Both teams had injuries. But keep making excuses.

I voted Taylor, but, I'm alright with Cassel. As long as EJ never sees the field again.

That's not making excuses. He performed well even with the starters being out. That's not an excuse for poor performance, that's a great success.
Jesus Christ nobody is saying he is the savior. It's just that he's the best out of a crop of 3 unproven/poor choices. Why are you fighting that so hard? It's not even that impressive of a feat.

He's done absolutely nothing to show he's the best of the bunch, that's my point.
None of these guys have shown to be better than the rest so far and it's 1a, 1b, 1c with no discernible order.
In the NFL when you have 3 QBs, you have none.
Now you are being ridiculous. Logically speaking, 1 of them will better than the rest. That doesn't make him good, but there absolutely is a discernible difference between the 3 QBs.

How do you figure?
What has Taylor, since he's your dog in this fight, done to distance himself from Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel during the games?
Taylor led the first team offense to a FG, so did Cassel. Taylor led the second team to TDs, well Manuel led the 3rd team to TDs in both games.
Out of the group the best passer so far has been EJ Manuel but he screws up other plays that drags him back to the pack, like fumbling 2 out of his first 3 plays the first week or fumbling down near the goal line last night.
The OL can be blamed for those fumbles more than EJ.
And Tyrod has a better yds per attempt than Cassel.
Tsk, tsk BD... Haven't you heard that we mustn't use stats?

The fans clearly want Tyrod. The media likes the guy. I'm willing to bet the players are pulling for him as well. If any one other than Tyrod starts, I think Rex will lose the locker room.

Well, EJ & Tyrod both passed the eyeball test over Cassel as well.
I trepidatiously voted for Tyrod, just because I'm ready to roll the dice on somebody different. We all know what Cassel and EJ bring to the table, and it isn't enough. I don't want another caretaker with a low ceiling (Cassel) and if EJ could manage to play an entire game like he does the last two minutes I might feel differently, but so far he hasn't been able to do that.

Fred Jackson's comment the other day about Taylor being, 'the most physically gifted quarterback in the league,' pretty much sums up how the players feel.

I think Taylor won the job in the first preseason game, but last night sealed the deal. Taylor was very impressive, again.
In the face of adversity, he played excellent against the Browns. They had the NFL's 8th best passing defense last year.
If Cassel started that game, the Bills defense would have been on the field a lot more than they were and the quarterback competition would be over.
I love Tyrod Taylor's throwing motion. It's as quick as his decision making. He has the ability to extend drives more than Cassel.
Taylor was a very good, accurate passer last night with 2nd team wide receivers and fresh off the street running backs to work with against Mike Pettine's starting defense.

Tyrod's NFL preseason and regular season resume is worse than RJ's when he got here and been in NFL for 4 seasons whereas RJ had only 3. Oh and RJ was a 4th Rounder and Tyrod was a 6th Rounder. I hope Tyrod proves better but am not buying into the magic hype machine.

Lose the locker room huh? It doesn't sound like they're aligning to one guy yet from this article. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bill...elated_stories
Cassel
Well, I wanted Manuel, would have settled for Cassel, voted for Taylor.
Why ? To me, and it's just my perception, Taylor looks the most dynamic at this point, the best maybe, best wildcard, and not reckless in being so. Cassel just seems the most average, least likely to make a mistake, least likely to do anything that thrills you.
I like and hope for Manuel, really I do, but he seems to me to be the least decisive, the most passive, tentative, like he just struggles to make himself go balls to the wall on most plays. Does ok when he does in spots, then goes tentative and passive again.

Cassel is the embodiment of the past 15 years combined.
Orton, Fitzpatrick, Edwards, Losman, Bledsoe, and Johnson.
Insanity.

Tyrod's NFL resume to date is worse than all of the QBs you mentioned. So what makes you think he's the answer?
What resume? Taylor doesn't have one.
What makes me think Taylor is the answer?
Did you watch the first two preseason games, The Jokeman?
Even Ray Charles can see the difference, and he's a blind dead guy.
