So Rivers gets a pass for having bad Olines, but no such regard for Taylor playing in flipping Buffalo?? Has he ever had a HOF RB/TE combo to dump off to like Brees and Rivers? Hell he won’t next season, hang him high now!

Ok tell me this, is rivers still the answer for the next 2 years? Do you wanna be strapped signing him for 30-40m for 1-2 more years? Think we can win now? Even if we make the right moves, I still think we don’t. Again, I’ll state this, Tyrod has a LOW CEILING we all know that. Comparable to Alex smith. Solid qb but neither are the long term answer for any team that’s why KC took a shot at Mahomes. That’s why they gave peterman a Chance. Call it garbage minutes but when we were up 40 on buffalo, tyrod actually led some solid drives cutting the lead. Fine blame the organization for not giving Rivers more shots at the chip during his prime, but he’s no longer up there. Even at Rivers best he’ll give you 4,000 yards, 31 tds 12 ints. At tyrods best he’ll give you 2700 yards 20 tds 6 ints 400 yards rushing 5 rush tds. One player is signed basically close to minimum while the other one is worth 30m more. I’d take a QB now. Sit him a year. Build the team. By the time he’s ready, we’ll be in a good position to go on a run.

This place is funny. When people bring up “excuses” for Rivers play like the play calling and lack of talent on the oline, they are criticized with it, yet somehow it’s okay to rationalize why a career journeyman QB failed in Buffalo. Taylor is not a deep ball thrower and never has been. His average yards per attempt for his entire career is 7.0. That is the epitome of a dink and dunk QB. He had to take a $10 million pay cut after the 2017 season or the Bills were going to cut him. The next year he was benched as the starting QB on a 5-4 team in the mix of the playoff race for a 5th round draft pick. Think about that - his coaching staff was so unhappy with his lack of production that they actually thought Nathan Peterman would be better than him. And then they cut him after the season. And this is guy who is suddenly going to be the savior under brilliant coaching of Lynn and Steichen. Yikes.

This is the plan the Spanii want to take into the new stadium? Are they purposely trying to bankrupt the team? This will be unwatchable. Tyrod at QB, pffft, might as well hold an open tryout. Where's that barf smiley....:killme:sigpic

What’s with all the Tyrod hate. He was clearly brought in as the stop gap/ transition guy. Is he going to be MVP? No but he has lead a less talented team to the playoffs. Everyone acting like it’s Craig Whelihan 2.0. We need a steady vet presence that won’t create a ton of turnovers and he checks that box.
