Dibs Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Shhhh! You're destroying the standard myth that a QB who runs must get killed, uh, because he's a QB I guess. Tyrod is a good bit bigger than Thurman Thomas. I recall Thurman running a lot too. And not getting killed. I think it isn't necessarily must get killed.....but is very likely will get killed at some point. And not because they are a QB....but because they run. At the moment, our first 5 RBs are out with injury. RBs are regularly getting injured. It just stands to reason that if your QB takes off and runs like a RB regularly, then missing time due to injury is inevitable.....unless they have that rare ability(luck?) that some of the great RBs have had in avoiding injuries through their careers.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Well of course who knows. But at the combine TT was weighed at 6' 1" 217. Do you think he is significantly less than 215? It's very possible that Fred is 220 or 225 by now. But 215 is not small for a RB it's average size. It's the 6'1" part I doubt. Taylor is 6'1" if he's been sleeping on a board and he rises up on his tippytoes - maybe I mean, look at the pic LABillsFan posted of Taylor with Kaep. Kaep is listed as 6'4", do you think Taylor is only 3" shorter? Looks like more to me. I think it isn't necessarily must get killed.....but is very likely will get killed at some point. And not because they are a QB....but because they run. At the moment, our first 5 RBs are out with injury. RBs are regularly getting injured. It just stands to reason that if your QB takes off and runs like a RB regularly, then missing time due to injury is inevitable.....unless they have that rare ability(luck?) that some of the great RBs have had in avoiding injuries through their careers. Yep, and there's the point that a RB has to hang onto the ball and move his legs - he can do his thang if he's dinged a bit. A QB, on the other hand - bruised ribs and so forth can play hell with his throwing motion. He might actually be 6'1. Here he is next to Woods before the Bills left for Cleveland yesterday. Woods is listed as 6'0", I'll believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshermw Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Just Googled,"Tyrod Taylor injury history". Didn't really need to - watched him play the same style at VT - umm, nothing came up aside from a concussion check once with the Ravens - negative. Dudes a tough guy and a winner. Give it a rest.

PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 and what exactly has he won?What kind of stupid question is that? What is a backup supposed to win? He won a roster spot for. 4 years. He won the respect of some name coaches. What did you want. A ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 He's pretty big. I need to see him standing next to Vincent Jackson in a suit before I can judge. Kinda like we did with Von Miller. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 He's no Johnny Football, is he. I'm just wondering why'd you disparage someone who doesn't think Tyrod has proven himself a winner, unless you think he has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) I'm just wondering why'd you disparage someone who doesn't think Tyrod has proven himself a winner, unless you think he has? Because saying "Has he won anything?" is a dumb thing to ask. What is he supposed to win? A national college championship? A Heisman? A Super Bowl? Obviously winning the first two mean nothing in the NFL, and someone who started and won a Super Bowl isn't going to be a free agent unless they are old and washed up. So again, I ask what is that question supposed to be other than mindless snark? Edited August 23, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moshermw Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 and what exactly has he won? All the VT QB records. An ACC Championship game head to head vs. EJ. An Orange Bowl. The Flacco backup job for four years. Rex's desire to bring him to the Jets and Bills, Kubiak's desire to bring him to Denver behind P. Manning. All this without injury.

If you read the post he was responding to, rather than racing to disparage him, you would see he asked that question because someone else called him a winner. But you had to get a couple shots in before following the conversation. Nice. Edited August 23, 2015 by FireChan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
