Nklaiste1 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Absolutely not in favor of the move. Horrible horrible signing. I'm very vocal about two things when it comes to the Bills. 1. Doug Whaley is the worst GM in football. 2. Tyrod Taylor isn't good. Bills fans only "think" he's good because of what we've had under center since Kelly. I'll keep saying it on here until it happens. The REASON the Bills have sucked since Kelly is QB. We've never had a full rebuild since Kelly. It's the reason we've been terrible for years. Good enough to not get a top 5 pick, bad enough to not make the playoffs. The fans EXPECTATIONS have changed. The Pats, Hawks, Steelers, Packers, and other organizations talk about "championships." Around here we talk about just getting into the playoffs and getting blown out round 1. It's pathetic. To the people who say "Well what did you want them to do? Play Cardale Jones?" Yep. Yep I did. Why the **** draft the kid if you didn't plan on playing him WHALEY? If he played good next season then great we have an answer at QB. If he played bad? Well we have a top 3 pick in the best QB draft since Elway, Kelly, and Marino. We messed up today and I'll be sure to bump this post whenever we are going through another coaching search and change in 2 years. I tend to agree with this ^ I don't completely hate bringing Taylor but I don't love it either because he probably only gets 8 or 9 wins. Wish we would've went after Romo or Cousins... or tanked for the USC kid like you were saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think most people said why the like it or not like it in the Tyrod signed thread. So yes this topic pretty much covered in the other thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusher Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I agree, I see the same exact fail coming wishing on a mircle out of Tyrod. It looks like we are in for Chan/Fitz all over again. This staff better be great in 2017 and if they can't match or be better then Rex fans are going to rip them up. I was wishing for a fresh start from this staff, I thought things would be different but no same old Bills. I'll be wishing for the best but sadly all I see is 6 wins at best in my opinion When the Bills are losing next season, and Taylor is the same guy we know he is...we'll see how many are pleased then. Of course, we will be fed excuses and the blame will go to the defense, injuries, WR'S, the Oline...and so on and so forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm not a Whaley fan but this was a hell of a move bringing Taylor back at the new numbers we are hearing. I still want them searching for better but good news. Honestly, I felt if he was released he would have at least matched the deal he already had on the open market. thats what i cant really figure. why did tyrod do it? seems like he certainly could have done better financially taking the bills severance money and going elsewhere. i guess he really wanted to stay in bflo. eventually that question will be asked so i expect we will hear an answer soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I think taylor is a nice guy,but i'm sick to my stomach on this one. Havn't felt this sick since I was in a Chicago airport and saw thst Marv Levy hired the crypt keeper (Dick Jauron) has head coach... No point in upgrading tight end or wide receiver because Tyrod will only throw to them if there isn't a cb near by... As much as Taylor runs he also runs on third down a ton to come up a yard short to force 4thdown :-( I absolutely love ground snd pound ,but in two sesons Taylor has zero comeback wins. A running team that is behind in a game willnever pull off the comebzck games... With Taylor the Bills will be a thpical predictable 7-9 to 9-7 if everything breaks right just Boring and sick to my stomach :-( Maybe Whaley could have offered a 4th rounder for Aaron Rodgers?

So much for a new era.I'm thinking the DC will be the one to take the fall and get fired for 2017 fail, I doubt it's the OC since McCoy will no doubt have another outstanding season and after re-signing Tyrod they will want the blame going away from Tyrod.

Or...OR... -the new regime fixes the defense and brings it back to its former glory -Tyrod keeps up the 10th ranked scoring offense, improved by McDermott/Dennison's scheme -we surprise everyone and get to the playoffs and put this drought to bed -trolls like you and Crusher disintegrate in a flash of cheeto dust and smog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just opinions buddy, just like we had when Fitz got re-signed. We have no choice but to wish for a mircle. Im hopeful just like you Im a diehard fan and once the season starts Im all in on Tyrod.

thunderingsquid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Now the stakes are much higher with Woods gone and no #3 WR in Goodwin. I hope Hunter steps up and we get a WR in FA or the draft now. Hey, its the off season sadly we see the groundhog day.

You'll hear he wanted to stay with the Bills, but if he could have made a significant amount more, he would've walked. It's foolish to think otherwise.

The only teams who wanted Tyrod wanted him as a bridge guy not as a long term solution and wanted to pay him as such. And paying him as such did not mean the kind of deal he was on here so his choices were less money elsewhere or less money here. This then became the preference. This is just the obvious truth. You are right that people peddling other narratives are foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took a big paycut because everyone knows he's not worth the big bucks. Edited March 9, 2017 by 2018 Our Year For Sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Short answer is no. I don't want to watch another season of WR"s being open and he missing them. He is not exciting as a QB at all. He will not make the plays to win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/tyrod-taylor-7899/ Nice job by Whaley. High end bridge deal, fair to both sides. Team is competitive in the short term and can look for and acquire their long term FQB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderingsquid Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 It will be interesting to see how he does under a no-nonsense coaching regime versus the clown show the last 2 years. New OC and lots of FBs blocking for him at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Maybe Whaley could have offered a 4th rounder for Aaron Rodgers? Hey you never know, right? i never once said the bills should go out and get a elite qb that is not available.i just said i don't think taylor will ever be elite.the whole post was do you agree or disagree with retaining taylor.i disagree....to say why not give a 4th for rodgers isnt very nice..........go bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
