Call me crazy, but I think Tyrod Taylor will match Luck stat-for-stat, play-for-play, tonight. He's that good of a college QB.
I think in total yards possibly, but I think he'll finish with more rushing yards.
I guess I meant more in terms of his overall performance. Watching them both as college athletes/QBs (not necessarily as pro prospects), Taylor will look just as impressive as Luck when it's all said and done, and might even be the catalyst to pull off the upset over Stanford (IMO).
I can agree with that. I think Taylor is very underrated and underappreciated as a QB prospect coming out this year. There are a lot of coaches out there that think this kid can play, and play well, at the NFL level. He somewhat makes me think of a little faster version of David Garrard.
Nice analogy. What I like most about Taylor is his tenacity....he's like the terminator. You can beat him all to hell, and he'll keep fighting and scratching and will find a way to win (or die trying). He has a little "Jeff Garcia" in him, in that respect.
I actually think he'd be an outstanding developmental guy for a WCO system, and would not in the least be opposed to us drafting him. (If we have a veteran starter picked up).
What we need is:
1) Franchise QB or guy who can get there.
2) Veteran who can start while we groom individual #1.
3) Another veteran who doesn't expect to start, but can also mentor individual #1.
