No. You haven't paid attention to his appallingly giddy excitement at the prospect of Taylor failing and him being able to rub it in people's faces. I know what Crusher has said. But Crusher's basically Jekyll and Hyde... and Hyde is in control more than Jekyll. Okay Dr. Jekyll...

Orton was better than who? Taylor?

No, pretty clear that Crusher actively roots against Taylor. You may not have been on BBMB, but several of his posts made it pretty obvious he seriously wanted Taylor to fail. What's more, he wanted it largely so he could rub it in people's faces. I don't think he roots for the team to lose, but he's pretty obviously rooting for Taylor to fail, probably without realizing how that would actually hurt the team he's rooting for.

You made a statement about what very good QBs do, not me. By your definition, Rodgers isn't a "very good QB," much less the Elite one we all know he actually is. These were your (poorly chosen) words, not mine. I made no comparison... don't even know what you're asking...

There's a disturbing trend in these types of posts from you that might point to something more about you (and you wouldn't be alone) than Taylor. It's subtle, and not a road a football message board should go down... but it's still part of the dark underbelly of the most important position in today's NFL... Do your eyes tell you Aaron Rodgers is a very good QB? He's 2-39 in his career in executing 4th quarter comebacks against winning NFL teams... but he sucks...?

You are a sad little man...

Kinda interesting here that you're ultimately saying validity is more about perception than reality. I disagree with you there, but I get what you're saying. And why should you trust a stat he's created? You shouldn't 100%. Take it with your grain of salt. However, he put in the time I'm not about to put in by watching and breaking down every single NFL QB through his own subjective measures that he explains pretty thoughtfully and really makes an effort (albeit subjectively and therefore imprecisely) to quantify aspects of QB play while considering all the external factors. It's meaningful to a degree because with whatever "cherry-picking" he might be doing, he's doing it across the board for all QBs.

Since the Maclin thread was closed... what exactly...? The fact that you're rebooting this thread and this conversation is making me chuckle a bit...

Chuck's an Ass!!!

He's with the Ravens now... 185 pages on Decker now?

How the hell do you even keep up a 185 page conversation about a guy not even on the team? Amazing...

A couple tweets from Fahey yesterday in response to the Maclin pursuit: Taylor is recruiting Jeremy Maclin. 3.34% of Taylor's yards were created by receivers on off-target throws last year, 26th in league. Taylor's yards per attempt jumped 0.74 when adjusted for WR mistakes/created plays, third highest in league

Whoop whoop!!! I'd love this!!! ... unless we're now trading Watkins...

Good stuff... Like I said... consistency

What? Who's saying this?

What in the world...? Am I speaking Swahili or something? Both you and Bang summarized pretty much what I'm saying, though you're putting a negative tone on it while I guess I have a more optimistic outlook. Interesting... Ummm... then what are you even doing here? That's all we got at this point

... ? You're not a fan of the logic you pretty much entirely agree with...?

Of course if is an if is an if. Maybe it's big. Maybe it's doable. All I said was that if Taylor can more consistently be the QB he's shown he can be, he's going to be just fine. Uh... yeah... we won the Cincy game... your point...?

Even if the Miami game and Seattle game are Taylor's ceiling, if he can more consistently play to that level and have fewer games like Cincinnati and Baltimore, he'd be just fine. That Miami game was just a perfect storm of crap going against him after bringing the team down for the late go ahead TD.

Might've been a factor... sure was a piss poor performance nonetheless

All this time and I figured you would've finally been able to describe me, instead you describe yourself... A note: the word "delusional" on an internet discussion board is about as big an insult there is that's still generally acceptable in that you won't get an infraction for it. When you enter conversations calling people that immediately, you're picking a fight. That's you. I'm just the guy you picked a fight with who's not simply going to turn the other cheek. Maybe I should, but I'm human.

I'm sorry but this is super lame. It really is. You need to consider circumstances and context in a game that has so many other things influencing it than just the QB. Taylor passed what should have been the go ahead TD to Clay with less than 90 seconds in the game, then the return team allowed a 39 yard return, the defense promptly allows Matt Moore to get 25 more yards, then our dumbass HC can't call a TO to potentially ice the kicker. Then on the first OT drive Taylor helps the Bills get into the Red Zone with a chance to put the game away and you get -2 yards from McCoy on 1st down and one of the worst play calls ever by running a gimmick play to a guy who hardly saw the field all year because he's at the end of his career and he gets-8 yards. Oh yeah, and then our kicker missed a pretty easy FG by NFL standards giving the opposition good field position. Loss.

What are my true colors?

What? Dude... Dennison's most recent statements on the offense sounds like he wants Taylor in the pocket passing the ball making quick decisions... You're never going to like Taylor mainly because you don't like the type of QB he is. When you talk about "next step" it sure seems like you're talking about Taylor becoming a completely different QB rather than just a more consistent version of the very good QB he's flashed as at times. By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you're alone in that sentiment, either. Taylor is what he is in most ways, and that honestly might be a ceiling of the Seattle and 2nd Miami games this year. He just needs to be that version of himself more than twice a year and we need less (ideally none) of the Ravens or Bengals performances from this year.

All right everyone... hold the phone... can we hire Crusher as our OC instead of this bum Dennison who apparently "believes blindly" in the "exciting plays and physical tools" Taylor brings to the offense?! I mean c'mon man... let's get a real OC like Crusher, who has a more realistic view on Taylor rather than someone who's worked up close and personal with in the past...
