GoBills808 Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 3 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Good point. The second issue with comparing them as a metric of QB productivity, is the need to consider the overall offensive scheme. In 2017, the Rams passed 53% of their QB plays from scrimmage (eg not including punts, FGA etc). In 2015, the Bills ran 52% of their QB plays from scrimmage. The Rams in 2017 had the #1 offense in the league for points scored. The 2015 Bills were #12 - I think top 10 projecting the Tyrod games to 16. So clearly overall the Rams were running a more effective offense in 2017 than the Bills in 2015. I think you're referring to 2016: iirc in 2015 Taylor missed the Bengals and Jaguars games which we scored 21 and 31 points respectively...that year we scored 379 points total which was good for 12th at 23.68 ppg. Those two games actually brought up the average, if you project Taylor's games to 16 it actually takes the scoring offense from 12th to 15th I believe.

I'm not sure it's even properly characterized as a stat: there are a number of what are essentially 'opinions' about the importance of different plays at different points in the game, how much pressure a QB is under etc. folded into it. " Unlike the NFL passer rating, ESPN has not yet been forthcoming on the exact specific formulas and procedures to calculate QBR.[7] The proprietary, complex methodology spans some 10,000 lines of code" (that's after various assessments off film are folded into it) I think purely on an offensive output basis, Tyrod could arguably the better choice here for 1 more season. Looked at objectively,AJM to date (while a better pocket QB) had similar passing production in his limited NFL games, and lacks the run contributions of Taylor. I think the Bills moved on for a number of factors beyond pure offensive output, and I'm OK with that choice. Sometimes "good" (or average, or mediocre, or whatever word one prefers) is the enemy of "great" IOW one has to risk possibly taking a drop in performance in order to set up for an improvement. True, AJs passing yards in total per game are similar but I equate that to a coach not putting too much on their 2nd year backup. As a sophomore AJ went 2-2 as a starter. He lost 1 game in OT to the (soon to be) SB winners in the regular season and because of 2 back to back blunders on defense with a 1 point lead lost the game as those 30 yards of penalties put the Steelers in FG range. 2nd year players output to a 7th years players output. 1 hour ago, 3rdand12 said: the whole offense relapsed under Dennison. I missed Lynn and Kromer last year. Tyrod best year was with Roman. A guy they fired because TT wasn’t improving in season 2 so the scapegoat became the OC (not once but 3 times).

And only one game in 3 seasons as the starter over 300 (just barely), and it took OT to hit that. Not many starting QB's get 3 full years "leading" an offense that was dead last or close to dead last, in passing with those kind of numbers.

It could be. He did rack up more yards the game that he took over after Dalton was injured. OTOH there are a bunch of film analyses of those games out there that point out where he lacked the precision or arm zing to fit the ball into available holes, and where he made the throw but it was just enough off target to preclude YAC. And he did have some amazing WR. So it might be he couldn't generate more offense. On the third hand, maybe he's taken a step in his abilities to read a defense etc.
xRUSHx Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Tyrod came to Buffalo after being a backup in Baltimore to end up bouncing teams to be a backup somewhere else. Enjoy your one year as a starter if you even get that. Browns know what they got in him so they drafted his replacement before he even played a snap. He better learn to be a backup or he will be out of this league pretty fast. Tyrod has done enough to stay, haha. Team 3 has already determined not enough to stay as a starter. Didn't he say the same thing when Baltimore said goodbye to him? Edited June 3, 2018 by xRUSHx

I'm not expecting much from him, IMO AJ is a backup and will end up continuing as a backup throughout his career. AJ is just a holder for a short time. IMO Peterman could end up better with time so saying that IMO shows where I feel AJ will ever be, backup at best. Who is the better backup to stay after this season when Allen takes over, AJ or Peterman, looks like both arms are in the same category so this season is battle of the backups of who stays in 2019 IMO.

ProcessYaDigg Posted June 3, 2018 Posted June 3, 2018 I honestly don't know why Tyrod is excited. He's gonna be put in the same situation after this season when Cleveland decides to start Baker in 2019. I'll give Tyrod credit though cuz he does handle it well. I'm not too worried about the stats he put up, with the exception of his turnover ratio. Yeah de didn't turn the ball over much, but at the same time, how many 3 & outs did we have under Tyrod. To me, that's the same as a turnover cuz we couldn't push the ball down the field. Additionally, until he establishes himself as a clutch QB, he won't be able to make it in this league as an every year starter. He is still relatively young in his career, so he has the opportunity to turn things around, I do wish him the best. It just won't be in Cleveland. Sorry Tyrod, Cleveland already drafted your replacement.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 This is why McDermott and Beane moved on from Taylor. They don’t feel the same way so they did the best thing for Taylor and the team.
Lfod Posted June 4, 2018 Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) If the defense didn't force turnovers as much as it did, do you think the Bills would have won as many games? I would like to see what another QB does with that many extra possessions in games. Edited June 4, 2018 by Lfod 2

Taylor regressed in his play as a QB in Buffalo over the last 3 years. You've regressed as a poster over the last 3 years since you've been posting about him. You're still with us, he's not. Maybe we should talk about you.
