    Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    Say you are GM of the Bills. Minnesota calls and says they'll trade you their 1st round pick in 2017 for Tyrod Taylor. Would you do it?

    Re: Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    Yes.

    Don't think he's worth a first round pick, so that's my basis for the the yes.

    Besides, I don't think this team is a playoff team regardless if Tyrod, EJ or Cardale is lined up behind center anyway.

    We might be a 5 win football team instead of a 6 win team under Tyrod. Maybe we get lucky and hit one year of actual NFL hell and win only 2 games and get the top pick in the draft and can take DeShaun Watson or Brad Kaaya. Or we could just attempt the feel good story of drafting Chad Kelly in Round 2 or with the Vikes 1st.

    I'm gonna vote yes as well... But I think we can do better than just 1 1st round pick... Dallas will probably be looking as well.

    No.

    I hate the contract we gave him, and I'm far from sold on him as a franchise guy, but we've gone too far to just give up on him. It's still a gamble worth taking for us at this point.

    I'm not convinced we'd draft anyone better anyway.

    He has the right attitude and a special set of skills. QB's are a must in this league, if you don't have one protecting the ball is a must. Taylor does that at the very least.
    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.

    No. We don't know what the future holds and our team today is NOT better without him him.

    While Tyrod is not a franchise qb, he's at least decent for now in a league that is starving for decent qb's.

    Re: Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    We finally found a real QB (hopefully) since Kelly retired, after 20 years of purgatory, and we trade him away for a stupid ass draft pick?

    Yes if the offer is Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck.

    I like Canadians, but STFU you stupid idiot.

    With Dallas and Minnesota competing, I would dangle him for more than just one first and let the bidding start there. Whatever the market will bear and if it bears enough, I would trade Jack Eichel too.
    Lehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.

    You've heard of the Mendoza line? In Buffalo we should adopt the Fitzpatrick line. And as much as I hate to admit it, when healthy Taylor is just above that line. So they should keep him. I'm not voting, even though I am tempted by that last choice.

    I wanted an additional vote for choice "c" as well...

    I do not believe there are any "untouchables" on the Bills as far as trades go... We haven't been to the playoffs in 842 years. You all think Tyrod is THAT special?

    We won't make the playoffs WITH him... I would love for the Bills to entertain ANY offers.

    Hell we could NOT make the playoffs with Jimmy Clausen under center... If the price is right... BOOM

    Re: Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    It's a choice I'm glad I wouldn't have to make in real life. If Taylor ends up sucking, the difference between trading him and not trading him means having $10 mill less in dead cap and an extra 1st rounder to find that QB. If he doesn't end up sucking, it basically means we got Favre'd.

    Either way, it's completely giving up on this season, and while I don't have high hopes, these guys have been working hard all summer and deserve their best shot at winning.

    Re: Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    There is no debate --- unless you have someone you BELIEVE is better, like Brady vs Bledsoe, you NEVER trade your better QB.

    Right now, Tyrod is the best QB the Bills have. End of debate.

    Re: Pure Hypothetical Question: Would you trade Tyrod if a team came calling?

    Foolish. No way. Watkins was expensive and now he's on the verge of being a top 5 WR in the NFL. We got a qb to compliment his skills and we got him for free.

    We've given up two first round picks and got Sammy and Tyrod. Why would we trade Tyrod to get a first rounder back? It impacts the previous investment too much.

    How about you tell us which of us 4 "clowns" that voted yes have ever complained that "the Bills always suck".

    In my defense, I said I would trade him for the right price. No player is safe (barring any clauses restricting a trade) if the right offer is there. When Dallas traded Herschel Walker to Minnesota, Dallas was a doormat and a lot of people thought the Vikings had finally found the final piece to get the championship. A few years later, it was Dallas who hoisted the Lombardi and the Vikings were losing in the wildcard games.
