As they say in the investment world- and it applies to the Browns, "past performance is no guarantee of future results." Your coffee fetcher seems to be doing OK bringing in an influx of talent, and tossing the dead weight overboard so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 As just a brief comparison: Games: Taylor 58 games 43 starts Cousins 62 games, 57 starts Record as starter: Taylor 22-20 Cousins 26-30-1 (numbers from pfr....not sure where Taylor's other game went) Att/Comps: Taylor 793/1271 Cousins 1372/2096 Comp. % : Taylor 62.4 Cousins 65.5 Yards: Taylor 9056 Cousins 16,206 TDs: Taylor 51 Cousins 99 INT.s: Taylor 18 Cousins 55 TD% Taylor 4.0 Cousins 4.7 Int% Taylor 1.4 Cousins 2.6 YPA Taylor 7.1 Cousins 7.7 YPC Taylor 11.4 Cousins 11.8 YPG Taylor 156.1 Cousins 261.4 Rating Taylor 91.2 Cousins 93.7 Sacks Taylor 129 Cousins 106 What do these tell us: Cousins was in an offense prone more to throwing. He also took more risks with his throw...given the divergence with the Int. numbers. Taylor was more likely to eat the ball...given his sack numbers.

Hokierw Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Browns getting Tyrod is a good move, Browns should draft theirQB for the future. At a minimum Tyrod will serve well as a bridge but just maybe he will prove valuable for th next 2 or 3 years. Tyrod may not be Brady but he can throw the ball, the Bills gave him no protection and no receivers. I expect this to change with the Browns and you will be happy to have him.

Shady Mccoy Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 My perspective on Tyrod is a little different than the OP's and I am also a Bills fan that watched every game he played. In the 3 years he started if the team fell behind by 10 points at any point in the game we never came back. He has 1 300 yard passing game in his career and it took OT to get it. TT is a team guy and a hard worker but... Most games he throws for under 200 yards and doesn't see guys running wide open. Landry is a great WR but TT won't be able to utilize him correctly because he rarely throws over the middle and never throws anyone open. He also holds on to the ball longer than any QB in the league causing many many sacks. http://www.wgr550.com/articles/opinion/dear-browns-fans Luckily for you guys he's just a backup plan for the guy that you will end up drafting. In our case he was "the guy" and he's nothing more than a bridge/backup in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, he threw very few picks. Our guy last year could almost always be counted on to throw an interception at a critical time. I think the Browns easily could have won 4-5 games if Kizer had the same TD/INT ratio as Taylor. But, if that were the case, he would still be here and Taylor would not.

It's not the OL he holds the ball for a very long time I think the number was 3.71 seconds ( I may be off on that a bit) if he sees the guy and he is wide open he will throw it but he has no anticipation throws. He doesn't throw picks because he doesn't throw it. He had 8 games where he threw for less than 200 yards last season. He threw for 56 yards vs the Saints. He threw for more than 250 yards 3 times. Again I agree he's better as a stop gap/bridge than Kizer. But he's nothing more than a .500 or below QB. I'm excited for your QB of the future and happy TT isn't with us anymore.

So...you think a team that has gone 1-31 the last two years couldn't do with a QB that went 22-20 for you the last 3 years? At least for a bit? You seem to be saying that he was overly prudent with the ball? Well, maybe, but that got you a playoff spot for like the first time since Jim Kelly played, no? Well ....err....actually, I see that it was Doug Flutie. Also....riddle me this: Who the HELL WILL be the QB of the Bills? You don't think it will be Nathan Peterman? Are the Bills going for one of the FAs? I have never heard their name in connection with the Kirk Cousins venture. Are they going to go after Keenum, McCarron, Bridgewater, Bradford? Some other name? Are they going to go after a QB in the draft? It seems they have to. Do they plan to take one at #21 or #22.....GOD forbid its #22!! Or do they plan to package both picks to move up? Do you think they are talking to the Browns for #4? To make that trade work....on the "old" value chart.....the Bills would have to give the Browns #21, #22, plus give us back #65 https://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm Under the new "Harvard Chart".....the #21 and #65 would do. We can see how that argument could go back and forth. https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/pages/the-harvard-trade-value-chart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 So....let's put it out there to the patrons here. The Bills are now as desperate...or even more so...as the Browns were for a QB. Would you trade #4 overall to the Bills for #21, #22 and get back #65? Or would you accept something less than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can take a year of Taylor compared to the horrible stench Kizer left on the field on a regular basis. We probably would have won a game or four last year if Deshone hadn't been a turnover machine- especially in the Red Zone. So I have to ask- what's the plan now in Buffalo at the quarterback position? Stay put, and probably take the #4-5 quarterback, try to move up, or make a play for Keenum or one of the other FA qBs? 1 minute ago, The Gipper said: So....let's put it out there to the patrons here.

No, I wan't MORE than that Gip. We totally blew the picks we got trading down from Julio Jones, and at least this year, I don't want a repeat. I'll trade down- but no lower than the Jets pick.

One of the non-Barkley RBs. Maybe Josh Jackson CB Iowa....if they are still looking for a CB. They got one....and may get another in FA. NO OTs seem first round worthy...fair to say? A DE/OLB?

MHO is that's all that's going to be left at #12. You may well have to package #12 and #22 to move up higher- as the Eagles did to land one of the top 3. EDIT: In theory, the #12 and #22 is a fair trade for our #4. To get to the Colts #3, they'd have to offer more. Stay tuned, it's starting to get interesting.

Signing Taylor doesn't mean we are drafting Mayfield. It means he found him to be the best available bridge QB. I'm pretty sure Todd Haley can draw gameplans for big strong-armed QBs too. Zombo also could be that they were worried about a F.A Q.B may not want to play for the Browns unless we threw mad cash at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are still in the same boat as the Browns were: needing both a veteran bridge QB plus a top prospect...which I think you can now get. Who is your Golden Gate? Your Mackinac? Your Royal Gorge?

Now Buffalo would have to sweeten the pot to the tune of 220 pts. They throw in #65....and they are right there....even a bit much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with Gipper, Taylor may at best be "average" but let me enlighten you about the absolute garbage Kizer inflicted on long suffering Browns fans last year. Deshone had six games where he threw multiple picks, (three twice against the Ravens and Colts- the Indy game was very winnable minus those ) only one game where he was interception free. Eight games where his QBR was under a pathetic 55. Numerous deep passes where he had WRs open for certain touchdowns, and young DK couldn't get the ball in the same area code. Tyrod is Aaron Rodgers in comparison to Kizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm cool with Taylor as the bridge QB, but it's going to be interesting how he's viewed here come September. From what I've heard from Buffalo writers who covered him, he gets sacked a ton because he holds onto the ball forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
