I know most everyone has seen this over and over but I could watch it 100 times and it's just insane.

KTG that isnt Taylor. He never throws balls up to his playmakers. He isnt willing to take a hit to get a pass off.

He isnt willing to throw the ball to the te.

He isnt willing to not tuck it and run it...

I answered this one way yesterday, here's another.

 

So, does that make Matt Ryan a lousy QB?

 

Nah, Ryan's just overrated.

 

I actually thought all the talk last year about Ryan suddenly becoming an Elite QB was kinda ridiculous. That was the perfect example of a QB benefitting from an incredible OC. I said in the offseason I expected Ryan to take a pretty serious step backwards. So far, so true.

Under 300 yards offense the last 3 games and we are extolling this exciting juggernaut????

 

Do you really not get it? McDermott only wants Taylor to pass the football when the team is behind or tied. He's all about managing the clock and controlling the football and trusting his defense once the team gets the lead. I don't love it myself, but I get it. I think it's an easy concept to understand.

 

The Bills have actually been tied or ahead the majority of the time this year, and on the year, when the Bills have been either trailing or tied with the opposition, Taylor has thrown 74% of his passes (at a 69% completion %) for 77% of his yards and 80% of his TDs.

 

If you have a problem, it's with that particular philosophy. It's not on Taylor. When called upon, Taylor seems to be rising to the occasion in 2017.

In both those cases, those are interceptions if Clay doesn't make a fabulous play on the ball.

 

Again, Taylor sucked if not for Clay.

Ya know the thing that's kind of annoying? The thing he does in that 2nd throw is something that he's actually done pretty consistently as a passer. Taylor has no fear standing there knowing he's about to take a hit while delivering a beautiful pass. A lot of people on here and previously at BBMB have professed that Taylor, at the first sign of pressure, looks to run. What a buncha crap. That pass is a great example. The long pass to Clay (the WR) last week is another. Off the top of my head in the 1st Miami game last year Taylor threw a gorgeous TD bomb to Goodwin right before he got throttled by a free running Dolphin defender.

 

I'll admit that in a collapsing pocket it looks like sometimes Taylor looks like he'll occasionally feel the phantom pressure and escape, but part of me also wonders if he's just trying to move around in order to see WRs better.

 

But one thing's for sure, dude's not afraid to take a hit.

Its wasnt really a bunch of crap though. He has had issues the last 2 years bailing out of pockets early. The criticism was valid.

Take my whole comment in context.

 

I just said he can leave the pocket early at times, but he's a pass-first QB even when he's left the pocket.

I did take it into context. You called something a bunch of crap that was actually true.

I still see people "crediting" Taylor for throwing to the middle this season. It's just the offensive scheme. It determines where the ball gets thrown.

I don't know, on one hand I still don't think that Taylor is the (long term) answer in Buffalo. But he does have some unique ability that most other NFL QB's simply don't have.

 

Just wish the guy could hit some of these of the wide open throws that he seems to wildly overthrow. Almost like he is shell shocked when guys are so open and overthinks things.

wildy overthrown?

gif me please

i thought it was the other way about?

hard to keep up.

 

i need cheat sheet of which player to cheer for some weeks.

 

Is it okay to like Tyrod publicly, again?

but it wasn't about the fear of a hit

Bail and run? Not here. Going through progressions? Yep.

 

@YardsPerPass

Extremely nice pass protection here. TT with plenty of space to scan field. That room makes a huge difference

Notice how much better Tyrod (and every other QB in the league) is when he has great pass protection.

 

Bills season depends mostly on the performance of the offensive line assuming everybody else keeps playing the way they have.

 

With good protection, the passing game will improve as the season progresses - even with these same receivers. - my opinion

 

And some teams are very reluctant to blitz Tyrod already - if only that line could hold up regularly against a 3 or 4 man rush.

He always seems to be throwing off balance and he's bordering on throwing across his body a lot. I can't help but worry that will catch up to him.

I can't help but be thrilled with the TD. And it happened right in front of me, so it's that much better. We won, he graded out well, I'm good. He DOES get better with time and reps.
