Even if he's dealing with shoulder and foot injuries that limit his ability to both throw the ball and move around in the pocket? It seems to me that the only thing a smart QB who can't run or throw can give you is a guy who doesn't turn the ball over or take sacks. Guess what Tyrod's strengths are?
It's certainly not throwing the football. What a terrible thing to want...a QB whose biggest strength is his ability to throw a football.
I think we all remember some of the best seasons any QB had ever had, right? That year that Brady set a record for least amount of sacks, or when Peyton ran for 1,000 yards, or when Brees hit all of his checkdowns, or when Favre threw for 15 touchdowns, or when Elway avoided the entire middle of the field for a whole year, or when Montana set a record for lowest number of 4th quarter comebacks.
But hey, you seem to be content being a loser. More power to you.

Tyrod Taylor has basically made no progress in his second year starting, which is also his 6th year in the league...same guy we've seen from the beginning.
I don't see that changing too much next year, either.
Does it matter who the receivers are when all he does is look at 1 of them and if's not wide open, he runs around?
And even if someone is wide open, it doesn't even mean he'll throw a catchable ball to the receiver as this year almost every throw of his has sailed.
Does it matter who the receivers are if they go into the middle of the field because Tyrod refuses to look at, or simply can't see, the middle?

-Got to have a QB who can march his team downfield with his arm when needed. Taylor can't.
-Got a QB coach named David Lee, Wildcat Lee. Note his use of Wildcat and Read Option, designed QB running plays. This is their desired offense. Tony Romo, oft injured 38 year old pocket passer ? No.
-We've all noticed how settling for "okay" goes in life, we've all settled for "ok", then regretted it because the decision never really met our needs like extending ourselves for a better option would have. Once stuck with payments, you're stuck with that ok you settled for, and try to rationalize it, always knowing you needed better. You see people "settle for ok" in relationships, then you see the results.
If they renegotiate Taylor's contract, and I see the possibility mentioned in the media, maybe ok is adequate year by year as they try other options. He's a quality backup QB.
But they still need someone who can rally the team with his arm and march them downfield quickly and decisively if they want to get away from perpetual 8-8. That's not Taylor.
You see rookies able to do this. Taylor can't. We need better.

This thread has been really eye-opening. I was so wrong at the beginning, and now I've seen the light. All the name-calling really convinced me that you're great people who deserve happiness.

LOL...Why is that fat boy still defending Taylor...

Tyrod stinks like monkey butt

The attacks are wrong but a lot of the things brought up now are all of the same things that were brought up about Tyrod in numerous threads before as I remember debating this in the preseason. Specifically his in ability to move the team down the field with his arm on a regular basis. Sure he's missed Sammy Watkins but Tyrod still isn't throwing to the guys out there. If he did and the guys dropped it or weren't open then you could argue. Do we have a Dez Bryant? No but think Robert Woods is as good if not better than Cole Beasley. Clay I feel could be as good as Witten. Heck Shady was a great pass catcher in the days of Andy Reid. Yet Tyrod outside of the Seattle game has used these guys. Even in the Seattle game which was Tyrod's best passing game and he still had a chance to lead us to victory and failed.
