About as crazy as thinking he took the Bills to the playoffs last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Thank you, Tyrod Taylor. You helped end the drought, and many of us here will not forget that. A real class act, but it just wasn't meant to be. Good luck in Cleveland. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninMinn. Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 He lost me as a class act when he played the race card a few times. He will always have problems trying to throw a guy open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) It is bittersweet because I love the trade and I think the Bills could do better at QB, but I absolutely love Tyrod as a person and since he was the QB to help us end the drought, he will always have a place in the hearts of many Bills fans, including me.

Bing Bong Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Me thinks if he starts he"ll have his best year, given that he has Josh Gordon and Jarvis to throw to, he has formidable talent in the passing game he never had on the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBoots8 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Nothing but respect for the guy. I hope you do well in Cleveland. He could still help the Bills by stealing some wins from Baltimore and Pittsburgh and helping our playoff chances indirectly. He dealt with some crap during his time here, and he took it in stride and remained a professional. Thank you Tyrod for giving it your all- best wishes.

BuffaloRebound Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Cleveland is the perfect spot for him. He will always be remembered for ending the drought. His time in Buffalo made him a rich man, and he ended 17 years of misery. Worked out for both sides and now it's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod never progressed. That’s where Tyrod lost me. If I could say I witnessed improvement it would be one thing, but I didn’t. The ball bounced the Bills way a few times this year and they got to 9-7 and made the playoffs. Tyrod was the same this year as his last two. Good guy slightly below average quarterback. I sm glad the Bills don’t want to live in fear of what if and instead think they deserve better. Lets be fair here though...you say he never progressed...but lets look at what hand he was dealt here. 2 Head Coaches - one of which was an idiot. 3 Offensive Coordinators - a couple of which were idiots His #1 WR mostly injured the entire 3 years and the rest of the rag tag crew was always changing. Watkins last healthy play with TT was in 2016 for final 9 games...during which he was one of the top 5 producing WR's in the NFL. Jordan Matthews - Basically didn't play. Kelvin Benjamin - Literally hurt most his time as a Bill Secondary WR's who had to be #1 guys - Goodwin, Woods, and Zay all basically either were hurt, played hurt, or flat out blew it out there (looking at you Zay). OL - Pass Protection has done him no favors, and best guy frequently in and out of the lineup with injuries. Run First team his whole time here. Played hurt himself at times. Clay dealt with injuries (and effort problems) Despite all that: TT led the Bills to one of the highest scoring offenses of 2016 while he played (top 5 in his 15 starts) 2015 and 2016 were the two highest scoring years in Bills history outside the first 3 SB years He made multiple Pro Bowls He had a winning record He led the Bills to their first playoff birth despite McD's one big mistake of starting Peterman against Chargers while Bills were entering as the 6th seed and LAC were coming off 3 game losing streak So...I get he had not become the QB that can carry a team, but he still accomplished quite a lot as a Bill despite some pretty harsh conditions and things working against him. And despite all the over exaggerated hate here, I kept saying he is way more respected around the NFL than he is by fans here...and the Browns just further proved that giving the first pick in the 3rd for him when all his haters said he couldn't fetch even a 5th. THANKS FOR BREAKING THE STREAK AND ALWAYS LEAVING IT ALL ON THE FIELD TYROD! And thanks for all the work you put into to this team for us fans to try and be the best you could. I will be rooting for you to succeed in Cleveland, you are a total class act and one of the toughest QB's I have ever seen in a Bills uniform.

Blame the people who didn't put a QB on the field that you liked.........namely guys like Rex/Whaley/McD. No excuses anymore they got piles of ammo if they whiff it's likely the guillotine for McD and Beane. Chips are on the table no more hedging. You have a ton of misplaced anger my friend. I said Tyrod was a good person just not a very good quarterback. Glad he played for the Bills but also glad to see Beane get the 65th pick for him. I am not nor have I been one of the people wanting Tyrod to fail. Name calling isn’t necessary here or anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be rooting for you to succeed in Cleveland, you are a total class act and one of the toughest QB's I have ever seen in a Bills uniform. I agree with a lot of the things you said here. I do not hate Tyrod at all. I wanted him to be the Bills quarter back and be the answer to that position. I am grateful for how he represented the team and worked very hard to be the quarterback. It appears he will get to go to another team and have a chance to start. Tyrod will have a long career in the NFL. Tyrod proved he can play in this league at the hardest position, that’s a very valuable skill. Teams also know they are getting a good guy and a leader. If Ryan Fitzpatrick can keep getting contracts than Tyrod will too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
