wppete Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/02/01/tyrod-taylor-has-nothing-but-love-for-buffalo-bills/ Tyrod was a class act here in Buffalo. Finally got us to the playoffs and seemed like an all around good guy. We now have our franchise QB in josh Allen. 21
BuffaloBillies Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Cleveland (or some team) should use him like a "slash"... put him in 4-5 times a game to run wildcat (or similar) with the real threat of passing. I would trust him to get 3 yards.
Gugny Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I have nothing but love for the trade that got us a 3rd round pick and sent this a-hole's ass packing. 4 4 3 1
RochesterLifer Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I love the final paragraph of the article: "People can say what they want about Tyrod Taylor as a quarterback, but in terms of a human being, there is no argument. Taylor is a first-class guy through and through." Absolutely. And for that, I will always be proud and happy he quarterbacked my team. 9 2 8

It was really awesome when he whipped out the race card after showing the world how horrible of a QB he was. Of course, it wasn't that he sucked. It was that he's black and people simply expect more of him because of it. He's scumbag for keeping racism alive and well. Not a first-class guy. Not even coach. He's a bum and the Bills were better the day he left. 6 3 1

Franco_92 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Love TT. I started watching in 2005 and he was by far the best QB I"ve seen the team have to this point. I'd like Josh to take enough of a leap this offseason to change that. But Tyrod QBed my favorite Bills season and moments to date. I was completely ready to move on last year, but glad to see he also looks back fondly. 3 1

My memory is crystal clear and my dislike (I can't hate a man I've never met) is not blind. Good day, sir. He was asked specifically about whether he felt race impacted the way people perceived his performance as a QB while the team was still winning. He was benched weeks later, and some select members of the media applied his previous comments as his reaction to the benching erroneously. Those who disliked him obviously read those statements and ran with them, also erroneously. Thems the facts, jack. 12 1

Jauronimo Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Tyrod delivered some of the most exciting performances and memorable plays of the drought era. He seems like a good guy and I wish him success. Just not in the AFC East. Edited February 1, 2019 by Jauronimo 4 1

Thanks in advance “It’s always going to be twice as bad just because of who I am – an African-American quarterback,” Taylor says, echoing a familiar refrain among people of color, regardless of professional status. “Look across the league, man. We’re held to a certain standard. We almost have to be perfect.” “I wouldn’t say it’s just an African-American quarterback thing. It’s an African-American athlete thing – or just an African-American thing,” he says, “And that’s not anything I just found out. It’s been that way since I was a kid.” “They claim that we’re (Taylor, Newton, Wilson) not that accurate from the pocket. I’m not sure why,” Taylor says, before adding of Rodgers and Carr: “Even though they’re ‘mobile’ guys, they don’t necessarily take on the same criticism as others. It probably is unfair.” https://buffalonews.com/2017/10/14/tyrod-taylor-unfiltered-win-everythings-great-lose-want-crucify/ 2 1

Mark80 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Why wouldn't he love Buffalo? We gave him $25M ($41 if you count the $16 the Browns paid him on our contract). $41M, set for his entire life, for a mediocre at best performance. Could you imagine making $41M being "OK" at your job? I would even argue that he was flat out bad. $41M for being a bad performing employee. Yikes. I don't care how great of a person he is, that's crazy if you think about it. I would offer up that he held back a team of talented WR (Woods, Hogan, Goodwin, Watkins actually looks like a pretty darn good WR corp these days) with a talented RB and a pretty good OLine. He didn't break the drought, he held us back from being a real threat. Edited February 1, 2019 by Mark80 1
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 No one ever said he wasn't a nice guy. A Very Good QB now thats a whole different story Just now, Jauronimo said: https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/198527-espn-claims-taylor-claiming-racial-motivation-for-benching/ now who wrote that?? a baseball comes to mind but I could be mistaken I guess I was mistaken

Thanks for going through the bother of sourcing. Appreciated. So TT was a great QB, we just didn't recognize that because we're racists. Got it.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 It’s funny, that the people that wanted EJ to win the QB battle have never come to terms that Tyrod was absolutely the best option at the time. He delivered a winning record as the Bills QB and ended the drought. He handled himself with class the entire time. Tyrod is a guy that we should remember fondly. He was a decent QB that didn’t lose games. 10 2 7
