What a Tuel Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) IMO the problem is when we lose and Taylor doesn't play well it is because he is just not a franchise QB. That may or may not be the case. But when we win and he doesn't play well it becomes winning like this is unsustainable. So unless he plays lights out, and has great stats, and we win, nothing is good enough, even when he makes extraordinary plays. The time to criticize him is after a game we needed him to play well and hit more passes and we lost, like, say, the Ravens game. The time not to criticize him is when we score 30 points on the road on the west coast against a good defense and he throws two TDs and no turnovers and we win by 11 points. That is sustainable. If he does that every road game we win every road game. It's not about stats. I would trade no turnovers for 75-100 yards, easily. Very good point. The other argument that doesn't make sense is that we have to go in another direction to get the ideal "pocket passer" so we can be the Patriots, Packers, or Falcons (who knew). We don't have that pocket passer, and there isn't one in free agency. So that isn't an option, so stop arguing for it and trust Whaley to keep his options open while keeping the team competitive.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Very good point.

Exactly. Less than one third of the teams in the league have that guy. Not to mention that if we had last year's offense led by TT and this or 2014's defense, we are in the playoffs.
