If sustained success in the modern NFL requires having one of the league's top quarterbacks, the Buffalo Bills' decision ____day to release Tyrod Taylor was a bold move in the right direction.
Some might call the Bills clowns for dumping Taylor, but the reality is that the Bills were stuck in the middle with a capable but average starting quarterback. Given the choice between guaranteeing Taylor about $30 million and locking him in as the Bills' starter for the foreseeable future, or beginning the search for a younger quarterback with a higher ceiling, fifth-year general manager Doug Whaley rolled the dice and determined Taylor would never be good enough to get his team to the promised land.
