    Would you agree to this three-team trade?

    Been thinking about the Taylor situation, and it's going to go one of two ways. Either he regresses, and we need a QB again, OR, he plays well and we have to give him a huge contract.

    Gilmore is also coming up next year. I'd rather have Gilmore than Taylor, if it comes down to the two. I'd like to have some money to keep Sammy Watkins around too when his inevitable huge deal will have to be made. Would you make the following hypothetical trade:

    Bills trade Talyor to Denver, who trades whatever draft pick to San Fran, who trades Kaepernick to Buffalo. Basically a Taylor-for-Kaepernick swap. I would do it in a heartbeat.

    Nope.

    I'm not a Taylor fan at all, but Kaepernick's been figured out. His star has fizzled. He'll never be very good again.

      In two years under Roman, he went to a SB and an NFC Championship Game that they lost by a hair. He strikes me as a "needs a change of scenery" guy.

        Maybe. I'm not as high as that on him. Just my opinion though.

          Yeah, I'm just spitballing here. Taylor seems like a good game manager, but I don't think he'll ever be the kind of dude where, if the Bills are down by 17 with 12:00 mins left in the 3rd quarter, you'll say, "it's okay, we got a guy that can bring us back."

            This idea makes me sad.

                SF is going to dump Kap as soon as they can without penalty which is next year. We can essentially get him without giving up anything.
                I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
                "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
                You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
                It was all
                true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
                He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
                mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

                  We can't afford Kaepernick's 2016 salary and he's already refused to lower it.

                    Tyrod's an FA next year. Kap will get cut next year. We will have a lot of cap space. Our choice.

                      No. I'll add Taylor needs to do more than 'play well', he needs to up what he did last season (which was play well) and split the difference between 'playing well' and 'elite'. If Tyrod doesn't make enough progress where there is almost definitive evidence that he could be elite he isn't worth a big money contract.

                        Well, I think we have like 55 million in cap space projected for next season, so don't worry too much about the money factor anyway.

                        I'm a Kap fan, but like Illumi noted, he wouldn't lower his salary for Denver, he wouldn't come here for vet minimum, which is about all we can afford this season.

                        I still really like the idea of pistol Kap with pistol Gailey, won't happen though.

                        I'm not sure Taylor will amount to much, but I'm not really sure he won't if he grows a little and stays healthy. He was pretty much a vet rookie starter and did pretty well with that perspective so I say roll the dice on him and see what happens. We don't have a gunslinger offense and aren't meant to win shootouts with this staff anyway.

                        Biggest thing though about Kap, he didn't thrive in a Roman offense. Roman did the running game. Harbaugh did the passing game, so Kap thrived under Harbaugh. I don't see Wildcat Lee being Harbaugh.

                          Nipping at someone's Rx cough medicine , are ya?Taylor needs a 30% leap of improvement. Perhaps more. Tyrod is now known. NE Figured him out.

                          1.Rush wide and outside from the DE position and keep him in the pocket.
                          2. Cover from three yards wide of the hash marks to each sideline.
                          3. Repeat ad nauseum.

                          So Taylor has to learn to stay put and use the middle . BIG LEAP. HUGE. That is a glaring problem. Tanner ill can't hit a deep ball . Just cannot do it. Can Taylor use the WHOLE field like a real QB? Big question mark.

                            You're insane. Kaepernick is garbage.
