Are we sure Tyrod Taylor isn't the best (potential) option?

Seems like you have issues following along too, but that's all right, anything to prevent yourself from having to explain how you think Alex Smith or Brock Osweiler is better than Taylor.

 

I already explained that to you.....and then you made an ass out of yourself by citing a bunk ESPN stat that led you to try and make a case that Tyrod Taylor was a top 10 QB.

It wasn't that long ago, you really should remember it still.

 

I mean, you don't even have to take my word for it, the fact that the Bills are looking to dump him instead of keeping him around at the 20th lowest cap hit among QB's shows that they have no faith that he's even a top 20 QB in the league. They are tired of having a RB running the Wildcat, they want a real QB moving forward.

 

Yasssssss

 

and the Texans are looking to dump Osweiler too, and there's no chance they pick up his option after next season unless he becomes a different QB. Alex Smith's position in KC is also tenuous. The idea that you can use front office decision making as an indicator which QB is better is moronic. By your logic, since the Bills drafted Cardale Jones, does that make him a legit QB prospect? I mean, the Bills drafted him right? They clearly know QB evaluation.

 

The numbers say that Tyrod Taylor isn't a top 20 QB, the Bills actions say that he's not a top 20 QB, you think he's a top 10 QB.....

I mean, wow. Why are you still arguing this, haven't you been embarrassed enough? Just take the L and move on.

 

I won countless super bowls in madden when he came out as a rookie if that helps his argument....

 

Sadly, that's the most valid argument in his favor thus far.

 

once again your lack of reading comprehension kicks in...

 

No, that's just you trying to revise history.....but it happened WAY too recently kiddo.

 

Relationship between Buffalo Bills, Tyrod Taylor has “warmed up”

The chances that Taylor remains with the Bills seem to increase with each passing day.

The only thing that matters in the NFL is cap hit, you are fooling yourself if you think differently. You might as well give this one up, teams guarantee tons of money to QB's all the time be it salary or signing bonus. There is no practical difference between them guaranteeing salary right now and them signing a new deal with that money as a signing bonus. Choosing to keep him is effectively signing a new deal the way it is structured.....and they don't want to do that because he's an awful QB.

A 31 million dollar guarantee for a QB is pretty small actually. If they thought he was worth a damn, they'd jump on that deal in a heartbeat.

 

What would be the difference between writing that check as guaranteed salary vs writing that check as a signing bonus if it were a new contract?

When you talk about those other QB's you're talking about contracts they signed years ago, not contracts signed today. Andrew Luck signed a deal last year with 87 million worth of practical guarantees. That's the kinds of numbers we're seeing today.

Again, NFL teams would not balk at guaranteeing 2 years at a below average cap hit for a QB they considered good......if they actually got a QB that was good they'd have to cut that check anyway.

Tyrod Taylor is hot garbage as a QB and that's why they are struggling with the decision to keep him around 2 more years......much like how the Texans wouldn't keep Osweiler around for 2 more years at his level of performance thus far. It's actually kind of crazy that we have Tyrod Taylor apologists.

 

This is just another example of you being intellectually dishonest. You are talking about one portion of the 87 million dollars worth of guarantees that Andrew Luck had in his contract and you are comparing it to the lump payment in Tyrod Taylor's when they accept the final 2 years of his deal. The contracts are just structured differently

87 million >>>>>> 30.75 million

More importantly Tyrod Taylor only had 9.5 mil worth of guarantees at signing so it was really

87 million >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 9.5 million

The 31 mil lump sum in the middle is effectively a new contract. They set his deal up where he was set to make VERY little in the first year so they could get a feel for him and be able to cut him at any time before the real deal was set to hit. The real deal was a below average QB contract and now that they are effectively faced with the decision to sign (keep) Taylor to a below average QB contract, they are thinking that he's not worth it. They didn't mind him for 9 million on a one year deal, but 15-16 million dollars for at least 2 years? Not worth it.

Anyway, you've made it clear that you have no intention of honestly discussing this, so there's no reason to continue. Fee free to keep being a Tyrod Taylor apologist, we'll see where it gets you.

 

Please stop! This nonsense is ridiculous! Tyrod is like Fitzpatrick in skill level

 

Tyrod is pretty much incapable of bringing his team back, most of the time. He's pretty much an extra running threat in a running offense

 

I have Ignore feature on certain poster. And just reading the responses to Ignored poster is LMAO-worthy.

That ANYONE would try to REPEATEDLY argue FOR 150% OBSERVABLY proven TERRIBLE players, and REPEATEDLY try to bash AGAINST DECENT/GOOD players ... ?? For YEARS, even with HARD EVIDENCE there.

And then forget player stats, trying to argue against hard QUANTIFIED SALARY #'s, where the SMALLER # is always BETTER than the BIGGER # REGARDLESS of talent level. Meaning 1+1 DOES NOT equal 2 to that person.... Goodness. Thank you Clutch, for beefing up the "Iggy" feature to keep from being subjected to that.
