Tyrod had a poor week and only put up 14 in my league this week, but last week he had 23, 29 against Seattle, 18 against NE, 26 against Miami, 23 against SF, 20 against LA, 19 in the first NE game.
He's averaging 20 PPG. Dalton is averaging 20 PPG. Flacco 18. Stafford 22. Palmer 20. Obviously he's no Drew Brees who's averaging 32 but not every QB is Drew Brees.
Taylor is a decent starter for fantasy purposes and a good backup.

Taylor threw for less than 200 yards against Oakland, even though the Raiders had a weak/questionable secondary. As usual, receivers were getting open without being targeted. The Bills' running game produced more yards than the passing game.
The Raiders have the 29th ranked defense in the NFL, the 24th ranked pass defense, and the 5th rated offense. You expect an offense like Oakland's to put up its share of points. But you also hope your own team's passing game can help balance that out.
Tyrod Taylor had 72 passing yards on that first Bills drive. The result of that drive was a FG. Taylor threw for 59 yards in garbage time. Of the 191 passing yards Taylor had for the game, 131 were from that first drive, or from garbage time.
On the three TD drives, Taylor had 27 passing yards during the first, 0 passing yards for the second, and 22 passing yards on the third. That's 49 passing yards, total, over the course of those three TD drives, compared to 146 yards from the running game on those three drives. 12 of those rushing yards came from Taylor. All three TDs were rushing TDs, including a rushing TD from Taylor.
As a passer Taylor did almost nothing against Oakland, except for that first drive (FG), and except for a few passes in garbage time when the Raiders were giving him the underneath stuff. The Bills needed much more than that from their passing game, if they were going to take advantage of Oakland's weak pass defense while keeping pace with the Raiders' dynamic offense.

I know he's my back up to Carson Palmer in one league.
Totally agree. The guy reminds me of a hybrid of Byron Leftwich and Jamarcus Russell. Why the hell would Whaley draft this guy?
Unfortunately, Cardale is still going to be our "developmental" guy next year, which will make it pretty unlikely that the Bills will draft a guy who REALLY has a chance to develop into something over time...just another complete waste of time, and that's my opinion.
We aren't going to draft any QB until WAY late in the draft unless we don't pick up Tyrod's option, ask me. We'll have Tyrod as the starter, and then Cardale as the developmental guy...the real projected backup up is likely to be a veteran we'll pickup in free agency somehow. Shaun Hill or somebody. I figure EJ to be gone.
The only way we'll get any sort of real prospect (if there is one) would be if they dump Tyrod. But I just don't think they are going to do that.
..my thoughts, not my wishes...

Heh. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if they keep EJ either. Whaley doesn't like getting rid of his guys, and whether it was he or Nix who drafted him, Whaley stepped up and said he was in the decision process. Not a lot of proven vet FA options who can wildcat or read option unless they get someone elses EJ.
You have to figure they will want a guy who can run their offense as intended, you can see how they intend it, and that means run.
Who should the Bills draft at QB and in what round? I'd say they'll probably take Chad Kelly in the 4th or 5th.
If the Bills follow the formula of getting an athletic QB later then sooner than Josh Dobbs would be on their radar. Yet Whaley knows all too well we're in QB purgatory so maybe he risks it all and drafts DaShaun Watson in Round 1.
If Watson is all that, he'll be gone well before the Bills pick (mid-1st). There are 4 (Browns, 49'ers, Bears, Cards), and arguably 6 (Jets and Jags), teams who will draft before the Bills who need a QB.
I don't trust Watson but he might be the best QB available to the Bills in the 1st Round.
Doesn't matter. He'll be gone in the top-10.
Pass at 1:00 mark is a pass Tyrod cant see therefore wont make.

again, pass at 1:00 is what we're missing

This is the stupidest idea of the year so far. That guy is crap in a gift-wrapped crap package. ALL THREE QBS will be gone next year (thank goodness).
