ALF Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 5 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: TT still couldn’t pass under Alynn and the offense was incredibly unbalanced. The stats looked good but the wins did not because defenses knew what they had to do in crunch time and they were one dimensional. A DFS passing game is not a recipe for success. You have to have a balanced offense. I remember him from FNL Taylor a 1 year bridge or another better till the drafted QB is ready. Taylor is a backup and a class act who I like.

reddogblitz Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just now, YoloinOhio said: The overall points looked good but they weren’t in the right place to translate to a playoff team. They rolled up the score on bad teams, but couldn’t win games that needed them to pull it out at the end like Seattle. You simply can’t depend on the D keeping teams to 10-15 points a game. That’s what the Bills have been doing for 20 years - trying to win with a running game and D and hide the QB. You will inevitably play offenses that no D can completely stop like NE, NO, Pitt etc and need to have a passing game to win. Yes and No. We scored 30+ vs the Fish and the D meanwhile gave up more. We scored 31 vs the Jets but the D gave up 37. We put up 25 vs Pats and Fish first time and Hawks losing all 3. D has to take some blame for those too. Only one game we would have won if the D kept the other team to 15. Stealers, we lost 27-20. If Rex had built us a great D as promised, the drought would have ended a year or two ealier.

BigDingus Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 This doesn't mean anything on whether or not the Bills are going to keep him. If they pay the $6 million, he's much easier to trade. Not only that, but his contract is so cheap for the position that it's not a huge hit to them if they have to eat some money. $10 million for a serviceable but mediocre starter with "potential" and/or a quality backup at the QB position is good value that other teams would likely be interested in. This is actually smart if the Bills hope to get something in return for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been said throughout the media as well and not just on here is that you run a limited playbook with TT, for a rook who will be on the bench and learning I would prefer not to have to run and practice with a limited playbook... Also I would rather have a QB who can make reads to be able to help groom the rook - Fitz, McCown are those guys, TT isn't As a person I love TT, he is a class act and a backup. He is also not the right person to help a rookie imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rookie could learn from Taylor's professionalism, but isn't going to learn an awful lot about actually playing the position from Taylor. I agree that Fitz and McCown would be better guys for that role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tyrod, he's the most underrated guy in free agency, in my opinion," Thomas said. "I like him better than all those other sort of second-tier guys." Pretty strong endorsement. And I do think Cleveland makes the most sense as a trade partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the Bills scored 24 against the Jets in 2016, not 31. There was a defensive TD, plus 7 of those 24 were in absolute garbage time. That Steelers game wasn't remotely close. More garbage time points - a td with one minute to go. Edited February 23, 2018 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 The best thing for Tyrod is for him to be released early, preferably while the stupid money is flowing in the first days of free agency. The long the Bills hold him the more he is going to lose in terms of pay. The team benched him in the middle of a playoff run AFTER letting him go test the market a year ago and then making him take a huge paycut to come back. Can it be any more obvious that they don't see him as "the guy" here? Shake hands, cut the man loose, and let him continue his career with a fresh start. This is getting stupid.

If he is on the team 3 days after the league year opens we owe him 6 million. Not sure if he would be able to recoup that by getting released early versus later. What I mean is that if we release him before the first day of FA he might get 20 million guaranteed total (doesn't include the 6 million from Bills). If we release him later after paying him, he might end up with 18 million guaranteed, but he would also have the 6 million from Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
