We chose some of the better posts, edited for brevity and clarity, and present them here, along with Bills Digest editor Mark Ludwiczak’s take on what’s being discussed.

Issues with Taylor or Bills offense?

Is it Taylor you dislike, or the offense? Look at who’s posting this thread and call it “predictable” as I know a handful will, and that’s fine. But I’m keeping that word dislike, because it’s clear that there are some who won’t be happy with Taylor no matter what.

I don’t think he “improves” in the sense that he becomes Aaron Rodgers.

He’s probably not going to be allowed to even try...

I actually do think what we saw last year is about what he is/can be as a player, give or take.

He could be a little better. He could be a little worse. Depends on what you’re looking at.

Rex basically said that not only was Roman failing to plan to Taylor’s strengths, he was also neglecting his weaknesses. What we saw (against Arizona) might as well have been Taylor’s first week as a Bill.

I saw Taylor go through progressions on occasion and also saw him look off defenders, something that outside of the Clay bomb in the preseason he hasn’t shown much of.

I expect this to improve markedly over the course of the season. I’d also like to see them bring in a new QB coach.

I don’t understand why people are so eager to put a ceiling on Taylor’s talent when it’s very obvious that he’s been doing what his coaches have asked him to do. Why can’t he become Steve Young? Might be a stretch at this point for him, but the talent and drive is certainly there. I’d take Taylor over a guy like Cutler any day of the week.

1st & Ten with STEFON DIGGS

Stefon Diggs had one of the best seasons ever by a Bills receiver in 2020, and he’s looking for an encore. Diggs was clearly amped up and ready to go as the Bills began their preparations for the new season, leading the huddle and supporting his teammates as they kicked off training camp in Orchard Park. Diggs recently touched on his goals for the upcoming season for both himself and the team in an informative discussion with members of the media. Here are the highlights from that discussion.

RUNNING BACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards the last two years, and caught 49 and 47 passes, respectively. He’s also a touchdown machine with 30 TDs the last two years (25 rushing and 5 receiving). The son of two career Army officers, he’s a tough, driven player and the kind of guy players want on their team.

QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS

Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.

Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL. But when healthy, he’s a terrific all-around tight end who really connected with Justin Herbert in 2020 with 60 catches. Henry is very good at finding holes in zone coverage.
