K-9 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Apparently Denver inquirer about Tyrod. I trade him yesterday and throw in a pick just for good measure. Ill advised. TT is certainly not all world, but he gives us the best chance going into next year. There is nobody we currently have, could trade for, or draft that would be a better option going into next season. He will either cement his position or not. GO BILLS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's neither sturdy enough or accurate enough to be the solution. They should get what they can while there is a market or him. The news about his agent threatening a hold out if he doesn't get a deal before this season is the last straw for me. For what? The last pick in the 1st round, or their pick in the late 20s next year? Had any of that been reported, I'd have told ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news about his agent threatening a hold out if he doesn't get a deal before this season is the last straw for me. Had any of that been reported, I'd have told ya. He showed a marked progression over the last six games of being able to hurt teams from the pocket, which is the most important aspect of his development. Over those last six games especially, Roman saw enough to start trusting him with attacking the middle of the field, something that teams knew he was reluctant to do earlier on (we saw the same thing when he worked with Kaepernick). So we just get what we can while there's market for him? That's all well and good, but it screws us for next season. There wouldn't be one QB on the team that the veteran leadership would trust. For better or worse, TT is our only option. And his agent knows that, but the threats to sit out are just noise. TT would be doing himself a great disservice if he sat out. GO BILLS!!!

Weave Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Bills LB A.J. Tarpley retired from the NFL at age 23 due to concussion concerns today. He does have a degree from Stanford which I'm sure will help in his future endeavors. Concussions #3 and 4 for him last year. Can't say I blame him. My son has had 3 concussions. The last one resulted in migraines for the next 4 years. I wouldn't be surprised if Tarpley is dealing with daily issues already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) No need to hang the agent's talk on Taylor. The guy (agent) is just posturing, and, in that instance, doing a poor job, imo. Edited April 8, 2016 by That Aud Smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think he blows but he also doesn't pass the eyeball test for me. Just something not quite right with his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 No question that injury risk is a real concern. I'd like to see another season of him starting to evaluate whether he's a guy who can't stay healthy. But I saw him throw quite a few great passes last year, and when he scrambled, I saw things I haven't seen from anyone since pre-incarceration Michael Vick. I'm not throwing that away in favor of another rookie or journeyman until there's another season of data to evaluate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not throwing that away in favor of another rookie or journeyman until there's another season of data to evaluate. Both of these camps of thought are equally true to me. I think Taylor can progress and become a legit top-12 quarterback (one that can win games for us when needed). I also feel like we'll be whistling past the graveyard the whole time.

I'm not throwing that away in favor of another rookie or journeyman until there's another season of data to evaluate. Completely agreed. I think it's also worth noting that while I share concerns about his frame, his injury came on an illegal horse collar tackle that would have hurt a giant like Roethlisberger.

Injuries and ball control. I'd be surprised if he's the starter come 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Yeap. Guess we know what they'll be drafting I'd expect to see a tackle. But if they do go QB, hopefully it's w/ their typical proficiency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted April 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Two MSM types Tweeted a rumoured blockbuster that involves the Bills surrendering Taylor, this year's 1st and 2nd, next year's 3rd, in order to acquire the Browns #2 overall. Denver also in the mix as the recipient of Taylor, and sending its 1st this year to Cleveland. Maybe total bull. But maybe not? Looking at those pieces with a more sober eye: That is just way too much to pay for the #2 this year. But maybe something along those lines?

WildCard Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Benjamin Allbright @AllbrightNFL This #Broncos #Browns #Bills three way trade rumor has been denied by all three teams, and is the product of one unknown blog. I think it's BS personally. If something that big were in the works I have to think there'd be more chatter.Also, I hate it. That's such a bad trade. Really is though. Who could we possibly want that desperately at #2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
