ALF Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 The Bills acquired Taylor as a FA, now is worth #65 in the draft , wow , just wow . I still can't believe it. 3

We will need to see - with all of the receivers they have - it looks like they would have been better with a quick release passer getting the ball out, but now they have the longest release in the league. Not sure what they will run, but they will most likely not turn it over as much.

My gut is telling me that we are trading for Foles. Just a hunch... Id be happy with that as long as it doesn't mean we are not going after Rosen/Mayfield/Darnold. If they trade for him and only draft a mid/late round QB I'll be quite disappointed. If they trade for him thinking he can be our QB for years and skip drafting a QB all together, I'll be pissed. If the Bills trade early picks for Foles.......limiting their ability to trade up.......... this board will explode with rage. Tyrod plus Josh Gordon and T. Pryor, Landry and maybe Saquon?...........THAT's what I'm talking about.........that's a dream come true setup for TT's style. But from the Bills perspective.......$10M is nice savings going into FA when they are desperate to re-stock their awful roster and first pick of the third is fair compensation for an unpopular QB in his walk year. I love this trade........forces Beane and McD's hand to get THEIR QB and OWN it. Not having a QB who won't turn the ball over like Tyrod will force McD to play to win.......no more safety net........and now he won't have someone else's QB to scapegoat like that "starting Peterman with the team in the playoff race" bullsh*t! 4

Get cap space to sign one of the FAs then see what falls to them. If not this could be a bad move cause all the teams interested in dealing with them know the Bills are desperate with a barely NFL capable QB on the roster and no more veteran bridge QB. It was prob both. top pick in the 3rd is no joke. 10 mill in cap can sign a really, really nice player. The plan was always to get a QB. I'm so glad we did not throw away 6mill in cap space as well. 1
Bangarang Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Beane must be a helluva negotiator. Insane that we were able to get a 3rd from the Browns

Anyway, Taylors a good guy, but this is a good move for the Bills in their quest to fix the QB position. You can't knock Tyrod as a person or as a teammate, he did all he could. He worked hard and showed good leadership, a QB that is respected in the locker room is a QB who is doing all he can. He might or might not have been the right QB for this team going forward but I can't hate the guy at all. 2 1
TigerJ Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 That is actually a decent move for the Browns. They were historically bad last season, and you know Tyrod will give them steady play - he won't turn the ball over and will make plays with his legs when receivers aren't open. He's much better than what they had, and they should actually win several games. That will create some good will among fans. Happy fans mean a happy owner, and a happy owner may cut the new GM and incumbent head coach some slack. For Buffalo, it's a clean break and removes the financial pressure of paying his bonus to reserve the right to trade him later. It also says Beane is relatively confident he can obtain an upgrade whether via free agency or the draft. The pressure will be on him to turn that potential into reality. 3

I ddon't like that plan. The first thing I would do is watch the playoff game of the Bengals vs the Steelers. His college numbers are crazy good and his time as a starter are solid.

Crazy TD/INT ratio.

Steph Curry & Lebron ... May as well change they name to the Cleveland All Stars some of our players are honestly !@#$ing delusional thinking Tyrod is a quality NFL QB this city hasn't seen a good QB in so long its forgotten what one looks like

I know he has potential but regard him as an unknown commodity still.
JPP Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Its almost guaranteed now cleveland will take barkley at #1 and i still think they take a QB off the board at #4....taylor is going to be the bridge......Foles i would not mind at all! still would like a rookie qb but i think maybe harder to get to...

I have a feeling Browns fans are actually pissed off and worried they will not draft a QB now.... I would be.
BuffaloHokie13 Posted March 9, 2018 Posted March 9, 2018 Worthless they said. Not even for a 7th rounder they said... Tyrod's value quite literally cemented the ammunition we need to go get Rosen. 6
