Three quarterbacks are chosen to represent each conference in the Pro Bowl. Bills QB Tyrod Taylor believes he should be one of them. Taylor, who has punched his ticket to the Pro Bowl in 2015 and 2016, has had his peaks and troughs this year.
In week 10, Taylor was benched for rookie Nathan Peterman, who had one of the worst starting debuts in NFL history–throwing five picks on just 14 attempts.
For comparison, Taylor’s career interception percentage of 1.4 is the best all-time for NFL quarterbacks with at least 1,000 pass attempts, the Washington Post reports.The Bills beat the Chiefs yesterday to improve to 6-5, and currently have a playoff spot. Taylor hasn’t been spectacular, but he’s been more than competent, especially for a franchise who hasn’t made the playoffs in close to two decades. But Taylor has frustrated Bills fans with his affinity to play it safe, hold onto the ball for too long, and fail to extend leads.
Taylor’s stats are more impressive than a QB who a coach would bench for a dude who threw more interceptions in the first half than Alex Smith, Tom Brady, Tyrod Taylor, Drew Brees, Dak Prescott, Jared Goff, Kirk Cousins, Case Keenum and Carson Wentz have thrown ALL season.
Record: 6-4
Touchdowns: 12
Interceptions: 3
Yards: 2,025
QBR: 7th in AFC
Taylor has his flaws, and many Buffalo fans perceived the 28-year-old’s Pro Bowl plea as laughable.
