Tyrod

[Tornado700]

They had a poll question during the game. "Would you be comfortable with Tyrod Taylor if he had to replace Flacco?"

My immediate response was an overwhelming NO. You're either a first or second. TT is a second.

[Geronimo]

 

One more time.

i'm saying neither really Tornado, you could put him in there maybe a couple of plays here and there, you could put him in just to hand the ball off, but the threat of him could make the defense uneasy, you could have a package for Tyrod that you use sparingly throughout the season not even every game but have the package in case you run up against some teams that look like you might could have some success using his package against them once you break a teams defensive film down. i like how most people are turning this into something i'm not even saying. Never said Tyrod should be the starter, but there could be a niche for him in this offense, just hate to see talent not being used.

How many trick plays did this year's Super Bowl teams roll out? He's a backup...the fact that the coaches are telling him to stay in the pocket and make throws is very telling of how they view him as a pocket passer. Stop running and make plays with your arms, not your legs....

I know he's a backup, never said he was a starter, and just as long as a play is being made, why does it matter if it's with his legs or his arm. Long term yes he has to make some throws, i saw him make some throws in the first preseason game, but if he's in the game for a few plays a game, it really doesn't matter if he runs for a first down or throws for it, just as long as a positive play is being made. Once again Flacco Fan Boy, i'm not at all suggesting that Tyrod replace Flacco as our starter.

You're putting him in as a gimic...an easily defended gimic...that's what I'm saying. Not one mention of Flacco.

you can call what i'm saying what you want, if you choose to call it a "gimmick" as to put some negative connotation to it then so be it. So what's the "gimmick" thats so easily defended?

[Geronimo]

Didnt Tyrod play 90% of a game 2 years ago, I think we had the playoff seed locked up and rested some starters..We lost at the bengals, he might be an option for a few trick plays here and there, but for him to have his style for an entire game...It only takes a quarter for a team to adjust their play to neutralize Tyrods play.

Didn't we lose to the Bengals last year when we needed to win to make the playoffs? Flacco was the QB then so what's your point. And thats all i'm saying, put him in for a few plays a game, and they don't necessarily have to be "trick" plays. I like how you Flacco Fan Boys use words like "trick"plays "gimmick"plays to try and put some negativity around anything that Tyrod may accomplish on the field. If tyrod comes in and hands the ball off is that a "trick" or a "gimmick"? If he comes and and does a play action pass is that a "trick" or a "gimmick"? Tyrod should have a package that should be in play every week, whether it's used or not is a different question but the threat of using a "Tyrod package" should always be in our opponents mind.

All said, it makes you wonder when Ozzie and Co secure a legit backup. We have been walking a very fine, fragile line for 3 + years.

If we lose Flacco for any period of time, we own the bottom of the AFCN and become the next Cleveland Browns.

If tyrod could be successful as a pocket qb don't you think would of traded him? He's making big bucks for a back up

I don't know about that one. They won a SB with 2 junk QBs

[Robjr83]

I don't know about that one. They won a SB with 2 junk QBs

 

And a legendary defense...

[varaven45]

With the legendary D - and Ray and Ed - being the key. That ship has sailed.

They have been walking a tight rope. If Joe had gone down and TT was the starter it would look bad.

The Ravens have not had a legendary D for about 4 yrs.

There’s another potential outcome if the Texans part ways with backup Case Keenum.

“If the Texans opt to trade or cut Case Keenum, and keep just two quarterbacks on their roster, I can't imagine the Ravens wouldn't inquire,” La Canfora wrote.

“It's been up and down for Ravens back-up Tyrod Taylor, while Keenum already knows this system inside out from his time with Baltimore Offensive Coordinator Gary Kubiak in Houston. The Texans got a linebacker from Atlanta for backup TJ Yates; Keenum would be valued higher than that.”

Taylor continues to have uneven performances in camp, according to reports. He did deliver a couple long touchdown passes wide receivers Michael Campanaro, Marlon Brown and Jace Davis.

In team drills over the weekend, Taylor didn’t take off running with the ball, and instead stood in the pocket. It’s rare to see that from the athletic and speedy quarterback, which makes The Sun’s Jon Meoli think that was a specific plan.

“After he ran the ball five times and was sacked three times Thursday, quarterback Tyrod Taylor appeared to be under clear instructions not to tuck the ball and run Saturday,” Meoli wrote. “He didn’t have much success through the air, though. A few big plays aside, Taylor tended to speed through his reads and settle on his checkdown receiver, who typically was covered.”http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Late-For-Work-811-Never-Seen-Anything-Like-It/03295ea9-c426-4b0d-bd4a-77973d0d0839

[papasmurfbell]

Yeah that makes a great deal of sense. You also cut Wenning and put him on the practice squad.

I agree with you 100%. TT does have some assets- running with the football in open field. Maybe Kubiak has some plans for him that we don't know about.

We didnt have Ed in 2000, that legendary D was made up from a bunch of good FA's and a bunch of good young guns.

[GrubberRaven]

Guess we'll be seeing a lot of Geronimo/Rasta...Troy got benched...more free time fella(s)?

Im surprised he lasted this long.

[rastaman831226]

Don't know what you bubbleheads are complaining about. Tyrod Taylor has looked good in this Kubiac offense.

[cravnravn]

Against nobody's sure he has looked good, so did Kyle boller

[ravinmaniac52]

I liked Troy a lot but he just never had it.

 

At least he has given up.

 

Unless the Texans let go of one them QBs that played for Kubiak, TT will be the guy, and even so, there is a chance they could carry 3 QBs, still only if one them QBs get cut.

[rastaman831226]

Against Washington, Tyrod looked good again. Why did they draft Wenning? Deonte Thompson also looked good again and should be a definite to make yhe final 53 man squad.

[vmax]

Last night, with a crappy O line, Tyrod looked like he could start for 2-3 teams in the NFL....the ones with real crappy QB's.

 

The Ravens have to make plans to find the next back up for Joe because Tyrod deserves a shot to start somewhere.

[cravnravn]

Maybe Tyrod is content being a backup on a winning team?

[rastaman831226]

Would like to see Tyrod run with the ones for change. He's making leomomade outta lemons with the two's in Kubiak's system. Who is Wenning?
