fridge Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I'll take the same Taylor as last year with gusto. #7 in points? #1 rushing? Oh what torture! As long as Frazier can count to 11 the playoffs are within our grasp. As for drafting a QB wait till 2018. Don't waste a pick on the collection of overhyped duds this year. We already have a project QB in C.Jones. Wow. This post is...well, let's just say we couldn't agree less. You want to skip drafting a QB and are praising Taylor because of our strong rushing game. We truly are a battered fan base.
klos63 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I'm okay with this as long as we draft a couple QB's in the next two drafts. If we neglect grooming a young QB I could very well seeing it be the beginning of the end for Doug Whaley. Aren't we doing that with Jones?
dezertbill Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Doubt this has anything to do with less money. With Osweilers making $18 mill and Glennon rumored at $15mil TT is a steal at $16mil. I would think it's more about the cap effect But all along I don't believe this was about cutting a million here or there. This was about the Bills belief that he was THEE guy to lead the Bills into the future. It seems SM and his coaches are sold on him and he trumped DW wanting to move on This also was a bi product of the Bills realizing that a Romo wasn't avail to them or other options. Bills also probably realized that a QB drafted this year won't play at the level TT would. Again, The Bills offensive production was at a playoff level last season. It was the defense who fell short. This confirms this. Edited March 8, 2017 by dezertbill
Bangarang Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I'm just glad all the speculation can end. I'm hopeful that a new coaching staff and offense can get the most out of Tyrod but I have doubts that he's going to be much better than we've already seen the last 2 years. I still hope Whaley remains proactive with trying to find a long term solution. Edited March 8, 2017 by Bangarang
Roundybout Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 yeah mediocrity, go bills Name a better option
xRUSHx Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 We will never learn. I could care less about the draft now. Wake me up in three yearsSadly many feel this way, same old Bills, giving raises to other teams backups. Whaley QB purgatory, Fitz2.0
DC Grid Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 How can you say that without seeing the deal? I would've been fine with the old deal. I assume that the Bills didn't make things worse for themselves. This IS a lot to assume but today I have hope.
klos63 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Wow. This post is...well, let's just say we couldn't agree less. You want to skip drafting a QB and are praising Taylor because of our strong rushing game. We truly are a battered fan base. I think the obvious point is and has been for a long time, our defense is the reason we had a crappy season and we fired the coaching staff. Those with TT derangement syndrome have never been able to recognize that.
The_Dude Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I'll take the same Taylor as last year with gusto. #7 in points? #1 rushing? Oh what torture!

We already have a project QB in C.Jones. We ran up scores on bad teams, and the offense was a product of McCoy, not Taylor.
Captainrc4 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Just saw tweets from Shefter Not sure how Hoyer fits in here, but it looks like we are keeping Taylor on a restructured contract. I think this is the right call. Now draft Mahomes and lets reload for 2017 Yay for us and keeping an average at best QB. I cant wait to see what the numbers are and I still hope that the Bills do draft a QB in the first or 2nd round...Someone that can actually see the whole field and throw receivers open...and dont run when a receiver is wide open in the middle of the field.
Roundybout Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 Great. This insures us to pick at #10 in 2018 and finish 7-9. Too bad to make to make playoffs, too good to get in on Darnold sweepstakes. Typical. Lets get a kicker that can kick worth **** and a defense with 11 guys on the field, then talk.
fridge Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Aren't we doing that with Jones? I guess? I could revise to if we "neglect to successfully groom a young QB". I like Jones as a project, but I feel like him being a legitimate NFL starter seems more like a pipe dream. If Whaley's back-up plan to Tyrod is simply Cardale Jones then I think we're in big trouble.
dezertbill Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 As for drafting a QB, bringing back TT allows the Bills to address other needy positions such as WR, S, CB, and a LB that fits SM defense. We need to get starters In The draft at those positions in order to be successful next season.
T-Bomb Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I'm glad he's staying, but also surprised he restructured.

If Whaley's back-up plan to Tyrod is simply Cardale Jones then I think we're in big trouble. If you are correct on Jones being a pipe dream, and you probably are, It wouldn't surprise me to see them draft a QB this year. And it sounds like Hoyer is the backup plan.
dgrochester55 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) I am glad that this happened, there wasn't really a better option for next year. I would still like to see either a quarterback get drafted or add a veteran, but this takes away a huge worry. Edited March 8, 2017 by dgrochester55
H2o Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Fire Whaley, he's killing this franchise. Worst GM ever.
Big C Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I can dig this. Hoyer is possibly the best backup in the league.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 They may actually expect him to help the team win the playoffs with a better defense and kicking game. And I think he can. In fact, I was ok with just picking up his option. I honestly think he gives us the best chance to win now, and you don't flush away the last year's with high cost free agents by dropping in someone from a dubious QB draft class. My worry is if we want to move on next year. It would have been pricy next year, but we could have done it. If we lock in, I am worried. On the other hand, the Rapp report makes me feel better. If his sources are saying that the new coaches wanted him all along but at a lower price tag, then they have a plan of what to do with him.
