Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was traded to the Cleveland Browns last offseason. It was an interesting time for Taylor in Buffalo, as it appeared the Bills’ brass including head coach Sean McDermott were set on replacing him eventually and did so with Josh Allen.
Regardless, Taylor apparently still has love for the city of Buffalo.
During a Q&A on Twitter Thursday night, Taylor responded to one fan’s tweet thanking him for ending the Bills playoff drought, by praising the Queen City:
“We had a great run! Nothing but love for the city of Buffalo.” Taylor tweet
Taylor had an up and down career in Buffalo, throwing for 8,857-yards, 51 touchdowns and 16 interceptions during his three seasons with the Bills. He also added another 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns rushing.
The main criticism of Tyrod was his inability to make certain NFL throws and his refusal to take chances, which often resulted in a stagnant offense.
After Taylor was traded to Cleveland for a third-round pick, the Browns went on to select QB Baker Mayfield first-overall in the 2018 draft. Mayfield replaced Taylor as the Browns starting quarterback during Week 3, following an injury to Tyrod.
People can say what they want about Tyrod Taylor as a quarterback, but in terms of a human being, there is no argument. Taylor is a first-class guy through and through.
