I expect McCarron to be about the same as Tyrod as a passer - safe, conservative, sporadic moving the offense but a competitor and a game manager - and less than Tyrod as a runner (though he isn't totally immobile). The point to moving on from Tyrod was never about whether you could get similar play for a year or two from an AJ McCarron or a Case Keenum (as I advocated a year ago) it was about getting away from the baggage of having your former established starter sitting ahead of the guy who you really hope is the future - which we now know is Josh Allen. Agreed. And I have no problem with moving on from Taylor. But I do have a problem with the brutes who still want to complain about a guy who we got for basically nothing, who played better than most people anticipated, and who contributed to the end of the teams playoff drought. Thinking that a QB from Alabama will be an immediate upgrade is more than silly. Edited June 4, 2018 by MURPHD6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with these numbers and comparing them directly with the Bills years is the fact that woods and Watkins were the 3rd and 4th leading receiver on the Rams. When they were on the Bills they were the first and second. So now we've gone from : Your Old "Point" : Watkins and Woods had much better production with the Rams Your New "Point" : Watkins and Woods didn't have better production, but the Rams passed more so .... so .... I'm not sure what what my point is ..... This was what you originally said : " Tyrod had both Woods and Watkins on his team just like Goff did and look at the difference in production from them two." You actually looked up the numbers because you actually believed what you'd been told - what you said above. It's not my fault the stories passed around were wrong.

I was, for the most part, an ABTer - but not completely. I wanted him to be gone because, at his best, he simply wasn't very good - especially when the Bills needed points. But I didn't want to replace him with a retread. I wanted him to be replaced by a question mark - whether it was going all-in on a draftee, or whether it was bringing someone like McCarron in - whom I still consider a question mark. Tyrod's departure, the acquisition of McCarron and the drafting of Allen were exactly what I was looking for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its akin to being the creepy dude who only hits on girls that he thinks are 10's, and that dude never gets laid. Also notice he claims Taylor is only throwing for 200 yds on a very good day for him when the guy averaged 200 pass yds a game over his 3 seasons here. Dont bother with that clown dude. He’s warped.

colin Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Tyrod regressed because we took away his Greggggg Roman O, which made colin Kap look like an all star. It was a pretty interesting system, with insane formations and a run game that kept the entire front 7 of the D guessing and resulted in huge run plays and provided some deep passing chances. it also lead to penalties, no rhythm, and plays took SOOOOO LONGGG to get in. 8 million formations and 35 substitutions per drive. the RB coach now in SD ran it better than roman did, but it was his creation. anyhow, tyrod has huge limitations as a passer, and even tho some fans give him excuses comparing him to brees or whever from 15 years ago, passing production is up all around and tyrod just couldn't deliver because he struggles to read a d and make an accurate throw. he was IMO maybe the best QB ever at not turning it over tho, and ran well. I look at tyrod as a perfect guy to add onto a team with a sick D, solid run game, and no passing O, because he make some plays out of thin air, but he can't work within the offensive system and implement a dynamic passing attack. I think houston 2 years ago when they had osweiler and savage at qb would have a shot at the chip with him, or some of the pre flacco baltimore teams, or even the jets in ryan's first days there. he's just too limited and we have seen what he can do, and more importantly what he cannot do. He was also an awesome pro, great to his teammates, solid attitude, and a quiet type of leader. IMO he is the ideal back up QB for most any team because he can leg it out and will not make the bad turnover, but he simply cannot be relied upon to score, or even avoid killer 3 and outs in his own end. we are going a totally different direction with the team now, with tyrod we more or less needed the opponents to incorrectly defend against us or make a big mistake so we could get a few big plays and we had trouble sustaining drives due to the lack of efficiency in passing. now that we are going all out stud talent at QB (and adding pieces like that on D) we are trying to have a team that can score against any D from any spot on the field (with a higher risk of turnovers). basically the opposite of the gregg roman tyrod bills, which was money in the redzone, but stalled out so often in key situations you wanted to pull your hair out. i give tyrod a partial pass for last season, because the talent level on O fell off and the OC was junk and get his walking papers over it, but tyrod's flaws were just emphasized, and we saw the entire O just vanish for long stretches, including a frankly embarrassing string of games mid season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really frustrated me about the Bills offense, for the better part of the drought, but especially under Taylor was a lack of command and control. If Bills fans were honest with themselves (a rarity), did you ever feel confident down 4 points with the ball under 2 minutes the Bills would go ahead? I recall the '16 Miami game clearly, as the only situation where this was the case, and the Bills still failed to score in OT with 2 possessions to win! He has maybe 2 impressive performances in 3 years starting, both losses. @ Sea, vs Miami in 16. We're all so warped from years of tragic, heartbreaking defeats we all lose sight in the fact Taylor had plenty of opportunities to be the hero and failed almost always. Here's to improving on the 31st passing offense, 181 yards/game. Laughable in NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like A Mofo Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 So mixed on Tyrod. Yes, limitations in the passing game, but his lack of turnovers helped make up for 'some' of that. The biggest issue with Tyrod IMO was in a close game, down 7 or less, with the ball late, and the Bills needed to go 60-90 yards for a score, Tyrod was really exposed. That limited the Bills to 8-8, 9-7 status IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Hapless, I was about in the same place. I was a little shocked when Taylor was traded, not because he was the future but because I'm too risk averse to be a gm. I wouldn't have traded Tyrod until I knew I had my 2018 starter. It couldn't be a rookie, because I wouldn't put myself in the position of having to start my rookie. Maybe Beane knew he never could do worse than McCarron in the qb musical chairs that were about to begin, and, like Hapless, I'd figure that AJ would be what TT was the last couple of a years - a mediocre starter. So my shock at TT going lasted only until AJ signed. Then I thought talent-wise the Bills were in the same place they'd been with TT - looking for a long-term solution. Will I be completely surprised if Tyrod turns into a successful qb somewhere? No. He has NFL level physical talent. He's a better thrower than people give him credit for. It's possible that in a different environment, a different offense, he will blossom. But the odds on that happening got low enough for the Bills to decide to move on. Whatever the environment, a qb with four years on the bench and then three years starting should show progress, and Taylor didn't. J 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I’m not sure why he even went there. The problem isn’t what he did, it’s where the bills front office wants to go.

Its akin to being the creepy dude who only hits on girls that he thinks are 10's, and that dude never gets laid. I didn't say "regularly". I said "be capable of". Huge difference. A defensive coordinator has to account for the possibility that Ben Roethlisberger could put up 375/4 (just passing) on him on a Sunday. That would be considered a really good game for Ben, right? A defensive coordinator accounting for the possibility of a really good game from Taylor only has to worry about the guy throwing for 225/2 and rushing for 40/1. Now do you see the difference? Or do we have to take a step back and review how 375 is more than 265? Also, that analogy is awfully specific and personal. Feels like there's some projection going on here. Want to talk about it?

It was ugly at times. and Tolbert screens ? WTH was that all about. Mills was awful at PP and Ducasse was no shining star either. Receivers ? None returning and everyone injured at some point. Shady was the lone high point Defense was such a turn around from Ryans and a joy to behold ! It was a fun season. But the Offense sucked generally. Very much looking forward to the second year in the Process. I like Daboll And i must admit i honestly do like Leslie Frazier. I was NOT excited when he came on . Go Bills ! ...still think TT's inherent weakness was ability to process entire field in 5 seconds of less nor did I see the passing game ever becoming a viable threat, particularly downfield.....at the same time Dennison was woefully inconsistent....one week he'd craft a game plan that took advantage of TT's mobility (probably a factor as to why he remains in the NFL mix today) and we'd get the "W"......the following week his "crafted plan" made you think TT was in a wheelchair....this clown was as frustrating as Hackett and even Fairchild.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is passing yards not one of the criteria the HOF uses to determine a QB worthiness of being enshrined? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure it is...they throw it in there with you know actually WINNING. There are also lots of passing yards thrown by QBs.....in losses. My point here is there are other things that are real things you can bash Tyrod over and be legit.....but passing yards on a team that runs the ball a ton? 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: It ain’t a strong passing game, no doubt about that. Part of it was the offensive scheme but I thought it was pretty clear that when asked to do more with the passing game, Taylor couldn’t. He simply wasnt a franchise QB....he could not put the team on his shoulders....and he didnt improve even though he was given years to do it. I still say he was not a "sucky" qb......just not what we needed if we wanted to be a real playoff team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
