Tyrod Taylor

[run and shoot]

This is a guy who's been flying under the radar. He's had some bad breaks. Most recently losing his starting job with the Chargers due to an incompetent "team doctor" puncturing his lungs. Bottom line, Taylor is a smart Qb. He doesn't make a lotta stupid mistakes with the football. He's never had double-digit ints. He wouldn't cost an 'arm & leg'.....i.e. no 2-3 first round picks etc.

Does he bring us a SB, probably not. Is he gonna be a so-called "elite Qb" ....naw. But he's a steady-eddy type, who can worse case act as a "bridge Qb" for a drafted Qb. And he's a competent, low cost option.



Here's more info on him below........ and the link provides stats. Focus on what he did in Buffalo :

Tyrod Taylor - Los Angeles Chargers

I’d take him over Foles, but wouldn’t give him a franchise QB type of contract.

And that's cool.

You do a standard, low risk contract with the guy. The beauty of all this is that he's a smart, competent Qb who's not gonna cost 'arm & leg'. Worse case, he's a "bridge Qb" . Best case, with our D, he gets a playoff win and we roll from there.

A bridge to where?

A bridge to where?

to a drafted Qb who can sit behind him and learn. Unfortunately, that's kinda what he's been in the past. I think he'd come in with a chip on his shoulder, ready to prove he can be a top Qb. We really haven't had a Qb with a "something-to-prove" attitude.

Generally speaking teams have a better chance at finding "the guy" at a higher pick than a lower pick.

What good would Taylor do in this?

Bears need to go all in whether winning or tanking. I doubt it will be the former.

I doubt the Bears look for a bridge QB. I see them either drafting a QB in the first this year, going all in for Watson or Wilson. Anything else is a failure.

I tend to agree with this.
Tyrod Taylor is a guy who can maybe win a playoff game or two with a fantastic defense, but without that he is a football purgatory type of guy.. middle of the pack and out of the top picks.

That said, I would love to see him land on a strong team and do well. Just not here.

 

[Montucky]

We have a bridge quarterback already on the roster. I have nothing against Tyrod Taylor but he's redundant.

Note I said worse case.

Lets not kid ourselves.....we're probably not gonna end up with either Watson or Wilson. Ya don't wanna force a rookie into the starters position that isn't ready. We need a G.B. N.E. approach to Qb development.

What the fuck is a New England approach to QB development? Get lucky and draft the GOAT in the 6th round and then ride him for two decades?

Look what you made me do OP. I agreed with mongo

Other Qb's have left there and had success with other teams. Same with G.B. We don't draft and develop Qb's.

 

[Da Coach]

Imo he or Brisset would be a great starter to pair with Trey Lance.

Better for that to just keep Foles that can run this O... kinda. We are paying him either way. As a starter, I prefer Taylor for sure but to groom a QB for Nagy, Foles is likely the better option to run and teach it.

 

[bamainatlanta]

Problem with Tyrod is he would probably win enough games to keep Nagy/Pace in place, therefore screwing us in the long run.

Green Bay since Rodgers: BJ Coleman, Brian Brohm (with a second rounder), Brent Huntley, Matt Flynn, Ingle Martin.

They've developed zero QBs other than their Hall of Famer.

I would also like to draft more QBs, not sure how signing Tyrod Taylor when you already have a bridge QB in Foles makes this more possible.

 

[modo]

If the Bears draft a QB in the first, you stick with Foles.

No reason to lose 1M by cutting Foles and having to sign another QB.

G.B. has either developed or got something for those Qb's. When have we got something for any of our Qb's that left.

Taylor has more up side than Foles. Foles has made some dumb mistakes with the football in key situations.

Ummm, interesting point. Get rid of Nagy/Pace
