Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills won't commit to Tyrod Taylor as their quarterback for 2017 and beyond just yet. At his introductory news conference, McDermott said he didn't want to get ahead of himself.

Reports have stated that the Bills won't pick up Taylor's option and that "seems like insanity" to Cian Fahey.

Fahey runs the website Pre-Snap Reads and studies quarterbacks extensively for his yearly Quarterback Catalogue. He recently joined the Dan LeBatard Show to talk about Taylor, a quarterback that he had been studying most recently. Fahey believes that Taylor's positives greatly outweigh his negatives.

"It seems like insanity that they're not going to pick up that option," Fahey said. "I know he's not really viewed as a traditional passer and maybe it's a style thing, but his positives largely outweigh his negatives."

Fahey believes that Taylor is consistent in terms of what he does well and believes a team can build a good offense around him.

"The consistency he displays within his skill-set, like he may be just an average quarterback but the consistency he has within his skill-set means you can build a good offense around him. He's not a guy who you don't really know what you're going to get from snap to snap the way Jay Cutler is, he's a guy who can create, who can extend plays, who can elevate guys around him. Sure, he'll miss a couple of open receivers at times but overall he had a really, really good year and he kind of took the blame for everything that went wrong around him in Buffalo."

In terms of free agency, Taylor and Kirk Cousins are the two big name quarterbacks that could hit the market. When asked which quarterback was better, Fahey chose Taylor and explained his reasoning.

"I think he's (Taylor) probably better," stated Fahey. "I know that will probably be controversial just because of the numbers, but he doesn't throw interceptions, he creates big plays, he doesn't rely on good protection, he doesn't rely on good receivers. He was throwing to Justin Hunter, Walter Powell, Marquise Goodwin, an injured Robert Woods, an injured Sammy Watkins. Guys who can't get open, can't catch the ball. I think generally he reacts better to pressure and that's a big deal for me. I would definitely take him at the salaries and I think I would probably say he's the better player too."

If McDermott and the Bills want to win immediately out of the gate, it's hard to imagine many options better than Taylor.
