Handful of times...? Bruh... how many fingers you got on those hands. And guaranteed both the strength and nature of my feelings about Taylor have been misconstrued. If you don't believe me, tell me what you think everyone thinks and I'll tell you if you're right Glad you found the next Great White Hope... Watch out... Jones sounds like he's coming on...

May I ask why you bother? Your creepy stalking criticism of any of my commentary and effort to tie it back to a misconstrued obsession with Taylor you think I have is just as sad as the misconstrued obsession you think I have. Besides, truth doesn't change based on who says it...

48 pages and counting for a 5th round draft pick who has his work cut out just to make the team... amazing...

I think you're thinking we're on a different page when we aren't...

I agree, but those guys were successful in spite of their height, not because of it. Taylor is above 6 feet, so not a major issue. Did I latch? I made one comment and within it I said it could mean something or could mean nothing. Your hatred for Taylor seriously makes it virtually impossible to have an intelligent conversation with you about him. Well this is just offensive... really offensive...

And something that I thought was interesting... could mean little or could mean a lot. last week Taylor said this: this offense allows us to spread the ball around Did Roman and Lynn NOT let him spread it around? Was there a subtle jab at the offenses he played in the last two years?

Yes, height's a problem. Deeper drops might help. Maybe Dennison is going to make him move around within the pocket more rather than bootlegging outside the pocket.

I heard the interview on the Ryan Ruscillo show with the guy who wrote it. It seriously sounds like there are severe issues in that locker room in general.

What I think is interesting about those numbers in the article in particular is that there's something for both sides of the Taylor camp to agree on... On one side, Taylor breaks the pocket too often; and although some of those were warranted, others weren't. He did this at the highest percentage in the league at about 1% more than Aaron Rodgers, the next highest guy. On the other side, if Taylor can work on staying in the pocket a bit longer or a bit more, he's a pretty good pocket passer. That's really what I've seen in Taylor, too. Hopefully Dennison is really working with him on this.

I'm trying to abide by the generally frowned upon practice of starting any new QB threads, but I think people might be interested in this article posted a couple hours ago: Taylor's % of dropbacks where he broke the pocket and his numbers in and out of the pocket https://www.google.com/amp/www.buffalorumblings.com/platform/amp/2017/5/25/15689906/tyrod-taylor-buffalo-bills-in-pocket-passing-statistics

Well said. Pretty well captures how I feel this went down

Solid post. Pretty much the way I feel on the subject, too.

It's personal to call someone a hypocrite when they're being a hypocrite? Being a hypocrite is pretty easily, objectively, and clearly defined. It's not like calling someone an "idiot" or a "douchebag." He was clearly being a hypocrite. You have a weird definition of things "getting personal." Are you upset because I used the word "friggin?"

Where was I name calling? I don't think I've made this personal in any manner. I've just been talking about the issue and expressing my views. I think you're confusing pointing out incredible fallacies or ironies as a "personal attack," when it's nothing of the sort.

Wow... 2 days this thread was dying and you decide to bump it with this? Seems weird to me... almost like you want to keep this discussion going Not heated. Just hilarious how hypocritical some of the most adamantly and vocally critical posters are.

Nope, just pointing out pretty simple irony. An argument can't be right in one instance and wrong in another when it's the exact same argument. Continue with your vapid posts though.

Funny that "he said it, was he lying?" is an argument when it works but otherwise, it's "coach speak." MMQB: Is Buffalos quarterback of the future on the roster now? McDermott: He is, in Tyrod Taylor. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2017/05/15/buffalo-bills-sean-mcdermott-brandon-beane-nfl-peter-king?xid=socialflow_twitter_si

Yeah... darn fancy stats... only thing that matters for QBs are Wins and Losses!!!

Dude, was this even necessary...? Don't watch it, then. Why be so disrespectful? Anything can happen, but sounds like Taylor's the QB this year barring injury based on what we're hearing from McDermott, Dennison, and the players. So in reality Taylor's already been handed the job in that it's his to lose. Isn't that the case with most QBs? He's been handed the job but it's possible for him to lose it. Not all that different from most NFL QBs out there. Strongly disagree. Ball placement isn't really a problem for Taylor. It's anticipation and trusting his WRs he needs to get better at. But when he decides to throw a ball to a certain spot it gets to that spot more often than not.

In perception, yes I think he does. No one really talks about the Patriots D being the critical factor in that Super Bowl win or how awful Brady was for much of the game. It's what Brady did at the end to help them win that matters.

Before I click on this article and read it, I'm going to apologize in advance for what this thread will almost certainly devolve into. I hope I'm wrong. I'll be out all night so I'll check when I get back:

Find whatever you want unreasonable. When you accuse someone of being delusional, you're asking for exactly what this thread thread turned into.

Such a friggin hypocrite. "Stop talking about this subject so much! It's spamming and grounds for an infraction!" "They gone... ?" "Man, those guys are delusional idiots and here's why... again"

I'm not going to respond, but posts like this is why I keep posting on the subject. It's a thoughtful post. But one with which I disagree in some parts, and those parts are the ones that are presented in a condescending manner. Why has this thread continued and why have I continued posting on the subject? Because I'm not a buffoon and posts like this paint me as one because of my opinion, which you disagree with so strongly you decide to paint the likes of me and John as idiots because we disagree. And you can't call me a hypocrite in this case because I've said time and time again that I understand your position because it's reasonable, but I disagree. And I've explained why. Reasonably. And still you paint us as idiots. That's why this conversation keeps going. It's not spamming. It's because we aren't the idiots you paint us as and our position even on this subject you disagree with is not idiotic. And you're part of keeping this going, too.

You say bottom tier, I think he's closer to the middle than the bottom tier. But even saying Taylor is a top 15-20 QB somehow puts you in the stupid CoT that some whacko over here came up with. And I'll say again, I think he's earned 1 more season before a final and relatively accurate evaluation of what he is. 29 starts with a ton of instability in those starts between changing OCs, a revolving door at WR, an often porous OL, HC issues, and a defense that wasn't very good.
