I was one of the supporters in this but for only one reason. It appears the Bills know Tyrod isn’t their guy and he won’t be there next year, so why not give it a shot? Yes they were 5-4 with him but barely 5-4 at that. That was mainly because of the running game and defense. It wasn’t like Tyrod was carrying them. He is an average or alittle better at best but younger and that is a plus for them. If they wanted to keep Tyrod and didn’t have any ideas of letting him go this offseason, they wouldn’t have done this. Plus I’m guessing they saw something decent in this rookie.
Yes it all blew up in their face but from what I heard on sports radio, this wasn’t just a coaches decision. Some players were behind it so that should say something. Bottom line, the Bills know their moving on and felt they needed to see if this rookie can give them a reason to not draft another QB. Can’t blame them for that and smart IMO. Something the Jets may want to adapt but then again, these idiots may want to keep McCown and I wouldn’t be surprised if they did. Same ole damn Jets. Disappointing as always in just about every decision they make. SMDH!!!
Note: If Peterman starts again this year like next week in fact, that will say even more how they feel about their QB situation.
