Tyrod Taylor Staying in Buffalo

[Don Calhoun]

...on a restructured deal.

 

[Kontradiction]

That's great news for the Pats.

I think there's a lot of teams in a worse position in terms of QB, this guy is serviceable with some upside. The problem in Buffalo is ownership, GMing, coaching, culture.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

That's great news for the Pats.

In multiple ways. It means another quarterback-needy team will be desparate for JG.

 

[The Gr8est]

That's great news for the Pats.

But not for Cleveland.

He is "good". So, in that respect, it means BUF could beat NE once, if everything goes well. But "good" isn't going to get you the big one, unless you have a Denver 2015 D & things go your way...

They could do worse, but why "play for good" would be my question ? (Though if I hadn't cheered for anything good in years, maybe it'd be different)

 

[WaterfallJumper]

That's great news for the Pats.

While I mostly agree that Taylor isn't all that, he is at least an average level starter. I was hoping they'd get rid of him and draft another bust at QB. That way it would push a good player down to us in the draft, and we'd have another decade of hilarity against Buffalo.

Good news for the Patriots. Lol

Taylor sucks. Calling him an average starter is almost an insult to average starters.

 

[sb1]

Decent backup. Not an NFL starting QB.

The BUZZ on Taylor has always exceeded his performance

 

[AtomicDawg]

Bills fans call him "T-Mobile". LMAO

That's all you need to know how badly they wanted him back.

 

[Gronkowski123]

Tyrod stinks!

Great news for us!!

I would say both these are true. One of those guys who is not good enough but pretty solid. It is a bad spot to be honestly cause it is hard to justify letting him go and rebuilding which probably takes you back to 2-14 or 3-13 while you look for the next QB but it beats the other way.

No team does the "lets build around a so-so QB long term with good players" model better than KC. Locking Smith up long term helped them get into the playoffs more than not but they are now stuck there and the final 4 seems like the ceiling if everything goes right.

 

[BobDigital]

The big news for the Pats is one less NFL quality QB on the board. Need for Jimmy stays up as we were never going to trade him to the Bills anyway. Good signing for the Pats.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I say we still have the 2 best quarterbacks in the AFCE.

Give Brissett another training camp and we might have 3 of the 4 best QBs (AFCE).
