IgotBILLStopay Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Why will it happen? Post-Flacco, Ravens need a backup for Jackson. I think they can do a lot worse than TuhRod Taylor. Greg Roman (their OC) is familiar with him (and in 2015 Roman determined that Tyrod beat out Matt Cassell and EJ Manuel in training camp - so he clearly thinks well of Tyrod). Additionally Jackson is just a more dynamic version of Tyrod - so the offensive scheme in Baltimore can remain the same. Also Tyrod spent his formative years in the league in Baltimore. Why will it not happen? Anthony Lynn is also a big Tyrod fan - so it is possible Tyrod burnt some bridges with Roman by embracing Lynn after the former's firing.

John from Riverside Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I was a fan of Jackson before the draft......but when he came into the league I definately saw some things that are going to hold him back as a QB if he does not seriously work on them........ I think Tyrod going to the Ravens makes sense because there is a chance for him to actually start there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Tyrod I think ends up in Washington, Baltimore, Seattle, SD, Oak, Denver, Mia, or Jax. Potential to compete to start, at least for one year: Was, Mia, Jax or possibly Oak (ONLY if they traded Carr like some think they may try to do) All these teams are in transition at QB, could go with rookies and need a vet like Cleveland did last year. Oak, I think they may try and trade Carr and that could be to Giants, Mia, or Jax too...and if they do, then they are obviously drafting a QB then look at signing a veteran guy like TT the way Cleveland did last year, especially if they drafted Murray. Certain backup: Balt, Sea, SD, Denver, Oak. Similar styles in terms of his ability to run and lead a similar offense in Balt and Seattle. Although, Balt has (or had, not sure of his contract situation) RG3, so there may not be a need there. Seattle I don't think has a good backup, and Tyrod could be a guy that run the type of offense they run if Wilson got hurt and they even considered Kap at one point. SD has the Lynn connection and they dont have anything behind an older Rivers right now that can help them compete if Rivers misses a little time.

Albany,n.y. Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think he'll end up close to home. If Washington has any interest he'll sign there to start for at least this season. Otherwise, it's back to Baltimore as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Kase Keenum on the market (soon to be) I don't think Tyrod gets a whiff from anybody for starting this year. He's just awful. He's a good runner, but about the worst, most gutless passer I've ever had the displeasure of watching next to EJ Manuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely a market for TT given what has happened or going to happen this off season with the QB position, TT wants to be a starter so i look to the Jags, Redskins, Miami, all to be looking at a dependable QB that they know can be a starter & won't demand a bunch of cash to be a little bit better than some out there & TT might be that guy !!
