Snowflake!!

Oh. My. God! This is brilliant! Now that I look at it like THAT... ...he still drives me nuts by holding the ball too long and refuses to take chances with his throws and cannot win a game when required to throw the average number of NFL pass attempts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKN1K2He8yg

In looking at this, imo PFF does not place nearly enough value in "big time throw percentage" and "time to throw." And they probably put too much value in "turnover worthy throw percentage". This helps Taylor's PFF grade immensely.

Fun fact: the city of San Diego has never won a world championship, nor have the Clippers. #BuffaloCurse

If the head coach and many front office figures covered up the actions of a serial pedophile assistant coach who was raping children inside the facilities then I would certainly be done with the team. Of course, many here aren't done with Ped State and they still somehow convince recruits to go there and they pack the stadium every Saturday so I'm sure the franchise would recover because human beings can rationalize anything if it's in their own self-interest. But I would be done, personally.

How so? One is playing extremely well as a rookie and is devastated at one of his few poor plays, vowing to perfect his craft. The other is struggling but seems to think a 3-2 record is just dandy and only hears criticism because of prejudice.

Compare these quotes from White to our starting quarterback's... “Man, we’re a couple plays away from being 5-0,” he says, smiling again. “So, why would I listen to the negative stuff?”

This kid is definitely a process addict.

What are you talking about? We just signed Deonte Thompson!

Let's hope he doesn't develop into a Hall of Famer or something.

Deonte Thompson, now Seamster. Bringing the old band back together!

This isn't college. Tyrod wouldn't last two games.

The Tyrod Taylor Troupe would all be posting in this thread defending him to the death but they're busy attacking Benoit right now, probably.

One of my all-time favorite players at Syracuse. The ultimate villain but a great, loyal teammate.

Tyrod would be held to a lower standard if this was true, as already stated in this thread.

So you wanted them to go through the season without an offensive coordinator? Just let the players run Roman's and Lynn's offense by memory?

This thread title typo ('...better the Tyrod') bothers me more every time I see it bumped on the front page.

At the time, Taylor was running the best system possible for a running quarterback with limited passing skills. In fact, Roman's system that he installed in Buffalo may be the only NFL offensive system that could result in adequate production with a passing-challenged quarterback like Taylor. This season has been a bit of a perfect storm: the Shanahan system that is the foundation of what Dennison does requires an NFL quarterback that can pass the ball well. That combined with an offensive line taking time acclimating to a new blocking scheme, a slight downgrade at receiver, and the development of Taylor as a pocket passer (no read-option) has resulted in an offense that has fallen from #10 in DVOA efficiency in 2016 to a current ranking of 23rd (rushing offense from #1 to #28).

Very well-stated, rational post. Thanks.

By the end of the first weekend in January 2018, the Patriots will have won the division by six games and three of the four division teams will have losing records.

A few more stats you left out by mistake... Sack Percentage: 11. Bortles - 5.6 14. Flacco - 6.1 20. Hoyer - 7.2 32. Taylor - 11.7 Passing yards per game: 24. Hoyer - 207.5 28. Taylor - 182.0 29. Bortles - 178.0 32. Flacco - 167.2 Touchdowns: T14. Bortles - 8 T23. Taylor - 6 T27. Flacco - 4 T27. Hoyer - 4

Tough to blame McDermott for this. It was Roman's system, yet Roman was already fired. You really think Roman was coming back here to be the OC again after getting fired four months prior? Anthony Lynn landed a HC job with the Chargers. So obviously he was off the table. I guess they could have promoted Kromer to OC but maybe McDermott didn't feel comfortable giving a grown man who throws lawn chairs at kids a big role on his coaching staff.

If he's requesting a trade from the Steelers then that's already a red flag.
