Chilly Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 You people DO understand that our offensive line pass blocking wise is a miserable disaster, our receiving corps is made of GLASS, our best player on offense is also injured not to mention our defensive backs are absolutely disgusting, right?! This is exactly how I see it as well.
metzelaars_lives Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Not trolling, guys. I'm not saying EJ is a great QB. I'm saying he's better than Tyrod. Every starter in the NFL is better than Tyrod. And some backups. Including ours. But he's not though, that's the thing.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 But he's not though, that's the thing. No? Taylor's pretty godawful.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 It's actually 197 for the only season he started (his rookie season). TT is in his 6th year and currently has a 185 YPG, by the way. TT is in his second year as a starter... you don't get to pick and choose which stats to apply.
Gugny Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 But he's not though, that's the thing. That's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that EJ is a better QB than Tyrod.
Dr. K Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Would love it, but I've moved on. The EJ ship has sailed. We didn't develop him and honestly most of the blame goes to the selfish Marrone move to completely disregard our future in favor of a retired QB. I do find it amusing though the amount of excuses that Tyrod gets, when EJ had about as much slack as an inch worm. For pure hypocrisy's sake...in the infamous Jags game, our starting WRs were Woods, Easley and Danarius Moore. I Never saw a single person complain about the WRs (as they shouldn't have). If Taylor played with 1/10th the heart that EJ has I think maybe I'd actually feel like we could cross the 50 yard line late in games. This. I think EJ should be extremely glad to get out of Buffalo, and I think he has a good chance to become a starting QB and succeed on another team.
Mr. WEO Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Am I the only one that can see clearly he's trolling? No see my post above yours. It's not even clever trolling because it's so obviously ridiculous.
Chilly Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) No? Taylor's pretty godawful. Bills weapons on offense vs New England: Tyrod Taylor's legs. Bills weapons on offense vs Seattle: Tyrod Taylor's legs Shady McCoy (maybe) I don't see how removing Tyrod Taylor's legs helps. EJ isn't a threat to run, we have no one to catch a pass.

fridge Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 TT is in his second year as a starter... you don't get to pick and choose which stats to apply. This is glorious. Never has someone used fewer words to completely contradict themselves.
Reed83HOF Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 It's all really simple - we still don't have a QB. TT is a QB that needs great players around him to cover his flaws; EJ as much as I like the guy was a huge reach in an awful class and he flat out sucks. If we didn't grab him, we could have went after Carr in 2014

Woods, Easley and Moore looks like a dream team compared to what we fielded yesterday: hobbled Woods, a couple quarters of Powell, Hunter, concussed Tate and...RUNNING BACK REGGIE BUSH IN THE SLOT (also injured).
Santana Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 EJ Manuel sucks, stop it already with the "he's better than Tyrod" bullcrap. It's seriously the dumbest argument ever. Can't even believe this is actually being talked about in a serious manner.

metzelaars_lives Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 That's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that EJ is a better QB than Tyrod. Taylor is 12-10 as a starter; Manuel 6-10. Taylor is decidedly better than Manuel with respect to every conceivable passing statistic there is used to measure a QB's performance. Taylor is also the most elusive and dynamic running QB in the NFL. Taylor's receiving corps yesterday consisted of a hobbled Robert Woods, Walt Powell, Brandon Tate and Justin Hunter. He was good enough in his first season as a starter that he has earned and deserves a look with a real receiving corps next season (Watkins + 1st round pick + Alshon Jeffrey). If he still struggles with real weapons, it would be time to move on. But not to EJ Manuel, who is a career backup and will be on another team anyway.
fridge Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Is this seriously an argument? It's like arguing which was the better Jaws sequel. Perfect analogy! They're all so wonderfully crappy. Let me try: Jaws 2: EJ Manuel is definitely Jaws 2. There are a lot of deaths, most of the series. Jaws 3D: Tyrod Taylor. Crazy idea of a film. Overly ambitious. All flash, no substance - but man oh man, it was in 3D! Jaws 4: Kyle Orton. I've never seen it, but Michael Caine only acted in it for the money.
John from Riverside Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 That's a matter of opinion. My opinion is that EJ is a better QB than Tyrod. You are certainly welcome to your opinion
fridge Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 You are certainly welcome to your opinion I'd argue that most people have been unwelcoming to this opinion.
ChanOverChin Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 No. Just because the Taylor-led Bills couldn't handle the Brady-led pats doesn't mean that they can't handle the rest of the NFL. The Bills need to get healthy. Taylor needs his weapons back. He needs McCoy. He needs Watkins. He needs a healthy R. Woods and C. Clay. Then let's see what happens.
Chilly Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I've said it in other threads: THE problem with TT is that he needs EVERYTHING around him to be working properly to aspire to average. So, when one thing goes south, he does too. I'm not convinced as TT as a long-term QB, I don't know if he's good enough because he's not a QB that can win a shootout and you need that sometimes in the NFL. I do know he's the best option we have right now. Guys like EJ are even more dependent. EJ can't escape pressure like Tyrod does and EJ doesn't have the threat that TT's legs do. Right now, even if EJ was a better passer, we have zero weapons to take advantage of it. The state of the offense is dire and it starts with the worst WR group in the entire NFL. We have zero weapons outside of Sammy and Sammy is hurt.
