Re: “Tyrod is back,” said Ryan.

Well good I guess, but I don't expect him to make it 4 more games without being harmed again.

There's something to be said about running QB's here.

Fitzpatrick got hurt running the ball yesterday. Taylor got hurt running the ball. RG3...you get what I mean.

When's the last time you saw Tom Brady or Peyton Manning run the damn ball, save for the QB sneak up the middle for a half yard from Brady?

I like how the Bills have handled Tyrod so far. They really haven't put him in as many running situations that I thought they would.

He has 31 rushes in 5 games played so far for an average of about 6 rushes per game.

I'd like to see that number cut in half to about 3 rushes per game.

Taylor has played better than expected as a pocket passing quarterback.

Over the past five full seasons, clubs with more takeaways than giveaways have a combined 810-220-2 (.786) record.

Might be, but I'm still telling you I don't expect him to make it 4 more games without being harmed again. That there is a knee brace. Knees should make you nervous. Doesn't really matter if he's running or in the pocket, he's wearing a knee brace because his knee was hurt, a handful of games into his career as a starter.

I don't want him to get hurt, I don't not like him, I'm making no comment on his style or how they use him, I'm just pointing out this strikes me as ominous and and I'm not expecting it to work out well for the obvious reasons.

Was that some kind of new wrestling move?

"The Mace Brace."

Yeh, I saw that brace too and have to admit it does not look good.

Rex is blowing smoke as usual, saying he expects Tyrod to be 100%

If he was 100%, what's up with the knee brace?

Just, "precautionary," I hope.

Will Ryan Fitzpatrick invent a thumb brace? He needs surgery.

I'll take no surgery and a knee brace over surgery any day.

Take a QB who can play more than 12 games a season if you bank on anything.

If that's the "Mace Brace", my knee is already hurting and I'm waiting for it to wobble before a muscular guy wobbles it for me worse. He's not going to make it far. We've seen this before. It's happening again, it's not my fault for seeing it. You'll take no surgery and a knee brace for another week or two then be happy surgery might make it ok next year, with a knee brace and we have a brand new season of "maybe" arguments.

No clue what happens with Fitz, but I don't live in New Jersey so it doesn't bother me much.

This season will not end well or heroically, it's painful to even already know it, but you do too.

Re: “Tyrod is back,” said Ryan.

You can still run occasionally and pick up yards, but he needs to learn to protect himself better. Russell Wilson runs and scrambles but he rarely gets splattered because he knows how to avoid big hits and when to give himself up.

Too bad JK didn't play in this pussified era of football. He'd have played for 20 years.

oh, you mean slide like a white guy, like Ryan Fitzpatrick never does?

idiotic.

Re: “Tyrod is back,” said Ryan.

true. he could have avoided that hit but was a dumbass and let the guy hit him. i like fitzy but since hes on the jets him glad he was a dumbass this time. tbh i hope hes out the rest of the season and the jets have to roll with possibly the dumbest qb in the league

The QB injuries are a huge reason why the read-option offense is rare in the NFL and it's not long before a team backtracks and tries to turn that read-option QB into a pocket passer. Tyrod has not been running the read-option. He has been working from the pocket and taking off when things break down. He runs the ball less than Kaepernick, Wilson and Newton. Your plan is to take a strength of his game and bottle it up because he might get injured. How do we win the Titans game with that plan?
