I don’t think that’s fair. Tyrod isn’t good enough to lift an average team into the playoffs. But I don’t think he is the worst problem the Bills have throwing the football. Buffalo’s current group of five wide receivers – including two who primarily return kicks – is among the worst in the NFL (I’m trying to be kind). Critics were crying for Taylor to throw deep against Carolina. Throw deep to who? Sammy Watkins, or Robert Woods, or Chris Hogan, or Marquise Goodwin? They’re all gone. I suppose Taylor is on thin ice now. Everybody loves the backup quarterback. Maybe rookie Nathan Peterman could save the day. Hit the deep ball. Spread the field. Open up space for McCoy to run. I doubt it. What do you think? Are you eager to find out?" Edited September 18, 2017 by JM2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I'm waiting for the inevitable. Tyrod plays himself out of the starting roll after being set up to fail so McD and BB can draft their guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unfair that a millionaire who isn't good at his job is being blamed for being bad at his job? How awful. He could always, you know...play better.

JM2009 Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 Who was Brady's deep threat between moss and cooks? A decade of slot guys and 3 more superbowls later.... Comparing an average at best QB to the GOAT is pretty weak. I see deep threats on every good team in the NFL. Who was Brady's deep threat between moss and cooks? A decade of slot guys and 3 more superbowls later.... Hogan is a deep threat, by the way. we should have kept him. Who was Brady's deep threat between moss and cooks? A decade of slot guys and 3 more superbowls later.... And Brady never has had a WR corp as weak as ours is right now. Hopefully Jones , a rookie, will learn and get better.

What he does best is run with the football tucked under his arm. I see no evidence that the deep ball is something he does even well, let alone 'best'.

I see no evidence that the deep ball is something he does even well, let alone 'best'. Really? I think even his haters will admit his deep ball is very good. Him and Watkins were very dangerous the second half of 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could always, you know...play better. What does that have to do with his play? There are a great many guys with bigger contracts who are worth less than TT. You can blame a guy for not being good enough. You can't blame him for what he makes since it's the team that signing the check... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I don't buy the we don't have WRs to throw long to. ThRowing long is more than putting a track athlete out there and letting him out run the DB. Zay was able to get wide open 30 yards downfield. How long do you need? Speed isn't the only way to get a guy long open. You can also use trickery and send guys long when isolated on a LB. I see other teams do it.

MAJBobby Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 No matter what anyone thinks of him as a player, not fair to him. Maybe they should trade him and McCoy before the deadline. Ooo no its not fair we ask a 7 year vet, 3 year starter, multi millionaire play freaking QB. Not fair at all They took away what he does best-the deep ball. There is no deep threat left on this roster. Bottom five WR corp. Be a QB. Adapt and you know the the position better. It is east to chuck it up there and let your WR make a play. Alot harder to be a QB Also the reality is the no deep threat is an excuse There is more than enough speed with these WRs to take the top off Really? I think even his haters will admit his deep ball is very good. Him and Watkins were very dangerous the second half of 2015. And 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
