Tyrod Taylor: I still feel that I’d done more than enough to stay

The Jets were rushing 8, no Oline could stop them. The reasons defenses don’t rush 8 is because pro QBs can make a quick throw to offset the lack of coverage. Tyrod is not able to make a quick read under pressure

Is that why he was 29-40 for 285 yards and 2 TDs, and another TD on the ground?

I agree with that, except that I do think he had a real slump in the middle of 2017 before his benching for 3 or 4 games. That was his worst run as an NFL starter.  Take those 3 or 4 games out and he was reasonably 'on the level' for 3 years.... some bad games, some good games, some middling games but all pretty close to the median.  

Gunner, I've been a big Taylor supporter for years, but I think you're just flat out wrong with this.   What you said is classic cherry picking of the data.   The only meaningful way to look at players' careers is by looking at season stats.   For his three seasons as a starter in Buffalo, Taylor got progressively worse.   

 

The other way you could prove that Taylor's performance for three years has been "reasonably on the level" would be to "take those 3 or 4 games" when Taylor was at his best in 2015.   What would have?  An absolute, dead-on, mediocre journey man.  

 

On balance, Taylor did not perform well enough.   He had two seasons as a starter, a chance to grow.  Then he had a year with a new head coach to prove he could be the guy to lead a winner, and he didn't prove anything.

Yep. It was all Tyrods fault.

I'd agree with that. Lack of quality pass catchers played a part, IMO.

 

Our receiving options were poor, no doubt. Tyrod isn't, and was never, great at seeing the whole field and we know he didn't like throwing into coverage so the more guys you have who can get separation the better.

I was not a big Taylor supporter and I agree he is a middling journey man. I think his lows were lower in 2017 but I was out on him being the answer for the Bills halfway through 2016.  I don't think his performance did fluctuate drastically year to year.

this is complete BS.... The jets were constantly collapsing the pocket around taylor with just 4 and 5 guys. it was one of the worst displays of pass blocking in my recent memory.

 

 

….. and now this is the part where somebody mistakes me stating that fact as me absolutely loving tyrod and wishing he was still here...… which isn't the case btw. in case you're wondering.

I agree totally.  Yes, they blitzed a lot. But they were sending 5 not 8 and the Bills were incapable of playing "hat for a hat" football.  They just bullied us up front. 

[Shaw66]

Also, for those of you who think Taylor was terrible in the Jets game in New York, I think you're wrong.   First, he threw for 280 yards, 2 TDs and no INTs, with a passer rating of 108.    Then you'll say it was in garbage time.   However, if you go through the play-by-play and tally the stats as you go, you will see that he performed more or less the same throughout the last three quarters.  In general, in the beginning of the game, his pass attempts were on third and long after the Jets had stuffed running plays on first and second down.  He had the Bills driving for the score to lead at halftime when Matthews fumbled.  When the Bills actually let him pass on first down in the third quarter, he stated another drive and then O'Leary fumbled.  

 

You can fault Taylor for his fumble, but that's about it.  He had a little over 100 yards on his last two TD drives, but that was when many of his passing attempts occurred, too.

I didn't give up on him until last year.   I think it takes most QBs three years or more on the field to develop the skills they need, so 2016 bothered me but didn't cause me to give up.  2017 did.

right. I distinctly remember a play early in that game where they sent 5 on our 5. the pocket literally enclosed around taylor in what looked like a freaking star formation and I remember thinking.... "have I ever seen a full pocket collapse around a guy that quick when it was a hat on a hat?" we aren't talking just one or 2 lineman getting pushed back. they literally backed our whole line into taylor and swallowed him up....

 

and then it kept happening.

Listen, i'm not one bit upset about moving on from taylor. i dont wish for him back.... but anyone that's not willing to acknowledge how putrid that O-line was in that game basically shows exactly what sort of agenda they have going on right now.

Did any of you actually watch the game? There was no semblance of a run game (because the OL got dominated), but Rico refused to let it go.

 

With 3 minutes left in the first half Tyrod had thrown only 10 passes (7/10 for 69 yards and 1 TD). That's inexcusable when your RBs have combined for 38 yards in that same time span. In the final 3 minutes of the half he was 4/5 for 46, and Matthews fumbled on the Jets 31 yard line with a minute left. So first half he was 11/15 for 115 and 1 TD and the score was 7-10. (7.67 YPA, 117.4 Passer Rating)

 

2nd half started with 2 runs for 1 net yard and then an incompletion. Next drive starts with a 9 yard completion before McCoy loses 5 yards on a run. After that we're pinned deep and we run for 0, false start to put us inside our own 5, incomplete, and then a scramble just to get us out of our end zone. Next drive (now 7-24) Tyrod starts 3/3 for 39 yards before O'Leary fumbles around the Jets 30 yard line. I'll call it there. That's the drive they needed to keep the game within 10 points with a quarter to go.

 

At that point, he was 12/19 for 151 and a TD. That's good for 7.95 YPA and a 105.4 Passer Rating. If you're surprised that his pass attempts went up when we got further behind in the score then I'm not sure what to say. But with the increased workload in the 4th his YPA dropped some as expected with increased attempts and his passer rating went up slightly. He also finished as the teams leading rusher on just 6 carries.

 

Also, since none of you seemed to pick up on it, the whole point of my post was directed at the false notion that "Tyrod is not able to make a quick read under pressure". If he was truly not capable of such things, he wouldn't have been 12/19 for 151 and a TD. If he wasn't capable of making a read under pressure he may have been 6/14 for 66 yards, 0 TDs and 5 INTs.

So is gaining >50% of your yards and > 66% of your TD's down 17, then down 24,  then down 27 in the 4th Q no longer garbage time?

 

Tyrod's agent might have been the only person happy the Bills cut the lead to 20 with 4 minutes to go.

The myth that Taylor did nothing in the Thursday Jet's game until "garbage time" is one of those zombie lies that just won't die.

 

Here's what he did in the First Half :  15/11  76.6%   115 yds  7.7 ypa  1 td   0 ints

 

This was with a Jets' pass rush in Taylor's face the moment he set to throw. This was with repeated third&longs caused by penalties, a porous o-line, and nonexistent ground game. McCoy ran for 25 yards on 12 carries. Tolbert added another three yards for his contribution. Taylor led the Bills in rushing with 35 yards.

 

Want to dig into the substance of your error?  Attached is a series by series analysis of the game. Why don't you give it a shot and kill the zombie once and for all......

Again, I didn't bring up garbage time and in my post I removed it with a fairly thorough breakdown. Can you expand on how someone incapable of making reads under pressure goes 12/19 for 151 yards, 1 TD and no INTs while under constant pressure?

Scoring 1 TD when the game is still a game, and then scoring 2 TD's in the final 4 minutes down 27 points is the DEFINITION of garbage time.

 

But that's okay. His slight bump in passer rating to those who pore over the box score didn't save him as a Bill.  And maybe Cleveland didn't watch the game and that's why they offered a third.  Beane doing Beane things.

Imagine if TT didn't get those two garbage time TD's.  He may have finished with 16 total TD's on the year.  That would have tied him with 7 games of Aaron Rodgers, Deshone Kizer of 22 INT's in 15 games fame, and Alvin Kamara, a rookie RBBC.  What an illustrious group.  Thank God for those 2 TD's, honestly.  Cleveland may not have offered enough for us to trade him if he got matched in scoring by Kizer.

You skipped that nugget of context and went straight to 'It was garbage time'. So I broke down the game prior to when it was garbage time and eliminated the stats after we failed to keep the game within 10. Also, 134 is not >50% of 285.

Let's analyze, I'm doing my own math here so let's see.

 

1st drive: 

 

TT sacked, incomplete to Deonte Thompson, Shady no gain, punt.  TT 0/1 and a sack.

 

2nd drive:

 

TT complete to Jordan Matthews for 11 yards (good), Shady for 13 rush,  Tolbert for 1x2, TT to Deonte for 5 yards on 3rd and 8, punt.  TT 2/3 for 16 yard and a sack.  Looks like he's completing a high percentage, but behind the sticks.  First downs aren't important for his stats tho.  No way a defense would give you a 5 yard pass on 3rd and 8, that's silly.

 

3rd drive:

 

TT 3/6 for 29 yards and a TD.  Good!  TT now is 5/9 for 45 yards and a TD, one sack

 

4th drive:

 

TT 1 pass for 13 yards, takes 2 sacks, incomplete.  Now 6/11 for 57 yards, one TD, 3 sacks.  Not awesome.

 

5th drive:

 

TT goes 5/6 ( with the incomplete having a penalty so 5/5), but takes TWO MORE SACKS.  One requiring a burned TO.  Stats, 11/16, 114 yards, one TD, 5 sacks

 

Drive ends on a fumble, not TT's fault, that's halftime.  Here's where it gets problematic.

 

Half

 

6th drive:

 

3 and out, TT 0/1.  Ugly start.  Stats, 11/17, 114, one TD, 5 sacks

 

7th drive: 

 

TT goes 1/2, 9 yards, 3 and out.  Stats, 12/18, 123 yards, one TD, 5 sacks

 

8th drive:  

 

3 and out.  TT 0/1.  Stats 12/19, 123 yards, one TD, 5 sacks.

 

9th drive:

 

TT starts out 2/2, for 19 yards.  Fumbles and loses 7 yards, so SACK.  Throws to O'Leary and O'Leary fumbles.  So that's 15/22, 162 yards, one TD, 6 sacks.  

 

4th Q

 

TT put up 9 yards in his first 3 drives after the half. That's BAD.  He completed one pass in his first 3 drives.  That's BAD. He went to sleep like he always did, and the defense didn't hold on and the game ended.  That's BAD.  Taking 5 sacks in a half is BAD.

 

Tyrod is BAD.

TT goes 5/6 ( with the incomplete having a penalty so 5/5), but takes TWO MORE SACKS.  One requiring a burned TO.  Stats, 11/16, 114 yards, one TD, 5 sacks

 

Drive ends on a fumble, not TT's fault, that's halftime.  Here's where it gets problematic.

 

Half

 

6th drive:

 

3 and out, TT 0/1.  Ugly start.  Stats, 11/17, 114, one TD, 5 sacks

 

7th drive: 

 

TT goes 1/2, 9 yards, 3 and out.  Stats, 12/18, 123 yards, one TD, 5 sacks

 

8th drive:  

 

3 and out.  TT 0/1.  Stats 12/19, 123 yards, one TD, 5 sacks.

 

9th drive:

 

TT starts out 2/2, for 19 yards.  Fumbles and loses 7 yards, so SACK.  Throws to O'Leary and O'Leary fumbles.  So that's 15/22, 162 yards, one TD, 6 sacks.  

 

4th Q

 

TT put up 9 yards in his first 3 drives after the half. That's BAD.  He completed one pass in his first 3 drives.  That's BAD. He went to sleep like he always did, and the defense didn't hold on and the game ended.  That's BAD.  Taking 5 sacks in a half is BAD.

 

Tyrod is BAD.  

If it was easy to be me, everyone would do it.

Anybody who wants to compare your version with reality can just watch the above, video clip by video clip. Somehow I'm betting they trust their eyes over your agenda. For instance, the first series Taylor was dropped for a sack by a Jet who wasn't blocked at all. That happened repeatedly throughout the game, with Taylor escaping sometimes, but other times swarmed as the pocket collapsed just as Taylor sets his feet. As noted in the piece, only 16 percent of NFL drives are able to survive a sack to achieve an additional set of downs. Plus, on the first series there was an illegal shift penalty to boot, which backed the Bills to their goalline.

Tyrod is BAD.  

 

So, by your count he was sacked 6 times before garbage time (under constant pressure), and still managed 15/22 for 162, 1 TD, 0 INTs. It sounds like you think all 6 sacks are the QB's fault even though it was clear the OL couldn't block in the run or pass game. Taking 5 sacks in a half isn't good, but having your team on the opponent's 31 with 1 minute left in the half down 3 isn't the worst position to be in.

 

The first 3 drives of the 2nd half he was 1/4 for 9 yards. That's correct. Then, in the 4th drive he was 3/3 for 39 yards and had us on the Jets 30 again. If you want to use 4 attempts as a sample size to prove a QB is bad I will prove that every QB to ever play football is bad.

 

Thanks for proving my point. Even through constant pressure and several sacks in the first 3 quarters Tyrod still didn't make the crucial mistake and kept the team within striking distance (because he is capable of performing well when pressured).

Did any of you actually watch the game? There was no semblance of a run game (because the OL got dominated), but Rico refused to let it go.

 

With 3 minutes left in the first half Tyrod had thrown only 10 passes (7/10 for 69 yards and 1 TD). That's inexcusable when your RBs have combined for 38 yards in that same time span. In the final 3 minutes of the half he was 4/5 for 46, and Matthews fumbled on the Jets 31 yard line with a minute left. So first half he was 11/15 for 115 and 1 TD and the score was 7-10. (7.67 YPA, 117.4 Passer Rating)

 

2nd half started with 2 runs for 1 net yard and then an incompletion. Next drive starts with a 9 yard completion before McCoy loses 5 yards on a run. After that we're pinned deep and we run for 0, false start to put us inside our own 5, incomplete, and then a scramble just to get us out of our end zone. Next drive (now 7-24) Tyrod starts 3/3 for 39 yards before O'Leary fumbles around the Jets 30 yard line. I'll call it there. That's the drive they needed to keep the game within 10 points with a quarter to go.

 

At that point, he was 12/19 for 151 and a TD. That's good for 7.95 YPA and a 105.4 Passer Rating. If you're surprised that his pass attempts went up when we got further behind in the score then I'm not sure what to say. But with the increased workload in the 4th his YPA dropped some as expected with increased attempts and his passer rating went up slightly. He also finished as the teams leading rusher on just 6 carries.

 

Also, since none of you seemed to pick up on it, the whole point of my post was directed at the false notion that "Tyrod is not able to make a quick read under pressure". If he was truly not capable of such things, he wouldn't have been 12/19 for 151 and a TD. If he wasn't capable of making a read under pressure he may have been 6/14 for 66 yards, 0 TDs and 5 INTs.

A run back to LOS is better than a 7 yard loss on a sack, Tyrods lack of a quick release is one the many reasons he is not in Buffalo

[wppete]

The bottom line with Tyrod is he is not good value for $18 million a year. Much better having AJ McCarron form $5 million a rookie QB and Peterman whos salary i believe is around $500k a year.  Its a huge business after all is said and done.

So now it's his release time and not his reads under pressure?

15/22 for 162 yards with 5 sacks is not good........

 

I'm not saying the team played great and he held them back.  Just that when the QB needed to elevate, he didn't.  He was same old mediocre Tyrod.  His third quarters are the anti-Warriors.

 

The Jets game was another mediocre showing from Tyrod in a long line of them.  Sometimes our defense and other guys play well and we win.  Sometimes they don't and we lose.  Rarely does Tyrod play what I would consider "good," especially in 2017.

Tyrod is one of the most sacked QB's in the NFL through 3 seasons.

 

In 2017, the line was not great, but we had 3 ProBowlers in his first two years.  So.......

So he was capable, just not good enough to elevate the rest of the offense. We saw what a QB who isn't capable of making reads under pressure looks like last year, but it wasn't Tyrod.
