Rapoport: Sunday is "Likely" Tyrod Taylor's Last Regular Season Game as a Bill

[Dr.Sack]

Face it, Tyrod is our QB. He found a rhythm with a gimpy Benjamin in New England. Imagine if he had a dominant 6’6 TE & Zay Jones develops into a legit starter. Imagine if Dennison could design an offense around Russell Wilson aka Tyrod Taylor. The Bills needs are beyond the QB position. In fact Pererman, if I’m reading the tea leaves at TBD could be a decent starter/backup, rendering using our 1st round or worse trading and using multiple draft picks to draft a “sure fire” high round 1st a risk not worth taking. 

 

McDermott/Beane know the weaknesses of this team. They also know the risks of striking out on QB. If they can win 8 or 9 games with Tyrod behind a talent deprived roster, what can t they do with reserve talent?

A first round pick for Tyrod? That would be mind boggling, even for the Browns.

No... Tryod as part of a bundled package with one of our firsts and maybe a 3rd.

[Manther]

I personally hope this is Tyrod's last regular season game as a Bill.  But, I hope it is not his last game as a Bill!

 

Go playoffs!!

Teams with a loaded roster outside of QB could look at Tyrod. Jaguars or Broncos likely options. Wouldn't fetch much but he is a guy a team can with with when the defense is sturdy and receivers can separate. I know everyone is quick to dismiss him because he isn't able to single-handedly win games for us, but he is an NFL talent. If our defense in 2015 was anywhere near the 2014 team Rex inherited we would have been a playoff team for sure.

 

Why would the Jaguars replace Bortles with Taylor? There is no question who has played better this season.

Bills will be looking for a trade rather than releasing him. 

 

 

In other news, water is found to be wet.  Rapoport is usually better than this.

I hope he lights it up against Miami then. Hopefully teams will look at that "upside" and trade with us as opposed to hoping he chooses them in FA.

Teams still have that pesky thing called film

I hope he goes to Cleveland and mentors their new qb. My hope is it is part of a trade for their 2nd first round pick and we are able to keep some of our draft capital while we take an early QB.

How is Taylor a "mentor" and a 1st round pick in return? Come on

Man, Tyrod in Jacksonville, with that defense, and a nice running game with Fournette? They'll be quite the team.

This is the only scenario that makes sense because while the other 31 teams can call Buffalo's bluff, there is that one team who believes it's better to give up a mid to late round pick and secure his rights than to true and lure him to their team only to have to pay a high premium contract right at the start. The receiving team could still have him at a reasonable contract for a year and essentially say what the Bills did, "Go prove you're worth the money". 

 

For a team like Denver or even the Browns as a QB to compete with their new, shiny QB or simply to hold the spot, or even a team like the Cards depending on what happens with Arians, could make some sense for the reasons I just mentioned. For the Bills, at WORST they would have to eat his contract and let him be the #2 guy and as injuries happen, for them it would be a security blanket and of course at best they get a pick for him. Hopefully, this is the kind of smart, shrewd type of business we'll be seeing from now on...

I think Bortles 5th year option is only injury guaranteed so they could save money by cutting him that is fair.  But I suspect they work out a deal with him that extends him two years right in that Bradford - Glennon - Taylor bridge range.  

[Section242]

Maybe a team with a new QB trades a 6th or 7th rd pick for him to start for a few games. I think he's most likely a back-up next year.

[cd1]

Boy, you would think that the Bills would also need such a bridge and mentor.

 

I absolutely want to move on from Taylor BUT if we are banking on some rookie QB, WE are going to need him as bridge and mentor.

 

If we trade him, we are likely going after Cousins or Smith.

Duh...I think we all knew that.

 

Next thing Rappaport is going to report on is that the sky is Blue.

 

He needs to stick to playing Tiny Tennis against a wig wearing Arnold...

The national media sure does have a throbbing hard-on about Taylor's benching vs. Chargers. Still.

I still think Coughlin tries to find a way that is feasible for the team to get Eli.

You have to hope Rappaport is right about a trade, but who's going to give anything up for him when he's likely to be a free agent?  And why would anyone get into a bidding war for Tyrod Taylor to "insure" the Bills pick up his option so he can be traded?

depends on how much the option is for

[Acattack15]

Sometimes you have to risk going two steps back in order to attempt to go 10 steps ahead......

 

Meaning we know we can win 8-9 games a year with Tyrod at QB, but IMO we shouldn't be satisfied with that. Its not about just making a wild card game, but rather building a dominant team year in & year out. They need to take a swing for the fences and attempt to get a franchise QB. Its possible that means having less wins next season, but IMO you gotta at least try for the health of the franchise for the next decade. 

 

Spend the capital and get a legit QB (I prefer trade up and draft someone, but understnd the Cousins outlook too). 

 

Just my 2 cents.

it was anti NFL, coaches don't do that. Thats why I still like the decision even though PeterMan laid a big egg.
