A bird in the hand is better than a bird in the bush. Taylor loves Buffalo and the players love him. I think he would love a heavily incentive based deal. Nobody would care if we paid him 18 if he was our starter and we make the playoffs again.
That's why you give him a deal worth UP to 18 million but in reality only 8 of it is guaranteed. If we make the playoffs again, if he starts 75% of our games, if he passes a certain amount of TDs, etc. I'd essentially give Tyrod a prove it deal.
He is a top 3 lock, buy low, sell high. Going back to school could lose him a lot of money and OTOH I don't think he is ready for the NFL, he needs to sit for a year but he has a higher ceiling than Rosen.
Yeah, okay. How many yards on the ground did our defense give up? We couldn't stop a nose bleed and don't forget, Tyrod did not have Woods, Watkins, Glenn, Gilislee, Benjamin and Matthews missed a bunch of time, Tyrod had nothing.
I'd take Rudolph in the first but his stock is all over the place, I've seen anywhere from the 1st all the way to the 4th. I mean, I love the guy but if he can be had in the 2nd, even better.
FWIW, Walter has Mason Rudolph as a 3-4 round prospect, I wouldn't mind burning a 2nd on him. Use both our firsts on BPA.
I'm still high on Rudolph, I just have no idea where he'll go, he is a polarizing prospect. One site says 1-2, the other says 3-4. Who knows? I'd really like him and I'd be lying if I said Lamar Jackson doesn't intrigue me, I covet QBs who can turn broken plays into 20 yard scrambles. We'll see.
McD has the entire city of Buffalo behind him. If we go on to beat the Jags, we are a legit team. How long does Brady and Belichick have? The division is wide open and we got a talented coach, FO and an owner that is committed to winning. The division is wide open.
I've been on the Mason Rudolph bandwagon longer than most people here, but ideally we sit him on the bench for as long as possible, we'll still need a veteran QB in the meantime so why cut Taylor just to make a lateral move? Cut Taylor, take a cap hit and then even add more to the cap by signing another vet? Makes no sense from a financial or football standpoint.
