Bills are / were still in the hunt. I can see starting a rookie QB is you dont think TT is the answer and your season is shot, but not in the middle of a playoff race. In reality they Bills will probably be out of the race in a couple weeks, but by benching TT it gives the impression that they gave up on the season already.
as you said, they are contenders on paper only. It's smart that they are being honest with themselves. They have won more than expected but that doesn't change that this season has been all about building the future. They announced that pretty clearly when they traded away Watkins and they doubled down by trading Dareus.
They gave Tyrod a long look. Maybe it's not a real fair look because they have no WRs, but still they've had him for years and apparently they have decided he's not the guy for the future.
Will some guys on the team be mad that they are giving up? Yes, but how many on the team are in their future plans?
