    YRC - Tyrod Taylor stuck in neutral to start camp



    PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Ever since Tyrod Taylor agreed to a $10 million pay cut in March, it has been fair to question his future as the Buffalo Bills' quarterback beyond the upcoming season.

    Through the first five practices of training camp, little has changed. If fans at St. John Fisher College have been looking for a step forward from Taylor, it has not been there. His performance Tuesday in 11-on-11 drills will ultimately be a small sample size within his entire body of preseason and training camp work, but it was poor enough to be notable.

    With a focus in the red zone, Taylor's first pass was nearly intercepted by cornerback Ronald Darby, who jumped rookie receiver Zay Jones' route along the sideline. In the next sequence of plays, Taylor either overthrew his receiver in the end zone or threw it away -- it was unclear during live action. The next play, he led running back Mike Tolbert too much on a swing pass, which hit the ground.
    Some might say consider the source, but there hasn't been a lot of positivity coming out about the QB's through the early part of camp.

    Unfortunately, I can still clearly remember the Ravens' players last year saying "we forced Tyrod to be a QB" in the week 2 loss.

        I wasn't overly impressed over the weekend. He was up and down but I considered the drills and whether the receiver ran his proper route. I just chalked it up to early camp but I did see him hit slants and long passes. Yates did zero for me. Peterman has lots to learn and still looks better than Yates.

        TT has a 1 year deal and is holding the fort for someone else, IMO. Next years draft class should not only have quality...but quantity. We have two 1st round picks.

        I understand the present situation clearly. Bring on the games.

          If a starting QB gets injured on another team, Id trade him for a 2nd next year.

            Why wait? Trade him back to the Ravens this year. They might entertain it.

              Yeah, I'm kind of tired of saying 'it's still early'....somebody needs to heat up right out of the gate and get better from there.

                I guess my thought is that we didn't have a real well developed passing offense, Taylor was essentially running a rushing offense with some pass plays.

                My expectations are tempered by the fact I don't really think he's a quality passer, but at the same time he's being tasked to use a more integrated passing game for the first time here. Training camp is for training so we'll see what happens as it goes. Best case scenario, he does well as he learns and becomes comfortable, worst case, well...he is who he is and I think most of us have already come to grips with him being transitory.

                  I don't really expect that anymore, myself. I'll be content with consistent progress that doesn't get me unreasonably hyped or aggravated. They have time yet.

                    Tyrod seems to play better in games so I'm not overly worried. He's above mediocre which is top half of league. He's not a franchise guy.

                    FYI what is YRC??

                      Also wondering....I think it might have something to do with YardRat's request for a postive article per day.

                        Tyrod is taking us nowhere, Yates is a career back-up & Nathan looks as good or better. Hmmmm... who to start ??!!??

                          As others have pointed out, training camp starts this week. The off-season, for all intents and purposes, will officially be over and make way for the pre-season and eventually the regular season. A lot is going to start happening, and there is going to be a lot to talk about. My challenge to all of the fans checking into these


                          Start one thread per day...Bills related, in the Bills forum. Doesn't have to be positive, just spark some discussion.

                              Tyrod Taylor is not good. He should change his position to running back.
