Call_Of_Ktulu Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We keep Taylor on the roster in 2018 and he sucks fans are going to **** into a vornato. I won't be here for that chaos and it an absolute certainty. This message board will be like 500 baboons throwing poo at each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 9 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: None of this makes any sense. So if the Bills cant trade Taylor they want to keep him? Which means other teams aren't willing to part with a 5th rd pick in order to acquire Taylor. If they won't part with a 5th rd pick what is Taylor's worth in the FA market? Why would the Bills want to keep a QB that is most likely going to be a backup on his new team. I don't see Taylor even getting a contract worth 10 mil a year. What would Taylor's value be in a trade? I'm guessing no team will give up a 3rd or 4th rd pick for Taylor, so if the Bills can't get even a 5th rd pick from another team we are going to keep him. This would be grounds for spontaneous combustion of Beanie and McD. 3 minutes ago, papazoid said: maybe....but absent a trade, I think they are releasing him by the third day of league year Since the Year-End Press Conference OBD has been as tight lipped as an Aldebaran Shellmouth. Rapaport's story seems like it came from OBD. Why would the Bills announce out of the clear blue (the first real news about a player) that they are planning on keeping TT past the bonus date? To say, "Hey, we like TT and plan on having him play this year (which he still is under contract for) and we want to tell the whole world about it"? There is something more to this. If this news didn't come from OBD than it means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You also have to take into consideration that Tyrod is poster boy for Team Eagle Scout that McDermott and Beane are trying to build. They know he will help any rookie and is a great role model for getting in early, staying late, watching film, being a good citizen. That goes a long way with these guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tyrod starts next year, gonna be pitchforks and torches! No, it won't. It will be a normal opening to the season. New era field will be sold out to begin the season. Fans will be excited and cheering. The difference, I'm sure, will be that fans will also be much more quick to turn on Taylor. But if McDermott decides to keep Taylor and start him, I'm sure he'd be doing it because he believes the change from Dennison to Dabol could make a huge difference. It's a process 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
