IS TYROD TAYLOR THE QB OF THE FUTURE?????

[mdcas22]

I say no

[The Natrix]

Yes, because the game today is still in the future, and Taylor is starting.

[Novacane]

I have my doubts. Not ready to say no for sure yet.

[Luisito23]

I really hope not.

[IlluminatusUIUC]

He has only earned himself a place in next years training camp battle so far. If he develops, he can be a franchise guy but he's not there now.

[sudzy]

He's the QB of this year. Because, he's the only QB they have. I would not let him stop me from drafting a good QB next year if one was available.

Yeh I agree with this, he has got a long way to go to become a franchise guy. everyone thinks because he is fast that he has a advantage. in the NFL speed is something that most have and defending it isn't all that tough as we have seen so far this year. If he can't trow over the middle and read defense's better he will nothing more than a glorified back up.

[YardRat]

After breaking down all of the statistics, analyzing his skill set, taking into account intangibles and extrapolating out for future performance, speaking from a strictly scientific standpoint I would say...

I like to think Taylor's game is really a reflection of Rex and Roman's decision to have him avoid turnovers at all cost. Unlike most bad teams that have shiny new toys under centre, the Bills are talent wise ready and expected to compete. So they are hoping to get enough out of Taylor to enable that, which comes at the cost of aggressively furthering his development as a legit starter. We are not the Jags, the Bucs, Titans etc...
I like to think that, but of course it is also possible that he just doesn't have what it takes.
If he just can't do it, I still like him a lot as a backup/change of pace QB who can also be used situationally on occasion and not just when the starter goes down. So I think his being on the team is definitely a positive and I don't see why he wouldn't be a keeper.

[Famous Amos]

Welp, I read on twitter that Jameis Winston, after his headset went out, called his own plays. They resulted in two touchdowns.

I don't have any confidence that Taylor could do that. He hasn't done it. He doesn't have the smarts.

[LarryBoy]

Kids got heart and guts-I do like that-just not sure about the rest of the package

[justasportsfan]

Not riget now. Holds on to the ball too long. Still doesn't know when to get rid of the ball. Fumble

[BertSquirtgum]

He is a great back up quarterback. Not starter quality, IMO.

[justasportsfan]

He needs a good QB coach and I don't think David Lee is it.

[Typ0]

Taylor is a great guy to have on the team. First time the position has been upgraded since Bledsoe.

Tyrod is the type of QB who can win if all the other pieces are in place. He's responsible and accurate enough that he won't lose too may games for you, but he's also not that top tier QB that will consistently pull wins out of his ass.

The problem is we don't have all the pieces and some of the pieces we do have are hurt.

McCoy and Watkins can be Pro Bowl caliber players when they're on their games. Clay to me is an above average TE and Woods/Hogan are an average WR2/3/ What more can we give him? Maybe if the D was playing stronger but to me the play of Tyord in the 2nd half of today's game is what make him an average to below average QB. That said the turnovers on offense also played a part on the loss that can't blame Tyord for but something just tells me he isn't good enough.

You just described Alex Smith who does it better. I've come to really appreciate Alex Smith.

Anyway, I finally slid into the "no" camp on one of the long ball completions to Watkins where Watkins had to slow down and wait for it. He got the ball there but didn't have enough arm to hit Watkins in stride for daylight, and if one of the two db's would have turned around they'd have caught it easily instead. This isn't going anywhere.

A good slot receiver and a tall WR maybe...though I'm not sure we don't have a good slot receiver just never run any plays there. A really tall guy with long arms could rescue some of his errant balls. Past that, the defense yeah. I mean Taylor didn't lose the game, but this year I was kind of expecting to win games with 22 points and a defensive wizard HC.
