

Do you think one will fall to us with the 32nd pick?

I am optimistic that this team's floor is much higher than it was last year or for the past 10 years.

I don't think this team can lose more than 8 games.

I see us ending up anywhere from 12-4 to 8-8.

We have a true shot at making the play-offs.
