    LOL You may want to make an appointment yourself.

    If Tie Rod Taylor sees anything but mop up action in the preseason, the Bills may as well start making reservations for Cabo in January.

    Mop up action?

    Tyrod Taylor is going to wax the floor. Don't slip, gebobs.

    Why make reservations they'll have to cancel, that is as dumb as thinking the Bills can't win with Tyrod, or can win with EJ.

    The amount of unbridled optimism over this 3rd string career back-up's chances of taking the Bills anywhere is absolutely ridiculous. And in lock-step with most Zone posters views of the Bills.

    Maybe we should re-sign Ruvell Martin, he has the strongest arm amongst wide receivers.

    He was not a bad receiver either.

    So many mistakes.
    First, he was second string.
    Second, he was there for one contract where he was the backup for a QB that was for a short time either the highest paid QB or one of the three highest-paid QBs (I don't recall exactly). So taking about a career backup is a overblown. We are not taking about Steve DeBerg.

    You might be right that he will not start. But saying that he has no chance is stupid, given that the HC likes him and that the other twos suck.

    And if you mean 'winning a Super Bowl' by saying 'taking the Bills anywhere', then that is an easy bet. For each new QB it is highly unlikely that he wins a Super Bowl.

    The guy could be Mark Brunell, or he could be RJ. There is only one way to find out.

    How closed minded are some Bills fans? Tyrod has been a back-up all his career to a better QB then the Bills have had since Kelly, let's write him off as a career backup. This isn't the Green Bay Packers we are talking about. The Bills have a Journeyman in Cassel and former 1st round pick EJ, who has been a disappointment so far. In my opinion, they are all starting out from the same point, zero. Is it unrealistic to think the most impressive guy should win the job?

    So what do you think the odds are that T-Mobile ends up being the next Kurt Warner or Aaron Rodgers vs the next RJ or Brian Brohm? Hell, what are the odds he even becomes the next Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson?

    The chances he become Aaron Rodgers? 0%. The best thing you can hope for is that he can be a poor man's Kaepernick. Even then the odds are much better that he becomes another Rob Johnson then Kap. All I'm saying is, that I haven't seen anything from the other 2 guys to think he doesn't deserve an equal shot.

    The great part is that they will fly or crash on the field and I'll enjoy going to camp for a few days to watch it begin and continue to observe it in the pre-season.

    Sorry but it won't be decided on a message board. Pick your favorites and crush anyone that doesn't flock to your temple. Doesn't work that way.

    LOL. Did you see Kaepernick last season? He's been figured out.

    How many running QBs have to come and go with careers of only 2 -3 productive years or less do people have to see until they go back to wanting a traditional drop back passer who can put the ball into the hands of wide receivers and let them use their legs downfield as opposed to the QBs in the back field. Some people don't get it.

    Re: ESPN Insiders: Tyrod Taylor most impressive of Bills QBs so far

    The Bills and Bills fan has to start thinking like winners. Got to get rid of the loser mentality that has been so pervasive for twenty years here. Tyrod Taylor as starting QB? Is that the best we could do?

    Knee jerk question after reading my post: Welp, who do you think the Bills should sign as QB? Who's available right now that's better than what we got?

    Not my problem, I'm not in the Bills front office. It's their job to field the best team possible. I don't think the current stable of QBs qualify. Face it, we got three backup QBs vying for a starting position on an NFL franchise. Same damn story for years and years. Different coaches, different GMs, now different owner, same result: mediocre.

    We've been down this road before. The Bills' FO over value mediocre players, Bills fan warm up to the idea and then get hooked on it and start to rep them like they are all pros or something. Loser mentality, we need to demand better than Tyrod Taylor, Matt Cassell, and EJ Manuel.

    Let's hope one of these guys can set the table for the next QB the Bills draft. Right, we can't expect anything more than a place holder with these guys?

    Temper your enthusiasm guys, you're bound to be disappointed. It's not worth the energy. The chance any of these guys pan out for us is small.

    I hope whoever wins plays well enough to not lose us games, last years offense was hard to watch.

    Heath Evans was on the John Murphy show the other day.

    He previously predicted the Bills will go 12-4 on NFL Network.

    On Murphy's show, Evans said he thinks Cassel will be the starting QB.

    He said Cassel is SMART & has played well every time he has had a GOOD OC.
