BuffaloBillyG Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Leadership. Work ethic. Being well dressed (or so they say). Literally all he brings to the table. Eventually they will actually play football. They will see he doesn't move an offense. Holds the ball too long. Plays way too conservative. And they will yell and scream to play the rookie.

Captain Murica Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) Nothing new to be honest. These things have been stated before when he is in Buffalo. Just wait for the Browns to be down by a score in the last few minutes and he can't execute the 2-minute drill. I'm a Tyrod guy and will still root for him in Cleveland. But, after the Jags game is impossible to defend him now. Edited April 20, 2018 by Captain Murica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before that we were 6-10 (-2) for 5 years and 7-9 (+/-2) for 5 years. We have been mediocre for a long, long time. So mediocrity has become tiresome to us. It's been 4 years since the Browns enjoyed the comfort of 7-9 mediocrity. They've been Bad. So it's possible that if Taylor returns them to mediocrity, they'll be all encouraged and happy. Mediocrity isn't tiresome to them. Yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninChicago Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Even though I didn’t think there was a place for him on the Bills this year and trading him was definitely the right move, especially for what we got, I am rooting for him to have continued success in the league. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing the turnover battle isn’t one of them. Sam Darnold is going early because of his complete skill set. The negative on him has been ball security. It’s easier to teach him to take care of the football than to teach Baker Mayfied to be 6’4”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lack the energy and focus to dig up the stats, but I'm kind of wondering if one "binned" turnovers situationally if one would find that some turnovers (like the ones NPTH described, that are deep shots on 3rd down IIRC) really have null impact. It might be hard to do, because when a QB is having a day where the opposing DBs seem to know more about the passing routes than his own WR, INTs tend to come in clumps.

I do understand your point that there are game situations where it's worth taking a shot because an INT is effectively not that much different than a punt. Absolutely. It's one of the reasons that he has so few 4th quarter comebacks IMO. Oddly one of the games that I though he looked the most comfortable in was the 2nd half of the Charger game. Game was lost so he was just out there. A lot less pressure on him to be careful and he slung it around pretty well. The guy can play...when he plays. The Tennessee game that he basically won by himself...another example of what he could be. Truthfully, some of it I'm certain is on coaches wanting him to play conservative. But you have to be willing to take...as Beane said... calculated risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint - the second one will score a lot more points and win a lot more games. Not throwing the ball is not a good approach to avoiding interceptions. Btw - TT is well on his way to permanent backup status - he is a placeholder for an unnamed QB who WILL replace him before the end of the season.
