    QB is already known at OBD!!

    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.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    Interesting theory.

    But a lot can change in 49 days.

    If Cassel looks bad in the preseason games, they'll have no choice but to roll the dice with EJ or Tyrod, if one of them (or both) perform better.

    And I'm saying this hypothetically under the pretense your theory is correct.

    I think the jury's still out on that.

    After about 10 days of watching Cassel, Terry Pegula is going to take Whaley into the vault & show him a ton of money. Then he's going to tell Whaley that some of that money better disappear by next season & land in Philip Rivers' pockets.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    I imagine the Bills have a favorite but there is no way they know beyond a shadow of a doubt who the starter is as of today. I think most would favor Cassell but hope Manuel finally has it click.
    COMING SOON...

    I'm voting for Taylor because I don't know any better.

    Cassel offers no upside. Going with him would say nothing has really changed.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    According the multiple media reports, Cassel did not do very well in OTA's.

    Cassel is not a good fit for Greg Roman's offense.

    Roman and Rex have one thing in common. They both love to run to football.

    Rex likes running backs. Roman likes running quarterbacks.

    Tyrod Taylor is the fastest quarterback in the NFL.

    Rex is the 1, Roman is the 2, isn't the 3 obvious?

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    Matt Cassel reminds me of the 2015 Bills version of Kevin Kolb.

    Cassel is like trying to place a square peg in a rubber mat with round holes.

    He's the last QB I want starting on opening day.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    If Cassel is supposedly already been penciled in as the starter, the Bills are in worse shape than I thought.

    I have zero faith in Cassel. He's a has-been that was not very good even at his best.

    If a decision is made to start Cassel, then you have already made a decision that EJ is not good enough and he should be cut before the start of next year. I just don't want to go into next year again thinking EJ may be the answer with another bandaid solution like Cassel or Kolb.

    Going into camp they can't afford to know who the starter already is among these guys or the season and the Ryan age of maybe is already over.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    I know everyone wants the athletic 1st round pick with some upside to win the job.....

    I love Bryce Brown and can't understand why he's behind Dixon. But he's getting cut for fumbitis and EJ is getting benched because he can't run the offense. Plain and simple.

    Cassel will be the starter.

    The only impact I can remember Brown making since joining the Bills is to help them lose a game.

    Boobie is not beast mode, but he is the closest thing to a beast on the Bills.

    I want Boobie over Brown without question.

    Re: QB is already known at OBD!!

    just no way its true that they have it figured out.
    Cassel didn't look good and only makes sense if you think this is the year for the superbowl and that they can manage a game well enough week to week.

    the bills still haven't been to the playoffs. So its an absurd gamble. yes, cassel may get you to the playoffs, but they aren't going any further. and once they are out, do you wnat to go into next year with cassel again? That should scare the crap out of everyone.

    Manuel/tyrod is going to have to get it. if neither of them don't, the great defense era of the bills will close with yet another losing team.

    I'm not disagreeing with anything your saying here. Chris Brown was on Sirrius this AM and basically said they need mediocre play at QB. The annoucers literally said "c-" play to make the playoffs with this roster.

    That's the way this team is thinking.

    The QB has to manage the offense and not make critical mistakes. This is exactly why Cassel wins the job. The annoucers were saying that Tyrod has a better chance of starting than EJ.
