You’re still in love with a qb who can’t pass.   

 

Follow your heart to Cleveland.    Then come back to us once he’s benched again.

 

Im no artist.     Some other Bills fan who got tired of Tyrods crappy passing made it.

I suppose the time some of us spend on here we all have a little time on our hands

I heard it today on NFL network and just now from Joe Buck.

"He played under two defensive minded coaches and never had an opportunity to cut it loose."

OMG!

This is Cleveland propaganda. Always amazing to me how little the national media knows.

 

Looked like same old Tyrod and what's with all the Cleveland love?? Aikmen trying say this Cleveland teams was just like his old Dallas team that won 3 SBs, lol.

 

Get real these guys have been way worse than us and now they are the model franchise, I will believe it when I see it.

Really hope Tyrod does well. He deserves it. He works hard, he's a good guy, and he gave us what we paid for while he was here and took us to the playoffs.

 

Don't regret moving on from Tyrod and won't regret it regardless of what he does from here on out...but hope he does really well.

 

 

The damn shame of that injury is that he may never see the field in Cleveland and had he gotten them off to good start (and I mean even 3-5) he probably would have been brought in to be a starter somewhere else next year unless Cleveland wanted to keep him as security.

 

I'd love to see this guy make 50 million plus over the duration of his career.

For me, Tyrod's inability to successfully mount a drive at the end of a game to either run out the clock or score the winning points fatally wounds his chances at being a franchise guy. That certainly was not a product of conservative play calling. I will say this, with Mayfield in the wings, there is no need for Cleveland to limit Tyrod's running. They can afford the risk and that will certainly make Tyrod more effective, at least until he is inevitably injured.

Too bad Rex never hired an offensive coordinator to run the offensive side of the ball when he was here.   It was always so odd watching TuhRod run the 4-6 defense under center...oh wait.

2 things:

Is there a reason you can’t spell Tyrods name correctly?

 

Wtf is the 4-6 defense? Please tell me you aren’t one of those who doesn’t know it’s called the “46” (forty six) defense right? There is no 4-6, with 4 linemen and 6 linebackers. I’m tired of seeing this novice football knowledge everywhere. 

 

Next you'll tell me T.O was a “pre-Madonna” lmao.

Tyrod is the very essence of the phrase "The only one who doesn't makes mistakes is the one who doesn't do anything." At least in regards to passing the ball.

Do you perhaps have classes you teach on football? Something us "football novices" could sign up for?

 

Maybe you could get one of the 85' Bears as a guest speaker when you teach us about the 46 defense?

 

My original post was meant to be sarcastic.   Perhaps you didn't catch the news over the last two weeks where Tyrod, wants his name pronounced Tuh-Rod?

 

On the difference between 46 and 4-6, somehow you knew exactly what I was talking about.  Now, if you'll excuse my ignorance, maybe you can get back to spending your day as the smartest guy in any room you walk into.

With 4 seconds left in the half, 45 yards away from the endzone and he throws a 5 yard pass across the middle.  The guy has 0 football IQ

 

When we were down by about 30 late in the saints game and on third and Long he refused to take a shot... well... I knew he wasn’t likely the answer before that but it really was a “we 100% know now” moment. At some point you have to let the ball go downfield, even if a risk. He didn’t seem to get the added layer of being protective is fine but you need situational awareness

Damn dude, who sharted in your corn flakes this morning. And before you correct me, sharted is the combination of s*** and farted.

[Mrbojanglezs]

The media for whatever reason want so badly for Tyrod to be a superstar

[starrymessenger]

Tyrod's a QB impersonator. But at least he is really good at that. Fooled Hue Jackson (though that's apparently easy to do).  Also was LMAO at Landry looking shocked at no PI on one uncatchable ball after another. 

Really can't fathom the network game crews. Can they really be that clueless or is everything scripted beforehand. 

I guess Romo never got the message. Like that guy.

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Tyrod, whatever he is to anyone, has more wins, starts, TD’s,  probowls and career contract earnings Then all 3 Bills QBs combined. 

 

I unstand being happy the team has moved on, but the level of vitriol and hate are simply out of line with the facts.

That play in the CLE preseason game was vintage Tyrod.  Safe, conservative, we'll get 'em next time.  Tyrod is the one who doesn't cut Tyrod loose.  Idiots, go watch the tape.

It is an interesting, and unresolved, question how Hue and Todd "Ego" Haley will work together, as well as how Haley will work with Tyrod.

 

As far as with the Bills, Meh.  National commentators who know something, like Dilfer and Billick (as well as several here) were making comments about the design of Roman's passing game and the quality of the coaching - saying there were two questions, whether Tyrod could play successfully in the scheme and whether the Bills could win playing that scheme.  It is to be remembered that Roman went to the Superbowl with that scheme - and got spanked. 

 

As for Dennison, it was a question how much of him was Kubiak.  Folks here were sounding the alarm on our run game last year about this time.  Now we know.

Well, it would make a great underdog story.  Backup gets his shot with new team, goes to probowl, breaks playoff drought

Gets kicked to the curb anyway, gets shot with 1-31 (edited) team and makes good.

 

The media loves them some underdog stories.  Always has, always will.

#13 was Dez Lewis Tyrod's 1st two years here, and saw little (no?) game action at WR.

Last year #13 was Kelvin Benjamin

 

#35 was Mike Gillislee and last year was the over-used Mike Tolbert

 

Whether Benjamin and Tolbert appeared in a game together I leave as an exercise for someone else, but Tolbert was targeted 17 times last year.

That he struggled and played conservatively against the NFLs best defense?  Peterman came in  v that same defense and got sacked, completed one of three passes to his team and one to the other... I guess we would have liked more of that? 

 

Bills were in position to win that if only Bortles did go all Tyrod and run for several hundred yards. 

 

The guy did a good job for Buffalo. He wasn’t great, but was serviceable.  

 

For that I say thank you TT for making the Bills watchable, and competitive- good luck in Cleveland doing the same... i really Hope Josh is ready

Through 3 Weeks of Preseason

 

Tyrod Taylor averaging 9.3 yards per completion (71.4 completion pct.)

Baker Mayfield averaging 13.96 yards per completion (57.8 completion pct.)

 

What I take away from this is that it has nothing to do with who is calling the plays and everything to do with who is executing the plays.  Stats do not always give an accurate picture of what is happening, but these most definitely do.  Baker is trying to complete more difficult passes, pushing the ball down the field (Hence why his completion pct. is lower), while Tyrod continues to do Tyrod things, and takes way too many dump off throws underneath for 3 and 4 yards, especially when its 3rd and 10.

Tyrod is a super hard worker/great teammate. 

He's simply too slow in applying his training to live game action. He processes the game to slow, always will.

That's not an attribute you can Coach.

75% of what it takes to be a successful QB in the NFL is in between the ears once they make it to the pros.

Honestly I'm fine with Tyrod being in Cleveland, but I remember that he was our QB when the drought ended. I don't care if he was 100% responsible or 1% responsible for us making the playoffs, I only care that he was there and he help end the streak. Can we just wish him luck and move the f#(k on already!!!

I don't think preseason means that much.

 

That said:  9.3 ypa isn't dink-n-dunk territory.  The best teams in the NFL last season had just over 8 ypa, Saints and Chiefs.

“It’s always going to be twice as bad just because of who I am – an African-American quarterback,” Taylor said. “Look across the league, man. We’re held to a certain standard. We almost have to be perfect.

“I wouldn’t say it’s just an African-American quarterback thing. It’s an African-American athlete thing – or just an African-American thing. And that’s not anything I just found out. It’s been that way since I was a kid.”

 

So, he's been a crappy QB since he was a kid.  Got it.

 

The standard I held for him is throwing for more than 1 TD a game, AND over 200 yards occasionally. That seems like a pretty low standard to me.
