Bleed Bills Blue Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Impressive observations, amazingly spot on. The Bills need to add this writer to their scouting staff. Maybe he can help find our next 15-year starting qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Never gonna be a pro bowler?! WRONG! In all seriousness, he needs to work on pocket awareness. To say he can't do that isn't really true... he just needs to make it a major focus. Use the whole field. He's taller than a few guys who ar very successful, what do they do?

Read defenses presnap, adjust the play based upon what they see, hit the right receiver at the right time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helpmenow Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 In all sincerity, have you ever seen a more elusive QB ever, with the exception of Michael Vick? Tarkenton and flutie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 This is uncanny. Although if he doesn't have elite mobility, I don't know who does. I thought the same. I mean people should be critical of TT if they choose to, but I have seen him make a few plays because of his legs that nobody else could make.

jr1 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 who's going to want to come here after the QB gets run out of town the year after being in the Pro Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) who's going to want to come here after the QB gets run out of town the year after being in the Pro Bowl? The NFL is a business to most players nowadays. So someone will see we have Sammy Watkins and McCoy and the best running game in the league and think it will make it for an easy job. Heck I'd imagine the sole reason Tyrod picked us over Denver was he saw he had a chance to start here sooner than later and in turn get a chance at a bigger pay day.

Seasons1992 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 You weren't kidding. That was dead on and reaffirms what my eyes show me every Sunday and that is: we have a really good backup QB as our starter. We've HAD a really good backup QB as our starter since 2005, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Someone should post a scouting report of our defense and see what it says. And then add up the $$$ thats tied into the defense and formulate a value based on production for that unit. TGIF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quinnearlysghost88 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 He’s definitely got potential, but at this point he’s a lot closer to a 3rd round prospect than a 1strounder in my opinion. I don’t think he processes information quickly enough to be a top college quarterback and eventual quality NFL starter, and unless his head catches up with his arm and his body he’s going to be a physically gifted quarterback who never put it together from the mental aspect of the game. Until he proves that his football IQ has improved and that he can read defenses well I’m not going to grade him in the top 64 picks EJ Manuel. Nailed it.

MAJBobby Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Guessing it is a college scouting report that shows zero to limited growth over 5 years. Hmmmm posted similar around week 6 and was killed for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The lack of "anticipation" throws is what prevents most guys from being elite NFL QBs. That has been my biggest critique of Tyrod; I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt with all of the WR injuries but it seems that this is just the type of QB he is. He needs to see guys open before he pulls the trigger. I've moved on from Tyrod and this season. Now I'm intrigued by the development of Cardale.

BuffaloBud Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) I read this sentence and it speaks volumes - I don’t think he will ever be a pro-bowler, but I think he could be a solid game-manager that could extend drives with his legs and maybe make a playoff run if he has a good enough supporting cast and defense. Other than McCoy and Watkins for a couple of games, what has TT had with respect to weapons? Woods, Goodwin, Hunter, Powell, Clay, etc. That group would have a hard time making many rosters. Another thing to point out here. This is TT first full year as a starter. Give him some time. Automatic SB winners / HofF inductees do not coming knocking on your doorstep. Also, now we seem to have an OC that can put some type of a game plan together. Put some true weapons around him, get him some time to grow and I think we would be surprised at what everyone is panicking over right now. My 2 cents - out. EDIT: I stand corrected - I got my timing sequence off. TT did play a full year last year. He was out 2 games due to injury.

NoSaint Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 These positives are no longer true, if they ever were: "His accuracy has come a long way on other throws as well, plus he has shown more willingness to scan the field, step up in the pocket to buy more time to find a throwing lane, and his decision making has really matured thanks to his vast amount of starting experience. His pocket poise has developed a lot and overall he is a much more fundamentally sound player now that he has been starting for so long." These are "better than he was" statements, not "he is excellent/elite" statements Thing is with guys that play a ton in college - if they don't have the fundamentals as a strength after a ton of reps it's often tough to re-learn them at the next level.

The same statement the Bills fans have made about every QB over the past 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
