I would agree that this will happen. And didn't Whaley draft Cardale Jones? Now that Ryan is gone and there is a new coach, I wouldn't be surprised if he get the go-ahead to start. Whaley already seems like he is on the hot seat....might as well live and die with Cardale at this point?

Yes. He also drafted E.J. Manuel!

Crap. I totally forgot about him. Yeah, I guess he's higher on the pecking order in Both aren't his guy.

I agree, TT seems a lot like RG3. Don't think Hue gets it that this is not a little guys division.

Plus, our division is no better or more special that any other.

In what way? He's black and fast?

I know a lot don't care for TT. I'm a proponent. I don't veiw him as the future but I do think he is better than anything we've had outside of DA's anomaly. Depending on the team around him I think he's shown he can range somewhere from the 10 to 20 secondary range of qbs. The positives of going his route are plentiful. It saves us from this classes top 3. It solidifies the position for the time being while we strengthen the roster to support the qb of our choosing. While I understand RG has attributed to people not liking the idea of this move I don't think that's a fair point.

I think that if we sign Taylor, we are only prolonging the inevitable. We will still need to get a qb as I don't think he will be the long-term answer.

I would much rather we go all-in on Jimmy G and hopefully solve the qb dilemma once and for all.

I do understand there is a risk w/Jimmy G, but I also believe he is the ONE guy who has the potential to be a franchise qb.

I am not saying I am correct........I'm just sayin'......

I'm just tired of the 2nd, 3rd tier QBs. We've been doing that ever since Couch. Holcomb, DA, Hoyer, Garcia and those have been the better ones. I put TT in that category. JUST SAY NO TO BANDAIDS AT QB!

jmho

There is Jimmy G, though!

I don't know what it would take to get him, but I don't believe it would take the first overall pick. I know Diam has said that, but I really haven't heard any reports about that being the asking price.

I'm thinking #33 and our 2nd round pick next year will be a steal for BB. Maybe we can do better (for us meaning less) but I think at the end that is what we can do. 49ers and Bears I don't think will give up #2 or #3 so that means our 33 is better then their 34 n 36.

jmho we might have to sweeten it with a 3rd rounder next year or as I said 2nd rounder which we have two of.

Rapoport was discussing possible landing spots for Cowboys QB Tony Romo. He mentioned the Bills last in his appearance, but added, "From my understanding, it is probably a better chance they keep Tyrod now than actually cutting him."

Rex Ryan fired: timing stemmed from dispute over Tyrod Taylor


Rex could have coached in Week 17 but wouldn’t coach if Tyrod Taylor wasn’t going to be his quarterback.

We have more insight into the firing of Rex Ryan and the strange timing of the move. Ryan was fired a day after holding a press conference with local media in anticipation of the season finale and now we know why.

“According to multiple people with knowledge of the conversation, Ryan, Pegula and Whaley had had their standard weekly conversation last Tuesday,” wrote Jenny Vrentas. “That’s when Ryan learned of the organization’s decision to bench Taylor, the starting quarterback the past two seasons.”

Vrentas has a media-coach relationship with Ryan and has profiled him twice since he became Bills head coach, so this account probably came from Rex himself or someone near him. She notes Tyrod Taylor was the main reason for the odd timing of the split between the Bills and Rex.

“The Bills were already eliminated from playoff contention and there would have been a financial risk to playing Taylor. His $27.5 million salary for 2017 is guaranteed for injury only, so if he suffered a significant one in the season finale, the Bills would have been on the hook for money they may not want to pay. They also wanted to see the other quarterbacks on the roster, EJ Manuel and Cardale Jones, get some game action.”

Rex didn’t take kindly to that move being dictated to him, especially with reports swirling about his impending firing, Vrentas continued:

“Both were obvious signs that the Bills were not committed to Taylor—or to Ryan, who had handpicked Taylor to be his quarterback. So Ryan, who for a few weeks had been hearing reports of his impending firing, asked to speak to Pegula one-on-one. Ryan had made a promise to Taylor, telling him that he’d be the Bills starting quarterback as long as Ryan was the coach. Ryan didn’t want to break his word, and he was worried how the team would respond. If you are already planning on firing me next Monday, Ryan told Pegula, then you might as well fire me now.”

And so he did. Pegula fired Rex without talking about it with Whaley because he was put on the spot. Still, if Whaley and Pegula were leaning that way already, it shouldn’t have surprised the Bills general manager.

There is something to be said for Ryan’s loyalty to Taylor in this situation. At least now we have an answer as to the timing.

So we are going into next year with Hue as Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach.

Ed,

Do you think Tyrod Taylor is a good NFL QB?

Yes.

Why do you ask?
