Good to see former teammates are rooting for him. Sounds like he was well liked and seems many thought he would be a starter one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It's a great sign to see the outward respect from former and current teammates, especially for a QB. It's so destructive when that isn't earned (see RG3, Geno, Cutler) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 That's pretty cool of all of those guys over there. One thing that a bunch of Bills players and coaches have said in the last couple months is that Tyrod is a very good leader and does very well in the huddle and everyone likes him. That's a plus. Tiny compared to facing a rush and a defense trying to confuse and murder you, but a nice little element in his favor nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 It is one thing to be a highly touted draft pick and the golden boy coming out of college It is something entirely different to be a player who grinds and works his ass off and gets respect of NFL veterans Tyrod Taylor is about to become a well known player.......

Doc Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Honestly, I'm surprised about they even remember who he is.. Four years as a backup QB there. And the backup QB is always the most popular guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Four years as a backup QB there. And the backup QB is always the most popular guy. amazing how people forget that. the backup QB, especially behind someone like Facco, Rodgers, Roethlisberger or Brady is best job to ever have, too.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Thank you Baltimore. We're available to look closely at any of your other players with experience (Graham) or potential (Taylor). Keep us happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Fan in MD Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Holy crap -- Joe Flacco uses apostrophes correctly in his Tweets! Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 I got kick out of this in the comments section: Harbaugh is full of crap. If he really believed that Tyrod could be a starter, he would have let him play. There were plenty of opportunites to give him time in the game, but Taylor never appeared. I think Tyrod actually regressed during his time here. Maybe it was mental. Maybe it was because of lack of playing time. Maybe it was lack of ability. Who knows? We will see when he steps behind center for Buffalo. I wouldn't count on him being the next Johnny Unitas That's rough. I'm glad Bills fans don't ever sound like that.

moshermw Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 DNR. All said, Schaub (effectively TT replacement as #2 QB) was abysmal vs. the Redskins on Saturday. Pre season is just pre season but TT lit that shvt up for four years after Flacco went out. Most Ravens fans correctly have no real thought on TT either way cuz Flacco never got hurt. They will have a thought on him when the Bills crush them at home in the divisional playoffs this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I posted this in the Tyrod as starter thread before I saw this one, so here's a re-post: ------------ I suppose I don't really follow this sort of thing league-wide, but wow, how cool is it that Tyrod's former teammates and coaches have been so vocal in congratulating him on his opportunity to start in Buffalo? This tells me a couple of things: 1 -- he's a great locker room guy and leader 2 -- he might be really, really good For a QB like Tyrod who was known more for his running than passing in college (despite some gaudy passing stats), there is no question he has benefited from being in a great organization like Baltimore for four years and learning the QB "craft" behind a steady performer like Flacco. It's actually the blueprint for how one would ideally like to develop a talented but raw QB. Sort of a tangent from this topic, I'd really like to see EJ sit for another year as the #2, and next summer we might see a "real" QB competition between two high level guys. Anyway, super excited to see what Tyrod brings to the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Nice of his old teammates to send him congrats and well wishes. It's a good sign that they thought well enough of him to do so. Taylor has some huge leaps to make in the coming weeks and months. Preseason to regular season, early regular season to the grind of midseason, to the intensity of a late season playoff push and finally to the pressure of playoffs. It'll be fun to watch him grow (I hope) and while it is a lot to ask of him, it could be a magical run if the Bills have caught lightning in a bottle with him.

Anyway, super excited to see what Tyrod brings to the regular season. It's never easy to say what the backup can do unless he has significant playing time. It was never the case where Flacco was hurt or ineffective enough that Taylor got enough playing time to give anyone a sample of what he can do. But considering every Ravens player was happy for him, it tells me he's a well-liked guy in the locker room and likely one that can be a leader. We know he has the talent. As for EJ, I don't know anymore. The intent is to have Taylor be the guy for the immediate future, so why would we want EJ to win the job back? I haven't seen the "it" factor that elite QBs have in EJ since his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
