  1. 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.
  2. 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...
  3. He's with the Ravens now... 185 pages on Decker now?
  4. How the hell do you even keep up a 185 page conversation about a guy not even on the team? Amazing...
  5. 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
  6. Whoop whoop!!! I'd love this!!! ... unless we're now trading Watkins...
  7. 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
  8. ... ? You're not a fan of the logic you pretty much entirely agree with...?
  9. 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...?
  10. 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.
  11. Might've been a factor... sure was a piss poor performance nonetheless
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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...
  16. Wow... what a stark contrast from Bang's post right above yours, which respectfully acknowledges disagreement. You, instead, choose to continue being a tool. So disappointing, though not unexpected.
  17. Nothin but love here from me... Bang and I are old friends Fair enough. I've explained plenty of times why I disagree so I won't beat that horse again today
  18. At 22, which is essentially in line with his Passer Rating. Total Qbr tries to measure more than just completion %, YPA and TD/INT ratio though. I think it's too early to say for Mariota and Winston. They're about the same length into their careers as NFL starters as Taylor and we just need more time to determine what they really are, similar to Taylor. Though I'll say that I really like Mariota a LOT and strongly advocated trading up to get him in the draft. Those other, more established guys, no, Taylor's not better, but that doesn't mean he won't be.
  19. Old School is a pretty obvious and clear anTy guy. Based on the poster, sure seems like he thinks those numbers reflect negatively on Taylor. I'll gladly apologize about what I said if Old School comes to explain what he believes he's enlightening us with by revealing those numbers and it's something not negative, though Now you're being a douche... Boo!
  20. RB impersonating a QB... Good God... Crusher at his finest... or worst...
  21. You're making it seem like that's horrible when it's not, especially given the low attempts and, therefore, the higher efficiency on those throws. Also the fact that both of those guys played multiple games with, at times, near debilitating injuries.
