Tyrod Taylor tells the media that the chargers will turn heads if He’s the one calling the shots

[BuffaloBills1998]

Don’t get me wrong, Tyrod’s a nice guy and I appreciate all his efforts he gave while playing here but he’s gotta be a little realistic lol. Kennan Allen’s gonna be pissed when his numbers drop cause their gonna be a power run first team.

Not beating up on him, I just think that’s a ridiculous claim, plus my ex fiancés team is the Chargers so I’m very happy that they’re gonna be in rebuild mode

[MJS]

He probably will turn some heads and everyone will talk about how great he is at not turning the ball over, but at the end of the day he doesn't have the upside necessary to do anything of note in the NFL.

 

Still, when you think about it, Tyrod is one of the better QB's in Bills history.

I’m gonna have to disagree with that. While we didn’t make the playoffs with him Ryan Fitzpatrick was a better QB than Tyrod. I’m not a hater but no bills QB frustrated me more than Tyrod. I rooted for him but I knew even in his first year he wasn’t the answer and that Rex and Whaley were being lazy on the QB position. 

[StHustle]

It's also possible he is alot more productive in his second opportunity. Don't discount a guy who's main issue is being gun shy. That's actually correctable.

Good for him.

 

Go get ‘em, Tyrod.

 

Oh, and thanks for helping us end the drought. Class act.

Uhhh. Why?

 

I'd like to think we all wish him well, but I envision this thread going off the rails. 

 

Again. Why?

He's not better when you look at wins or stats, so I don't know how he can be considered better than Tyrod. You probably like Fitz more because he took risks. He was a gunslinger. But he was also a losing QB who took risks when he shouldn't have and made the worst mistakes at the worst possible moments.

 

But honestly, Fitzpatrick is up there too as far as Bills QB's go, but competent QB's in a Bills uniform is a short list.

 

FYI, I agree that Tyrod was frustrating to watch. I was more than ready to move on from him.

[IgotBILLStopay]

He won’t cost em wins with his arm but... he won’t get em any either. The team will rise or fall depending on how their defense and run game perform.

 

Let us not diss on him too much - in open competition he showed he was better than EJ Manuel but worse than Baker Mayfield.

I agree with you on Fitz, definitely was a gunslinger and did throw a lot of INTS at the wrong times. But he took more chances than Tyrod did and put his team in a better position to win more than Tyrod did. I am a Fitz fan definitely. Loved the guy when he played here, good locker room guy and a leader on and off the field. Minus him having a noodle arm there’s really not much bad things to say about Fitzpatrick. I didn’t care for Tyrod too much because minus a few good games he would have he really didn’t strike me as a rah rah type of QB that we desperately needed when he was here. Also didn’t like the fact that Whaley and company allowed themselves to be muscled into signing Tyrod to a 6 year deal, because of tyrods agent demanding that he get a new deal after 2015 or that they would want to look into trade opportunities for another team. I think we should’ve let Tyrod go after 15 and rolled with a different QB in 16. People wanna credit Lynn for what he did with Tyrod in 16 when he was calling plays out of Romans playbook. I wish him the best but it’s pretty obvious he’s not a starter. I compare Tyrod to David Woodley, an athlete trying to play QB

As opposed to what? Him not having any confidence and saying the team is in bad shape with him? 
 

Good for him and good luck to Tyrod

[bouds]

Worry less about how well/poor Tyrod does, and worry more about the the way Allen plays for the Bills.  He was below average last year by every metric.  Fortunately for him the front office has gone out of its way to surround him with a good offense, now it's up to Allen.  I mean, Allen has yet to have a better statistical season than Tyrod, so again, worry about Allen.

We ended the drought in spite of him not because of him, threw a total of only 2,000 yards and 14 tds the whole year. That defense and Shady were the reasons we broke the drought that year also Andy Dalton was responsible as well

What are you talking about Allen played better last year than his rookie year. He’s making strides and progress. Would take Allen over Tyrod in a heartbeat. And his stats have been Better than tyrods last 2-3 years.

Tuhrod on the last drive against the Jags.  <drops the mike>

I used to turn my head too. And when I turned it back invariably Tyrod still hadn't thrown the ball and was doing that cute running around in a circle thing.

I don't need metrics for me to know which one of the two I'd prefer to follow out on to the field every Sunday.

Nor do I.    He doesn't play here anymore.      We get enough ***** posts about the Bills, which are more than sufficient to clog the TSW plumbing...

[papazoid]

part of leadership is acting with confidence. what do you expect him to say...we're screwed if i'm the starter ?

 

having said that, the chargers will be drafting a qb in the first round, unless they get jumped in draft. at best he will be a seat warmer.

 

dont feel sorry for TT, he's easy to cheer for and has done very well financially with over $50 mil in career earnings.

What's he supposed to say?  He wants to be the starting QB and has confidence in himself.  Wouldn't every QB?

I still can’t believe that the Browns gave us a 3rd round pick for him.

Not just a 3rd round pick...... the FIRST pick in the 3rd round.

[aristocrat]

does this virus attack your brain?

[RalphWilson'sNewWar]

Absolutely.  Chargers rank as near the top if not the top team for a 2020 turnaround.

 

They are, after all only one season removed from a 13-5 season in 2018.

 

With a 2019 season that watched them go 5-11 with 9 games lost by 7 or less points, 5 of those games really being 4th quarter loses...

 

for sure they could win 3-4 more games in 2020 and be the 6th or 7th seed in the AFC Playoffs.

[AlCowlingsTaxiService]

Yes they will .... they will look away with indifference while searching for their next quarterback 

[Paup 1995MVP]

With Tyrod at QB in the playoff game against Jacksonville we crossed midfield one time.  And scored 3 pts.  Enuf said about him being a good QB.  He is fun to watch scramble.  But overall has a very low ceiling.  Take away the bootleg and throwing to the TE dragging late across the short middle of the field and what does he have left?

Why not?  He is the sole reason we didn't make the playoffs those years.  And he was absolutely terrible the one year he lucked into the playoffs.  "But he didn't turn the ball over"  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Too bad he didn't score either.  In my mind a drive that ends with no points, which he excelled at, is just as bad as a turnover.  How did Sammy, Woods, and Goodwin look after they left?  He had the weapons available.  He just refused to take any chances at all.

 

He looked horrendous in Cleveland too.

 

Just because he was a nice guy with some great style, doesn't mean he is immune from criticism.

Beane makes John Dillinger look like a piker.  He robbed them blind on that deal.  

[BillsFan17]

That's the riskiest thing hes done in his career. T Mobile, get after it!

[H2o]

First off, I have no ill will towards Tyrod. He was a good guy, a great teammate by all accounts, and a class act while he was here in Buffalo. Despite his flaws as a QB, he was the QB that led the team to their first playoff berth in 17 years. We all know what those flaws were, but there is no sense in bashing him for them now. He served this team fairly well in his time here, we got a GREAT return for him, and now he's with Anthony Lynn in LA. Best wishes to Tyrod who has done well for himself and his family in the NFL.

 

If Tyrod does end up being the starter for the Chargers this year they have a team where he could be semi-successful. They already have a more than solid defense in place and they have some quality weapons on offense. The offensive line still needs some work, but Tyrod is an extremely mobile QB. He's not going to all of a sudden turn into a superstar, but he can be effective. If they remain relatively healthy then they could be competing for a WC spot in the AFC.

This is just a terrible analysis; sorry. The Bills had their highest ranked scoring teams in 2015 and 2016 this century and two of their very worst defenses as measured by DVOA.

Fitz was/is the ultimate pendulum quarterback. When he is on his game, he's likely one of the top 5 QBs in the league. When he is off his game he is likely one of the bottom 5 QBs. It just so happens that you never know when good/bad Fitz would come out and therefore it was hard to build a consistent offense around him. With Tyrod, albeit very conservative, you knew exactly what you were getting every play.
