If trading Tyrod is a consideration, wait until somebody's starter goes down. It's a buyer's market right now, we should get more than a fourth.

Friends of the team, I live in a well-connected town. I got taunted about it last night about all the years we missed the playoffs & our "QB starter" value is a 4th round pick when they called around to shop him. We're starting a back up at best. It's pretty sad, actually indefensible.

Tyrod is a top 20-32 QB. So I think its defensible

I think Nate Peterman is a better NFL QB than Tyrod Taylor.

First team that offers a 3rd round pick (or a 4th with preconditions that could turn in to a 3rd rounder) wins the Tyrod Taylor sweepstakes.

Taylor's contract is very favorable to making a trade.

The Bills may as well trade him now and get something for him instead of nothing.

Kind of like trading Sammy Watkins, the Bills got a high draft pick instead getting nothing in return.

Jacksonville? Will Doug Marrone and Tom Coughlin make the move? They can keep Bortles, I want nothing to do with that contract.

Peterman was just promoted to 2nd-string. Has he even practiced with the starters? He's never played against NFL starters, has he?

Don't blow your load. Peterman has played with and against backups, and has completed about half of his passes in brief appearances in preseason games. Peterman may (or may not) end up being better than Taylor, but there is no way in hell you can make that claim now.

A Taylor trade would be idiotic.

Dallas is a SB contender. A 3rd from them is near the bottom of the round but that's about the best we're going to do if we shopped Taylor. I don't see us netting a 2nd. And I'm skeptical we're shopping him at this point but that could change after the Baltimore game depending on how they both look.

If the Cowboys make that offer, the Bills should take it and run away laughing.

I agree we should take it but I think that a late third isn't really a reason to chortle about making a heist. That's a fair deal for them too. I think Taylor would look pretty good behind that line in Dallas, any QB with half decent talent would. TT isn't garbage he's just exceptionally mediocre. But you look at some of the backups they've had in Dallas the past few years (not last year they had Romo) and they've lost almost all of those games with the backup. If Taylor went say 3-1 for them if Dak got hurt for 4 games he'd be worth a late third. But you're not giving a 2nd for insurance.

On one hand, it's very hard for a QB to go to a new team just before the season and be remotely successful, regardless of whether the Bills have interest or not.

On the other hand, look at Sam Bradford and now Cutler. Put comes to shove it can happen.

Tyrod isn't have a great preseason thus far, but it doesn't mean he has to go immediately. Man you people have such as super short leash. This ain't fantasy football. You can't just shuffle things around like that based on a couple preseason games with no game planning.

I really doubt in the premise of this thread. I don't believe anyone is "lining up" for TT. And Peterman is not really ready to go, I think the coaches know that. But I think the coaches have also likely concluded that TT is not the long term answer here. And that the 2017 Bills are not a playoff team. So when/if the phone rings the Bills are certainly not hanging up the line. Just as long as people understand we're not going to give the guy away, no reason to, nor are we going to get blown away by any offers regardless of team need I think we're good here.

Several factors to bear in mind:

1) Taylor is having an abysmal preseason.
2) At the end of the season, the Bills will have to renegotiate his contract or release him. His current deal insanely overcompensates him (http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/tyrod-taylor-7899/) for 2018.
3) He is not a good fit for this offense. His strengths are running the ball, rolling out and passing it to whomever is open, and the deep ball. This offense deemphasizes all three of those things in favor of short, quick passes.

I'd much rather have a third round pick than a mediocre QB who's likely going into his last year as a Bill. The Bills would be foolish to keep him, unless they plan to start him. And the Bills would be foolish to start him, unless they plan to tank the season.

We want a 2nd and they are all giving 4th rounders, Dallas / Eagles (potentially through a 3rd team) are in the mix from what I was told. Tyrod isn't long for Buffalo. Ragland is gone if we get anything around a late 4th round, Reggie is not going to make it here in the long run. I consider that the worst kept secret so I'm not starting a thread about that.

Just to be clear, we always talk to the Eagles about a trade so that's not really out of the norm. Dallas can't get Kap and be America's kneeling team, even though he's their best choice.

McCoy is our best player, so it's have to be someone's soul or a very early pick.


McCoy's short-term value is high. No question there. But he's an aging player at a position not noted for longevity. So his likely value in three or four years is low. He's the perfect player for a team in win-now mode, especially if that team is in need of a running back.

The Bills should be looking to trade away players who have high short-term value, little to no long-term value. Why? Because this team is going to achieve absolutely nothing in the short-term, either with or without LeSean McCoy.

- The loss of McCoy represents short-term pain only. He will not be able to help this team over the long haul.
- The draft pick we'd be getting in exchange could help this team over the long haul. A solid, many year contributor to a playoff caliber team.
- Getting rid of McCoy might turn one or two would-be wins into losses. That of course helps our draft position. This benefit is in addition to the draft pick we'd be getting by trading him away.

McCoy is our best player, so it's have to be someone's soul or a very early pick.

What is a team willing to give up for a 29 year old RB ? As Arm of Harm mentions above it would most likely be a team that's in a position to win now, how many of those teams would be interested and what would they be willing to give in return ? I don't think it would much in the way of draft picks, I don't see a team giving up any 1st or 2nd rounders. McCoy is a special, but most of the teams in position to win a Championship are there because of their QB's, passing games and defenses.

2. No profanity or vulgarities, or attempts to bypass the language filter using alternate spellings of such words.

3. No racist, sexist, or other derogatory comments referring to sexual preference or orientation.

4. No Personal attacks or communication that is intended to harass, belittle, humiliate, embarrass, threaten or otherwise demean another poster. If you must vent towards a fellow poster as a result of words exchanged, you may do so via private communication such as e-mail. Veiled attacks directed at another poster and determined obvious by a Bills Zone staff member will be considered an attack. Failure to honor or oblige to requests to leave a poster alone by the said poster or a Bills Zone staff member will be considered a violation of this policy. Conversely, if you feel that your rights as a poster have been violated by another, contact a moderator or staff member with your concerns and we will assist you in resolving the issue.

5. No blatant or flagrant bashing of the site or message boards. Constructive criticism is encouraged and welcomed when it is made in the proper forum in the “Suggestions” area.

6. No spam.

7. No advertisements without prior approval by site management.

8. No Flames (or posts intended to harassingly antagonize a fellow poster). See Rule 4.

9. No posting of entire articles/copyrighted material. Posts containing news stories/article segments must also include a URL link to the article where it is originally published at the minimum.

10. Moderators reserve the right to relocate, remove, or close any postings including but not limited to threads, posts, messages, and images that are deemed inappropriate by the Bills Zone staff in the greater interests of the message board.

11. Failure to adhere to the Terms of Service will be considered grounds for immediate disciplinary action, including the loss of posting privileges overall or in any particular threads and permanent banning. The Zone will make every reasonable attempt to warn users of TOS violation(s) via PM (private message) and/or the e-mail that the user provided at time of their registration.

12. Any disagreement with actions taken by the Bills Zone staff may be discussed and appealed privately with the individual or other staff members.

Wait, falsehoods ?? I give you specific details of what happens and I get sent to spam. I even just subtly told you what the Sabres offered Jack Eichel Annually in one thread that I didn't even start it, yet it's a falsehood until you read about it at some point later. Trump tells you what's a lie, the press tries to discredit it and then we all come to find out the press lied. So then the press makes up a new story, which is another falsehood. That's the proper application of your term, try to get it clear in your head.

Become a Gold Member in support of this site, by forking over fifty bucks to support its' continuing existence. Then you get to access the no tos section, where your lost Zonebucks may reside.
Confederate money has more value now.

Oh it's quite clear in my head. You are the same old Skooby who hears rumors in the neighborhood way down in South Florida.

:monkeyp:

But we're all sure you'll keep trying. It's one of the constants here.

LOL @ this thread. IC crashes directly in to Yasgur, who likes to defend the tos only in threads that he starts. Why don't you amend the tos to stop such outrageous responses by stopping posters like skooby, BI and Finger of Harm from coming here and posting outrageous falsehoods. This place would be a much better place.
Adults should be able to consider and discuss different topics, and different viewpoints, without too many restrictions and a little bit of self-restraint, and respect. There are more than a few around here that can't handle it and should stick to facebook with the rest of their 14 year old friends, giggling about others misfortunes, calling them names, etc etc...but it should be of their own volition, not because they were treated differently than their peers.

The 'rules' should be pretty simple...you are an adult, act like one.

No more instigating insults IC... This is fair warning.

If people don't want to be called stupid, they should refrain from posting things I would call stupid.

You realize this is more homage than troll at this point, right?

Mental illness did according to ICR.

With all due respect to the Moderators here who I believe do an outstanding job, this is NOT a TOS issue.

It is a healthcare system issue -- Why can't an individual in your country easily access mental health professionals such that he/she does NOT need to attempt to seek daily therapy on a predominantly Buffalo Bills Message Board?

Aren't we all a little off here, following this perpetually losing franchise is close to insanity so let's not throw stones in a glass house.

Because, Lord knows, he makes many posts that I consider stupid.

No one pays attention to the golden rule: attack the post not the poster.

I cannot answer that question.

I have a B.A., LL.B. and a M.B.A. which does NOT qualify me to diagnose mental illness NOR address issues in that field. If you had economic, legal or management questions, I would feel comfortable answering competently.

If you had questions about the anus, rectum or lower colon, I cannot answer those questions either.

For those questions, please ask Swiper.
