Because they are paying him money to essentially sit. Why not just go with Yates and Peterman and completely tank?

Every team pays guys to sit. The Seahawks payed Matt Whashiname $10M to sit because they realized he wasnt good. Happens all the time. Again, are you the Bills accountant? As for tanking, again, they dont NEED to tank. They built up a ton of draft currency so they can move up high in the draft instead of going out and Browning the season.

Yep Bryce Petty will go into the Jets backup HOF. Matt Simms, Brett Ratliff, Kellen Clemens, Greg McElroy, 

You are so far from understanding the point we are discussing its become a total waste of time to talk to.

Then why make him the starter? People here were asking why was McCown made the starter? We should ask the same question of Buffalo

Not really. The point is that you would rather see Petty play over McCown because it entertains you more. It has nothing to do with  Petty being “the guy” or McCown costing us draft position 

If you believed Petty was the guy why are you worried about draft position?

Yep.  They drafted Peterman, they definitely had to like him.  The guy was productive with 2 different programs, and there's a lot to be said about that.

Agreed that their 5-4 record is a bit of a farce.  Some fans around here are amazed that someone would make a QB change with a winning record, but unless you think your ceiling is high, 5-4 isn't a great record.  In their case, they've kind of maxed out their potential to this point.  And the Bills being in the playoff hunt with that record is more a reflection that the AFC is terrible this season.  

Let me tell you how & why this change was made. Unlike the Jets, the Bills are truly looking to upgrade EVERY position this year & next with a zillion draft picks coming their way. Also, unlike the Jets the Bills have a new staff eager to find out what they have in their young draft pick Peterman. 

So, they all took a quick plane ride to New Jersey & sat and watched in horror as the Jets, with a 38 year old loser take them to the woodshed, but...their was a small comeback in the 4th..a sign of life. But, reality stepped in & punched them in the face in a 37 point loss. So unlike the Jets Brass that look at a 5 point loss to Ryan Fitzpatrick, missing his #1 WR & scoring a whole 3 points in 59 minutes & 59 seconds, as a close game, the Bills do care about their future more than the RIGHT NOW.

But for a franchise that has not been to the playoffs in 20 years, to be in the mix and say “ahh no thanks, we want to care about the future”  is very ballsy and will get fans angry. 

The Giants did the same thing with Kurt Warner and Eli. 

The Giants has also just gone to the super Bowl 3 years prior

No the point is that the Bills are confident that after seeing Tyrod for 2 1/2 season that they know who he is and he won't win them a championship. The Jets after seeing McCown for 15 seasons should know who he is and that he won't bring them a championship. We can be 95% sure that Petty is not "the guy" but still want to see him in live game action to make sure since we can only base this on 4 games of experience.

Nope then you wouldn’t be worried about the Giants and Bills drafting a QB.

WE DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN START UNLESS HE PLAYS ACTUAL GAMES THAT CAN'T BE SIMULATED IN PRACTICE OR PRESEASONS.

WE KNOW THAT JOSH MCCOWN IS 38 AND IS NOT GOING TO BE HERE LONG.

WE KNOW THAT THE TEAM IS NOT MAKING THE PLAYOFFS.

THEREFORE WHY NOT FIND OUT IF A GUY CAN PLAY AND DUMP HIM IF HE CANNOT.

Is that clear enough for you?

Bad move by Buffalo. Taylor can play. That rookie better come in and play well right away. The teams 5-4 not 2-7.

This is a young coach making a reactionary move to try and fire his team up who have gotten blown out 2 weeks in a row. But it's the wrong move unless Peterman gets them to the playoffs IMO.

You are ignoring a few things:

1.  Peterman has looked good since camp and looked good against the Saints.

2.  T-Rod is due $16M next year.  The time to find out if you need him back is now.

But I already know he can’t. Because he already has had playing time and he couldn’t stay healthy or else he might have started this regular season

T-Rod is their Ryan Fitzpatrick. The only difference is that the Jets were not in contention last year when people wanted them to pull him. The Bills ARE In playoff contention which is why people are upset. The only way this works is if Peterson leads them to the playoffs. Then he looks like a genus

Point 2 is a fair point that I overlooked but the team is still 5-4 and in the playoff picture. Switching QBs at this point is a very big decision to make . In my opinion you have to be right when you make that move at this point.

They overachieved their way to 5-4, and got exposed by New Orleans at home.  They got beat down by 37 points and Tyrod only threw for 56 yards.

Sometimes, you change the QB to send a message to the rest of the team as well, much like NHL teams pull their goalies out for someone else sometimes.  Tyrod wasn't the only reason they got beat so badly by New Orleans, but he was a big reason.  Tyrod has never been their guy, so all they needed was a decent reason to make the switch.

The other only differences are that Taylor is considerably better than Ryan Fitzpatrick, is 28 years old and 10:3 TD/INT, plus another 2 rushing.  Not 12:17. 

There are more "only difference"s but that is enough for now.

You already know Petty can't because when playing with our Band of Misfit toys last year he got injured because the worst starting Center in the league hiked the ball at the wrong time and he took one of the most devastating hits a QB could take and because in preseason he had his leg rolled up on him by a lineman and suffered a 3 week injury? 

This is the level of intelligence we are arguing with here.

In his second year he’s been much better. Can’t say for sure in his first year

I think he also suffered a concussion in his rookie season. Am I right or wrong?

The saddest part about this entire thread is that Tyrod Taylor has been benched & he's better than any QB currently on our roster. OMG we are in such a sorry state offensively. Defensively a CB & pass rusher and we're set to roll.

Our offense is a disaster. Martavius Bryant would be the best WR on our team tomorrow,lol. Hell, a guy named Ju Ju would be too. Its a sin how long this ffranchise has ignored offense in an offensive leaning league. Sad.

There have been plenty of players that have started their career and had the injury-prone label on them only to turn it around and have successful career. If all 3 injuries were similar (especially if they were all throwing shoulder) you might have a point but luck plays a big factor in this as does experience (throwing the ball away quicker, moving away from fallen linemen, etc.)

I think Peterman may be McDermott's guy.

Who is in their second year?  What the **** are you even talking about?
