Tyrod Taylor's stat splits, trouble ?

[Mace]

Didn't see it mentioned. A beefy read for fans who care and like numbers, from Rumblings.

The author expresses concern with Taylor on later downs. I think I'm more concerned with Taylor staying healthy and having the chance to keep developing on the field. I still saw him as a rookie vet, and by that standard he did pretty well. At this point I'm inclined to think his issue with slow reads and occasional indecision is developmental. Can't know until he puts in another year.

Good article though imho.

I don't think Taylor's stats are different enough from the top 30 in either category to support optimism or pessimism...he was an average QB that could run last season, we all know that. I agree this year's performance is going to tell us (or should) much more.

Agree, Donald. I'm not thrown off by his 4 years in the league. He was essentially a rookie starter. He only has one real season of stats to date.

At least the Bills are waiting to throw money at him to be sure.

Reality of the matter we don't know what we have but the stats & the end results haven't matched up. We made a 8-8 record or better for 2 years in a row for the first time since 1999-2000, that's something there.

Tyrod fails on obvious passing downs. He has incredible spirit and drive and carried this team to a sub par record. And for the record, Roman sucks. Tyrod needs to fix his 3-4 WR stats.

Buffalo NY, where we consider 5th year Quarterbacks basically a rookie.
Been doing it for Rob Johnson, JP Losman, and EJ Manuel.
5th year is a new one, usually we only do it for their 2nd or 3rd year in the league.

At least we didn't waste a first rounder on Taylor. I guess I look at it this way...we took a shot on a project sixth-round QB and it's time to see what he has...the only variation of the theme is we let another team develop him for four years.

I agree with this, but the downside is that the pursuit of a franchise QB continues to have zero urgency in Whaley's bizarro-world.

A guy would bundles first round picks like they're rolled pennies too trade up for an injury prone Wide Receiver, but who apparently deems the QB position as insignificant, drafting only one QB since the horrendous EJ Manuel, that guy being a worthless project.

No serious effort has been made to address the position. The baseless arrogance is sickening.

Just keep kicking the can down the road.

Taylor is what we seen in 2015, if you believe he is gonna act like a rookie and get better your wrong, he will learn but the fact is he still gonna be 6 ft tall, he still gonna have trouble throwing over the middle and he still gonna have trouble reading defense's quick enough. one things for sure that reading defenses comes from the class room not in reps so if he has trouble reading defense's in year 5 he always will have trouble. I think TT is a great quarterback on any team but not as your franchise guy, coming off the bench would be the thing for him to do but the media will drive him to thinking he is something he is not. Baltimore who has 2 rings too there credit wouldn't let a possible franchise QB go for nothing, if they thought he was that good they would have tried to trade him not let him go for nothing, my opinion.

Has nothing to do with Buffalo. These were the first 14 starts of his career, no matter how long he's been on rosters, fresh and new to starting regular season games and facing weekly action.

There's no way around it.

That doesn't make any sense to me at all and I disagree completely. Classroom theory never matches practical experience and game day defenses can be expected to be dynamic not static. Peyton manning improved continuously in reading defenses through his career until his arm gave out. Film helps, but nothing matches seeing it live.

Well, what franchise QB's since Manuel though ? To date there are 5 starters (Winston, Mariota, Bridgewater, Carr & Bortles), they're 44-73 with the only winning season being Bridgewater last year, out of the 46 qb's drafted besides Manuel from 2013 on.

I don't know if Taylor develops, but franchise QB's are just rare.

Re: Tyrod Taylor's stat splits, trouble ?

Yea, yea, Bills should have traded to get a top tier QB...

Who should've they traded to get?

Man the whining here gets old..

Re: Tyrod Taylor's stat splits, trouble ?

TT was the best first year starting QB by far.
