thebandit27 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 He's looking that up right now. Perhaps the board's biggest troll in history. Why indulge him? GO BILLS!!! And to think, I always though I was acute guy.
K-9 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I think he meant tooten may bee two 5 or two ten maybe too five. Possibly tooenmay beetwofive. Thanks for clearing that up for me. It's so obvious when you break it down scientifically. GO BILLS!!!
26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 @SalSports Going on @WGR550 with @Bulldogwgr and @BradRiter right at 3pm to talk about the Tyrod Taylor extension.
NoSaint Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 19s20 seconds ago My understanding of Tyrod Taylor's deal is its complex. So, 2016 is fully guaranteed, but after that there is a lot of prove-it in the deal. if accurate, paired with the pay rates initially coming out.... great win for the bills here
Jauronimo 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. Yeah you were. And rightfully so.
Ronin Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) I'm serious--at the time, they had nothing in the cupboard. They took the QB with the most upside. Just because he turned out to be a bust doesn't mean it was an ill-advised pick. That entire draft class was well below average; I have no problem with the EJ pick. The Kouandjio pick, on the other hand... You need to go back and look at that draft and in particular what they were saying about Manuel. The consensus was that we reached for a QB that was a 2nd to 4th rounder. Some even had him 5th or 6th. He turned out to be a bust because he was drafted way too high. If we had drafted him in round 3 or 4, or hell, even 2, it wouldn't have been nearly as big a deal. You have leap frogged my point tho, altho not untypical for you, that Manuel was a poor pick. You can add all the reasons and excuses, but he was a poor pick and thus far Whaley's taken hardly any practical heat for it. And yes, it was his pick, he himself has made this perfectly clear and you can go listen to him anytime. In fact, he boldly proclaims that EJ had "the IT factor." Do you agree, did EJ have "the IT factor?" Most people atune to the draft thought that was laughable. I don't know what's in your memory banks, but it's not reality.

NoSaint Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Lower tier? hes essentially the cheapest vet starting contract in the league.
Mike in Horseheads Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Lower tier? Did someone say Southern Tier? Hellooooo

If you don't have a QB, then you take your shot whenever you can. That's what they did. That it didn't work out doesn't mean it was wrong. As to the "it factor", did you want him to say "he's not ideal, but we HAD to do SOMETHING "? Seriously?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) You wanted a deal signed because you, without any evidence, thought TT hated the Bills and would refuse to sign after this season if we didn't pay him $20M per year. Even after today, it remains a stupid take.Nice try lying. I said the Bills risked ill will if they made TT play the season at $2MM, which as I said earlier, is an insult to any 2nd year starter.

K-9 Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 @AlbertBreer Albert Breer Retweeted Tyrod Taylor's agent tweets -- five-year extension, $92 million base, with upside to $115 million. https://twitter.com/AdisaBakari/status/764173976105000960 Let's hope he earns and sees every penny. This deal will serve as a model for the league moving forward. Well done Jimmy O! GO BILLS!!!

Kirby Jackson Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 Need to see more details on the gtd money and outs. No real reason to make this deal at this time. The guaranteed money, structure and outs were the reason to make the deal at this time. If he duplicated last year's performance (not a stretch) you would be looking at an AAV of $20M w/ much more fully guaranteed. The reason to do it now was because you were able to control him for as long as you want at a more than fair salary (23rd highest QB AAV).
bacarri and coke Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I LOVE this.Tyrod has taken the bull by the horns worked his butt off,acted like a pro and blown the other qbs out of the water in camp.He has done nothing but shown signs of improvement since he stepped through the doors.He had a nice year last year and seems to be building on that.He is not Trent Edwards guys he just isn't anyone without slow eyes can see that.As far as comparing it to the Fitz contract as stated by other that wasn't as bad of a deal as some people think.To be honest Fitz is doing OK in NY anyway he wasn't really a bust he was hurt and we should have never dumped him anyways.All in all I LOVE the BLACK UNICORN.Viva LA unicornio negro..ariba!!
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 I hope he gets every penny in that contract. It means his numbers were just that good. that's what i'm talkin bout

26CornerBlitz Posted August 12, 2016 Posted August 12, 2016 $92-$115 for 5 years would be $18.4M-$23M Agent deleted the tweet, so it must not have the correct figures.
