    Why is Tyrod Taylor not more revered in the Bills fan base?

    I never ever understood the hate for Tyrod Taylor. He was a dynamic athlete that defenses had to properly game plan against and played a big role in breaking the 17 year drought. I think he is one of the better dual threats of all time and it’s cool seeing the contrast between TT and Allen as runners. Why is he not a bigger part of Bills’ lore? He got done what a **** load of previous QBs couldn’t. It’s not like Losman, Bledsoe, or Fitz didn’t have good defenses too. So I really don’t wanna hear how the defense alone propelled us there. It was also Tyrod’s legs and low turnover rate + big play ability as well. 

    Josh is a dynamic athlete.  Ball Joint was an oft injured noodle arm mess.  Was it a coincidence he was pretty much a backup when he left here?  No.

    There was similar angst in the late '80s

    There are a lot of parallels to those teams, imo.  We knew we had a top QB in Kelly as soon as he came over from the USFL.  We had great players on defense and offense through those years.  Once we got to the playoffs, there was a combo of heartbreak and underachievement.  There was a lot of infighting and doubt, most famously remembered as the "Bickering Bills."

     

    Then, it all changed.  It's like breaking through a brick wall.  Before you do it, it's like...how do we do it?  Then, the floodgates open.

     

    The big difference is that the AFC is tougher now. But that AFC was no slouch. We had Dan Marino, arguably a top 5 of all time, in the division. John Elway & Warren Moon also come to mind.

     

    We're going to get there.  I have no doubt about it.  QB's like Allen win championships.

     

     

    I agree somewhat.  However, this team does not have players the caliber of Bruce Smith, Thuman Thomas, or even Steve Tasker.  More work needs to be done to get over the hump.
