I hope last weekend finally kills the "you need a Franchise QB to be a contender" nonsense


Recommended Posts

This battle will rage into eternity. The proof is in the pudding folks.. Good teams go far in the playoffs.

 

They just can't be a liability you morons (PETERMAN)

Don't confuse a weak quarterback losing with a good team (Savage in the playoffs) to meaning a good quarterback wins no matter what. That's called a contrapositive or something like that. Go back to school folks.

Point one, we can win games with Taylor behind center.

 

Point two, we did win games with Taylor behind center.

 

Point three, the Buffalo Bills made the playoffs...

Point 4.         Taylor folds faster than Andy Dalton in playoff games.  

 

All the best to him, it’s time for someone else to get a shot at QB for the Bills

Except Keenum is good... I got flamed by the CoT for suggesting we let Tyrod go and sign him last offseason. I was told I was purposely downgrading the QB position to save a few dollars. Yea, sure. 

 

Foles did not "get his team to a conference Championship game." Wentz got them most of the way and then the defense held on a 4 down red zone series on Saturday to get them past Atlanta. 

 

Bortles is a fair point.... he isn't great. I do actually think his 2017 tape is better than Tyrod's though. He has played better this season. 

 

Rex Grossman made the Superbowl once as well. He still sucked. The Cult is now on life support. The end is nigh. 

 

Ever consider that Keenum is more the product of Shermur than anything?

 

Look how incredible Bradford looked Week 1.

 

Doubt he remotely resembles that under Dennison.

I think the NY Giants are looking at Keenum and seeing what Vikings OC Pat Shurmur was able to do for the guy. That miracle play at the end of the Saints game is something the team has practiced over and over.

 

Now go back to 2013 when Foles had his career season and look who his OC was...yep, Pat Shurmur. Eagles HC Chip Kelly with his two 10-6 seasons his OC was Pat Shurmur. 

 

So... you mean Keenum's first 5 years as a journeyman might be more representative of who Case Keenum is than what he's done this year under an OC who's about to become a HC somewhere next year because of his spectacular work with bleh QBs?

 

Interesting 0:)

 

I hope Dabol is the next guy like that after being wildly successful for a few years molding our new QB we draft in the 1st round this year :thumbsup:

Just FYI...on BBMB last season, he created close to 25 threads about Taylor.  I looked it up on the search function because I was curious.  He’s actually toned down the obsession so I’m a little proud of him.  Baby steps.

 

Aw shux :wub:

This is so True, look at Super Bowl winning QB's.  For every Tom Brady or Payton Manning you get Mark Ripen or Trent Dilfer.  You need a competent QB who can make they key throw and manage the offense.    If Tyrod could anticipate throws and actually hit a receiver as they ran he would be perfect.

I have no problem drafting a QB to groom. On the other hand it would be great for the Buffalo Bills to come out next season with the same work ethic and good chemistry from a team perspective and I think Tyrod Taylor is a big part it.

 

In my humble opinon and with all due respect sir.

 

Alex Smith is a name being tossed around allot. How deep into the playoffs did he go?

From practically claiming TT was a Franchise type guy  -- to  -- Who needs a franchise type guy?

 

smh

you seriously need to let go of Tay Tay 

McD is the one you will have to convince when it comes to letting go of Taylor,

 

which will be easier said then done IMO.

 

Lets say Taylor does come back through all the changes and stands behind center when the next regular season rolls around. 4 years as the Bills starting QB.

 

Who at the dawning of a New Era has represented this franchise better?

Hope this was worth your time for a post that was a tongue in cheek post taking a little light-hearted jab at a previously-banned-poster-under-a-new-name's thread :thumbsup: 

 

I had fun with mine. The little I read of your post, you sounded upset. Why you mad, bro?

 

I got a feeling you will be the mad one come March when TT is gone, bro.

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. 

 

 

It's the offense as a whole that struggled all year. Not just one entity. We had a weak OC. A mediocre and safe qb. A very avg oline forced to zone block. Wr's hurt or dropping balls. No elite TE 's. Brian will have to retool every facet.

at first I was like the OP is not really obsessed with taylor, then I was like, yes, yes he is. I just hope it doesn't hurt too much when they move on from him this off season.

 

I'm very excited about this QB offseason.  Can't wait to see who we draft in the 1st. 

 

I could see Tyrod being part of a package deal on draft day to trade up.

 

I could also see Tyrod being kept on the roster for one more year

 

Who knows?

 

If we get Darnold, Mayfield or Rudolph in the 1st... I'll be stoked! 
 

A fun few months ahead of us  :thumbsup:

You could be right. But I would put the blame on Dennison more than Taylor and a severely poor receiving corps.

They don't get enough attention for how bad they are. Slow, lumbering, rocks for hands.deonte Thompson's catch in the colts should be made by any wr. Yet he's our playmaker now lol

don't make it worse.  

 

Protecting the ball is good

Being more overprotective than an overprotective OC hurts the teams ability to win.

Not at all.

 

If we upgrade the position, I'll be stoked.

 

But I think the likelihood of Taylor being gone in March is low, unless we've traded him as part of a package at that point to trade up in the draft.  Personally, I don't think Beane or McDermott will go the route of a FA vet QB.  I think they want their guy in the draft in the 1st round specifically, which was the whole point of all of our moves last offseason going all the way back to trading down with KC in the draft.

 

 

Sorry, had to be serious for a moment, there  :flirt:

Oh MCD is convinced. Did he not bench Tyrod this season? Just because Peterman sucked doesn't all the sudden change the reason Tyrod got benched. Please spare me it was Dennison or anyone else because the HC made the call and had the authority to. So please assume he was complicit. Tyrod wasn't benched for any other reason besides he wasn't getting it done. 

 

I think the 5 fans Tyrod has left will have to do the convincing.

Bortles threw for more yards and tds during the season than Taylor for starters and then this happened 

 

 

 

Tyrod sucks, your crusade and feelings suck a little harder.       

 

I “get it”   Only Bortles beat Taylor and played better all year so it makes zero sense to be honest.   

 

Bortles is worse than Taylor.  Sorry.  Fans like you get suckered into QBs like Bortles without realizing over his career, more of his production has come in garbage time than the vast majority of NFL QBs, by far.  Over the last 3 years, here's his production when his team has been down by multiple scores (9 or more points):

 

28.5% of all of his attempts

30.3% of all of his completions

32.3% of all of his yards

36.7% of all of his TDs

32.3% of all of his rushing attempts

37.2% of all of his rushing yards

42.9% of all of his rushing TDs

 

Bortles is fortunate enough  to be on probably the most talented team in the NFL.  His production over the course of his career has been illusory and massively in garbage time.

Look at the end of the day Tyrod has to play better.  He is still very inconsistent, but he also needs help...better OL, better WR's and better play calling.  All of that can be (is being) fixed this off season.

Nice stats, where did you get those from?

 

FWIW, TT had 18 TDs last year and 5 were garbage time using your perimeters. So 13 meaningful TDs in 15 games.  

 

Not to mention TT led his offense to

9 pts vs NE

3 pts vs NE

3 pts vs NO

3 pts vs Jax

3 pts vs Car

 

and had 56 and 65 yard passing days 

 

All that is just this past year 2017

 

Bortles sucks but he doesn't suck as bad as Tyrod.

Bortles was better this year in the regular season and the post season

Alex Smith is a name being tossed around allot. How deep into the playoffs did he go? 

 

2

The man did throw for 4042 yards with 26 TDs, 5 INTs with a rating of 104.7. That Chiefs offense was 17th in passing attempts and yet 7th in yards, 10th in TDs, 2nd in INTs. They finished the season #6 in PF, #5 in yards. All this with three players on offense doing most of the heavy lifting, one WR in Tyreek Hill, one TE in Travis Kelce, and one RB in Kareem Hunt.

 

In the playoffs, TE Kelce went out in the first half and that left Smith with one WR to throw to and suddenly in this game, his OC decided to stop calling run plays. The #1 team in the NFL in rushing yards per attempt and #9 in rushing yards for some reason didn't rush the ball much. 16 rushing attempts for 69 yards in that playoff game.

 

Last season (2017) the Chiefs offense was #7 in passing yards, #9 in rushing yards, and their defense was #28 overall, #29th in passing allowed, #25th in rushing allowed. In that playoff game, the Chiefs defense allowed Tennessee 397 total yards of offense. 

 

Bottom line is the Chiefs had a star RB that rushed for 1327 yards during the regular season and then only gave him 11 attempts rushing for 42 yards in the game. That opportunistic Chiefs defense that was #2 in turnover differential at #15, only Baltimore was better at #17. The Chiefs defense stunk up the field in the second half allowing the Titans offense 19 points to a very mediocre QB and rush attack. It was more the lack of a run game and bad defense that lost that playoff game IMO. 

 

 

I would take QB Alex Smith any day over Tyrod Taylor!

I would consider A Smith to be a good upgrade to the Bills QB position and do not place as much emphasis on post season play as others might do and why I used him as an example.

 

thanks for the reply
