I don't think you know what terrible is.  I've seen plenty of terrible QBs for the Bills since the 1960's and Taylor isn't terrible at all.  The numbers don't say that and neither does his play by eye.  He has flaws for sure, but your opinion is extreme.

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.

 

Well, if we're going by what's said or not said, Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane have spoken on the subject of Tyrod Taylor twice since the season ended.  Once at the year end PC and once at the Senior Bowl.  At the year end PC, here's some of what Beane said:

 

"We're not satisfied with the whole offense and it wasn't just about Tyrod.  There are a lot of hands in the cookie jar so to speak.  Sean and I are going to talk about everything.  We know we have to get better on offense, defense and special teams. We are far from a finished product.  We have a lot of work to do and we know that.  That's going to get started pretty quickly after this press conference."

 

"The great thing about Tyrod is you can never question his work ethic.  He does so many good things and gives himself the best chance to succeed on the field, by what he does off."

 

 

at the senior bowl, here's some of what was said by Beane and then McDermott:

 

Beane: "Tyrod did a lot of good things and you have to look at what are the things he could have done better? What are the other things that happened? Was it receivers running the wrong route? Maybe we could have run a better play. There are just so many different things that you could do, and I’m sure Tyrod knows there are things he could’ve done better. We’re still early in the process. We like Tyrod a lot. He works hard and he does a lot of good things.”

 

McDermott: “I’m not going to get into Tyrod’s future. Like I mentioned earlier, we’re still going through our evaluation. Those decisions will come at some point down the road here. I thought the quarterback position, in particular Tyrod, and then Nate (Peterman), did some good things. I’ve mentioned before the work ethic, the intangibles that Tyrod brings to the table are very much appreciated and a big part of how we did things this year and what we were able to do. I thought he did some good things. So, overall, we’ll continue to evaluate where we are and what’s right for this organization moving forward.”

 

 

The one thing everyone keeps reaching for as almost the sole evidence that Taylor is obviously gone is his benching, which would go a long way in that argument if Dennison, (the guy who reportedly wanted Peterman rather than Taylor because Peterman was the better fit) wasn't fired.  But Dennison was fired, and looking at the part of Beane's quote I underlined, I think he and McDermott knew they wanted him gone at that PC, if not earlier.  And the guy we brought in as OC spent an entire year last year working with a very limited run first QB who is a fraction the QB Taylor is.

 

I just think the writing is more on the wall for Taylor to stay than he is to leave, barring a massive trade up in an effort to get one of the top couple prospects.

Not even true (while I do hope he ends up good) I just cannot stomach another season of Taylor and screaming at the TV to throw the ball

Nope, I said he might make the playoffs with a great season from Shady and defensive turnovers. I also said they would lose the playoff game and Taylor would have a bad game.

 

It wasn't a great season from Shady, first of all.  Shady had one of the worst YPC years of his career.

 

Defensive turnovers?  Did you literally say "defensive turnovers" or, like many, did you say something like "Taylor could only be the QB of a team with a great defense!" ???  I can believe you said the latter, not the former.  Our defense got timely defensive turnovers in a lot of games this year.  But our Defense was average, at best.

Peterman played one awful game.  I would still rather play him then watch Taylor sit in the pocket and do nothing.  He is bad.  

 

Bwahahahaha!!!!

 

And this is the pathetic ridiculousness of this argument.

 

There are people here so neck deep in their own blind hatred of Taylor as a QB that they lose touch with reality.  Peterman sucks.  It was one awful game... the worst half in a half a century from a QB, along with a pass that is still in the air to the sideline in a playoff game waiting to be picked!

 

 

If Peterman does one thing this offseason, he better get in the gym with an expert QB like Tom Brady and figure out how the hell to make his arm strong enough to throw simple NFL throws like a sideline out.

Either way it won't matter, If Taylor is QB in 2018 McD and Beanie will be fired and their will be no more Taylor and no more process.

 

I will bet you $1000 right now that if Taylor is the Bills QB in 2018 McDermott and Beane will still be coach and GM in 2019.

 

Hot takes galore!!!  :lol:

Translation - Trade

 

 

Yes, if they get what they want.... ie: what they feel is fair.  And I'm betting McDermott and Beane value Taylor a helluva lot more than some here think they do.

 

If they don't get what they feel is fair, they likely keep him.

it aint rocket surgery.....unless we do not take a qb early and go with tyrod and peterman

Do they do a lot of surgeries on rockets?

 

Not taking a QB in this class would be a mistake imo.  If we don't, there's many free agents and possible trade targets (Foles) out their that would be an upgrade over Taylor.

The worst I've seen here are Trent Edwards and EJ Manuel.

Nope, I knew the Bills would not have a great defense but with the secondary being totally gutted I thought they might have a shot at having a good secondary and get turnovers. Numbers are not everything, Shady picked up a ton of critical 1st downs and kept drives alive. He was easily the MVP of the Bills offense.

Another great reason to turn off the TV on Sundays in 2018 to spend time with family.

 

I can’t watch another Bills game with Tyrod Taylor under center.

 

 

 

Reactions like these are priceless.............if the Bills can't get a Darnold/Rosen the tears of the anti-Taylor machine would at least serve for great amusement on TSW.:lol:

 

And btw McBean........the Buffalo market had the highest TV rating for the SB.....featuring a team we HATE........and watching the 2017 team play not to lose was like watching paint dry and yet they watched.......so you and all Bills fans will be watching.......don't kid yourself it's a totally HOLLOW whiny threat on your part. :thumbsup:
