    Nigel hit like a truck, never is the right spot but he got his licks.

      Yeah, I agree with that actually.

I wouldn't call him a top 15 backup. He's bottom of the barrel and his $750k salary with no guaranteed money indicates that. Quality backups get paid.

        Even if he gives the Bills a better chance to win right now than Peterman or Jones, it's not a good chance, and this team's certainly not going to the playoffs if Yates has to start games. I'd rather watch Jones or Peterman struggle and get some experience than watch Yates lead this team to defeat and waste an opportunity.

        The argument from many for keeping Yates on the team is that he's a veteran presence for our young QB's. Fact is Tyrod Taylor and Yates were both drafted in 2011 and Taylor has played in more than double the amount of games. People need to stop treating Taylor like he's some young QB that is just learning the pro game. He's been in the league 7 years and has played behind a Super Bowl winning QB and under a Super Bowl winning coach. Taylor is what he is, an exciting scrambling QB, with poor recognition, poor accuracy and poor game smarts in the passing game. It's not suddenly going to click in year number seven.

          Jones to San Diego, down to 52. The weeding out process has begun.
