He is being held to the same standard as Fitzpatrick, Manuel, Losman, Lewis and Edwards
All have tried and failed. If you want to make it more than that go ahead.
He exceeds everyone on that list in productivity. Fitzpatrick is the only one who comes close.

What are fans saying about Flacco, Bortles, and Hoyer this morning ?
And here we go...
Flacco since 2015, the year Taylor took over for Buffalo, has a record of 14-18 and has thrown twice as many interceptions as touchdowns this season. So Ravens fans' are probably saying "Flacco is regressing and is at the end of the road".
Bortles has never completed 60% of his passes since being drafted and has a losing career record. So Jaguars fans' are probably saying "If our 1st rd 3rd overall pick of Qb screws our season up because he can't hit his receivers 60% percent of the time he throws, I swear at season's end he's gator bait".
You could already see from the Seniors Bowl that the 9'ers probably had something good in CJ Beathard. Hoyer is completing under 60% too. So 49ers fans' are probably singing The Hallelujah Song with the switch at Qb from "Brian "Journeyman" Hoyer.
Tyrod Taylor has the higher Qb Rating of them all easily and the lower int% of them all this season.
6tds to 2 ints.
43 tds passing to 14 ints as of now for his career in Buffalo.
More importantly has Buffalo positioned to reclaim the top spot in the division with a win.
The fact that you just attempted to somehow group Taylor with these three Qb's who are struggling mightily for their respective teams, speaks to Taylor's point.

I'm not going to pretend that racism doesn't exist because obviously it does. Like Chris Rock said, "America to black people is the uncle that paid for your college education...but molested you when you were growing up." To deny the mistreatment of minorities in the US is to be delusional.
However, in this specific instance, I simply don't agree with Tyrod. I think he's making excuses for his poor play and thinking he's beyond criticism and the only reason he's hearing criticism must have something to do with factors that don't have to do with his play on the field.
And I also don't appreciate your generalizations. Isn't judging individuals based on the perception of the race as a whole the backbone of racism and prejudice to begin with? If you're against racism, then why would you be making such statements as "white people are very much a race-conscious people." Can we stop with the sweeping statements?
Would saying "Many white people of America are very race-conscious" make it more an accurate statement?
From what I read Taylor took blame for the parts of his play that he was fairly criticized for and was merely pointing out that there's less room for error, heightened scrutiny, and that being a black Qb factors in to how he is judged and the amount of leeway granted to him by the media and perhaps fans.
-
Last year it was the media's fault when he sucked. Now he's being held to higher standard because he's black ?
He almost makes as many excuses as the fanatical taylorheads here. Try not being at the bottom of qb ranking lists. Leave the race nonsense alone.
"Haters" disappear when you're actually good at your craft like Cam, Jameis, Watson, and Wilson.
Taylor is right.
You're trying to be slick by naming other more heralded black Qb's with better stats. Same thing applies to those Qb's also. The second they started to slip in production you'd flip on them too because race is always in the back of people's minds' in America because that's the way many white Americans who are the dominant people in America numbers-wise think.
America was built on the notion of racial inferiority and superiority; so why do people---especially white American people---pretend so much like this notion of racism still existing is a myth?
Or worst yet, that it only exists because black people keep 'giving life' to it by mentioning it.
White people are very much a race-conscious people.
What's the point in pretending?

Forget safety help...
Why was Greg Mabin promoted to the 53?
I felt like he was the goat.
PI penalty and he could've killed the Bengals drive singlehandedly at the end. Failed miserably yesterday.
-
He looks bad and lazy out there.
Get your fat ass in there and do better then.

O-line is a disgrace. Why sign Groy and start Ducasse?
Why is Mills in the NFL? If the wanted to rest Glenn until Tampa then why dress him this week?
Dawkins is much much worse than CK.
The run scheme blows too.
I find it extremely weird how when a lot of you guys speak badly about the O-line you manage to miss out on badmouthing Incognito.
C. Kouandjio was not garbage by the way. Was good pass blocking.
-
gotta deal with it - ain't changin'
You think it's solely health that's limiting his playing time?
No. I think the staff is trying to drive home the message to him that commitment to this new culture and production wins out.
I think that along with him not being a full go is why he isn't seeing more action.
60-40 Discipline -injury.
When fully healthy I think he's incorporated into the defense more and more. They've already driven home the message that it's all about production/commitment, nothing will just be given due to your big name, and that the team can win without you.
-
Think about what you just said.
Stop it.
It;'s the way of the NFL.
Feel free to clear things up for me.
-
Tyrod would
Never do this!
Yep.
And people still find reasons to not like him so...
-
Of course I would change my tune if Dareus turned things around and played with some heart like he use to. There is no sense in paying a guy 100 million dollars for ~20ish snaps a game. Especially when he doesn't do much of anything during those ~20ish snaps. He is the most well rested defensive tackle in the league and he makes zero plays.
My point exactly.
So how about waiting to see if he gets extended playing time when healthy and what he produces before completely turning on him?
-
Yup defense didn't miss a beat without him so why pay him 100 million dollars?
No but I did feel it would be far better than Rex Ryan. What does that have to do with Dareus... needless to say the great start has pretty much happened without him so again why tie up the cap resources?
Call the McD hiring? What does that have to do with Dareus.
I have plenty of room to be dismissive of a guy eating up cap space that has no ambition to play football.
I think they do to and all signs point to him not being on the team next season.
And how exactly did you determine that Dareus has zero ambition to play football?
Only reason I bring up the McDermott hiring is because I know that many of the people who are all onboard now with this 3-1 start, scoffed at the idea of hiring McDermott in favor of more notable options.
A lot of times people see the benefits in a thing only after it becomes very obvious.
Those calling for a Dareus-dump right now would likely change their tune with positive results from a healthy Dareus under the new regime, much like people have about McDermott and the team's direction after the 3-1 start.
Not saying this new regime doesn't continue to clean house and wash its hands clean of Dareus, but the calls for a talent like him to be traded as soon as a week from now without even seeing if he's gotten the message from the new guys is absolutely absurd and hasty.
-
Of course a sore ankle is no big deal to you because you're not standing on it. The defense hasn't missed a beat without him because he doesn't make the defense by himself.He had a sore ankle in week two. Big deal. We are on to week 5 and the D hasn't missed a beat without him.
I turn on high dollar players that don't perform. Yes getting suspended is part of it. Next suspension is 10 games minimum for him. Dareus has been a problem for every coaching staff this team has had. Isnt worth the cap space when you can spend the money on multiple players that play hard.
Did you even call for this great start at the beginning of the season?
Did you even call the McDermott hiring like I did?
If no, I don't think you have any room to be so dismissive of what Dareus has to offer to this team.
I think the coaching staff understands the talent he is better than you do.
-
You all are nuts if you think Dareus can't still wreck sh** on the field. I don't know where people get this "Dareus is lazy" crap from. He's very effective and is a huge asset on defense. He just needs to show professionalism and maturity when away from the field.
He hasn't been an asset on the field at all this year. Our defense has been dominant without him.
What?
He hasn't been healthy.
The defense becomes that much more of a problem with him. You don't let him go just like that. The sack totals will only increase with a healthy Dareus in the lineup.
You guys turn on talented players who run into a little trouble in a heartbeat even when they are contributors much like you'll lose faith in the team entirely after a loss until the next win.

I gave us no chance this week, had completely given up on Tyrod and thought our defense was a mirage.
I was wrong, chowing down on some crow and it never tasted so good.
Blah, blah, blah...

Yeah buddy! EJ Gaines looking better than Stephon Gilmore on the right and Tre'Davious White looking like he's coming into his own on the left.
NO TANK in the Bills vocab!
2-1!!! Let's keep it going.

There was absolutely no holding on Richie. And of course TT immediately morfs into stupidity. Throw the damn ball away. Now no fg...
You're either blind or simply just a liar. That was a hold on Incognito, just not a blatant one. Incognito also got bullrushed into Taylor for the sack. Incognito is the stupid one and he's also overrated.
-
There's your Bills tatted-up, tough guy, meathead, Richie Incognito killing the drive singlehandedly. I bet his BFF Eric Wood just allows him to walk off the field and back to the bench like it was no big deal.
-
Now I'm just not understanding this new regime.
Starting to think someone has a bad case of Chip Kellyitis.

Tough. We own his rights, he can sit another year.
We who? Lol

Not as upsetting as the J Williams cut.
What!?! They cut Jonathan Williams???

is he available? He is a gamer. Does his best at gametime so hard to judge in pre season. Worth a look...
Preseason is precisely where you judge him. Are you basing your he does "his best at gametime" comment from his Clemson games?
Just call it straight, the dude isn't an impact player or scary in the NFL regardless of his menacing, gonna-start-a-barroom-fight physical appearance that he established in college.

I doubt it, Alexander was mentioned as being one of the leaders McDermott was counting on to guide the younger players. But that would be a surprise.I think the surprise cut on saturday might be Lorenzo Alexander. I'm not sure he fits into the scheme McCoach wants to run. I haven't heard his name called at all in the three preseason games. Who do you think might be the surprise cut?
I'd say Logan Thomas because they talked so much about his upside.
A more shocking one that could happen, but I hope doesn't, is Nick O'Leary being cut.
Tyrod Taylor held to higher standard bc he's black ?

I remember you from the BBMB, don't know if you remember my write-up on how the Bills should consider drafting Nathan Peterman. In it I stated many things that I felt Peterman was better at now than Taylor. His accuracy being one, followed by his pocket poise, and ability to go through his progressions. I want Peterman to get his chance but only under the right circumstances, injury or complete falloff in production by the offense, because despite the things Taylor struggles at ---including his tendency to take the sack---he's still reliable. Not perfect, but reliable and capable of doing enough to win games.
As far as passing yards, his Y/A is higher than Hoyer's so he'd have more yards if he passed as often.
Blake Bortles threw 4 of those 8 TDs in a game, that as far as I'm concerned, is fixed to promote the game globally. I've held to this belief ever since the Bills-Jags London game from a few years back.
That's really been Bortles only good game this season.
