    Yeah that's crazy. It's excruciatingly long and the boat keeps sinking.....little too close to home as a Bills fan

    One of the many reasons this board is better than the others.

    Right now, for all practical purposes, Taylor is the answer - until proven otherwise.

    Im sorry that you base your perception of people on what other people think.

    TOO answer your question, No, I dont give 2 flying s***s what this dumb players poll says, it's still too early to tell what kind of player Tyrod truly is.

    Who gives a **** about the top 100 list ?
    Its like using the Pro Bowl for measuring greatness. They are both popularity contests.

    As for TT I don't recall too many people anointing him already. Most posters are cautiously optimistic but perfectly aware that it could've all been a one year wonder.

    This is the year we find out more.

    After the last decade of QBs if you aren't happy to see TT in a Bills uniform I suggest you get some reality counseling.

    Flutie - 17 wins, 8 losses in 1998 and 1999
    Bledsoe - Had an amazing first half of the year, then became nothing, so fair point
    Holcomb - NO ONE was excited about this
    Edwards - VERY FEW were excited about this
    Fitz - is still a quality starter in the NFL, if not an elite one
    Orton - was only serviceable - no one said he was a standout. Simply better than EJ

    Too early to tell on Tyrod, period, so your point is taken

    Hmmmm...dunno about that. Seemed to me there was quite a bit when he led us fast out of the gate in '08.

    the list is created and voted by the players themselves, these are guys seeing 1st hand head to head what the players are.

    What, no love for Robosack, or Todd the Eternal Backup Collins? Also, where is JP Loserman?

    Seriously though, 1997 was not necessarily all Collin's fault. Flutie was enjoyable to watch. BTW, last word on the whole QB controversy that ensued, IF Flutie had won at Miami in 1998 in the wildcard or Robosack won the wildcard at Tennessee (both decided by Refs) there would be no controversy. As for Bledsoe, well he was washed up but he is still better than anything we have had since. However, I am not quite ready to write off Taylor just yet. Also, you forgot EJ

    of coarse he is, if he played d-end they would bring in 15 and take a look, not the QB position, at least bring in some competition.

    Bring in competition to split the reps like last year? There is not much of a point to it this year. He won the job and performed fairly well in his first year as a starter - why go through that again?

    Now they want to see what Taylor can do as the clear #1 heading into camp. I want to see it too.

    TT is a black JP Losman. We have already seen his ceiling so I hope the Bills are planning on drafting a QB next draft.

    you never can have enough talent at any position esp. the QB position. any team that settles for what it already has unless its a tom brady Arron Rodgers guy thats already produced will not make the playoffs. Don't be surprised if the Bill's land in last place this year in the afc east.

    If you think that bringing in one of the journeymen that are available will vault the team into first place, then more power to you.

    don't want the guy to take TT's place I wan't a reliable back up for when he go's down with injury like last year, and its gonna happen.. TT is just to small, they have him listed at 6' but my cousin is 6' 2" and said at a signing session that he looked way down at TT, said he didn't think he was 5' 10..
