JESSEFEFFER Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 When Rex was going over the history of how he developed an interest in Tyrod Taylor he mentioned that he had gotten positive reviews from guys like Ed Reed and Ray Lewis. What was most interesting to me was the one he got from Cam Cameron after Cam had left the Ravens. Rex said he COULDN'T share what that opinion was which left me to wonder why. Since Flacco was not very good much of the 2012 regular season which probably lead to Cam's firing, I think his opinion may be along the lines of "Tyrod is better than Flacco and if it were my call, he'd have been the starter." NFL coaches are adverse to having their names attached to opinions like that because it could bite them in the butt down the road. Often we hear opinions with unnamed sources, whereas, in this case, we know the source but not the opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JESSEFEFFER Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 I thought the same thing when I heard the quote. Thanks for the serious reply. The best of the smart ass replies was the one about the wings but they certainly can add something extra to the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 He went on record as saying he was a "special player".. Regarding his Off the record sentiment, maybe he didn't click with flacco and wanted to promote Tyrod. Looking back he was canned in week 14 of their 2012 Super Bowl run.

devldog131 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Ground up and in the freezer? Thank you. I am, however, disappointed that it took 16 minutes for this reply to be posted. Have we already forgotten the epicness of the Mario hostage situation/FA visit thread? The two other acceptable responses would have been "F5" or "deers."

Webster Guy Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Cam Cameron's opinion was that Rex's mom should have named him Ry. Imagine Ry Ryan, Cam Cameron and Phillip Phillips as a vaudeville act. Now that's a HOF trio..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Yeah, after Cameron was axed (and replaced by zombie Jim Caldwell!!), Flacco led the Ravens to playoff wins over Indy, Denver, NE and a SB win over SF. If Cameron actually said "Tyrod is better than Flacco and if it were my call, he'd have been the starter", I'm sure Harbaugh is still chuckling over that. Apparently Cameron shared this as well: "I would never hire me as an OC in the NFL". Edited September 30, 2015 by Mr. WEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often we hear opinions with unnamed sources, whereas, in this case, we know the source but not the opinion. Your interpretation makes sense, despite the naysayers. But where does Rex say he can't repeat Cam's opinion? I had wondered why Rex was interested in TT in the first place. Inside information from former Raven players and coaches explains it.

JohnC Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Rex had no clue that TT was going to be as good as he has shown. When he interviewed for the job in front of Whaley and the Pegulas he told them anyone accepting this job has to realize that the franchise qb is not in place. He elaborated that if that is the case then the right approach to take is accept that fact and build your team up the best you can everywhere else. Did Cameron give Rex a positive recommendation on TT? Evidently so. I'm sure he told him that he had tools and that he was very diligent in his preparation. The Bills did not aggressively pursue TT. It was the other way around. TT sought out the best opportunity to compete for a starting job. The veteran qbs that the Bills sought out in the offseason were first, Josh McCown who wanted an extra year on a deal that Whaley refused to give, and then the Bills quickly signed Cassel as their fallback option. The reality is that TT selected the Bills more so than the Bills selected him because he felt that it was his best opportunity to play. We got lucky! It was far from being an insightful decision. Nothing wrong or shameful about accepting good fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
