transplantbillsfan Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 For months, we've heard... "You can't win with Tyrod!" "Tyrod is one of the worst QBs in the league!" "The Bills could never be a serious contender with Tyrod!" But then we made the playoffs for the first time this millennium. And after watching warranted frequent punchline Blake Bortles over the weekend be fortunate enough to be on a team talented enough to beat an all-time great like Ben Roethlisberger, who threw for more than double the yards and 5 times the TDs as Bortles, I really think that stuff can end now. If even Blake Bortles is capable of making an AFC Championship and Tyrod made the playoffs when countless people didn't even give him a shot at being a QB leading a team to the playoffs, then perhaps the world won't end if McDermott and Beane decide to keep Taylor for one more year to make a playoff run. PS: This thread is largely tongue in cheek. Some are about to absolutely flip out. Some will "get it." Truth be told, we're drafting a QB in the 1st, as we should. Taylor might be traded as part of a package to move up. but I think he's more likely a Bill than not. But Taylor really is better than Bortles, the King of Garbage Time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally agree with you about the bold. However, Jacksonville specifically, and watching the last 2 weeks, the Bills lost because the offense, and passing game in particular left plays out on the field. Pittsburgh lost because they capitalized the Jags capitalized on Pittsburgh’s weakness on D. Buffalo’s offense is firmly to blame for that loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again and again you hear the same arguments against you. Because they make sense. And yet when it comes time for you to try to paraphrase, you're off in fantasyland making up straw men. Again and again. Virtually nobody said, "You can't win with Tyrod." It was obvious you could. The last three years we've won games. Not a ton but some. A very slight majority of the games he's started. Of course you can win with Tyrod. There were a few trolls who said, "Tyrod is one of the worst QBs in the league.!" Nobody else. Every non-troll here understands that he's one of the top 32 QBs in the league. No non-trolls on here would have the faintest problem finding twenty-five backup QBs that anyone would know Tyrod is a great deal better than. As usual it's better to make up stupid arguments to put in people's mouths, as they're easy to counter than to counter the actual good arguments about Tyrod and franchise QBs. Such as, "Having a franchise QB gives you a chance to be competitive for championships for a decade or more." Such as, "Tyrod can get you to the playoffs, as can nearly any QB with a little luck, but Tyrod doesn't get you a championship unless you have a surrounding team virtually without weaknesses, a defense comparable with defenses like the Ravens defense the year they won with or the Bears the year they won with Dilfer or the Bears the year they won with McMahon, or Tampa Bay's championship. And in any case, Bortles is in the same neighborhood as Taylor. Tyrod may be better by a whisker. But Bortles is in his fourth year and still improving at a pretty good rate. Whereas going on his eighth year, we've known Tyrod's ceiling for a while now. Not so with Bortles. Bortles' fourth year has been significantly better, for instance, than Eli Manning's had played in any of his first four years. Nor has Bortles himself made a Super Bowl yet, much less made his team consistent for championships over a long period of time. Bortles might be at his ceiling now. Or he might get a lot better next year. But we know Tyrod won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) I took the bait. Then I jumped off the hook. At this point the season has played out. I don't want to butt heads with people over Tyrod. I've given my opinion and my prediction on his future and now its just gonna sound like a broken record. Part of me wants you to understand that it doesn't look good for Taylor. Part of me admires you defending a Buffalo Bill when people trash him. Tyrod let me down in Jacksonville. All he had to do was drive down the field for two touchdowns and I'd be on here praising Tyrod like I was the founder of the COT.

Nihilarian Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 While I get what this thread was started for... I can't help but chime in a bit. Big Ben threw for 37 of 58 for 469 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT and STILL LOST! I hear the spin doctors talking about changing the offensive scheme when clearly it was the Steeler defense that let the team down. Bortles OTOH had a near perfect game in which he went 14 of 26 for 214, 1 TD. Very Tyrod like numbers. Although the final score was 45-42 you could see the Jags defense which got the two turnovers were the better defense this day. Bortles may suck but he seemed to do just enough to win against Buffalo and Pittsburgh. Now, will he have an even more perfect game against the Patriots because he will need to actually compete against Brady in a sense that he will likely need to pass the ball and throw a few TDs with no turnovers again?
