HailMary Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Interesting perspective on Taylor. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Ravens-Can-Win-Games-With-Tyrod-Taylor/03fee6c2-b305-4d94-8c70-409cc8ef8fc9
Saxum Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 BTW the columnist is very weak on QB history. There have been a number of backups who took their teams to Superbowl.
tennesseeboy Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Interesting perspective on Taylor. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Eisenberg-Ravens-Can-Win-Games-With-Tyrod-Taylor/03fee6c2-b305-4d94-8c70-409cc8ef8fc9 Interesting and I hope Taylor gets a chance to show his stuff here in Buffalo. I don't understand the reporter saying no one has stepped in after an injury and had a productive season. Kurt Warner and (gag!) Tom Brady stepped in and won superbowls and Matt Cassell had a great season when Brady went down early. I don't think its all THAT rare.
Protocal69 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 **** we lost a superbowl to a backup QB (Hostellier) who replaced Phil Simms who was injured during the year
DDD Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Who is Tyrod Taylor? Seriously, this guy has done nothing in the NFL. If you think this guy is going to come and win games you are being a blindass fan. He's this years Tavares Jackson.

Bookie Man Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 BTW the columnist is very weak on QB history. There have been a number of backups who took their teams to Superbowl. Umm yeah Hostetler and Kurt Warner off the top of my head to name a few.
Stranded in Boston Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Who is this John Eisenberg whippersnapper -- does he think that football only started in Baltimore with the Ravens? What about Earl Morrall -- not once, but twice: he subbed for Johnny Unitas in guiding the Colts to an NFL championship in 1968 (en route to SB III), and then did it again for the 1972 Dolphins. I recall Morrall won 10 or 11 games subbing for Bob Griese in '72, including in the playoffs.
billsgpr88 Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 surprised I haven't seen this on TBD yet, Ray Lewis has some strong praise for Taylor
Prickly Pete Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 He may not know "QB history", but he knows a lot more about Tyrod than the average poster here.
Lurker Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I don't think its all THAT rare. Two guys since 2000-01?? What do you consider 'rare?'
boyst Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 surprised I haven't seen this on TBD yet, Ray Lewis has some strong praise for Taylor ray lewis endorsing g someone does not mean anything. He is a baffoon who will say anything about any one. Reminds me of a fire andbrimstone preacher.
Dibs Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Two guys since 2000-01?? What do you consider 'rare?' I actually think that once every 7 years for a guy to go from backup nobody to superstar in the most important position in team sports is pretty astounding. It happens enough to give everyone hope when there seemingly isn't any.
YoloinOhio Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Interesting that a play they reference he made last year (deep throw to Deonte Thompson) is the same one they highlighted he made this year in OTAs (DT is a Bill now)
Buffaloed in Pa Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Who is Tyrod Taylor? Seriously, this guy has done nothing in the NFL. If you think this guy is going to come and win games you are being a blindass fan. He's this years Tavares Jackson. Exactly,that and quicksand Fred..
Observer Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 He and Marcus Easley will combine for 200 receptions!
Cynical Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 BTW the columnist is very weak on QB history. There have been a number of backups who took their teams to Superbowl. He's not only weak on QB history, he seems to be weak on Raven history, When the Ravens won their first SB, Tony Banks was actually the starter when the regular season opened up. Trent Dilfer was the back up. Granted, Banks was benched because of poor play, but it is another example of the back up QB taking over for the starter and leading the team to a SB.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Interesting and I hope Taylor gets a chance to show his stuff here in Buffalo. I don't understand the reporter saying no one has stepped in after an injury and had a productive season. Kurt Warner and (gag!) Tom Brady stepped in and won superbowls and Matt Cassell had a great season when Brady went down early. I don't think its all THAT rare. Let's also not forget Kaepernick. He didn't beat out Alex Smith until Smith went down. I don't think that anyone is expecting Taylor to be Brady, or Rodgers. We might hope that he can be Carson Palmer with some mobility.
YoloinOhio Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Exactly,that and quicksand Fred..How's the crusade going these days?
Best Player Available Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 Two guys since 2000-01?? What do you consider 'rare?' A bills playoff game
