Domdab99 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) He proved it last night. There is no QB in the league who could've done better that TT did last night. Constant pressure, a sieve of an OL...but he kept it calm and cool and did what he could. Hit every damn receiver he had all over the field. If anyone ever again says he can't throw over the middle, you need to turn in your Bills card. The running game was awful. His receiver dropped balls and fumbled. He had three monsters in his face hitting him within 2 seconds of just about ever play. He still fought and still had a good game. I know it sounds strange after such a drubbing, but this may be the game that we look back on and point to when we say, "Tyrod is finally the Man." Embarrassing loss, yes. But don't blame Tyrod. He played great. Edited November 3, 2017 by Domdab99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 No he is not. 7 sacks because hes too gunshy to pull the trigger at the end of his dropback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm on the boat that says he's well above average and good enough to be your QB on a super bowl winning team. I'm not really sure what "franchise qb" really means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW95 - JA17 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 His best passes came in garbage time. He's got no anticipation. Receiver makes eye contact for 2 seconds then he releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Jury is still out, I'm not going to pile on him because of last night. But if the wheels come off in the next few games he'll be part of the reason why. As for a real franchise QB, still think we have one developing on the bench right now but he's obviously not going to play this year unless Taylor gets hurt or is truly terrible in the next few games.

I do like Tyrod because it is refreshing to see a QB who is actually competent for the Bills, but he is not a franchise QB.

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Some people would rather have Tyrod pull the trigger before routes develop and risk an INT than take a sack.

Kirby Jackson Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Im in the jurys out group with a slight lean towards yes. Hes as good as a lot of the QBs in the league and gives his team a chance unless they are awful (see last night). He has some shortcomings but outside of 2 or 3 guys everyone does.

paulbills Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 15-20 for over 100 yards and a TD before the wheels came off this team Sounds like an average Tyrod game, less than 200 yds passing, 1 TD and less than 30 attempts, you're telling me his best came before garbage time when we only put up 7 pts in 3 quarters and not 14 in the 4th?

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Wow. Is not obvious to you Throw the ball away. Except on most of the sacks he didn't even have time to do that. This is not a game to bash TT after. I am not a huge fan, but to evaluate his ability to play in a dumpster fire game is unfair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Tyrod is NOT a franchise QB. He is an acergae QB at best. Hope the FO has a good plan for the QB situation next year. Either draft or go for a guy like Cousins or a crazy trade like Cam Newton or Andrew Luck. We have to do Something because Tyrod is NOT the answer.

xRUSHx Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Haha, franchise QB? Sure the Bills thing to do is resign him to a higher contract then when this staff gets fired for no playoffs we can continue paying him when the next staff dumps him. Wash repeat Maybe someday we will draft a franchise worthy QB until then we still have no end in sight trying to find a franchise worthy QB because Tyrod is no different then Fitz or Trent, got the stats but when needed can't get enough done to get the wins.

Woodman19 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I'm off the opinion that there are only ever maybe 3-5 "franchise QB's" in the league at any one time and they are the elite of the elite. I find people like to equate every starting QB as a franchise guy similar to how in baseball every team has an "ace" but very few are actually what you would call an ace.

Almost every post from you is wrong. You may have the least accurate takes on this entire board. If you can look at the last year and a half and say that Cam is a franchise QB now but Tyrod cant be you arent paying attention. You lie but numbers dont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that Newton has been playing sub average of late, and I'm not saying Taylor doesn't protect the ball well. It's one of his best attributes. But contextually speaking there are QBs responsible for a significantly heavier load of their offense, and the various throws/decisions and resultant turnovers that such responsibility entails.

Alphadawg7 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 No he is not. 7 sacks because hes too gunshy to pull the trigger at the end of his dropback. This statement alone either shows you cant move past your biased hatred or you actually dont understand football. To put the 7 sacks on him is beyond stupid. Our OL was DOMINATED last night, and its not even debatable. TT took a lot of big hits standing in there and delivering the ball too beyond the 7 sacks. In fact, if not for TT there probably would have been 12 sacks. Sure, a couple of them didnt happen right after the snap, but to throw your guys also have to be open, so not even fair to just default to its TT fault without first looking if he had anywhere to go with the ball.

Cam is absolutely less efficient but isnt much different in terms of the gross stats on the positive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
