Gruden On The Bills QB Competition

[Blondie]

The tension between Kiper and Gruden couldn't be more obvious. I may disagree with Kiper and McShay on things... but with Gruden, I'm thinking " Why is this buffoon on my TV ? "

Be glad he was never a coach for the BILLS ... it was horrible having to listen to his press conferences here after a BUCS game ... I am NOT a fan of Gruden and was glad to see him go bye-bye

funny how every informed national pundit talks about EJ as the starter.


then i come to this board...............

I agree that Manuel is the starter, but to me that speaks more to the quality of his competition.

and you would think EJ is the midget from game of thrones.

that being said Tyrion Lannister as the bills qb would be entertaining oh wait (we did have the flutie era)

There already is a drunken, whoring midget playing QB and his name is Johnny Manziel

I would have thought that the CJ Spiller experience would have shown people that running fast in shorts doesn't make you a great nfl runner.

Kaepernick is one of the best running qbs ever. Taylor isn't even close.

Give this video 1 minute. Tyrod Taylor can run.



Give all of his highlights on youtube a good look and I don't think anyone could honestly say that Tyrod Taylor doesn't have the same kind of running ability as Kaepernick. He might even be a better running QB. He's not as tall, and he's faster. We shall see.

There's no doubt he is the fastest running QB in the NFL. Rex Ryan said it.

What I like about Tyrod Taylor the most is his ability to make plays with his feet. That doesn't necessarily mean running the ball either.

How did Roman's experiment with Kaepernick making plays with his arm work out last year?

Is a pocket passing QB something Roman wants?

I think he wants a QB who can run and pass too.

Harbaugh ran the passing game and heavily influenced play selection last year. I've never seen any sign Roman wants much to do with the passing game. The Bills are not even letting him have much to do with it (Lee & Lal will). At most, Roman wants a QB who doesn't screw up his running game and keeps teams from keying on it by being a good little QB and speaking when spoken to.

As for Gruden, love hearing whatever he has to say. Doesn't carry more or less weight, he's just fun to listen to.

[BillsImpossible]

Oh come on lol

Tyrod Taylor can run the football, without question. Watch the video above and it also shows how he can throw by making plays with his feet.

If he can throw too, Tyrod Taylor is going to be the Bills starting quarterback.

Chucky knows how to have fun. He's interesting. He's got swagger, and a ring. The bolded comment above reminds me of how Gruden won that ring with Tampa Bay. Great defense, run the ball, and don't F it up, Dilfer.

Jets came close to perfecting Chucky's recipe, twice.

Ravens recipe for success was similar to Gruden's. Run the ball, strong D, don't F it up Joe.

None of those ring bearing QB's could run like Tyrod Taylor can run. Same philosophy - strong D, run the ball - but with the NFL's latest twist of a QB that can run and pass too.

Tyrod Taylor is a stand up guy. No character issues, been riding the pine for 4 years being Flacco, and now is his chance.

If he succeeds the NFL is going to love Tyrod Taylor. He's going to be everything the NFL wanted Michael Vick to be.

"Superman?" Couldn't resist.

Terry Pegula is Superman and Kim Pegula is Superwoman.

Super Bowl.

Kaepernick is one of the best running qbs ever. Taylor isn't even close.

The best running QB's ever never made it in the NFL. The only exception among the top 20 is Michael Vick. We're talking Vince Young, Tommie Frazier, Eric Crouch, Colt McCoy, Tony Rice, Darien Hagan.......

[Meathead]

well like ive been saying, i think rexy prefers to let ej or even tyrod play and run a lot in romans offense. cassel is the emergency insurance policy in case that all goes to ѕhit and he has to revert to a more traditional offense

its gonna be more risk to the runners knees etc but neither of those guys is going to give you reliable classic drop back production so why not give it a go. look for the big plays, expect a few more three and outs, and let the defense just keep giving you field position

that also means we likely see at least two guys if not all three, figuring that the runners are gonna get hobbled here and there. it could work

[Mace]

Yeah, but you see what happened after, which sort of says much and now they're rebuilding again just like we're still trying to hit the magic, except with a bunch of everything they already tried and needed rebuild anyway.

I dunno. Crapshoot.

[Bill Cody]

The Bills do have a QB who can run like Kaepernick in Tyrod Taylor.

If he can throw too, he's going to be a superstar in the NFL for many years to come.

And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

[BertSquirtgum]

And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

What if your uncle was a cross dresser?

[Bill Cody]

What if your uncle was a cross dresser?

Trolling for dates again Bert?

[BillsImpossible]

Trolling for dates again Bert?

No. I think Bert was implying in a funny way something else.

A cross dresser goes both ways.

What if Tyrod Taylor can run AND pass?

They could all run, but couldn't pass in the NFL.

Gruden's act wore thin.

I think the players were more happy to see him go than us Bucs fans.

But we still have to give him credit & be thankful for that Super Bowl win.

That was a GREAT year.

I don't give him credit.

Never have never will.

He beat HIS team with Dungy's team.

It was shameful when Dungy left the BUCS organization.

I like Dungy, but he was as inept getting an OC in Tampa as Chan Gailey was at getting a DC in Buffalo.

Brad Johnson was the Bucs QB when they won the SB.
