If I'm trading a top 10 QB, which some people think TT is than we should get two 1st rd picks right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peterman interrupt threw his stock into disarray, but the talking heads are coming back around. Look I'm just playing devil's advocate based primarily on non-Buffalo media, but he's now a 28 year old playoff QB with what, 40-50 starts under his belt? He's a commodity at minimum, and a QB to build around if you're feeling frisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Because that never happens. If you were to trade Aaron Donald or JJ Watt or any other player no one gives up two number ones. It's stupid but true. They do for draft picks but not established players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 4 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: To me it's a no brainer. You keep him. You do everything you can to get the guy you like to be the new guy, Rosen or Darnold, even if it takes two ones, two twos, whatever. Or if that is not possible you do everything you can to get the guy you like like Mayfield or Jackson or Rudolph, it doesn't matter. Get the guy you like but keep Tyrod. Let them battle it out in training camp. If the draft pick is anywhere close start him, and then you have the best backup in the league. If he needs some time, play Tyrod for a few games and see how the team responds. I think they should pay him the roster bonus. Better to have a bird in the hand. Where it goes from there depends on who, if anyone, they can get to replace/upgrade him, and who still needs a QB and what they're willing to pay. 2 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: If I'm trading a top 10 QB, which some people think TT is than we should get two 1st rd picks right?

PromoTheRobot Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Taylor gives the Bills the luxury of not rushing a rookie into a starting role. Draft a QB. If he beats Taylor, then start him. If not, keep Taylor until he's ready. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the future. You can't trade him for a high pick. But you could do a lot worse. And he masks a lot of deficiencies. The best possible scenario, which is what all teams should aspire to, is to hit it big in the draft and NOT have to force him in, and also to have a great backup. If we draft a guy like Mayfield or whomever and he wows us, Tyrod is the best backup in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Congrats Tyrod! Best case scenario is you keep Taylor, draft the best QB you can in the draft, and let the two of them and Peterman know that its best man plays. If anyone can manage that scenario as far as the locker room goes, its' McDermott. I mean, what if you draft a QB and he busts or just takes a while to catch on to the pro game and Peterman proves to not be an answer, then what? Tyrod is a pretty good insurance policy.

MDH Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Tyrod wins two playoff games and he's the Bills QB next year. Otherwise...I just don't see it. It was obvious with the Chargers game that McDermott wants to go in another direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont say he's gone anymore than he stays, I don't know. I do know that he was/is part of the team that just made the post season, which I am elated about and will give him and the team credit for achieving that goal, even if they had to have help, they did their job today. no need to think about where he'll be, just looking forward to sunday and a chance to advance? Definitely an opinion only. I lean towards extreme skepticism with people posting here claiming inside info. 1 hour ago, Buffalo Boy said: I want to beat the Jags as bad as anyone on here but let’s see how he looks without Shady ? As I remember, the Bills have a winning record playing Taylor without McCoy. They don't have a winning record playing McCoy without Taylor. The Jags will be such a tall order they need'em both.....

Hurricane Marv Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 25 minutes ago, Doc said: It will be tough to trade him, no doubt, but I doubt they get fleeced if they do. The biggest issue is whether to pay him the $6M roster bonus on 3/18 without knowing if there is a better option out there? If they pay it to him, their leverage goes up. The problem is that there are 5, maybe 6, teams in need of a QB, but how many remain after the draft? I actually think that there are like 10-15 teams in need of a good QB, and something like 25 when you open it up to depth. The NFL QB landscape is not what it was even 2-3 years ago, and even that excitement about young QBs at the time was largely based on Kaepernick and RG3 who aren't doing **** right now. Kizer flopped, Trubisky likely will flop, Watson I hope for the best but could flop due to injury. Fans need to realize how difficult it is to find even legit serviceable QBs and Tyrod checks that box, despite the fact that he so irritatingly hovers around that box, but he's legit. Josh McCown and Jay Cutler started for division rivals, folks. Keep Tyrod. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a good QB who does a lot of passing. whats this? you think he is better than these guys? you're dreaming. Do I think Taylor is better than Mariota who has 13 TDs to 15 INTs this year? Yes, and if you don't, then that speaks volumes about how dense you are. Fact - Bills don't make the playoffs if Taylor throws 15 INTs this year. Please tell me otherwise so I can laugh in your face. You clearly know nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they release him before 3/16, they save $8M on the cap but have no proven QB. If they trade him post-3/16, it costs them $4M against the cap. 1 minute ago, MDH said: Tyrod wins two playoff games and he's the Bills QB next year. Otherwise...I just don't see it.

I doubt he envisioned the Bills making the playoffs after that 3-game stretch, with TT under center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I STILL want a qb drafted early to replace him but your obnoxious and over the top views have always been idiotic and dramatic and now that they break a 17 year drought and you still try bashing the qb says so much about you. It’s embarrassing for you. I love how you tell somebody else to “be freaking happy” but still try to bash the qb. Busch league. You’re a joke. I said it all week and I’ll say it again. If the bills made the playoffs this week we would see the cream rise to the top on this board. People that would rather be right than see the team win. SHAMEFUL EDIT: harsh words here from last night lubed up by too many drinks. I apologize on that front but I stand by the general message of the post.
