True... but play calling sure can make a world of difference... Throwing a high percentage 3 yard pass on 3rd and 2 rather than a 30 yard pass you might also feel confident in is the biggest difference between Lynn and Roman... PS: Hello

????????

Not when Taylor was running Lynn's offense for 13. In those 13 games the Bills were middle of the league in both TOP and 3 & out %

Yes. A system like that (almost exactly what PFF operates) would be better, but as imperfect as it is, it's not to be completely dismissed... and it's also notable that PFF's system, much like the one you just mentioned, graded Taylor out as a pretty good QB, too.

It's not an ironic post unless Peterman becomes something in the NFL the way Taylor did. Taylor is one of the very few exceptions, not the rule... And I love that someone will inevitably think that I just called Taylor a great QB or something when I said nothing of the sort. Nope. Not what I'm saying. Amazing that you got that from what I said... and sad... mostly sad...

Handful of times...? Bruh... how many fingers you got on those hands. And guaranteed both the strength and nature of my feelings about Taylor have been misconstrued. If you don't believe me, tell me what you think everyone thinks and I'll tell you if you're right Glad you found the next Great White Hope... Watch out... Jones sounds like he's coming on...

May I ask why you bother? Your creepy stalking criticism of any of my commentary and effort to tie it back to a misconstrued obsession with Taylor you think I have is just as sad as the misconstrued obsession you think I have. Besides, truth doesn't change based on who says it...

48 pages and counting for a 5th round draft pick who has his work cut out just to make the team... amazing...

I think you're thinking we're on a different page when we aren't...

I agree, but those guys were successful in spite of their height, not because of it. Taylor is above 6 feet, so not a major issue. Did I latch? I made one comment and within it I said it could mean something or could mean nothing. Your hatred for Taylor seriously makes it virtually impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you about him. Well this is just offensive... really offensive...

And something that I thought was interesting... could mean little or could mean a lot. last week Taylor said this: this offense allows us to spread the ball around Did Roman and Lynn NOT let him spread it around? Was there a subtle jab at the offenses he played in the last two years?

Yes, height's a problem. Deeper drops might help. Maybe Dennison is going to make him move around within the pocket more rather than bootlegging outside the pocket.

I heard the interview on the Ryan Ruscillo show with the guy who wrote it. It seriously sounds like there are severe issues in that locker room in general.

What I think is interesting about those numbers in the article in particular is that there's something for both sides of the Taylor camp to agree on... On one side, Taylor breaks the pocket too often; and although some of those were warranted, others weren't. He did this at the highest percentage in the league at about 1% more than Aaron Rodgers, the next highest guy. On the other side, if Taylor can work on staying in the pocket a bit longer or a bit more, he's a pretty good pocket passer. That's really what I've seen in Taylor, too. Hopefully Dennison is really working with him on this.

I'm trying to abide by the generally frowned upon practice of starting any new QB threads, but I think people might be interested in this article posted a couple hours ago: Taylor's % of dropbacks where he broke the pocket and his numbers in and out of the pocket https://www.google.com/amp/www.buffalorumblings.com/platform/amp/2017/5/25/15689906/tyrod-taylor-buffalo-bills-in-pocket-passing-statistics

Well said. Pretty well captures how I feel this went down

Solid post. Pretty much the way I feel on the subject, too.

It's personal to call someone a hypocrite when they're being a hypocrite? Being a hypocrite is pretty easily, objectively, and clearly defined. It's not like calling someone an "idiot" or a "douchebag." He was clearly being a hypocrite. You have a weird definition of things "getting personal." Are you upset because I used the word "friggin?"

Where was I name calling? I don't think I've made this personal in any manner. I've just been talking about the issue and expressing my views. I think you're confusing pointing out incredible fallacies or ironies as a "personal attack," when it's nothing of the sort.

Wow... 2 days this thread was dying and you decide to bump it with this? Seems weird to me... almost like you want to keep this discussion going Not heated. Just hilarious how hypocritical some of the most adamantly and vocally critical posters are.

Nope, just pointing out pretty simple irony. An argument can't be right in one instance and wrong in another when it's the exact same argument. Continue with your vapid posts though.

Funny that "he said it, was he lying?" is an argument when it works but otherwise, it's "coach speak." MMQB: Is Buffalos quarterback of the future on the roster now? McDermott: He is, in Tyrod Taylor. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/05/15/buffalo-bills-sean-mcdermott-brandon-beane-nfl-peter-king?xid=socialflow_twitter_si

Yeah... darn fancy stats... only thing that matters for QBs are Wins and Losses!!!

Dude, was this even necessary...? Don't watch it, then. Why be so disrespectful? Anything can happen, but sounds like Taylor's the QB this year barring injury based on what we're hearing from McDermott, Dennison, and the players. So in reality Taylor's already been handed the job in that it's his to lose. Isn't that the case with most QBs? He's been handed the job but it's possible for him to lose it. Not all that different from most NFL QBs out there. Strongly disagree. Ball placement isn't really a problem for Taylor. It's anticipation and trusting his WRs he needs to get better at. But when he decides to throw a ball to a certain spot it gets to that spot more often than not.

In perception, yes I think he does. No one really talks about the Patriots D being the critical factor in that Super Bowl win or how awful Brady was for much of the game. It's what Brady did at the end to help them win that matters.
