Don't get Too Excited - All of Our QB's Still Suck

[k-oneputt]

Point in case why you don't let the lead lib into the football section.

There are valid reasons to be on both sides of the "excitement" equation.

Our coaching is better, our defense should continue to be stellar, we have tons of play makers on offense, our OL is massively improved and so on

Then again as much as our QB's played above expectations. Which is something we can all agree on they are still huge question marks. Pre season is not a measure of success so as exciting as it was to see all 3 guys look like seasoned pros we really don't know what's gonna happen when the real bullets start flying. Our depth on defense at LB and CB is laughable to say the least. Ditto for the OL aside from Urbik.

Rex is gonna have to do a great job coaching and maximize the talent on this team. He's also gonna have to be very smart about the QB situation. My guess is no matter who's behind center that person is gonna be on a short leash. And we are also gonna need a lot of luck (injury wise)

Make sure the noose is securely wrapped around your neck first and then proceed.

Paint me happy that Matt Cassel did not get the starting nod. He's so similar to Orton and would lead the Bills to nowheresville. Boring football, dink and dunk, 5 yard passes on third and 10, punt after punt and FG's being seen as a moral victory is the surest way to continue being a laughingstock of the NFL and continue the 15 year curse.

EJ Manuel is still a puzzle. Strong arm and physical attributes abound, but, until these past few meaningless exhibition games he seemed scared ****less out there...afraid to make a mistake which made him mistake prone. A lot of the blame goes on the Marrone crowd that was the gang who could not hit the side of a barn. I really think Marrone was the worst coach the Bills have ever seen, and we've had our share of ****ty coaches.

Tyron seems exciting....but...during meaningless exhibition games with vanilla defenses and no game plans against him, it's going to be a whole different ball game once the season starts. A sixth round draft pick means he would have to be that one in a thousand exception in performing better than every scout and GM in the NFL missed.

Not likely.

The amount of QB busts drafted in the first round is enough to make your head spin. The number of middling starters coming from after the third round is almost nonexistent. There's a reason for that. Oh...BTW...Cassel was drafted in the 7th round.

The Bills are STILL in the same position with QB's that everyone in the league knows is true...we suck at QB.

Yes, I have the usual Bills fan early season optimism (what else do we have?) and sincerely hope that Tyrod has some hidden gift that will manifest itself in a magical run toward the playoffs.

But, the realism side of me knows that, until shown otherwise, the Bills QB's suck and the team will probably struggle to challenge for a playoff spot.

Why the **** do you have to post the most depressing ****. We have three QB's that have played extremely well all throughout the preseason and while that may not amount to much in your dark little world, it means a lot to true Bills Fans.

Keep your glass half empty posts in the Spin Zone from now on.

"All of our the qbs suck". Really? We don't know if Tyron does or doesn't yet. Nice try though.

Well, that's your choice.

I've always been excited for the season...and each and every game. Even during the depths of 1 win seasons.

I don't know how anyone can get psyched up for a season in which your head coach is really just a defensive coordinator and he named a running back as starting QB.

[swiper]

And cut the one player that everyone (fan, coach, player) looked up to after he ripped off a beautiful cut-back 40+ yard run against the Pittsburgh Steelers starting defense.

Yeah. Same old OBD. Pegula pulls another Ville Leino by hiring Ryan.

[gebobs]

To be honest, and based on his teammates as well as the fans in Baltimore, no one is surprised that Taylor is the starter. I couldn't find a fan that said he sucked. The general consesus was he would be a starter but not with the Ravens scheme, and obviously Flacco ahead of him.

I heard someone say he might be the next Joe Montana.

Oh wait, right. That was Trent. ;-)

Yeah, this team clearly has nothing else to be psyched for...literally nothing.

[Bill Cody]

""Let me inoculate you all against feeling even a hint of optimism because we're all doomed, head to the storm cellar and lock the door"...uhhhhhh....no.

If you feel that way....that's your business.

This thread is just an infusion of reality. If you can't accept the truth, then just go away, don't read the thread....and happily hum along that "everything is ok".

Don't get all pissed off when the obvious comes to fruition. You've been warned.

Thanks but this thread is merely an infusion of your opinion. The season hasn't even started, that's the reality. Your warning is very thoughtful though. It's like telling your mom you just met a girl that you think could be the one and her saying "I know the family, she'll probably give you the clap".

But I do like your idea about the humming, any ideas for a melody?

Our coaching is better

ROFLMAO. ummm. NO. Not unless he bests 9-7.

Yeah, this team clearly has nothing else to be psyched for...literally nothing.

LOL. Ok. When they start losing games, like Rex always does, we can call you Jo Fo Idunno.

Sounds hopeless. Well I'm sure there are going to be a ton of members that are going to miss your sparkling insights this year. Be sure to check back down the line after Rex gets fired, hear?

Ah, the old "infusion of reality" trick, eh?

Thanks for the enlightenment, but the reality is that nobody really knows how Tyrod Taylor will play in a real NFL game. Nobody has seen that before. What you call reality, I call opinion, speculation, and projection. THAT'S reality.

Now, the numbers say that most quarterbacks don't pan out in the NFL, so "the odds" are on your side. From the standpoint of chance or probability, you have more of a chance to come back and tell everybody " I told you so," when really your opinion was not based on any kind of real knowledge.

Weren't you the one that just said the season hasn't even started yet? Yep. That was you. Some idiot giving Bill Cody a bad name. LOL. Don't shoot yourself in the eye kid.

[Albany,n.y.]

The fact that a 6th round QB is now in his 5th NFL season & has never been waived shows he's already exceeded his 6th round status.

Here are 2 late round QBs who were waived & put on practice squads and didn't have bad careers: Matt Hasselbeck & Mark Bulger. Both were backups before they were starters.

[Pinkerton Security]

LOL. Ok. When they start losing games, like Rex always does, we can call you Jo Fo Idunno.

you didnt actually respond to his post though...not surprising for a troll.

Also, that was the worst slam ive ever seen. ever.

[Victor7]

ROFLMAO. ummm. NO. Not unless he bests 9-7.

Its not just Rex vs Douglas

Its the whole package. I think Roman alone makes it worthy.

Last year's 9-7 has a meaningless win vs the Pats backups and is mostly in thanks to Jim Schwartz and his defense.

ROFLMAO. ummm. NO. Not unless he bests 9-7.

Um...yes. Sexy Rexy has forgotten more about football than Morone will ever know.
