blacklabel Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Yeah, given the way Herbert has played today I'd keep him in there for good. He's the guy sooner or later anyway. He's looked pretty solid today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCockSportif Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I wouldn't say that I was overjoyed with Tyrod when he played here, but in comparison to most of the QBs who I've seen here play since 1974, or I guess more specifically since 2000, he was stable enough so that the team could acquire other pieces. I wish the guy the best, and I think that any rational Bills' fan knew that Tyrod was just keeping the seat warm, in particular after a coaching/FO change, until a new QB was drafted.

The only major difference is Allen has major ball security issues. My dad hates the NFL. The only time he'll watch it is when I'm back in WNY for a visit, and staying through Monday if it's a Sunday game. Even my dad watched Tyrod, silently, for like 3 hours, and finally towards the end of the game against the Chiefs, he asked what was wrong with the QB.

But will he ever get the job back, likely not. Do think it put KC in a tough spot preparing all week for a different type of QB. By the time the Bills play Chargers, there will be plenty of tape on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the guy sooner or later anyway. He's looked pretty solid today. Poor Tyrod. I mean, we all know he's nothing special. A good game manager with the ability to make some big plays, mostly with his legs. But to have two post-Bills starting opportunities both end after one game? That's just bad luck. And if you watched today's game you saw that Justin Herbert was one of those rare rookie QBs who seems to get it from his very first series. Those guys usually become stars. I'd be surprised if Tyrod ever starts another game, barring injury to Herbert or whatever 1st stringer he plays behind for the remainder of his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Tyrod is 24-21-1 as a starter. Fitzpatrick: 55-85-1 Barkley: 2-5-0 Other luminaries: Jeff Driskel (came in for Denver today): 1-7-0 Brian Hoyer: 16-22-0 Just sayin' ... the bar isn't very high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrod came out and eked out a win against a very bad Bengals team with some Josh Allen rookie season numbers. Herbert stood toe-to-toe with the reigning Super Bowl champs and was one boneheaded play away from pulling it out, completing 2/3rds of his passes for 300+ yards 1 TD 1 INT. I get that nobody likes to give away a starting position due to injury, but sometimes it has to happen when the results speak for themselves. See: Prescott, Dak. Yeah Herbert hasn't won a bunch of games yet but not nobody can tell me they watched the Chargers' first two games and think that they should be passing on opportunities to give their rookie meaningful snaps after the way he played Sunday.

I agree. I'm sure we all agree. Probably so does Anthony Lynn. And the rest of the Chargers team. It's a stupid "unwritten rule". But they are going to stick to their code since they want to avoid any culture fall-outs occurring around the locker room if you start giving away starting jobs to injury.

That's a fair point and one I can agree with. But those vets in the locker room would also have to think "What happens to me if I get a fluke injury in warm ups?". Then you start sowing the seeds of distrust. The "right" way to manage this is to allow Tyrod to come back and then make the switch right after.
