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.

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.

T Jack actually had a track record. He's his year's Brian Brohm

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
