He was the fans preference and was at least as effective as Cassel in preseason so no surprise Rex named him the starter. We know the scheme will be to run the football the majority of the time and Taylor fits right into that scheme. Only time will tell if he can withstand the beating he may take. He does have a good arm and is fairly accurate but its hard to get a feel for his pre and post snap decision making yet.
I don't get overly excited about preseason performances because defenses are very vanilla, starters are playing less each year and they are not going all out. The Bills went 9-7 with EJ so there is no reason to think they won't at least match that. I think there is a real chance 3 AFC East teams make the playoffs and the Bills would be one of them.
I very much agree with that. And hopefully we win the division so the Pats and Bills can beat up on each other in the first round.
