There was one game I watched near the end of the year where Taylor physically couldn't throw 20 yards. As bad as Manning's arm was, he could still throw a 30-40 yard duck.
Kubiak's offense is built off of taking deep shots and he has historically preferred QBs with immense arm strength. That's why Kaep was their first option, Kaep has one of the strongest arms in the NFL.
Ha, ha, yup. Haven't heard that nickname for Fitz, but he has a tendency of consistently and predictably throwing interceptions late in games to seal the win.... for the other team. Tyrod is great, thinks on his feet, and still hasn't come close to reaching his potential. It would be typical Buffalo though to trade him.... to save a few bucks.pehawk":2ljsj9q9 said:Hawks46":2ljsj9q9 said:I can't imagine that if the Broncos are not interested in Fitzpatrick because of arm strength, that they would be interested in Taylor.
The answer is; legs. The difference is legs. Plus, ya know, Fitzmagic sucks. Last year Fitz benefited from a coach who will routinely get blood from a stone.

Still I believe this is the game you're thinking of, because he has a decent arm. He will never be confused with a guy like Aaron Rodgers or something, but his arm strength is above average.
All that said I have a real hard time believing the Bills trade him unless the Broncos are willing to pay out the ass for him. The Bills have been starved at QB for over a decade and Taylor actually has promise to be a good player. I think Denver is going to have to bite the bullet and draft a QB to compete with Sanchez for the job because all their other options are quickly going away.
kearly":m4tvpw1c said:I've seen Taylor when healthy and my impression is that he's got a good rainbow deep ball, but on the truer tests of arm strength he's a softer, touch pass guy only. Wilson is a touch passer too and it's not an inherently bad thing, but Wilson is also capable of firing rockets when he needs to and I haven't seen one yet from Taylor.
