QB Bills Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Full disclosure...I'm a Tyrod fan. I think he has what it takes to be a winning QB. But I also thought that about Trent Edwards, so take that with a grain of salt. Having said that, I was going through some of last year's games and remembered this toss from week 2. Unless it was a fluke, it gives me hope that I'm right. Not many players can do this while on the move. He had a bunch of perfect deep passes too, but this one had a harder degree of difficulty, considering the defense was sitting on it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnTAiCZOW88 Edited June 3, 2016 by QB Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasons1992 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Definitely a good one. #7 in Atlanta could flick it like that back in the day also and have the same skillset with the legs. I believe TT is smarter by a lot and hopefully the skills and the brains combine to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 To me I consider his best throws to be the ones people say he cannot make...... i love the deep stuff....his sidline stuff is pretty good to....but I loved he when he would hit a over the middle pass to a receiver or running back in stride....but it gave me glimpses of what Tyrod COULD become.

thebandit27 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 For me, this was Tyrod's best throw of the season: https://mobile.twitter.com/NFL/status/673582194539945984?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Followed closely by the TD pass to Karlos Williams in the first Jets game--simply because of the anticipation and ball placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'm a Tyrod fan too, but even EJ uncorked a few beauties now and again. The mark of the professional is consistency. Tyrod needs to prove he can make more throws more accurately more of the time. But he has already shown good progress and I think that will continue this year, even if opposing defenses have more tape of his work and tendencies. He should get a little more comfortable and better all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boater Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I watched a few videos.. to refresh my June memory of last season. Some good throws... some excellent runs. Tyrod is good. Potentially great. Potentially the keyword. He is unproven in the franchise category (I hate that cliche, but it did work here). Having said that... I'm OK with the Bills not extending his contract. Two discounts are: the hometown discount the "I'm a rising player, and you can sign me for less than my future value today" I don't believe Tyrod is offering either discount.

mountainwampus Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 My favorite memories of Tyrod were @ Miami. He only threw it 12 times, but he seemed to be faking out the entire D with such ease, rolling out so quick, calmly setting his feet with rushers in his face, hitting Clay wide open setting up big time YAC. I see Vick 2.0, with touch and instincts like Flutie flakes and he becomes Russell Wilson when he escaping the pocket. If we don't pay him now, we may not be able to afford him. Being his second year with all the same faces on O (cept Hogan) he will light it up. Whaley should be sweating. He needs to figure something out soon or Tyrod could end up with Brock money, somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh I truly hope so. I really and truly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 We can afford him next year if he has a breakout year. Reports from camp although very premature, are that he's come across commanding in the huddle and of the offense. Also, that he has been throwing with decisiveness and accuracy over the middle. We'll see when we get to pre-season games, and eventually September. I certainly hope he is our guy. On a separate note, NFLR was breaking down Nick Foles and his $6 mil bonus is already paid by the Rams, so he basically would cost $1.75 mil to have his services for a probable 7th round pick. I'd take him over EJ in a heartbeat, and can EJ now. I read EJ just looks awful out there in OTA's. Again, it's early, but I want that guy gone before we have to rely on him for another Jags game.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Every QB in the NFL can make a great throw. Every darn one. As another poster mentioned it's the consistency factor that makes a QB go from back up to hall of fame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Hurt Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 If we don't pay him now, we may not be able to afford him. This line of thinking got us in trouble many many times! We have got to stop this. Ralph wasn't as cheap as some of the fans here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 This line of thinking got us in trouble many many times! We have got to stop this. Ralph wasn't as cheap as some of the fans here. The floor for his contract is $18M and the ceiling is about $20-21M. Not worth rushing to sign him now when it's just a matter of $2-3M more a season and $4-6M more guaranteed.

bmur66 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Definitely some nice passes. As long as he can stay healthy I think we got us a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I am a Taylor fan and am excited to see him progress. But let't not confuse passing with quarterbacking. It's great he has a cannon and can make amazing things happen with his legs, but when he can get us in better plays or out of worse plays at the LOS the majority of the time, then I will say we have our franchise QB. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod from his attitude believes he gave the discount already since he took contract which paid less that he was offered as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
