Wayne Arnold Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) After finally watching a game, the mainstream sports media is finally understanding why McDermott pulled Taylor earlier in the season. https://twitter.com/RyanTalbotBills/status/950532481823985665 Edited January 9, 2018 by Wayne Arnold 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 He obviously hasn’t seen Trent Edwards play. Kornheiser gets paid to say “splashy” things. Tyrod’s not that bad. Not even close. He’s just not good. 11 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of fits Bortles too. He was a pathetic wreck in that first half. Once he started running he relaxed a bit and made a couple of throws that cause you to recall, all of a sudden, why some scouts loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Taylor is bad. But he still wasn't the worst passer in that game. Bortles couldn't hit his FB 8 yards away...and Romo tried to blame the wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bortles was a helluva lot worse passing the football yesterday. While Taylor's problem yesterday (and for his career) were the throws he chose not to throw, Bortles actually threw the ball a whole bunch but was just wildly inaccurate. But this thread will inevitably get a whole bunch of mileage from the posters who are just frothing at the mouth to pounce on him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Taylor has a great arm, but it stops there. He has no anticipation and holds the ball way too long. I would be absolutely stunned if he's a Buffalo Bill next season. I'd be happier naming Peterman the starter today and not drafting a qb than bringing back Tyrod for another year. 3 years is enough 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 A couple years ago, Tyrod would make one or two nice long passes every game. He doesn't anymore. It is a rare game where he completes a long pass.The touchdown pass to Nick O'Leary versus Miami was a rare occurrence and I'm guessing it was because O'Leary was so wide open. Most of the time the ball sails over everybody's head. I think it is because Tyrod is so afraid of throwing an interception. It used to be that he never attempted passes in the middle of the field. Now he does that, but his long passes always sail on him. The bottom line is there always seems to be an aspect of his game that is completely missing or at least sorely deficient. It's great that he can run, but it doesn't make up for the things he won't/can't do. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 The mainstream media doesn’t get it. When he was benched, the uproar! But now, 3 points in the playoffs, I hope we all get it. I like him, he’s tough, but it might be time to move on. 3 points is unacceptable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody currently on the Bills' roster has that level of ball tracking ability. Oh, that and Dennison also has a history of not calling the deep ball plays very often in games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is up there with Skip. More importantly, how he can watch that game and feel Tyrod was the worst passer in the game tells you all you need to know about Tony's opinion. Bortles wouldnt even be a good passer if he was playing in the XFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll grant you Watkins has plenty of speed and a knack for tracking balls, but I think the Bills completed a number of deep passes to other receivers in 2015. It is also true that Dennison favors a short passing game, but when deep passes are called, Tyrod is overthrowing them with remarkable consistency.

I hear ya...it just occurred to me, I’m sitting here watching college QBs make back shoulder throws, while Tyrod has yet to throw one in 7 years in the NFL...could have used that type of throw to KB in the end zone...his passing skills are mediocre even for college QBs...lol Edited January 9, 2018 by JaCrispy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even worse than Taylor. Did you tune in at the half? Yes, second half Blake threw some nice passes. But c'mon even Taylor...heck even Peterman all the way to Brian Brohm can complete an 8 yards pass to a fullback. Though Peterman might be reluctant to try that again ?
