26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 @theMMQB 'Is Tyrod Taylor The Guy?' In the last story of our Corridor of Woe series, @JennyVrentas on Buffalo's QB quandary. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2015/12/16/tyrod-taylor-buffalo-bills-nfl-rex-ryan-doug-whaley-jim-kelly He is the Buffalo Bills’ 15th starting quarterback since Jim Kelly took his final NFL snap 19 years ago. With every game he plays and every throw he makes, Western New York wonders if the search for their next franchise QB might finally be over, or if it will be time to turn the page again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorkington Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 He needs to improve on the short/intermediate quick pass game, otherwise I'm content with him for now. Our defense is the major problem this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 For a guy with 0 career starts coming into the year, he has been great. I believe that he will develop into a very good QB. He's basically a rookie on the field. Do we want to start over again with a rookie next year? I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taterthegator Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Reflecting upon this season, I don't believe Tyrod Taylor is even in the top 5 reasons why the Bills flopped this year. If anything, he was refreshing. If we have to sit through another "experiment" I will cancel the Directv experience and just read about the season so I don't get my hopes up again.

SoFFacet Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Coming into the year people were thinking that if TT would just not lose us games, the rest of the team would carry him. Instead, TT was the best thing about the Bills this year, and most of the rest of the team flopped. If we could have changed absolutely nothing from last year's team except Orton --> TT, we would have made the playoffs this year, which were basically handed to us on a silver platter by the AFC South / NFC East schedule.

papazoid Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 TT is absolutely worth keeping. if TT gets injured, the season is OVER !!.......that can't be said about any other player on this team. therefore, they better get another qb as good or better.

Taylor made? I'm in on the kid and expect significant improvement next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 exactly the right approach IMO No doubt it is. Here's the full quote. You watch for progress, general manager Doug Whaley said on his way out of the visitors’ locker room Sunday afternoon. The Bills have seen progress, enough that they are prepared to give Taylor a second year under center. On a trial basis, of course. They will likely wait until the end of a second season, Whaley added, to make any determinations about Taylor’s future here. “Is he the long-term starter?” Whaley says. “Let’s put it this way: He’s shown us enough that we can obviously keep trying with him. But it won’t preclude us from going out and protecting ourselves [in case] he’s not.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepthefaith Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 TT is not the problem with this team. He's done a very good job IMO. The defense has often underachieved based on expectations. Expectations that were based on last year with a nearly identical defensive roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) exactly the right approach IMOSure, unless Taylor has a great 2016 and decides he doesn't want to play in Buffalo. There will be teams lining up for him. Why stay with a team that doesn't believe in him? Edited December 16, 2015 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 No doubt it is. Here's the full quote. yeah. Draft a guy of course if he's there in the draft, but I am assuming no one that's any good will drop to the Bills customary 15 to 20 draft slot. Maybe Kaepernick, maybe other FAs. who knows. I for one don't want some raw rookie at QB, might as well blow it all up (again) if you're doing that, and wait another 3-5 years. Let his knee heal up and Go with TT next year for sure. He's earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsVet Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Taylor's got to use the middle of the field or he becomes a one-trick pony similar to Losman. Perhaps it's Rex/Roman not featuring those plays to make up for Taylor's shortcomings as a younger QB, but you become predictable offensively if every pass is short or down the sideline. Gailey tried that with Fitz and it was quickly figured out. You still draft a QB high in 2016 regardless. That goes against Buffalo's previous mantra which preached one guy at a time and hope they develop, but that plan hasn't worked in more than a decade.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 For me its simpe, TT deserves a contract similar to what the Bills gave Fitzpatrick He has earned it CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
