get over the last time we played a playoff game boo hoo
first year starting qb's don't rip it up, you would have run Aaron Rogers out of town when he went 6-10
Are you seriously comparing Tyrod Taylor to Aaron Rodgers?
-
so, when we move up to grab this franchise QB does he start day 1 or do you play it by ear?
If it's Deshone Kizer you start him on day 1 baby

Got to play in the playoffs to have a chance to win
THEY ARE ALL GAMBLES
omg
JP Losman was a huge "WTF?" gamble. And EJ Manuel was projected 3rd or 4th round pick. I'm saying to pick a consensus first round pick.

The one positive that can be taken from this disappointing season is that we have a qb who may be a good franchise qb. Do we know for sure? Of course not. But anyone who is fair-minded has to acknowledge that he has most of the attributes (other than height) that a good qb has to have.
As a passer he has the arm, touch and accuracy required to be a starter. It is readily apparent that he isn't very proficient in going through his progressions from the pocket but he has gotten better. Next year we should have a better sense as to whether he can master the challenge of making more than one read before throwing the ball.
The addition of TT, a four year backup who decided to sign with us, was an unexpected bonus that few of us thought would materialize the way it did. If Rex was instrumental in that acquisition then he should be credited for it.
If TT continues to improve, as I believe he will, then this team finally has the essential piece that at the minimum will allow this team to seriously compete. Putting things in perspective it is more important to have a capable qb established as our starting qb than to barely qualify for a wild-card spot this year.
a "good franchise QB". What's wrong with a great franchise QB? Move up in the draft to select a true 1st round talent. Tyrod Taylor to me is no different than Thad Lewis save for his running ability. They are both strong armed, one read quarterbacks.
-
We moved up to the 4th pick two years ago. Shouldn't be that hard to do it again in the next 2-3 years to take a true 1st round QB. Deshone Kizer is my vote
-
I believe that the first (& most important) step is getting there.
Is that what we're arguing? We should flush every QB who may not be able to win the big one until we find one who can win the big one? Is that really what you're saying because it appears that that is exactly what you're saying. How long do you suppose this process will take?
Have to draft a clear cut 1st round quarterback. No more Losman and EJ Manuel gambles.
-
really? So you would have sat out last years playoff game(s)? Cause this team would have been there with a slightly above average QB. (& Smith is that)
Chiefs were in playoffs two years ago and they got embarrassed. What's wrong with hoping to go all the way?
-
One of them is a hall of fame player.....
One of them was horrible in his initial years and turned into a good qb
By the way...Alex Smith and TT are NOTHING alike.....the only thing they have in common is they take care of the ball.
also
This team would have been THRILLED to have Alex Smith at a certain point. He is the definition of game manager.
I would never be OK with Alex Smith as my QB. Stuck in mediocrity. The Chiefs try to do what the Bills tried to do: good defense, good running game, decent passing game. Doesn't get it done. You need an elite quarterback.
-
Alex Smith doesn't throw picks. Brett Favre did. A lot. Who would you rather have on your team?He IS being trusted to read the field......he is a starting QB in the NFL and according to the statistics a pretty darn good one
He IS however a 1st year starter....he has been holding a clipboard and barely had ANY game experience prior to this year in the NFL
I really dont understand peoples thinking sometimes.....what you have is a EXPERIENCED ROOKIE.....you do not have a 2 or 3 year starting qb. You have a QB that has less then a years starting experience.
He is playing better then the top 2 rookies of this last draft (which was considered a strong QB draft)....he takes care of the ball.
I swear to christ I think people would be more happy if he was throwing 3 TDs a game....300 yards....and 2 picks.....
Trust me....a QB that doesnt throw the ball away is MUCH more valuable.
-
In his first year starting.....once again folks FIRST YEAR STARTER
He's not a teenager John, he's 26. He should be trusted to read the field by now. But, suspiciously, Roman doesn't seem to want to let him do that. Is Roman afraid of what he might see?
-
Rusell Wilson doesn't run as much as you think he does. Watch a Seattle game sometime
-
He is not TRYING to develop his passing game
He IS developing his passing game.......which now including over the middle throws, throws from the pocket, and screens (it would help if the O line got the DL hands down on the screen plays)
John... Taylor right now is like a system quarterback under Greg Roman. Roman is basically telling Taylor what to do with the ball before each snap. That is hardly developing your game. As of right now, Taylor is a thrower, not a passer.
-
Take a flier on Kevin Hogan in the 5th or 6th round. Guy showed some heart and flashes of great skill. But, Whaley will probably draft a special teamer instead.
-
christ
Nobody is saying that there is not
Nova,
In all serious do you REALLY think TT is afraid to do anything on that field?
This is a guy that gets out and blocks for the running back on designed runs....knowing full well that he is putting himself in a position to get destroyed by a 250 pound heatseaking missile linebacker
IMO this is by design....he is being TOLD not to run all the time and work on his skills throwing from within the pocket. If he is being coached to do it then is the fault Tyrods? We dont know.
Scrambling will never win you a superbowl. Mike Vick got deep into the playoffs a few times but never won it all. I think in 2015 everyone knows this, including Tyrod, so he is trying to develop his passing game.
-
Do anyone else want to see EJs last hurrah??
No x1000. I'd rather see Chris Hogan revisit his high school days and play quarterback.
-
it wasn't just one game John. It has been many. All too often I have yelled at my TV to run when he could easily make the 1st with his feet.
He was chosen for his abilities. He needs to use them.
I think he's trying not to get his knee blown out and go down the tubes like RGIII
-
My point is that in some of these games Tyrod was scoring points in attempts to bring us back and fell short.
If they were not behind to begin with perhaps he doesnt fall short on game tieing drives?
People seem to forget what this team was supposed to be predicated on at the beginning of the season.....without Tyrod Taylor we are picking possibly top 5 in this next draft.....
It is symptomatic that he doesn't perform well under pressure. The 1st (and 2nd Patriot game). The Giant game. The Chiefs game. The Eagles game. Did anyone really feel in their guts that Taylor could knock the socks off of the opposing defense and win the game with his arm? My gut told me no. Just like when EJ tried to manufacture a final drive against the Jags. Didn't you just know that it wasn't going to happen?
-
Because he's not Tom Brady?
Now you are getting the point. But the Bills are so focused on ending their playoff drought that to even think about winning a superbowl is not an option right now. They want a quarterback who might be good enough, not one that is a clear cut franchise guy. BTW, they had a great chance at getting Russell Wilson. What happened there?
-
Excellent post. Why the Bills refuse to bring in a Tom Brady-like QB is indeed baffling. Heck, I'd even settle for a Ben Rothlisblahblah-like QB but you notice they won't bring one of them in either.
You guys go ahead and cherry pick little things. But my overall point is the truth, and the truth shatters your little comfort worlds. Tyrod Taylor sucks.
-
Bill Bellichick knows his stuff. Probably will go down as the greatest coach in history (I hate the Patriots, but if you don't think he's a great coach you are just wrong). With his gameplan in both of those games, he basically said "Ok Tyrod Taylor, beat us" and he could not. Bill Bellichick probably heard about Tyrod's great QB rating. He did not care. That's why he is a future hall of fame coach, and we are fans.
This matters because we need a quarterback like Tom Brady who gets angry. There are probably a big percentage of players in the league that winning is not on the top of their priority list. It is a job to them. But when you have a player that has the right genes to be a natural winner, that's when you get a good team. I think this is why the Bills come up small at every moment when they need to come up big. -
If you know what you are doing you can make a Honda Civic fast as hell. You obviously know as much about cars as you do football.
Maybe if you rip out everything but the chasis. It still won't be a Ferrari though
-
Weight training increases bone strength. Bills definitely seem to have a slightly higher injury rate than most teams.
-
He comes up small in big moments
-
I don't think this is going to happen, and that is perhaps my biggest fear. I am absolutely fine with bringing in someone to challenge Tyrod (hopefully a first round pick), but something tells me we're drafting a DE after we release Mario and I am fearful that we'll be seeing a premature extension.

You need an elite QB to win big in the NFL. No other way to slice it. And Tryhard Taylor is NOT the answer.
