Wasn’t that kind of a low hit on Taylor

Taylor gonna be in this league for ten years. He is a solid nfl qb. I agree

This is a 500 team.

Robinson is legit

This game simple to evaluate. They have Mahomes and we don’t. You have to match him at some level Carson.

Mahomes is just different.

Do we really want to get an athletic quarterback and have Scott Turner develop him. He never really took advantage of Taylor’s strengths. No boots. Roll outs. Read option. Scott is not good with athletic qbs.

Scott Turner ain’t the answer.

You get an elite running game with Taylor. With his smarts, innate abilities, and gamer skill set and efficiency, this offense will be hard to contain. Taylor is a chain mover. And, our run game is okay now. I still think we could use another Dawg type back in rotation. An addition. Not to replace anyone. Like a Hassan Haskins! Wink. In other words, I think we might be on to something. As are the Eagles. However, I think Taylor has a more deadly skill set than Hurts. Hurts more feared running. But Taylor is way better reading defenses and getting through his reads quickly. Meaning, he's a much better passer than Hurts. Thus making us even more difficult to defend. Think about it. This offense hasn't even reached its ceiling. I believe there's another level to it.

Let me first start by saying I make my living in marketing. Taylor Henicke is the Joshua Bell experiment. If you don't know the story. Joshua Bell is considered the best violinist in the world. People pay hundreds even thousands to go see him perform live. Well, in this perception experiment he decided to play during rush hour at the Pentagon metro. If you were to watch it, as you will see based on the environment and where he was playing, people viewed him at just an ordinary street performer out getting his hustle on in that context. Yet, he is considered one of the best violinists in the world. The perception of where he was playing undoubtedly altered people's reality of him. It was how people viewed him. Not how he played. He is one of the best violinist in the world. Context matters. Bias is real. We are all subject to it. I think to an extent this happening to Taylor as well. We often don't realize how we are swayed and manipulated to think certain ways about certain things. To have biases. Particularly when things don't fit the normal narrative. Or, our normal narrative. In regard to Taylor, based on his physical metrics and draft status, he is not really supposed to be doing what he's doing in the NFL with only four starts. He is an anomaly. He is outplaying all the rookie qbs by a lot. Sans Mac Jones who hasn't really looked bad. Who's numbers are still not Taylors. Quite frankly, Taylor is out playing many established starters the first month. That's not supposed to happen to someone with only four NFL starts. Is it? It's perception and context. Think about it. Taylor wasn't drafted. Doesn't fit all the physical metrics. Small college. Doesn't have a rocket for an arm. Whereas Kyler Murray isn't judged the same way. Because he went number one and went to a big school where we all saw him perform. He gets the benefit of the doubt. He is even shorter than Taylor. Granted Kylar is faster and has a stronger arm. He is viewed in a much different lite than Taylor coming out. He went number one. He is supposed to be good, right? Yet, if you study Taylor. He too was a college phenom. He broke Steve McNairs college passing record for small colleges. Passed for over 15,000 yards. Top five in college history. Held the record for the most passing yards in a college game. Until a guy named Pat Mahomes came along and broke it. Personally to me. Taylor is poor mans Kyler Murry in style. The operative words are "Poor mans." Even Russell Wilson-ich But, because he was an undrafted free agent just trying to hang on to the league for a few years with one leg in and one leg out, he wasn't necessarily going to get a fair look or the patience of a first round draft pick was going to get. Understandable. Free agents margin for error is a lot less. Now he is getting it. Extensively. With a team and staff that is starting to believe in him. If past performance is any indicator of future results with him. He ain't going to give up the job. If you go to the Vikings board. They were and now are still pissed they let him go. Particularly when Bridgewater got hurt. LOL He just might be the Joshua Bell of the quarterbacks this year. Skewed perception. After almost 30 years since our last Super Bowl and probably 30 quarterbacks shuttled in and out, we just may have gotten lucky and found a true gem thanks to Covid. Whodathunk! Enjoy it. It's how the Cowboys found Romo. We are due to finally get lucky. Good for him. At the least right now, he has given himself a ten year NFL career in this league as a back up. That's a given now. Now can he prove he can be a "Dude." Me thinks yes. But, I'm on the bandwagon. Dude moves the ball. Let's see how he fairs against the Hall of Famers he is going to be going against. Can't wait!! I think he relishes it. It his dream.

Taylor has been proving people wrong all his life. High school. College. And now the pros. To the point, he is comfortable doing it. For whatever reason, he seems "Very good at football." He is betting on himself. Thus far . . . he seems "Special." Let's just keep enjoying it. This organization is due to finally get lucky. After years of futility at the position. It seems all he has ever needed is an organization to give him a chance to grow and evolve. He may not check all the boxes physically. However, he does check them mentally. Dude processes fast. Sees the field. Is mobile. Fits the new breed of quarterbacks. We've gotten lucky. Enjoy it.

So true. And, give Paterson some carries. Be more innovative. That quarterback sneak late was terrible. Game is over. If there was a time to go play action. That was it! It's aggravating. Taylor is skilled and very instinctive. He needs to be featured more. They just need some read wrinkles. He needs to always keep it a few times. It will help the running game. And, he does see the field well. How many times does Scott call the reverse on second down that gets blown up. Happened versus Chargers. Happened today. Taylor ain't the problem. It's coaching.

They didn't attack the linebacking aggressive enough in the off season. It should had been a huge priority. We only drafted one. Should have at least drafted two. And replaced Bostic. The guy I really wanted was Milano. But, he resigned with Buffalo. That is killing us now. Plus, this year we are playing Grade A Quarterbacks. Last year we got by playing a washed up Roethlisberger. No Dak. Burrow for a quarter and half. A benched Hurts. Mullens for San Fran. So we looked better than what we were. The only reason we showed in the playoff game was as result of Taylor's performance. That was on Taylor. We looking like were getting way out coached. Atlanta game will tell a lot.

Taylor just needs a coach and a staff to believe in him. Commit to him. He won’t disappoint. He has innate qualities you can’t teach. Seems Brees like with wheels.

Henicke did all this in both the Panther game and Bucs game with virtually no running game. Makes it even more impressive. Dude has always had the “IT” factor.
