BS. The Bills beat one .500+ team this season - the Patriots who started an injured 3rd string QB. Taylor is a big part of the reason why, I'm not putting it all on him (or any QB) to carry the team to a SB, but he should be able to help them get there and not hold the team back.
If Taylor has proven anything these last two seasons, it's that he doesn't hold the team back. If you can't see that then you're blind.

If the Bills don't hire A Lynn as HC he's gone !!
And if they play around to long they might find themselves where they were 2 yrs ago
If Lynn doesn't land any of the other HC positions I don't know why that would have to be the case if the HC wants to keep him and the offensive system in tact.
-
If they end up hiring this Dick Jauron clone and releasing Tyrod and going to laugh my ass off and officially be done with the Bills.
-
I don't see the Bills keeping Tyrod. He's the best QB that's been in Buffalo in a long, long time, but he's limited. He's not going to get you to a Super Bowl. That is really the clincher for me.
I'm so sick of reading this bull ****. There isn't a quarterback alive who can get a team to a Super Bowl all by himself.

Have we cut TT and I didn't notice?
Yes apparently we have already let Taylor walk and already hired Anthony Lynn a week ago and the coaching "search" was fake.
I'm informed because I read the Buffalo News.
-
I remember the Seattle Defense saying they had a lot of respect for Tyrod, maybe if he's coach he will want to keep him.
Ah great point.
-
Whaa? This makes no sense. Why should the Bills care about fan reaction and reactions from media? The only reactions that matter are those from other teams, which are as follows:
Tyrod Taylor? Oh, the Bills are gonna cut him, we can shut up, sit back, and maybe pick him up.
You really don't think that the general fan consensus effects much of the decisions made by the vast majority of professional sports teams?
-
Lets not forget the fact if TT is not retained he will become one of the top prospects available unless Cousins is not resigned. Doesn't make much sense to let him walk so you can get into a bidding war with the other teams in need of a QB. His contract is comparable to his talent level at this time.
That's why I'm thinking a lot of these "leaks" about Tyrod not being retained are intentional. Leaks from OBD to read both Bills fan reaction and reactions from media and other teams.
The more information they can use to assess Taylor's value the better.

I'll just repost
As I said before, of course Pegulas will have the final signoff. That's never been in question.
But in a press conference where Whaley stonewalled most questions, he went out of the way to explain that the previous hires were a committee process, but this one would be run by him & Monos. Which is how most job openings are filled - candidates meet with the recruiting front line and at the end they have a final sit down with the senior folks for the ultimate approval.
Yet, after all the talk, the first interview with McDermott is at the Pegula's house. To me, the message is that maybe they're still reluctant to take Whaley's training wheels off.
Were they supposed to have it at Whaley's house?

One other thing to note about Bills' HC search: Indications are Panthers DC Sean McDermott had a very good interview with them.
McDermott is a younger Dick Jauron.
-
Much of what he says goes right along with what I said about Whales and his "search". It boggles my mind that Lynn was +290 for this job. For folks that don't gamble that means for every 100 you lay down you stand to win 290 when Lynn is named HC. That's 3-1 and the easiest money I have ever made.
Was Anthony Lynn hired while I wasn't paying attention or something?
-
despite $45m in dead money and no major additions, as well as losing 3 out of 4 starters in the secondary to injury for a stretch - here are the saints stats with the "rob hangover"
still not good but substantially improved.
2015 YPG allowed: 413
2016 YPG: 375
2015 Yard per play allowed: 6.6
2016 YPP: 6.0
2015 PPG allowed: 29.1
2016 PPG: 26.1
if we see similar bounces, and keep the offense on track, we should be in a nice spot.
and you knew the problem from the get go would be that if it failed he wouldnt be able to handle managing his brother. hes too loyal to friends, yet alone rob.
Weaker opponents than 2015.

Richard is who I want. I love his energy and youth and experience working under a great coach in a great organization. Bring in his own defensive staff. Convince Lynn to stay on as OC while keeping the entire offensive staff. Get a new special teams coordinator. Keep Tyrod.
Let's go to the playoffs.

Is it at all possible that the "leak" about the Bills moving on from TT and the posturing from the Bills, is all a ploy to somehow benefit the situation down the road? I mean on the surface, it makes zero sense to "move on" from a productive QB in his prime.
I absolutely believe with the way Taylor was playing midway through the season that they were leaning toward releasing Taylor.
But in the end it's going to come down to what the head coach decides he wants to do. They'll keep him if the coach wants to keep him. They won't if the coach wants a different style of offense and thinks they could draft a guy that could do what Taylor is doing.
It's really this simple. The decision hasn't been made yet.
-
I'm just getting a little tired of the game. Drop a vague tweet and watch people freak out. That's why I challenged him directly. He knows we're the cats and he's got the laser pointer.
Wawrow's tweet was less vague than Schefter's "report."
-
Wawrow is also reporting that the Bills are planning on moving on and that this has been in the works since October.
Huge difference between "were leaning toward moving on" and "has decided to."
-
We could just keep TT and ask the schedule makers to play the browns and 49ers 8 times each.
Or we could keep the first Top 10 offense this team has had since 1999 and fix the defense.
-
When the Pegula's announce Frank Reich you know you will be All In!
Not me.
-
I find it amazing that most fans know whats better for the team then the people running it.
It's been that way for several years.
The smart ones do. Then there are those who compare Tyrod to 2013 Manuel or want to trade for AJ McCarron.
-
Pegula said as much to JW
Yeah none of this makes any sense.
I think Schefter is going to look pretty silly 1-2 months from now.
-
This whole thread is just making me root for the Anthony Lynn/Gus Bradley ticket even more. Get them to sign on the dotted line ASAP.
If not them the only other coach ticket I'd be excited about would include Kyle Shanahan....and he ain't coming here.
I'd like to see Kris Richard as HC and somehow convince Lynn to remain as OC/AHC (unless he lands a HC somewhere, of course).
-
Everyone is complaining about losing tyrod, everyone is also complaining about being stuck in mediocrity. I think if we keep tyrod we stay in mediocrity and never win the important games. Could losing him make us worse, its quite possible, but sometimes you gotta get worse to get better. And maybe whaley has a plan and who knows we might actually be better next year without him
You're wrong in all areas.
Schefter says decision is made - Tyrod is gone

Every quarterback has bad games. That doesn't mean he's incapable of being the quarterback of a Super Bowl team.
We saw what a quarterback and offense who's "holding the team back" look like. 2013 and 2014. Taylor has led this offense to back-to-back Top 10 seasons.
