My point is that Greg Roman made Kapernick into a viable option for a few years.

Taylor under Roman isn't as effective.

The argument that it's either we stick with Taylor, or we find Aaron Rodgers/Tom Brady is just wrong. There are better QB's in-between the two

- sbroads24




And Taylor has a 5-3 record in his starts with the bills and roman. Kapernick was effective 3.5 years ago in Romans system and weak NFC west. kap got him fired and harbaugh run out of the NFL. Kap sucks. These other QBs you mention that aren't brady or Rodgers are either 1st overall picks which the bills have not had or QBs that are extremely mediocre. Your really saying Andy dalton is the answer??? Until a hot start this year he has been a NFL laughing stock for his playoff failure. Matt stafford? Matt Ryan? What have they won. Look at their win/loss records. Laughable

I feel like some of these guys excelled (Larsson, Girgs, Ennis) when they were the best players on the team. I still think Larsson, Girgs and the right guy to fill in the last spot could be a heck of a 3rd line.

I thought he was going to really take off this year. I just kinda feel "meh" about him right now. I wonder if a lot of these guys are suffering from the line mate shuffle.

I don't dislike Kane, I dislike the notion that he's a star 1st line forward that will just all the sudden start banging them home. It's not who he is.
- sbroads24


He's a second line LW on a title contending team.

Matt Ryan has multiple playoff appearances. Matt Ryan is able to get the ball to his star wide receiver.

Matt Stafford has a 5,000 yard passing season and a playoff appearance.

Comparing Taylor to them is laughable at this point

In 2 of Taylors 5 wins, he's had less than 20 pass attempts

In another he had less than 110 passing yards.

We are winning games when our defense plays at a high level, or when we play Miami

These guys also have played a bizzilon more games that Tyrod has.
So maybe we should graph starts and accomplishments.
All I'm saying is those guys aren't so far ahead of Tyrod...better, yes.
Will,Tyrod get better with time? I think so. Will he be elite, nope.

Draft one every year til you find a guy. That said, they have been a lot of QBs who have been drafted, few playing and playing well.

I'm cool with Taylor starting through next year, but with his durability issues, we need to draft plan B

Don't twist your points to try and satisfy your arguments. You stated earlier we need to find a QB better than tyrod because we aren't winning the super bowl with him. You then name Ryan and stafford. What Super Bowls have they won? You then post their stats which not always equate to a good win/loss record. You post tyrods stats which yes are worse but don't put his win loss percentage which is higher than the matts. And again how do we draft Ryan or stafford without a 1st overall pick, where they were drafted. Did the bills have all these #1 overall picks I was not aware of to draft stafford or Ryan?

Interesting fact:

Only two QBs drafted within the last 10 years have won super bowls.

Flacco and Russell Wilson. Two guys who you put on buffalo are arguably the same team we have now.

So we missed on them. Again shows that QBs that win aren't everywhere which some people seem to think. The elite QBs are dominated by guys who won't even be in the league very very soon.

A. Matt Ryan wasn't a 1st overall pick.
B. I'm not blaming any loss specifically on Tryod, but better play from the QB last night and we win.

I'm done being average to below average at that position.

And your point about only 2 drafted QB'S in the last 10 years winning is kind of my point.

Brees, Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Roethlisberger even are all getting up there. I want to get a guy now that could potentially be in his prime when the league is wide open
