All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
None of our draft choices are QB's and few of them are slated to start. Very different scenario. Taylor is not a rookie either if that's what you alluded too
It's not for any of the three. How the hell you go into a season with a sack full of manure at the most important position on the field is beyond comprehension.

Who would you have had them get to compete for the QB job?
Obviously the Bills haven't come out and announced the starter but they already know who it is.
After reporters tried to dump praise on EJ after the conclusion of OTA's Rex almost scoffed and said the film tells the tail of what they are trying to accomplish.
Kyle Williams was on Sirius and basically excused Cassel's performance and said the defense was instructed to "throw everything at the offense" in support of the hosts contention that Cassel would be the starter.
Roman and Ryan eluded in the spring that the starter would be known when camp started. Our season starts in 45 days. There is no competition. This comes down to who can run the offense and that's the vet.
Ryan wants to win and with the exception of Fred Jackson's praise for EJ he's on an island.
Matt Cassel is this starter.
I think it was a given that Cassel was penciled in when we got him.

I don't think that's true at all. Cassel was brought into camp so they had at least one veteran in case no one else showed anything. You know what you get with Cassel, and its not great. He's no different than Orton was last year, an emergency fix. I don't think that he's penciled in at all.
Tyrod is a complete unknown, but he wasn't very good in college so im not optimistic. EJ admittedly hasn't been very good in his action,but hes who I want to win out. Everyone wants to throw EJ away, but he hasn't even had a chance to play 16 games yet. He has to be given a chance.
Well Cassel does have a lot of experience at LOSING.Winning, not so much.
Your quote, not mine, homeboy. And that's pretty misleading.
I know you prefer EJ and that's great. I'm on the same page as you in terms of hoping he can turn his career around.
But trashing Cassel's body of work doesn't make EJ look any better, so I don't see why you feel the need to do it. You did the same thing to Kyle Orton last season and he actually HAS a career winning record. So you're all over the place here.
The competition is still wide open. Be patient, young gun.
Disclaimer: The sentiment expressed in this post is strictly for entertainment purposes only.
Agreed. But right now a stop gap is all we can hope for.
I already know EJ doens't have what it takes. Taylor is a 3rd stringer at best.
Most of the stuff I read said that all 3 were pathetic beyond words. EJ included. Thus the equality remains and the most experienced guy will start. Cassel.
You're wasting your breath trying to reason with a blind homer. It's really low-hanging fruit.
You're trying to reason with a little whiny girl who is nothing but a lowly homer. The Bills TRADED for Cassel. Clearly they have hopes he wins the battle out-right.

LMAO at the TROLL.
The Bills drafted EJ in the FIRST RND. but they would rather an OLD MEDIOCRE QB they traded LOW RND picks for wins the job? IDIOT TROLL.

They also did not extend his deal, which tells me that they aren't sure yet and are leaving themselves and easy out if he does not win the battle.
That was another owner.... another GM (as fans that want to deflect blame from Whaley will claim).... another coach. The days of anyone owing EJ anything because he was a 1st round pick are gone.

NOBODY is saying the Bills OWE EJ anything.
But Rex has said it will be an OPEN Competition for the starting Job, and I will take him at his word.
And we all have heard how much Rex thinks of Tyrod as well.
I believe it really is an open competition for the starting job, but I think Cassel is the LAST QB in that competition that the Bills WANT to win that job.
