Tyrod Taylor

[Spitta Andretti]

A) He is a bum & B) He got lucky Wentz got hurt. So yes, that’s an accurate statement.

the only ones who got lucky wentz was hurt were the eagles

You could say that now. I’m not a big Wentz fan but he was 11-2 before getting hurt

I have watch Taylor since his days as a Backup QB in Baltimore, and his days in Buffalo seem to be the "chance" that he was able to take advantage of, however we should not forget that while he had some good stats in Buffalo he was benched for Nathan Peterman. He is a good Backup QB, jus like Foles, so I agree with many on here that unless Foles is gone, TT does not make much sense.

I think his opportunity to run the Chargers was also short lived considering they used the 6th overall pick on Herbert. Even if he had not had the lung puncture, he would have been on a short leash

Ok....so lets look at "both sides of the coin"

....... however we should not forget that while he had some good stats in Buffalo he was benched for Nathan Peterman.

You might want to add when they inserted Peterman he threw FIVE ints in a half and the Bills promptly went back to Taylor.

From a mental & physical standpoint, Taylor makes more sense. Also keep in mind, foles was replaced by Mitch.

Yeah the Bills really screwed up by throwing Peterman into the game and he promptly tries to break the record of most interceptions in a single game....

I stated in a later post that if Foles is gone, I would get behind Taylor and a draft pick, but Taylor and Foles, just does not make much sense, because let's be honest, both are placeholders/career backups.

I want the starter or the backup to be the possible future for the Bears, we have gone into too many seasons with a journeyman or Backup as the starting QB.

I agree. So I have no problem dropping foles. IMO Taylor would be better "starting material" than foles. But regardless we need to draft and develop a Qb. Then we have to deal with how to move forward or not with Mitch. So a lotta "moving parts" that have to be resolved.

Why is Taylor Run and Shit's new horse all of a sudden? Did he finally give up on the Terrelle Pryor "bandwagon?"

So why not make more moving parts and bring in a new guy to learn the complex O that Nagy says takes more than a year? WTF?

Foles has an over $10m cap hit if released. Add that to what Taylor would require. Trade Foles and it still an over $5m cap hit.

Right now, you keep Foles and either bring in a top starter or draft one. We don't need another fringe starter and have to pay out the nose for it.

Every team that has Tyrod tends to end up with their franchise QB so I'm in.

Would Taylor cost that much though? I honestly don't know. But I kind of feel like Pace will want to go into the draft with at least SOME competition for Foles. Otherwise you're just praying the draft falls your way and that's very risky to do with QB's. (this is of course assuming the Bears don't pull off a mirracle trade for Watson or Wilson)

I mean if Pace goes into the season with Foles and strikes out in the draft at QB then he's good as gone. I think he needs at least one cheap vet as a safety net.

This is where we are at...Tyrod Taylor....

 

[dennehy]

Signing Taylor is just wasting money. You're not saving anything getting rid of Foles, in fact you are losing money by cutting him, even if after June 1. Before June 1 he costs almost $4mil to cut. Taylor might be better than Foles, but he's not that much better, certainly not good enough to make the Bears into a real threat to win any championships. And he's going to cost a few million at least.

I think Foles is viable as a backup. He would cost money to release and you’d have to pay for another

He costs a lot more than that. Check the dead money. $10.33M

He costs about $3.7mil more to cut that he would to keep. $10.3m total to cut.

Tyrod has always been intriguing to me. Unlawful skill set. Super smart. But unable to make that jump to the next level for a multitude of reasons.
