    Don't blow your load. Peterman has played with and against backups, and has completed about half of his passes in brief appearances in preseason games. Peterman may (or may not) end up being better than Taylor, but there is no way in hell you can make that claim now.

    A Taylor trade would be idiotic.
    Big Taylor fan here, but if the organization has determined T T is not part of the future I'm not sure trading Taylor now is such a bad idea in my humble opinion.

    (Its not something I want)

    Tyrod isn't have a great preseason thus far, but it doesn't mean he has to go immediately. Man you people have such as super short leash. This ain't fantasy football. You can't just shuffle things around like that based on a couple preseason games with no game planning.
    Several factors to bear in mind:

    1) Taylor is having an abysmal preseason.
    2) At the end of the season, the Bills will have to renegotiate his contract or release him. His current deal insanely overcompensates him for 2018.
    3) He is not a good fit for this offense. His strengths are running the ball, rolling out and passing it to whomever is open, and the deep ball. This offense deemphasizes all three of those things in favor of short, quick passes.

    I'd much rather have a third round pick than a mediocre QB who's likely going into his last year as a Bill. The Bills would be foolish to keep him, unless they plan to start him. And the Bills would be foolish to start him, unless they plan to tank the season.

    Only the Bills could enter a race winding through city streets with an Indy 500 car. I hate losing but this has to happen. Sad part is the AFC East is so bad we could almost win it.

    How come none of your connected friends had you break the Sammy and Darby deals?

    This.
    Add to the fact that TT is not a quick thinker. If only Fitz were available , he would be fine in this system "AS A BACK UP"

    Calling people names is against TOS... Calling people F'g morons is instigating.
    We normally give people plenty of slack here... But this is ongoing crap.

    You must have missed the rant, where IC explained, that his brain isn't wired like our, so it's OK for him throw out insults right off the bat. But, please watch what you say to him, because, he's incredibly sensitive.

    Well this is the Buffalo Bills with the great puppet master Russ Brandan appearing to already be pulling the strings on McD/ Beane.

    I could swear Beane's nose is getting longer...

    We want a 2nd and they are all giving 4th rounders, Dallas / Eagles (potentially through a 3rd team) are in the mix from what I was told. Tyrod isn't long for Buffalo. Ragland is gone if we get anything around a late 4th round, Reggie is not going to make it here in the long run. I consider that the worst kept secret so I'm not starting a thread about that.

    Just to be clear, we always talk to the Eagles about a trade so that's not really out of the norm. Dallas can't get Kap and be America's kneeling team, even though he's their best choice.

    Any truth to the rumors of us entertaining offers for McCoy?

    I saw an article saying that Ragland for Indy's 2015 1st round WR would make sense.
