Wayne Arnold Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 And here we go... Flacco since 2015, the year Taylor took over for Buffalo, has a record of 14-18 and has thrown twice as many interceptions as touchdowns this season. So Ravens fans' are probably saying "Flacco is regressing and is at the end of the road". Bortles has never completed 60% of his passes since being drafted and has a losing career record. So Jaguars fans' are probably saying "If our 1st rd 3rd overall pick of Qb screws our season up because he can't hit his receivers 60% percent of the time he throws, I swear at season's end he's gator bait". You could already see from the Seniors Bowl that the 9'ers probably had something good in CJ Beathard. Hoyer is completing under 60% too. So 49ers fans' are probably singing The Hallelujah Song with the switch at Qb from "Brian "Journeyman" Hoyer. Tyrod Taylor has the higher Qb Rating of them all easily and the lower int% of them all this season. 6tds to 2 ints. 43 tds passing to 14 ints as of now for his career in Buffalo. More importantly has Buffalo positioned to reclaim the top spot in the division with a win. The fact that you just attempted to somehow group Taylor with these three Qb's who are struggling mightily for their respective teams, speaks to Taylor's point. A few more stats you left out by mistake... Sack Percentage: 11. Bortles - 5.6 14. Flacco - 6.1 20. Hoyer - 7.2 32. Taylor - 11.7 Passing yards per game: 24. Hoyer - 207.5 28. Taylor - 182.0 29. Bortles - 178.0 32. Flacco - 167.2 Touchdowns: T14. Bortles - 8 T23. Taylor - 6 T27. Flacco - 4 T27. Hoyer - 4
Game Manager Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Don't know where anyone said he was above criticism, but if you want to play it that way to dead the issue that's fine too. He is being held to the same standard as Fitzpatrick, Manuel, Losman, Lewis and Edwards All have tried and failed. If you want to make it more than that go ahead.
row_33 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 17 years and #18 is very shaky for the playoffs....
BananaB Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Taylor gets crucified after losses because hes a Bills QB. All the previous QBs after Kelly have taken the same ****. This aint about race, this is about not living up to the expectations of Bills fans. Most of us dont want mediocre, we want what will make us great. As far as being labeled a mobile QB because of athletic ability (color) and not considered him a pocket passer, whoever made that judgement they hit the nail on the head. Since taking over as a starter he has led the league in rushing yards for a QB. We are also 1-12 when he has to throw over 30 times.
quinnearlysghost88 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 ....primarily because he is a douchebag who showboats when he wins and cries when he loses. You get a lot of haters when you do that starting at about age 9. how is that different from Brady screaming at the opposing bench when he scores, and then bitching to the refs every single play he's touched. also this post became a dog whistle for western new york's finest to tell you their unsolicited views on race.
BurpleBull Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 He is being held to the same standard as Fitzpatrick, Manuel, Losman, Lewis and Edwards All have tried and failed. If you want to make it more than that go ahead. He exceeds everyone on that list in productivity. Fitzpatrick is the only one who comes close.

You can walk up to any fan and they'll say they can't stand him. That he's a douche. That he's a whiner. Buuuttttttt they'll also tell the truth. He's slightly above average
Game Manager Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 He exceeds everyone on that list in productivity. Fitzpatrick is the only one who comes close. It's all one big bag of suck. They all get undressed by meaningful games and .500 teams.
John from Riverside Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 By the way....a couple of corrections on my part (I do admit when Im wrong unlike some crusading folks around here) It was not "30 for 30" it was "3 for the show" here is the link: and yes Cam Newton WAS a part of that draft.....as was Dalton...however take a look at the QBs as a whole that were drafted before Tyrod Taylor and see if he did not overcome odds to be in the position he is in: 1 1 Carolina Panthers Cam Newton †QB Auburn SEC 2015 NFL MVP, 2010 Heisman Trophy winner[N 2] 1 8 Tennessee Titans Jake Locker QB Washington Pac-10 1 10 Jacksonville Jaguars Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri Big 12 from Washington [R1 - 2] 1 12 Minnesota Vikings Christian Ponder QB Florida State ACC 2 35 Cincinnati Bengals Andy Dalton †QB TCU MWC 2 36 San Francisco 49ers Colin Kaepernick QB Nevada WAC from Denver [R2 - 2] 3 74 New England Patriots Ryan Mallett QB Arkansas SEC from Minnesota [R3 - 4] 5 135 Kansas City Chiefs Ricky Stanzi QB Iowa Big Ten from Denver via Tampa Bay [R5 - 1] 5 152 Houston Texans T. J. Yates QB North Carolina ACC from Indianapolis via Washington [R5 - 10] 5 160 Chicago Bears Nathan Enderle QB Idaho WAC 6 180 Baltimore Ravens Tyrod Taylor †QB Virginia Tech ACC from St. Louis [R6 - 7] 7 208 New York Jets Greg McElroy Say what you want about Tyrod as the QB that fits your belief of what a qb should be......the guy has overcome a lot and deserves respect. That is all
grb Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Does Taylor have cause to feel frustrated how his performance is perceived? I'd say yes, but for a variety of reasons. But leaving aside the question of race in that, one general observation on black athletes : They seem to have an easier time embodying any number of undesirable traits - such as "selfish" or "arrogant" or "obnoxious" - than their white peers. Given human nature, that sorta thing is never far off - so it's a bit unfair black athletes appear to have an inside track. My favorite example is "thug". I've see that term thrown around a lot in sports talk, but can't ever remember a white "thug". A few year back Virginia Tech had a very-white (honest-to-god) "thug" kicker. But I don't think anyone ever called him that....... Edited October 16, 2017 by grb
BananaB Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 He exceeds everyone on that list in productivity. Fitzpatrick is the only one who comes close. Hes better then all the QBs on the list, but they were all ****ty QBs.
StevieJohnsonGOAT Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Wanting Tyrod to throw for more than 160 yards and 1 TD game is a higher standard? LMAO what a moron. Can't wait until we move on from this guy

Can't wait until we move on from this guy because of course passing yards is a very important statistic...it totally translates to winning

We hate QBs unless their on Jim Kellys level. it is what it is. Until a QB that plays for Buffalo takes the team on a respectable playoff run once or twice, regardless of how good the defense, WRs, and OC was/is/will be, hes gonna get crucified.

That is all Just watched it. They didn't include the part where he fell due to race as you and badol have claimed. At least 21 black guys WERE drafted in the 1st rd. They did state that he's only 6'1 and they couldn't do anything about it. Congrats to him on a long career against the odds as a short qb. Edited October 16, 2017 by Game Manager

Jesus.....watch the part where his agent is talking about how he is "pitching him" because he did not want to play a position other then quarterback. Game Im only gonna be able to take the water too you so much
mannc Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 It's one thing to recognize the past and learn from it, quite another to get stuck in and wallow in it.Very big of you to want to move past it...
