DrDawkinstein Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Don't forget I was mocked for saying the Bills should take care of Taylor before the season began. Dont worry, we'll find something else to mock you about soon enough.
billsfan89 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 The contract is obviously a gamble but it's one that you almost kind of have to take. It's a QB driven league and if you think Tyrod is the guy then you have to take that chance. The deal is also fairly reasonable if the Bills have to swallow it similar to the Fitz deal. 15 million per year is fairly lower mid level for a starting QB and still allows the team to build the rest of the team fairly well around him (Most upper level starters make well over 20 million, that 5 plus million saved is a huge advantage). Overall it's a deal that can backfire but if it does pay off it could be hitting a jackpot. Fortune favors the bold so I would rather make mistakes being aggressive with talent than being too cautious.
JoeF Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 This is a stellar deal even if its just the base...at this average Taylor is the 17th highest paid QB in the league. Think about it this way from a cap perspective...we are basically getting Jerry Hughes and Tyrod Taylor for the same price that the top paying QB teams pay for their QB...
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 For reference, this puts him 23rd amongst QBs in AAVamazing isn't it? Someone buy Overdorf a drink tonight please.
Heitz Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Jesus, we just signed a QB to a long term deal. Just enjoy that we don't have to worry about losing him to FA next year instead of digging in under the bridge. I kinda just stood here and thought the same thing - I can't believe we just signed a QB long term. Wow. If he can stay healthy, I really like Tyrod as the guy! He's seems to be improving as a leader and QB in just one off-season, I'm excited to see where he'll be in 3 or 4!

jimmy10 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I'll just assume doom Don't just write off gloom, though.
Beef Jerky Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Official numbers , Wow. Whaley basically putting his career in the hands of Tyrod Taylor. That is what GMs do... It is called NFL.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Official numbers , Wow. Whaley basically putting his career in the hands of Tyrod Taylor. How is that different from drafting a QB?
Big C Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I kinda just stood here and thought the same thing - I can't believe we just signed a QB long term. Wow. If he can stay healthy, I really like Tyrod as the guy! He's seems to be improving as a leader and QB in just one off-season, I'm excited to see where he'll be in 3 or 4! Hopefully a new 6th round pick will be dominating the AFCE.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 @viccarucci According to NFL sources, #Bills have protected themselves w options, but satisfied Tyrod Taylor's desire to avg. $15M per yr in salary.
Beef Jerky Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Really? I mean REALLY? I know the TT fandemonium is strong around here. But come on. Your stupidity is stronger.
Andrew Son Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I want to see absolutely NO running in the pre season. Work on that quick pocket game
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Whats the Signing bonus? Pegulas jet?
Beef Jerky Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Don't forget I was mocked for saying the Bills should take care of Taylor before the season began. You should quote who mocked you b.c I doubt it was anyone worth a damn on these forums.
YoloinOhio Posted August 12, 2016 Author Posted August 12, 2016 @schadjoe Tyrod Taylors 6 year deal could be worth more than $100 million, per NFL source
thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 amazing isn't it? Someone buy Overdorf a drink tonight please. I think it's right where he belongs--somewhere in the 18-23 range They didn't learn anything from the Fitz deal No issues being tied to Tyrod for 2 more years. Job well done IMO.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 @viccarucci #Bills GM Doug Whaley said Tyrod Taylor's impressive offseason, command he showed w the offense, convinced team he was worthy of extension.
