A interesting take on Tyrod by Joe Redemann


Recommended Posts

I recall watching an interview with a Steelers O-lineman when Maddox got hurt and Big Ben was forced to play his rookie year. Basically the guy was saying how unhappy he was that they would be stuck with a rookie QB the rest of the season. The point is Taylor could be the next QB with the "IT" factor stuck behind a vet, or another non-franchise NFL QB, which most QB's are.

Exactly. I think at this point, an out of the box idea like Tyrod is great for the Bills. Give him a shot and let's see this preseason what he can do. He was a great college player and is an athletic freak. Stranger things have happened.

 

Best case scenario is he wins the job and you have another playmaker in your offense who is still young.

Correct. Our QB situation does not lend itself to journalist analysis. We just have to wait and see what happens on the field. I have no idea, truly, which of the 3 starts in September. Even odds on all three as they all have warts and positives. Cassel was lighting it up last year before he was hurt if he stays healthy Bridgewater never sees the field last year. EJ pretty much got screwed by Marrone trying to win a few extra games to build his resume. And Taylor is simply a complete unknown who has had 4 years of high quality coaching in Baltimore which in theory has cleared up the accuracy issues. Who the freak knows. He could be a Kapernick clone who now has great throwing mechanics . Who knows? We'll know in 90 days....

to be fair, comparing him to a guy that went 11th in the draft is about on par with the guys crazy analysis of TTs 27 pass attempts.

 

the odds are incredibly against him, while big ben was a coin flip to become a starter as a pick that high.

tyrod taylor will not be the bills starting qb.

 

that means when the bills string together a couple of losses in 2015, fans will seize the opportunity to assume his absence from the lineup confirms their ongoing suspicion: any coach in bills colors is thereby a bumbling lummox.

Honestly, would you be surprised? He's competing against a career back up....on the downside.....and another QB with question marks of his own.

 

Would this really surprise you?

 

Either you think TT is that bad or you're expecting something from the other two that no one else has seen.

TT will be lucky to have a career that matches the other two. its possible he surpasses them, but hes a late round pick on a cheap deal for a reason. hes not even getting chase daniel money, as a comp point of late pick backups that might get your attention but havent gotten a chance to play.

To add to what NoSaint says, there are many more indications that he's the dark horse.

 

EJ's the hope.

 

Cassel's the organization's worst-case-scenario (and he's a pretty good one at that).

 

And TT is being given an opportunity to wow. But indications are that the expectation level for him is low.

The writers analysis of the data is stupid becuase of the small sample size in the NFL. However I thank you every much for posting the site. This will be my 1st year doing daily fantasy sports and I need any resource avaiable to help me get off to a great start. It covers all the DFS sites as well which is great

Tyrod has started in like what, 1 game?

 

How can he even try comparing them statistically is beyond me. Awful article.

 

The thought of Buffalo getting a 'Willy Beamen' type QB--a Cinderella story late round drafted brotha who lights up the league makes me giddy.

 

In reality though-- these guys tend to put the ball on the carpet when they're up against NFL defenses. He'll have to dazzle the coaches with knowledge of the playbook and throwing accuracy to beat out EJ for number two.

I didn't think it was a bad article. There were valid points made. It is highly unlikely Tyrod is better than Cassel or Manuel. We can hope but there is no significant evidence for that hope. Where I do take issue with the article is the assumptions are based on such a small statistical sample it is pretty meaningless (his comments about accuracy issues in college hold far more weight). It's like saying a baseball player will be a bust if he hits .100 after 5 games. By the same token I think too many assumptions are made about Manuel. He just hasn't played enough games to conclude he cannot become a good QB. With Cassel we know what we have which is pretty much another average QB. So it is quite enticing to hope we hit the lottery with Tyrod or Manuel.

You know what's funny? People raked the Bills for not drafting a late round QB...you know, a Tyrod Taylor.

This was not a serious column or analysis. It was tabloid fodder loosely tied together with some flimsy, disconnected stats. Whatever is the opposite of "well thought out" is what this "article" should be called. Not sure if the OP was being serious, to be honest.
