ColoradoBills Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Question is, can Tyrod Taylor catch a pass in the middle of the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twoandfourteen Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 4 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: You compared him to a scrub college QB that was only ever going to be a WR. The comparison is assine at its core. Yes, it is borderline racist to suggest that a QB with a 4:1 TD to int ratio switch positions. If you don’t like him as the Bills QB fine, most agree. Edelman was far from a "scrub" QB. He was a three-year starter and set records at Kent St. He's also become one of the most dangerous WRs in the NFL and has won multiple championship rings as a direct result of his production at the position. Defenses have to game plan and account for him on every single play. That's not a "scrub", by any means. So now it's racist to suggest that Tyrod possesses better mental/athletic skills and abilities to potentially be even better than that? But go on, tell me more about Tyrod's barely .500 w-l record and that 4:1 TD:INT ratio. Maybe you could tell me about that one time he threw for 300 yards, even though it took 5 quarters for him to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember anyone ever suggesting an athletic white QB switches positions (and Tebow doesn’t count because he was an awful QB like Pryor) but we see it all of the time with black QBs. Racist? My god. Tyrod is not a great passer. Not good actually. That is a fact. Above posts have outlined his massively underwhelming passing numbers. The top 10 scoring offense you speak of was despite his passing, not because of it. You know just as well as everyone that the 10th ranked offense was because of his legs and Shady. Tyrod's saving grace is that he doesn't turn the ball over, and obviously thats why his qbr was high. To ascribe racism to this is rediculous. Let me use your example... Name white QBs who were bad passers but were elite physical specimens with any type of athleticism that even comes close to Tyrods explosiveness or elusiveness. There are none. Tyrod has an elite physical skillset, just not the "It factor" as a QB. You excluded Tebow, but why? Everyone said he should be a TE or LB. I am not neccesarily arguing for it, but I bet Tyrod would make more impact as a WR on a team with competent QB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about what you just criticized, “a barely .500 record!!” He’s beaten more than half of the NFL QBs he’s faced. That is the dumbest criticism that I’ve ever read. Edelman is a great WR. Tyrod Taylor was the ACC offensive player of the year and a 4 year starter. He was a bit of a project but he was always a QB. Edelman never was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edelman was a QB at Kent State and Tyrod has a winning record in the NFL. The guy has the lowest INT percentage ever but we want to make him a WR?!? It’s okay to not like Tyrod as the Bills QB but he isn’t changing positions. How is it insulting ? Kordell Stewart had higher peaks at qb and went to wideout.

I'm not arguing for it either, it was simply a hypothetical. Considering his great work ethic and all of the other things that make him pretty much the ideal professional athlete, it's not hard to imagine him developing from a backup/borderline starting QB into an elite WR and becoming an absolute nightmare for opposing defenses. It would have been interesting to see, had he chosen that path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not true. Stewart went from “slash” to the offensive player of the year as a QB and then became a journeyman backup. Pryor is the one that jumps out that went QB to WR and he was a lousy NFL QB (coming from a Buckeyes fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asinine would be "Could Richie Incognito transition into an elite place kicker?" There are many parallels between Edelman & Taylor and considering the ongoing disagreement on Taylor's place in the NFL currently, I think it's a perfectly reasonable hypothetical to bring up on a slow Saturday afternoon.

The Now Moment Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Edelman's toughness helps him at that position. Tyrod doesn't have the toughness that Edelman has. Not the same type of player at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
