Finally we have a winner of the Bills quarterback battle and that man is Tyrod Taylor. Taylor was somewhat of a question mark when the season began.

Now he is Bill's fans favorite quarterback on the roster.  Taylor has 108 yards and a rushing touchdown this preseason and clearly knows how to utilize this offense. He is an athletic scrambling quarterback who feels comfortable in the pocket so hopefully Taylor and Bills star wide receiver Sammy Watkins have some chemistry together. Bills head coach Rex Ryan stated,

"Obviously, you know about his accomplishments as a runner; I mean, it's very well documented. When you have more rushing yards than Michael Vick at Virginia Tech, that's pretty obvious that he has that ability; but we brought him in because No. 1 -- it's a brand new offense -- but how he grasps our offense, and then his ability, not just his mobility, but his ability to throw the ball was the overriding thing. And I think he did a tremendous job of that."

Ryan has repeatedly said that he sees three quarterbacks on this roster however Matt Cassel has to be feeling like the odd man out at this point.
