We have a franchise QB but some of us can't see past ourselves to admit it. Does anyone else realize that for the first time in a long time we all thought we can win because our QB can lead us ?? Didn't this click to everyone this Sunday ??
Last time this happened for me was Jimbo, not a moment since. Taylor has to learn by playing but the guy can play, big time. You guys better get over yourself and enjoy, you may never know when moments of joy will show up. I'm elated.

We only managed ten points at home against an average opponent.
So after that long quest for a franchise QB, we are getting the same results that we got with JP Losman, Kelly Holcomb and Trent Edwards. Yay!

Settle down. Neither of the ones you just mentioned played anywhere nearly as well as Taylor has in his first 4 starts. Am I ready to anoint him? No, but he looks like the best chance at being a good QB the Bills have had since Bledsoe.
Point is, we've had 4 games with Tayor as a starter: 2 good ones, one bad one, one really bad one. The results are the same mediocrity. So, either he's not the franchise QB or we still don't have the right pieces around him.
down boy

Tyrod hasn't had a bad game yet. I don't know what you've been watching.

You'll all be taking tea bagging on his next few wins, he's night and day better than everything we've had since Jimbo. Do you see how he naturally steps out of trouble and protects himself, kinda reminds you of Flacco now doesn't it ? So we have a Flacco prototype with speed and accuracy (70%+ thus far). You guys do remember that I'm not a homer by any stretch right ? Tyrod is a top 10 QB in the league right now, right out of the box.
Prepare.
I'm not even sure if Tyrod is better than Fitz.

He looked lost against NE for 3 quarters. Last week he didn't make near enough plays. The only stat that mattered in that game was the scoreboard, 10 points. No where near good enough. That was Trent Edwardsish, he played safe. If you need 4 yards don't throw a 3 yard pass.

Wasn't talking about Tyrod. I was talking about the team as a whole. We were told all this time that QB play was holding this team back. Now we are getting good QB play but still getting the same mediocre results in the W-L department.
lol
He was "very" good vs NE you are correct !

Did you notice what happened Sunday when they started calling passing plays that made sense? I hope Roman watches the film and learns that screen passes won't work until you back the corners off. Let Tyrod throw it on 1st down.
I'd also like to see a few more designed runs, but I can also understand not wanting to put Tyrod in harms way unnecessarily either. I thought the play calling Sunday, the first half especially, was ultra conservative.
BillsImpossible (10-06-2015)
It's not his fault 2 TDs were called back due to penalties.

Premature anointing is an issue for some Bills fans. Talk to your doctor today!
Taylor looks good man. He really does. But its been 4 games. Our 2 wins have come against a team that has already fired their coach and a Colts team that could be winless if not for a miracle win lin week 3 and the Jaguars kicker missing 3 fgs a couple of days ago. I'm not impressed.
We've lost the 2 games vs the much better teams and he played pretty mediocre in both of those.
Too early to call Taylor anything on either side of the good-bad equation.
Lets be excited he hasn't completely stunk up the place but to already call him a franchise QB ?? That's just flat out idiotic. Trent and Fitz both started a couple of seasons better than this. We should know better.

No, but penalties do happen and they have to be overcome. There were a ton of points left on the field last week. Why does TT get a pass?
Isn't it bad enough we get thrashed at home we have to put the turd on the bun and call it filet?
If you think TT was the problem yesterday, sir you don't understand football. We kept trying stupid running plays that were diagnosed out of box, TT threw us out of trouble when called on.
Hell, it's waaaay too early to anoint him the definitive starter for next season, let alone crown him as 'franchise'.
