Rico Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Looking back now, what a waste of time that was. While it's true that a lot of high-profile players were out back then, TT should've gotten a lot more work. Rex should've named him the starter Day 1, that's who he wanted. I think the additional experience with this O could've made a difference in at least 1 of the losses this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 He was not the clear cut starter day 1. Several days Manuel had better practices and even a preseason game. Roman's offense did not show to be that ideal for Taylor, as it was complex and intricate. Â Cassel could have easily been the starter for this team had we not been able to pass the ball successfully down the field and needed a game manager. Manuel could have been the QB is we showed a less mobile line and just need a QB to chuck it or hand off. But, we got Taylor throwing it all over the field and successfully playing QB.

justnzane Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Day 2, I was at SJF and thought that TT was the man and that meh was being outperformed by EJ. In the end, it would have been advantageous to have given the job to TT earlier, but it was also wise to make a competition for the job to show that every man needs to earn his keep.

At the very least though, I would've named him starter before the 1st pre-season game and played him all 1st-halfs + 3rd Q of game 3 & given him all the 1st-team reps from that point.

Coach Tuesday Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is an odd theory. Who's to say the competition didn't make Tyrod better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is an odd theory. Who's to say the competition didn't make Tyrod better? It may have... a lot of it is hindsight now, considering how bad the other 2 QBs have looked in the regular season in comparison... plus I think/hope TT is on the verge of turning the corner, he may have turned it sooner.

MarkyMannn Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 . plus I think/hope TT is on the verge of turning the corner, he may have turned it sooner. Â I think TT has much more upside and potential than any QB since RJ and JP (Yech I know). At the very least when he is out there as a fan you have the confidence that he can make something happen good. To your point Rico, more time and rep's can only help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Right, he should have named EJ the starter on day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I do understand what Rico is saying.....the more reps Tyrod gets in camp the better he is gonna get.... Â To me that is for next year...there is something to be said about a starting QB EARN his spot.....it allows him to get the respect of his teamates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This is an odd theory. Who's to say the competition didn't make Tyrod better? Â Â Because it's not really a competition. Sitting down and getting fewer reps never makes you better. A QB can't get better just because he really wants to be the starter. He gets better with repetition.

Coach Tuesday Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 But how could they possibly have just handed Taylor the reigns? If anyone knew he was going to be this good, he would've been much more sought-after than he was. He was an unknown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rstencel Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 So your saying they should have just skipped the competition and had Meh starting from beginning? Can see saying being decided earlier, but no way Taylor wins it without a competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
