The sun will NEVER shine.

Just wanted everyone to take my word on it.

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

Reading this thread made me realize I was too excited for this season. I just drove a nail into my left testicle which definitely helped dull my excitement for this season. Thank you for this thread.

Well....maybe you could not "find a fan that said he sucked" because he hardly played in any regular season games.

And, "sucked" is an expression. To me it means 'below the average performance level of NFL starting QB's.

In todays NFL it is very, very, very difficult to win when your QB's are performing well below the average NFL starting QB as Orton did last year.

Until proven otherwise, all three of the Bills QB's are 'well below the average performance level of starting NFL QB's.'

I will be using the Total QBR because its the most accurate and realistic rating of QB performance.

I agree Orton was below average, but the team still won 9 games with worse talent and coaching. And while Taylor is largely unproven, his running ability will strain defenses. But he did show some impressive accuracy on his throws.

Well, actually, you can get as "excited" as you want.

Thanks! I'll just ignore the thread title then.

Again, I am not "allowing" anything, nor am I limiting anything....that's all on you.

Phew..that's a relief. I'll set my excitement level back to what it was this morning.

Maybe I'm just the realist that will save you much emotional draining from being on the roller coaster of unrealistic expectations. Accept or reject...I really don't give a ****.

Actually, you do give a ****. In fact, you give enough of a **** to start an entire thread to let people know that they are going to be let down this year if they are too excited about our QB play.

I mean, I appreciate that you're trying save me 'much emotional draining from being on the roller coaster of unrealistic expectations,' but c'mon...we're all Bills fans. We completely understand what it's like to be let down and are able to cope with it...it's kind of what we do.

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

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

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)

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

""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?
