Tyrod Taylor's 89.6 career rating is higher than Joe Flacco, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson, all SB winners this century who got rings with teams that had dominating defenses. That 89.6 rating looks even better when you factor in he played 80 percent of his games with the Bills.
Welcome Easton Stick, QB, NDSU

I'm not sold yet that he is a future starter. He had an impressive game against the Cards, but he has a ways to go before he is ready to start a regular season game. He does have the look that he could, at a minimum, be a solid backup.
As far as Tyrod, I don't think he is being brought in to be a long term QB. He is a stop gap in case Rivers doesn't resign. Otherwise, he is a backup who can play well enough as a starter to give a very realistic chance of winning. He has never had as many weapons available in Buffalo as he has with us. He isn't going to be as good as Rivers, but he is a solid player who gives us options at a time, where Rivers age makes the QB thing a potential issue.

Hmmm, ways to go. If a rookie QB like him started on any team, would he be at the bottom on the league? If started on a team with a killer D, top receivers, and a pretty decent running game (that he would be contributing to, lol), would he be a detriment, or on balance an asset? Just seeing the little I have, if I didn't have Rivers I'd start him, and be okay with the growing pains. What's nice is we have Tyrod as a stop gap QB. But again, on balance and looking at the quality and lack thereof of starting QBs in this league, I think Stick might be closer than you think. How good can he be? Dunno, but the game at this level is not too big for him (whereas it is for quite a few "NFL QBs").
Time will tell.

In anycase, ill say gain, we will be drafting a high round QB in the next two seasons.
But...I think if he doesn't continue to make strides, and Rivers seems declining...then maybe. Otherwise, I'm looking at more like 3 plus years before we make a big splash...if at all.
Got my fingers crossed on Stick. Like the kid.Mock version 3.0-The "Double Mitchell"

Lets see how he does but can't see them resting their lorals on him, at least not at this point.Last edited by Boltjolt; 08-15-2019, 07:10 PM.
