Buffalo716 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 TT legacy coincides with Shadys legacy over their 3 year stretch... in that 3 year stretch lesean McCoy leads the NFL in rushing iirc TT deserves credit but Shady was the MVP of our team... also our leading receiver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistently bouncing to the outside for losses instead of hitting the designed hole was infuriating to watch. TT was pretty solid when put in a system that took advantage of his strengths. Independent of Shady. Shady played hurt his whole first year here and he sucked so bad he averaged 4.4 ypc he wasn't typical shady but he hardly sucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 great guy, don't get me wrong but his legacy through my eyes was finally breaking the drought only to have him lead the offense to 3 points in the wild card game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Tyrod’s legacy here will be like Flutie’s without the controversy. The team was better than they had been with him at the helm.

ngbills Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Primary Roles Players job: Give it your all on the field, be a good teammate, be a positive member in the community Coaches job: Prepare the team to succeed, develop players to reach potential, make player, strategy and game decisions. Front office job: Set the roster including selection of players and contracts. Assessing teams needs and short term and long team strategy of roster. Why do people express hate and blame on Taylor. He did his job. You could argue the coaches did not always put him in the best position to succeed, The front office did not provide the best roster. Or the front office and coaches should not have relied on TT. Those were other people decisions not TT. Blame them, nit the player. I could get it if he was some clown being lazy, getting into trouble or otherwise letting the other guys down. That is 100% not the case with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo Montoya Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) I appreciate everything he did in Buffalo and the way he represented our town with class. I think he played hard and handled his benching and contract situation with dignity and professionalism. He didn't do anything to foster a locker room schism when all this was going on which could have hurt the team and possibly cost us our playoff appearance. There were times when he was throwing to a roster of wide receivers that was arguably the worst group in the league. I'll always be a fan of TT but it was time to move on for both sides. I wish him nothing but the best in the future, except when he plays our Bills.... Edited March 22, 2018 by Inigo Montoya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the 3 points playoff performance. It was special. Good luck starting for the worst team in football. Hopefully you don't get benched for a rookie two years in a row. I bet your sure glad you had a chance to come back after being benched to show one last time your a true choke artist. You were the best back up QB to ever grace us as a starter and kept my 500 team at 500. Thank you. Edited March 22, 2018 by Lfod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I was a "TT supporter" until last year. I still believe he COULD be good. Remember those beautiful long passes in his year one? Combine that with a great year by Shady that year, a better defense, and boom, he looks like a star, and, gulp, Rex Ryan is still here! But he's way too gun shy and can't throw over the middle on quick drops. He'll likely never change that. But on a team with a speedster WR and an awesome defense, his ability to avoid turnovers become golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedBillsFan Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I always see posts about how it's too bad TT was not better on the field because he was such a good teammate and good guy off the field. I suppose this could be true, and he certainly seemed to have several really close relationships with teammates, but the only thing that was more ridiculous than watching him try to play football was watching him between offensive possessions. Always sitting on the bench, mostly alone, never looking at tablets or printout of plays, never talking to coaches, always looking mad/sad, never rooting for the defense, etc. It always seemed like he'd rather be pretty much anywhere else.

Gugny Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 His legacy is that he's a career backup who, when given (and I mean given) the chance to start, proved that he is, indeed, a career backup. He took a paycut to remain a "starter" and got traded to the worst team in the history of the NFL for a 3rd round pick. He sucks. That's his legacy. Oh .. and let's not forget how he whipped out the race card, pretending that just because he's a black QB that he's held to higher standards. Pathetic.

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 In my eyes the legacy of Tyrod in Buffalo is simple. He wasn't as promising as his supporters hoped. He wasn't as bad as his doubters made out. He was average, with occasional moments where he would show his athleticism. With Taylor every Ying has its Yang. He was careful with the ball...yet too careful at times. He could run the ball well...yet was hesitant at times resulting in sacks. Good teammate. Professional. Well dressed. And like most players these days, active in the community. An exemplary human being and an exemplary athlete that will best be remembered as a sub par passer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that your initial assertion that "off the field things don't matter in the grand scheme of things" is pretty ignorant. My view is that the time, energy, money someone pours into someone / something bigger than themselves is what really matters in the grand scheme of things (life). Ones ability to throw a football is way down on the list. Maybe in the future, you can work on your articulation skills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely 900 yards rushing and only 3 TDs on the ground. He was great in 2016. He was pretty average in 2015. Geezus Scott. Cherry picking at its finest. 900 yards mentioned but not his ypc or games missed. That’s like saying Deshaun Watson was just average last year because he only had 19 TD’s. Yeah Williams and Gillisee had a better ypc average but Shady has 110 more carries than Williams and 150 more than Gilly. Take a look at the link Scott. Let me know why you don’t see Gilly and Williams at the top in the ypc ranks. http://www.espn.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt/year/2015 Maybe because they didn’t qualify because they had too little carries? Are you also going to argue Marcus Murphy had a better year than Shady last year because he had a much better ypc? Shady worst back in 2015?
