Looked like with an arm like TT has it was an easy try. Example of too cautious I guess. Expand Thompson wasn't signed to our roster until after the Bengals game. 2

GoBills808 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Receivers in Pittsburgh should be ashamed of themselves, they got less separation than the Browns. That’s clearly why the Steelers didn’t lead the league in passing and the Browns did. 1

Expand This is true. But most of the time the receiver is avoiding contact because the throw is so low he has to catch it from laying down, or the receiver has to stop his route as the ball isn’t in stride.

TigerJ Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 We've been through the discussion of Buffalo's receivers being open or not. One stat that may be relevant is the fact that Tyrod holds the ball longer than any other QB in the league. Ostensibly, he does this because he has trouble anticipating his receivers moves. Many times he seems reluctant to throw until he sees the receiver is open. The problem is with the quality of DBs in the league, receivers are rarely open for a long time. If you wait until they are open, then wind up to throw, you have wasted valuable time, and the window of openness for your receiver has come and gone. I wonder if this is what is happening to Tyrod. In other words, maybe the tig windows are of Tyrod's own making because he hesitates too long to throw the football. 1

Expand The point is that there was no demand for him in a league where teams are carrying 6 receivers and using them. He's a taint. He's a "big slot".......which most teams have no use for those.......they want quick and fast slot receivers......OR they want to put a TE in the slot who they can move inside to help in the run game. And Matthews is simply not quick or fast enough.....or a size/contested catch guy like Benjamin........ to play the x of z effectively. Edited February 10, 2018 by BADOLBILZ
downunderbill Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) Is throwing it away on third down a stat? Tyrod's biggest problem is that he has the situational awareness of Helen Keller, and it seems to be getting worse as time goes on. Edited February 10, 2018 by downunderbill 2

Maybe on his next team he'll start taking more chances with the ball. He certainly could keep working on that. Expand This I agree with. In my opinion, the very BEST Taylor looked all season was, ironically to me, the second half of the Charger game. He really didn't have a need to be ultra conservative, flung the ball around more freely, took off running using his athletic ability more. If we could have seen him like that more of his Buffalo career I would like to keep him. However, he truly is what he is at this point. Wish him the very best, class act guy. Just doesn't have that clutch ability.
Kirby Jackson Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 This is another one of those things that’s a shoulder shrug for me. Tyrod has always been pretty accurate. I don’t think that anyone ever debated that. That was never the issue though. I’m not surprised when I see that he was relatively accurate or that the receivers didn’t get separation. That was never a part of the conversation. Those were givens. Now if we saw some advanced stats that said he threw early or that the receivers were great route runners I’d be intersted. These stats to me are a little “water is wet.” 1
