SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 If TT needs Sammy and only Sammy..... what does that really say?
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 See this is the same crap for 21 years. Bills fans fighting to make crap QB's better than they are. We have fielded crap for the entire time TT is no different. It's past time to cut the crap and get a legit QUARTERBACK in here via using a high draft pick I pray hard Beane finally does this and, unlike every previous GM, finally addresses the most important position. In pro sports. ...that would be April 2018....so what do we do in the interim, forfeit?.....let's hear your 2017 SOLUTION before we mail it in via FED EX.....yip...yap...yip...yap....YAWN.....
Fadingpain Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 This isn't news. It was obvious in preseason to anyone that has a clue that they were working on stuff. He will play football this week. He will move around and try to be a playmaker. The hope was to clean up some fundamentals without sacrificing his playmaking ability (just sacrificing his playmakers). They took the preseason to try to clean that up. Ha! Do the obvious observations in pre-season include things like having plenty of time to throw on certain plays, finding a wide open receiver, and then missing that receiver by 3 yards? What was he working on there? His EJ impersonation? His past obvious flaws remain his current obvious flaws. Tyrod must be considered mediocre at best until he proves otherwise. We'll see.
HappyDays Posted September 9, 2017 Author Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) The Bills were 7th in the 15 games that Tyrod played. Bortles played an extra game and turned it over more than twice as often. They racked up garbage time points like nobody's business. If you don't think QB play is important in points per game I don't know what to tell you. They touch the ball on every play. 3rd most offensive TDs when Tyrod played and he's the only player that we've lost every game he's been out, including 2 easily winnable games. He has more touches than any other player on the offense, obviously. People who don't want to give him credit for the offense's success and wins are being disingenuous.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 If TT needs Sammy and only Sammy..... what does that really say? ...to me?....uh oh.......processing the entire field in <5 seconds is mental capacity....either you can or you can't.........spreading the wealth among open guys more often than not can net you the "W".....locking on probably paves your way to the "L"......easy read for most secondaries ala it is in "the eyes stupid".....
transplantbillsfan Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 If Tyrod stinks out the joint and the Bills lose, then what? Seriously? The answer is obvious and has been mentioned money money money many many times. The better question, especially for someone like you who seems to have some major issues when it comes to TT, this is what happens if T team plays really well? And this team is winning? And we even *gasp* make the playoffs? What do you think we should do then?
Crusher Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Sounds to me that they plan on letting TT take off and run a lot. I think that makes sense. The best case scenario for this offense is to have great run blocking and let Shady run, run, and run some more. Let TT move around and make plays by either running or finding receivers open when outside the pocket...he stinks in the pocket trying to decipher what is happening otherwise. It's gimmicky, and it will be countered, but this may work for a few games. Expecting anything else than what you've seen from Taylor as a passer is purely wishful thinking...it just is what it is.

Play Peterman. Hell the kid already performs better than the million excuses why he is still developing in year 7 TT. But you guy keep making excuses for pure crap, wannabe QB's
John from Riverside Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 Play Peterman. Hell the kid already performs better than the million excuses why he is still developing in year 7 TT. But you guy keep making excuses for pure crap, wannabe QB's You know its posts like this that just keep this going Tyrod Taylor is not a "crap wannabee QB".....not even close.....he just isnt a franchise qb and we might have the opportunity to pluck one from this next years draft
transplantbillsfan Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 As much as people want to dog on the talent of this team, I don't think the precipitous drop really happened that everyone says happened. LOL is the same or maybe better with Dawkins. TE is the same or better with Thomas. RB is just gonna run through McCoy and he still looks spectacular. As critical as everyone has of getting rid of those other RBs, who cares? they could all or anyone of them easily be as good or better than either of our last two great number to RBs. That leaves WR, and this position is going to totally depend upon the health of its top 2 WRs in Jones and Matthews. And I actually think that Powell coming back after his four-game suspension will help, too. He and taped are the only two wide receivers Taylor has worked with before. Outside of them you have Holmes, who has some good NFL experience. But the simple fact is that Watkins and Wood messed 11 combined games in 2016. That's a big deal. Only the Chargers had their number one and number two wide receivers miss more combined games. We had Goodwin, Tate, Powell, and Justin Hunter out there as our primary "weapons" on multiple occasions. Our WR corps is better than those guys. Combine all that with an OC who has worked with TT before and will hopefully run a system to maximize his strengths and maybe everyone should be prepared to just be surprised

This should end the thread. But it won't.

I didn't realize that it was that high.

At least you set up your excuse if Taylor has really good games to start the season. So tell us, what's your watermark for it no longer being a "gimmick?" If Taylor is playing well, by which game will you concede that he deserves credit? Game four? Five? Which one? because I think it's pretty obvious to everyone what your argument will be if Taylor plays well this week and or next week and or the week after that.

Let's all just keep arguing over hypotheticals. It'll at least pass the time until things actually start to matter. Then you two can go at it even harder!
HappyDays Posted September 9, 2017 Author Posted September 9, 2017 Good info Happy Days. I didn't realize that it was that high. In the interests of honesty I looked it up and we were actually tied for 5th after week 16 so my memory was off a bit. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/offensive-touchdowns-per-game?date=2016-12-25 Tied with Dallas and Oakland. The teams above us in order were Green Bay, New England, New Orleans, and Atlanta. Pretty good company.

If it's by the means I suspect like rollouts and option plays, then I'll need to see it work for at least six games before I will believe it's something sustainable. The league has proven it can and will figure out that type of offense, so call me skeptical of it ever being a longterm answer...this would go for any QB or any team FWIW. If he's standing in the pocket and delivering passes with anticipation and using the entire field and making reads, then I'll buy in early. I'm not setting up any excuses...the CoT has plenty for us all anyway.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted September 9, 2017 Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) .....I hope the kid succeeds for the good of the team and realizes his dream to be a steady (screw the franchise moniker crap) NFL starter.....he could probably throw for 4,000+ yds, 40+ TD's and run for 750 but the haters will still hate..missing the playoffs with those lofty numbers would STILL be his sole fault....that is the TBD way and was the same on the defunct BBMB.....con-joined twins of negativity.....ain't gonna defeat the hate mindset no matter what....he's here for 2017 so roll with it......the haters will expose themselves.....
