TheFunPolice Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 In a word, the man is consistent. Look at his averages over 34 games here: 205 yards/game 1.26 TD/game .4 INT/game 2.86 sacks/game That is his stat line practically every week. in 2017 his numbers are: 182 yards/game 1.2 TD/game .4 INT/game 3.6 sacks/game Pretty much identical to what he has done over his entire 34 game span here. He is what he is, which is also a GOOD THING for trying to win games. McDermott knows what he is going to get and can plan around it. He knows he'll get 1 or 2 TD and 200 yards with a turnover every other week. Is it good enough to really win in this league? I don't think so. People point to the Chiefs and Alex Smith as a model. As good as the Chiefs are we all know what is going to happen when they play NE when the game really counts. Their career numbers are pretty close though (Smith and Taylor) although this season Smith is averaging about 100 yards a game more than Taylor, which is a career anomaly. So yea, it can get a LOT worse. If a QB like Tyrod (who doesn't put up the passing yards to keep you in games or catch up) turns it over more you're likely 1-4 or 0-5 right now. A guy like Tyrod has value as a solid backup long-term, but he is also a guy who has had just enough success to expect a starting role. It's too bad because he would be an amazing backup QB for the long-term guy. He's literally the definition of the perfect backup: consistent, takes care of the ball, good teammate, can get you a few wins without losing you games.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 182 yds per game in 2017 is just not good enough. You cant hit the qb, you cant touch the WRs, teams play fast and wide open. Just not good enough. We know what he is, we know what hes not....lets see the other guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Sorry. I'm tired of settling for a 182 yd per game manager. Mix in an occasional 4th qtr comeback. The TT era is over for me. Love to see Mason Rudolph compete with Peterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather him start 2018 than throw some rookie in with a young team, a line working on improving and lackluster WR's. I am a Tyrod fan, but we do need an upgrade at some point. I do see us drafting someone high, and then slowly bringing him along as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ditched him too soon and look how that cost us. Taylor is better than Fitz because he doesn't make the mistakes and can connect on the long ball to our 5.6 second 40 yard dash speedsters.

Figster Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) The problem with this assessment of Taylors play is the averages are caused by the lowest passing attempts in the league something of which is determined by the OC 's in the Bills run heavy O. Is the information accurate, sure, but the Bills also led the league in total rushing and average per attempt.

Love to see Mason Rudolph compete with Peterman. Absolutely! This is the guy I've been watching all season. Both Rudolph and Peterman have shown the ability to CHANGE the outcome of a game. That's the mental part of a QBs game you can't teach. They have it, Rosen has it, Darnold, Allen and Jackson... not so much. Taylor not at all.

( previous season ) the non volume driven stats arent any better. 2016 season he ranked: 19th in completion % 21st in yards per attempt 19th in yards per completion 18th in QB rating 25th in 4th quarter comebacks 27th in game winning drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no substitute for reps... Edited October 11, 2017 by Figster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
