Heard Rex say it on WGR this morning with Howard Simon and Jeremy White.
Very interesting interview with Rex Ryan.
If you missed it: http://media.wgr550.com/a/103497502/...in-and-qbs.htm
Jeremy White pops the big quarterback question at about the 5:30 mark.
Ryan's comments on Tyrod Taylor are at about the 6:30 mark.
So what do you think about the quarterback situation now?
Notable quotes from the interview:
On Cassel: "Veteran...he's done some pretty good things in this league."
Ryan sounds about as excited as Tyler Myers before he was traded.
On Manuel: "Just going in to his third year, I really believe EJ is going to improve tremendously with his fundamentals."
"Just," his third year and those training wheels are soon about to come off I tell ya!
On Taylor: "He's probably the fastest quarterback in the league, he's explosive running the zone reads and things like that."
Quite the contrast.
On the QB competition: "There will be competition, the person is going to have to earn the job that hasn't been handed to somebody."
Holy crap, he actually said that. Was that a shot at Doug Whaley or what?
This interview wasn't the first time Rex Ryan has said Tyrod Taylor is one of the fastest, if not the fastest quarterback in the NFL.
“I actually tried to trade for [Taylor] when I was with the Jets,” Ryan said. “If he’s not the fastest quarterback in the league, he’s certainly up there with them. He’s got great run skills. I’m not gonna say he’s Russell Wilson, but he’s got a little of that in him, where he’s able to run zone reads and pull the ball down and be effective.”
Can Matt Cassel or EJ Manuel run zone reads and be effective?
Is there any doubt as to who Rex Ryan's preference is at quarterback?
