BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Taylor has a 58.7% com. this year. and a 6.4 ave per att. Td% is at 3.9%. All below last years mark. All below EJ career marks , Witch by the way EJ only has 16 starts. Shouldn't Taylor be getting better the more games he plays instead of the other way around.He has more starts than EJ.and is getting worse. Taylor had 9 fumbles last year on 14 starts. Ej has 10 fumbles on 16 starts. Ej has more int, but that is because he is more of a gamer than Taylor . If Taylor needs 24 yards on third down and he can't get with his legs, he will check down instead of taking a chance down field . Rivers has 6 fumbles already this year. He had Three int. Sunday. That s because to win games when your behind, you got to throw down field. Take chances and trust your arm. If you check down you are not going to win. Yes it makes your stats look good because your playing it safe. But your not winning games that way. Thats why we lead the league in 3 and outs. curious that you are willing to consider EJ's career numbers but not Tyrod's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 No. Â Just because the Taylor-led Bills couldn't handle the Brady-led pats doesn't mean that they can't handle the rest of the NFL. Â The Bills need to get healthy. Taylor needs his weapons back. He needs McCoy. He needs Watkins. He needs a healthy R. Woods and C. Clay. Â Then let's see what happens. Â Â Â Â Â How about the Fitz-led Jets? Or the Tannehill-led Dolphins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 As one of the few EJ fans left, he isn't starting. Too mistake prone but I definitely think he and Losman got judge a lot harsh than Tyrod. Â I really don't think EJ could put less points on the board Tyrod (he averaged more points in his starts than Tyrod did last year). Probably is that he might give them points (of course he tries throws TT will never try). Â It's Tyrod's year but besides taking care of the ball and his running ability, he is the same flawed qb we have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Ej came out in the S.F. game, and threw his only pass into the chest of a 49er. We were lucky that it wasn't a pick. EJ has all of the physical tools, but he has a 10 cent brain, and ***NO GUTS*** whatsoever. When he is not re-signed this off season, it will be addition by subtraction EJ seems like a real nice guy. I never want to see him in a Bills uniform again. He also led a td drive on his only drive against NE! Â And how doesn't he have guts? He took a knee shot against Cleveland when he could have run out of bounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Its one thing to criticize TT but try to argue EJ is better? I thought the OP was joking. EJ has never even been close to what was his best since the injury at Cleveland. His replacement stint last year was an embarrassment. I am surprised that he is still on this team.

apuszczalowski Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 BUT EJ LED THEM ON A COMEBACK AGAINST THE JAGS LAST YEAR IN LONDON Â Of course he put the team in that hole against a bottom feeder team, but he almost led them back for the win! He has to get another chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to get another chance! Tony Romo threw 5 ints and won a game. But he gets no credit for leading them back. Â I'm honestly at the point where I'd like to see more ints from Tyrod instead of this scared to throw the ball, high school passing "attack" we have.

Hanoverbills Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Â EJ turns the ball over more because he is a "gamer" . Lol. yes he is a gamer. I think he is. He showed me that in the game overseas. That game we were behind because of him, But he didn't get down on himself. He played good enough in the end to win that game. Took chances and threw down field. I know you are going to say well if he played better in the beginning ,we wouldn't been in that place begin with and you would be right. We came back and and the defense brought us the go ahead T.d. But if McCoy didn't fumble trying to score at the one in the second half, witch was a throw from E.J that would've won that game. You can't be mad at McCoy because he tried to score and it happen . That score could've won that game,Defense scored would,ve gave us two TD lead. Like Rivers yesterday threw 3 int. and still slinging down field. SD almost won there game. Our starting QB know checks down on third down if he can;t run for it, and then we fall behind on three and outs and tires our defense out . Hes not turning the ball over, but were not scoring either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I swear people don't really watch this team. Â And I know it's true when I read things like "this OL is a pass blocking disaster". Â Um, Taylor has the longest snap-to-release time in the NFL (for the 2nd year in a row by the way). He creates pressure by not stepping into the pocket and rolling away from it. Â That said, we've seen EJ and he isn't the answer either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you are ready to sacrifice the season already, then the ball should go to Cardale. I hope you are kidding. Cardale is no where near an NFL QB and, in my opinion, never will be. That was a wasted pick for the Bills. I can't name the last QB that came out of Ohio St that made it in the NFL as a QB.

dulles Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 If the Bills had a healthy Watkins, McCoy, Woods, etc and Tyrod was still struggling the way he has been, then I might also be on board with giving Manuel another shot. But putting EJ in there right now would accomplish nothing but create continuity problems, and do so with only a minimal chance of seeing any improvement in the offense. I think it's just too much risk without enough reward. As for Cardale, let's just say that he is nowhere near ready to manage an NFL offense, even one in it's simplest, most basic form. I think the Packers are an excellent example of what you are arguing. Lacking Jordie Nelson, AR looked progressively (relatively) poor. Lacking a good running game this year, he has also struggled at times. The talent around a QB matters. Buffalo was running with a preseason lineup out there at most skill positions.

Agreed, and I'd say it matters even more for a guy like Taylor. While Rodgers accuracy and uncanny field vision allows him to throw people open and raise the level of play of marginal skill players, I think Taylor is more reliant on having explosive playmakers around him to be effective. As EJ gets older his mind might slow down enough to allow him to become more adept with this than Taylor, but I don't think that time has arrived yet.
