Media loves Tyrod yet fans in buffalo hate him

I Find it weird we stunk for so long and Tyrod is our QB. The guy ranks high in QBR rankings last 2 years. Also watching games I hear Boomer Esiasan, Bill Cowher, Nate Burlson and others raving on how much they love him.

I know he's not top 5 but he's not too far from top 10-11. Look at the talent around him outside McCoy. Results are pretty good for cast
around him.

His two positives are that he can get out of the pocket and move, since our O-line is not great, and he doesn't turn the ball over.

That's it. He is completely impotent as a passer, and this team would probably be 7-0 with a slightly above-average guy. The media doesn't watch every minute of the games like Bills fans do.

He's actually perfect for what this team does. I will be 100% opposed to moving on from Tyrod without a proven replacement. Not a rookie with potential. I am confident that our front office knows not to make a move for the sake of making a move.

Zay Jones catches the ball from Tyrod it was definitely catchable. We win that game too.

He had to stop running full-speed and leap backwards in the opposite direction. Terrible pass to a guy that was wide-open.

Re: Media loves Tyrod yet fans in buffalo hate him

Tyrod's style of play is completely fine if the running game is working and the defense is creating turnovers/scoring their own points. Nobody is going to complain if we keep winning ball games, but that doesn't mean I don't want this team to start/keep looking for a better option at QB.

On the other side, Tyrod style of play is COMPLETELY FRUSTRATING when we're losing. It seems like he's not even trying, because he's so safe with the football. He doesn't adapt his play to the game when he needs to. Not to mention, he's not a good enough passer to lead a team to victory when the defense/running game are struggling.

actually tyrod threw the ball to a spot (right in the middle of the open zone. It was Jones running the wrong route which made the pass so inaccurate. Had he ran the route the way it appeared to be designed, he would have had a slightly behind him (maybe on his hip) pass to catch. It wasn't a "great" thrown ball, but it was a catchable one if Zay runs the route right. And if he runs the route right, and doesn't break stride too badly to catch it, Jones has a chance at the endzone.

We don’t hate him, we hate his over / under throws and when he’s off it’s hard to watch games. He’s way too inconsistent to be labeled a franchise QB.

Before the season, and even early in the season I felt the exact opposite of this. Now I'm starting to realize that Tyrod fits this team perfectly, and I think they are actually opening it up more for him. I think he played his best game of the season yesterday. That's what this team needs. A guy who won't turn the ball over, will make some plays and is smart. Yes he still has his infuriating times when he takes sacks he shouldn't instead of throwing the ball away, but I honestly thing he's learning. He threw the ball away a couple of times yesterday which shows he's growing and understands that you can't make every play. I can't wait for Clay to come back.

The kicker is he's doing this with a cast of receivers who struggle in creating space.

Not catchable at all.

Re: Media loves Tyrod yet fans in buffalo hate him

Joe nailed it.

Tyrod's play is frustrating, because it's an old school style of football that isn't always glamorous.

Tyrod threw for 165 yards, (a lot of help from the defense and special team) and combined with the running game put 27 points on the board.

Stafford threw for 450 last night and they put up 15 points.

Yesterday's game offensively reminded me of exactly how last year was, and the Ryan's ****ed the defense.

It's an unconventional offense in today's NFL but when the running game is working and Shady is explosive we're seeing 25-30 points a game.

When it's not working you get games like Cincy and Carolina.

There isn't a ton of room for error, that works because if Tyrod is good at one thing it is taking care of the ball.

It looks the same as when he had a healthy Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods. He still can’t throw timing routes and this is a timing based offense. Just for example, look at how late and inaccurate the throw to Holmes was.

What throw was late and inaccurate to Holmes?

Re: Media loves Tyrod yet fans in buffalo hate him

Let's face it, he's not the answer. Is he terrible? No. His legs save him from being terrible, as does his low INT stat. And I'm not going to bash him relentlessly as yes, we could have worse.

But if we're being honest, as a passer, he probably makes 1 good throw out of 10. So on average, with him tossing 25 balls in a game, he makes 2 good throws. He has poor timing, and his touch is wildly inconsistent. For example, that long pass to Jones on the right sideline could have been a TD had it been thrown correctly. Instead Jones had to contort his body to make a great catch but had to fall down in the process. The Holmes TD was also late, although given the pressure at the time he may not have been able to get it to him earlier. (although his height could have been the reason, since Holmes was open over the middle in the back of the endzone, and that's another TT weakness seeing over the line)

He has a really hard time throwing to space. He waits until his receivers are open, hence the reason he leads the league in time to release the ball (3.34 sec or something like that). If he didn't have his legs, he'd be leading the league in getting sacked for sure. The Oline must have nightmares thinking about pass protecting him, knowing he takes a long time to get the ball out. If he were younger I'd say maybe it improves, but he's no rookie. At this stage he is who he is. He doesn't see the game slowly like a true franchiser (Rodgers, Brady, Brees, etc.) and that's just something you are born with or without.

So, all that said, he is working out because of the strength of the D, his not throwing INTs, and the ground game. Any one of those break down and it is an L. So pray Peterman and/or next year's pick are ready sooner than later.
