Maury Ballstein Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I've always been in favor of kicking the tires on Taylor "Swift" We going with this ? Let me know. I'll do my part.
Mr. WEO Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 It's actually pretty typical around here. OP throws out a "what if" that isn't over the top and makes some interesting points/comparisons. The knee-jerk "you're an idiot" dismissals come next as posters pick one aspect of the post and make it seem as though the OP said something he didn't (i.e., that TT > RW). Thankfully there are also a few reasonable responses. And at the end of the day, the Bills' FO did exactly what the OP suggested and now TT has his shot. Well done, moshermw. That was me. "Seem"? The OP's inference in the Wilson comparison also "seemed" pretty clear.
Tenhigh Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 We going with this ? Let me know. I'll do my part.How about 'Swift Taylor'?
BuffaloHokie13 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 We going with this ? Let me know. I'll do my part. No, definitely not
mikef272002 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Dear Lord..... I seen the same post last year about Jeff Tuel.... Just say'en... The guy played 1qtr! Lets all relax, breath, and let it all play out, not one single QB on our roster is going to be the next Manning, Wilson, Vick, Brady , Rodgers, or anything close to those.. Hopefully 1 of them can just manage the game and make some plays here and there.. Everyone thought Tuel was the next franchise QB last year after 1qtr of preseason games..

You do realize this is an original post from January, like 2 months before Tyrod was even on the Bills, right?

Maury Ballstein Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 No, definitely not I mean we are gonna need to better than TT. I'll be in Hampton later, I'll ask the fellas on the street to help me find a better one.
Chandler#81 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Good dig-up, HoFWatkins! Yes, pure gold. It's now in your hands Tyrod. Best wishes from all of us!
eball Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 That was me. "Seem"? The OP's inference in the Wilson comparison also "seemed" pretty clear. Take your time finding any portion of the OP's posts in which he says or infers TT is better than RW. He says they have similar styles and comparisons should not be avoided.

He says they have similar styles and comparisons should not be avoided. He enticed us to make (somewhat silly) comaparisons to WIlson's entire game and opined he might even be more elusive that RW. HE also saw fit for some reason to point out that he was "2-0" agaisnt RW in college. That wasn't hard...

HE also saw fit for some reason to point out that he was "2-0" agaisnt RW in college. That wasn't hard... Fact: TT is faster than Wilson Fact: TT's teams went 2-0 vs. Wilson's teams in college Somebody's jumping to conclusions, and it wasn't the OP.

Tyrod likely is more elusive than RW and going 2-0 is a fact. All that means is that he isnt a scrub and in no-way implies hes better than him at QB. If hes going to be successful the RW mold is what he has to try to fit so its completely correct to make comparisons to their styles of play.

Prickly Pete Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) It's actually pretty typical around here.

Yeah, but that is one of the things that makes the board fun. Most people here with any kind of strong opinions, are going to be way off sometimes. I remembered this thread, and thought moshermw deserved some recognition, he was tuned in to the zeitgeist of OBD. Edited August 18, 2015 by HoF Watkins
qblax16 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 So I just checked out some combine measurements for purely athletic stuff... Tyrod beats Marriota in every category. What does it mean... not much, but thought I'd share. I'd like to see how there passing stats compare more so than the athleticism, but haven't looked too hard.
bowery4 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I remember this thread! Hey good work moshermw!
