That is a crappy three seasons and I, personally, do not consider it a successful run. That's not all on Tyrod. It's a team game. And this team stunk the entire time he was here. right. it's all a matter of perspective. we were a .500 team before he arrived and we were a .500 team during his tenure. the poster who said we backed into the playoffs is correct, if not for Andy Dalton, it wouldn't have happened. now, if your Cleveland and he plays .500 ball you will view him as an overwhelming success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Your telling me Tyrod would have come in and would have done what Foles win the SB ? There's no way in hell Tyrod could have made half of the throws that Foles made system or not 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 wouldn't say it was an overwhelming success. i would say it was a moderate one. they took another teams unproven backup and then.... he won slightly more than he lost we never broke the bank for him made the playoffs and then turned said backup into the 1st pick of the 3rd round. which could potentially be ammo for the future franchise guy. i'm cool with it.

Ramza86 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Made the playoffs. Wasnt great...but was a high character guy. He could have been a reason some of the new coaching staff took the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The first 2 years were failures, the last year was a success. 33% success rate isn’t very good at all, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 How could they not be considered a success. He was signed as a backup with upside to compete. He competed and won the starting job, and led us to the playoffs... he doesn’t have to be the long term solution for me to consider his time here a success.... I think for what he was, his time was about the best that we could have hoped for.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) not a success. not a complete failure either. success would of been developing in to the franchise guy this team has lacked for far too many years to count. the playoffs may of never happened if not for the defense playing as they did early on in the season or they could very well finished 5-11/6-10 and not sniffed the playoffs. that said, he was part of the team that won enough to have an opportunity for a wild card and ended the drought and I am grateful for that. you have to also credit andy dalton and the bengals for their help in getting the bills in to the post season, made for some real excitement at the end of the season. the first year gave me hope, the second season I started to question and last season I lost all hope he would be the future. I would not really rate him as successful yet I wish him well as the browns stop gap where maybe there when their future (likely drafted rookie) is ready to take over he can accept a back up role?

BuffaloRush Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 To everyone on the fence, I deliberately didn’t add that as an option because I feel most people would choose that one. Its a tough question but you have to make a choice: success or failure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 A success. Won more than he lost ( I think), got the drought off the franchise's back. Although that took some fortuitous happenings: the Bills were 9-7 under Orton in 2014 as well but missed the posteseason. For what Taylor is, it's a ( modest ) success. The new FO realized his ceiling had been reached and moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Because the Bills made the playoffs, you can say the Tyrod era represented incremental progress. I would not personally characterize it as either success or failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Yes. He helped pave the path that lead the Bills to McBeane. Thank you TT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
