KD in CA Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Some goodbye music, tearful speeches, retiring the number he would have worn if he made the team, and finishing it off by throwing a perfect spiral off the helmet of Dareus, off the shoulder pads of byrd, and into the arms of Stevie in the endzone to be remembered on YouTube forever.... Until the internet dies, of course. Maybe the NFL should go back to the 12 round draft so players like Tanney can receive the appropriate level of pomp and circumstance.

John Belucheese Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Tanny was this years Jasper. I love dark horse freaks but Jasper never made it to the field and the novelty has warned w all the loses. sad reality as jasper is a goner as well. I would love Tanny on our practice squad.

benderbender Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I would have loved to see a different ending to the Tanney story but, as usual, the Bills handled it the right way and with their usual class. Tanney had other offers, and now maybe one of those will pan out for him. Meanwhile, back at One Bills Drive, the QB position is already somewhat crowded going into camp - with Fitz, Young, Thigpen, Smith, and even Josh Nesbitt able to take turns heaving the ball... GO BILLSSS!!!! 19 and 0 baby!!!!! Oh goody! We get to keep Thigpen who holds the clipboard so well. How about they tell Thigpen to make a youtube video off anything he can do for the team besides clipboard aficionado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's either 2nd string or gone. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The Thigpens are holy people. There are facts that his ancestors date all the way back to the times of Moses. The young and quite handsome Nazarah Thigpen was a young boy then but Moses trusted him to hold the commandments on the voyage. Tyler Thigpen holding a clipboard is no different than helping spread the (offensive) word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're right. Why waste a roster spot. We need football players not human interest stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Since articles have been written about him it stands to reason there would be an article titled about his departure. I blame Wawrow. You should send him a PM every hour until he writes an obit for the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Tanney really didn't help himself out any when they gave him the play call for his first series and he asked, "where's the trash can?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atyfan11 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Whats really messed up is they have the bills signing him to a 3 year contract 1.4 million,on 2 links on the net,not going to get into that though ,if he has left havent seen anything from him on facebook,Yea Im from Monmouth,iL where he played his college ball,hind sight is 20/20,but the videos they made were just joking around,Unless you saw him play,then you dont know how really good he could be with some time,had some footwork problems but was working real hard to fix it,Yea Im a Hometown guy rooting for the hometown player but Im sure he will be going to camp with somebody,I dont care what NCAA Div your in if your the all time leading TD passer,that has to say something One of the websites reporting contract is spotrac.com check it out must just be bad info though.

#34fan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 They should go get SMU's JJ McDermott. Intelligent, Good size. Respectable arm strength, but most of all, he's a competitor. -Transferred schools and actually took some kid's job. I think this kid could make an NFL roster. Would love to see him in a Bills uni.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Why is this kid getting so much attention? I really don't get it. Are people basing his ability to succeed in the NFL off of a trick shot video? I would say more likely the DIII records he set, and the fact that he's the son of coaches and possibly a student of the game. He looked like he might be a "sleeper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
