How the Bills’ offseason spending ranks thus far

Rex Ryan says he expects Bills to move up to No. 2 and praises Tyrod Taylor, too
‘Tyrod’s a hell of a lot better quarterback than people give him credit for. He’s had one of the best touchdown-to-interception ratios [2.83] in the history of the National Football League, so I think that bodes well for the Browns. You know, the Browns turn the ball over, their quarterbacks, whoever they’ve had, they seem not to understand that there’s a responsibility that you have, and that’s to protect your team. Tyrod Taylor understands it, and he has ability.’

Buffalo Bills are an ideal fit for Wyoming QB Josh Allen, says Bucky Brooks
‘”Well the team that wants him the most, I would think, would be the Buffalo Bills,” said Brooks. “And the reason why he would be a good fit up there is because I’m talking about him being wired the right way. Sean McDermott, Brandon Beane, they’ve created a culture in Buffalo where these are blue collar guys. They have a bunch of blue collar players on their squad. They’re just going to go to work and they’re going to see what happens at the end of the day. Josh Allen strikes me as a guy that can fall in line with that premise. He’s not worried about being a superstar. He wants to be a great player. Put him in that locker room with those people, they surround him with the right stuff, he could be a guy that could be a long-term fixture at the position in Buffalo.”‘

‘Well, I think statistically they don’t look very good from last year, but they went to the playoffs. When you win, that corrects everything. The defense went from 19th to 26th, and the offense went all the way to 29th. It looks like there’s room for improvement, without question. But the fact that they won, I think, number one, speaks volumes about Tyrod Taylor, but also, Sean McDermott’s found ways to win.’
