Wayne Arnold Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) After finally watching a game, the mainstream sports media is finally understanding why McDermott pulled Taylor earlier in the season. https://twitter.com/RyanTalbotBills/status/950532481823985665 Edited January 9, 2018 by Wayne Arnold 5 1 2
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 He obviously hasn’t seen Trent Edwards play. Kornheiser gets paid to say “splashy” things. Tyrod’s not that bad. Not even close. He’s just not good. 11 2 1
KW95 - JA17 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Lets be honest: Bortles is right up there with him! 3
Luka Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Just now, Johnny Hammersticks said: He obviously hasn’t seen Trent Edwards play. Kornheiser gets paid to say “splashy” things. Tyrod’s not that bad. Not even close. He’s just not good. Trent was good when he threw. He was a pure passer. But he was just as scared to throw as Tyrod is. 2 1

Kind of fits Bortles too. He was a pathetic wreck in that first half. Once he started running he relaxed a bit and made a couple of throws that cause you to recall, all of a sudden, why some scouts loved him.
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Taylor is bad. But he still wasn't the worst passer in that game. Bortles couldn't hit his FB 8 yards away...and Romo tried to blame the wind. 1

Tyrod’s not that bad. Not even close. He’s just not good. or EJ Manuel. This is a ridiculous statement. Bortles was a helluva lot worse passing the football yesterday. While Taylor's problem yesterday (and for his career) were the throws he chose not to throw, Bortles actually threw the ball a whole bunch but was just wildly inaccurate. But this thread will inevitably get a whole bunch of mileage from the posters who are just frothing at the mouth to pounce on him. 2 1
Steptide Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Taylor has a great arm, but it stops there. He has no anticipation and holds the ball way too long. I would be absolutely stunned if he's a Buffalo Bill next season. I'd be happier naming Peterman the starter today and not drafting a qb than bringing back Tyrod for another year. 3 years is enough 5
Bad Things Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Did he happen to also watch Bortles? Now, that guy is just brutal. 1

Mr. WEO Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 He wasn't even the worst passer in THAT GAME. What a dumb take Tony. 3 2
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 EJ was and is much worse. Not good when the easiest example to think of was the other guy on the team last year. 1

Now, that guy is just brutal. Did you guys even watch the game? The second half? bortles looked decent, esp during the 2nd half. Much. Much better than trod. Trod has to be one of the worse if not the worse in the league. Dude flat out can’t ball. 2
PolishDave Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) This has the makings of a very high quality thread. If cornhole says it - take it to the bank. You guys know what the other name for cornhole is right? Edited January 9, 2018 by PolishDave 1
TigerJ Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 A couple years ago, Tyrod would make one or two nice long passes every game. He doesn't anymore. It is a rare game where he completes a long pass.The touchdown pass to Nick O'Leary versus Miami was a rare occurrence and I'm guessing it was because O'Leary was so wide open. Most of the time the ball sails over everybody's head. I think it is because Tyrod is so afraid of throwing an interception. It used to be that he never attempted passes in the middle of the field. Now he does that, but his long passes always sail on him. The bottom line is there always seems to be an aspect of his game that is completely missing or at least sorely deficient. It's great that he can run, but it doesn't make up for the things he won't/can't do. 4
Nick the Greek Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The mainstream media doesn’t get it. When he was benched, the uproar! But now, 3 points in the playoffs, I hope we all get it. I like him, he’s tough, but it might be time to move on. 3 points is unacceptable. 3

Nobody currently on the Bills' roster has that level of ball tracking ability. Oh, that and Dennison also has a history of not calling the deep ball plays very often in games. 1 1
