    I'll admit I have no knowledge of football X's and O's or anything on QB play. I use my eyes and what I see on the field each week, I watched every Bills game last year, and I, without a shadow of a doubt, do NOT want this guy on my team. He's a poor mans Mike Vick, inaccurate, can't read defenses, and has a hard time finding open receivers. He uses his legs to bail him out most of the time, scrambles till he eventually gets a receiver open, and then he misses them by 5 yards.

    If he's a Bronco next year we're not winning more than 6 games, and those 6 wins aren't because of Taylor, they're because of our defense.

    He definitely has the feel of a bust, whether from skill or injury prone, but we aren't there yet.
    It’s not the skill that concerns me. It’s his ability to read a defense and the reports of his maturity and work ethic. I still can’t figure out why a two time Super Bowl champion with a degree from Stanford would draft a guy in the first round who scored so low on the wonderlic.

    I don't think we really know how well he can read a defense, because again, we only saw less than 6 quarters I believe, and there were some good things in that last game.

    Based on what I heard from reporters, while he was immature and seemed to think the job was his during his rookie year, they said he showed a completely different/better work ethic this off season.

    I'm not saying he's not a bust, just that this was largely a lost season in terms of knowing. That ankle injury preventing him from starting the last four games really was bad timing from an evaluation standpoint.

    This might be a defeatist mentality but I'd rather win 5 than 6 and get a better pick. If you're gonna be shit, be better at being shit.

    I'd take Foles over Taylor as starter in a heartbeat.

    Can you expand on what this is showing? I see a middle-of-the-pack guy.

    Maybe slightly better than middle, which is way better than what we have.

    I look at Taylor as a stopgap. If we don't get Cousins then we draft QB at 5 and bring in Taylor until the Rook is ready.

    Exactly. I don't think anyone is saying that Taylor is a franchise guy. But we need a plan B in case the cousins thing doesn't happen. And of the plan B options, Taylor is about as good as it's gonna get.

    14 TD's, and sacked 42 times for a scrambling QB behind a decent O-line. What's he gonna do behind our pylons?
