uticaclub Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Kind of an out of the box idea, but what if we made EJ the closer. Where he comes in at the end of the 4th to pull out games. In his second game he had led a come from behind TD drive against the Panthers and should of had another one against the Falcons. Tyrod can do alot of things, one of them isn't putting the team on his back and pulling out a victory in the 4th, he's not that kind of QB.

MAJBobby Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Whats Funny and sad at the same time. EJ is just as accurate as Tyrod and he gets killed for it, but Tyrod gets excuses made for him
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 You must've missed the end of the 49ers game. 0/2 with 1 bouncing off a linebacker's chest.

MAJBobby Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 You must've missed the end of the 49ers game. 0/2 with 1 bouncing off a linebacker's chest. Interesting Stat of the day. EJ Bad pass percentage in 2014 (17.64%) Tyrod currently (22.4%) and last year was (17.62%).... Numbers support my statement

The EJ ship has sailed, that's for sure, but he's not nearly as bad as most people think.

Numbers support my statement get back to me when you check turnovers Here's a post I made before the season started, check the TD/Turnover part OK EJ Manuel Tyrod Taylor 16 Games Started 14 Games Started 19 Passing TD's 20 Passing TD's 4 Rushing TD's 4 Rushing TD's 1.44 TD's per Game 1.71 TD's per Game 15 INT's 6 INT's 4 Fumbles Lost 1 Fumble Lost 1.19 Turnovers per Game 0.5 Turnovers per Game 1.21 TD/Turnover Ratio 3.43 TD/Turnover Ratio ~211 Passing Yards per Game ~217 Passing Yards per Game 6.47 Yards per Attempt 7.99 Yards per Attempt 59.12% Completion Rate 63.68% Completion Rate 298 Rushing Yards (18.6 per Game) 568 Rushing Yards (40.6 per Game) 78.5 QB Rating 99.4 QB Rating 7 Games under 30 Attempts (5-2 record) 9 Games under 30 Attempts (8-1 record) 9 Games 30+ Attempts (1-8 record) 5 Games 30+ Attempts (0-5 record) Overall Record: 6-10 Overall Record: 8-6 0 300+ Passing Yard Games 0 300+ Passing Yard Games 0 3+ Passing TD Games* 4 3+ Passing TD Games *EJ did have a 3 TD game against Jax in 2013 if you count his rushing TD

Manuel has factually let game winning drives and comebacks for the team. Taylor has been terrible at it. With that said, this isn't baseball. I think quarterbacks need time to get into the flow of games to be able to more quickly read what defenses are giving up and what they're not. I can't fathom a situation where you would play a guy up until 5 minutes left in the game and then bring in a new QB to try to win the game when you're down by a score. It's a novel concept none the less.

Numbers support my statement EJ lifetime completion % 59%, Yards/Attempt: 6.45 Int% 2.9% TT lifetime completion % 62% Yards/Attempt: 7.47 Int% 1.6%
Kirby Jackson Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 This is a stupider idea than trading Mario for Skelton. Thanks for wasting 30 seconds of my life.
MAJBobby Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 EJ lifetime completion % 59%, Yards/Attempt: 6.45 Int% 2.9% TT lifetime completion % 62% Yards/Attempt: 7.47 Int% 1.6% Nice try though completion % doesn't mean Accuracy get back to me when you check turnovers Here's a post I made before the season started, check the TD/Turnover part I know EJ had more Turnovers. However a turnover can be the result of a Bad pass, a tipped ball that the WR dropped. I was talking accuracy and found it interesting that TT and EJ have every similar Bad Pass numbers Hence interesting stat of the day
Buffalo Boy Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Neither is a starting caliber QB at this level. EJ does seem to do better when he is unscripted. Whatever magic/ spark we saw two summers ago from TT is clearly gone, like Edwards after his concussion. This is why we need to lose out and draft a QB

Just in Atlanta Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 You guys are looking a gift horse in the mouth. I see nothing that points to Taylor being a bad closer. He needs improvement with establishing passing rhythm, needs to establish the timing game and needs to hit more medium-distance passes, sure, but he most definitely passes the eye test for this fan and has yet to dissolve at the last minute under pressure. He scored in like 20 seconds last week at the last minute, and made a two point conversion. He's also elite-level when it comes to not giving the ball away. Teams that use two QBs have never been successful in this league.
