The return of Tyrod Taylor
By: Jake Rajala
It’s official: the Green Bay Packers signed free agent Tyrod Taylor. I believe it was a wise decision to bring in TT. Jordan Love missed two games last season and two games in the season before that. Let’s also not ignore the fact that he still threw as many touchdowns as Jacoby Brissett last season. He may benefit from more knowledge.
The Packer are infamous for producing backup QBs that shine for a game then leave to get overpaid elsewhere. Of course, I’m talking about Matt Flynn and Malik Willis. Taylor may looking at following in their foot-steps. You can never say he’s too old to cash out. Joe Flacco is 41 years old and Aaron Rodgers is 42 years old!
The football gods haven’t been kind to TT. If he didn’t have a medical mishap, he would have started for the Los Angeles Chargers. After his stint with the Chargers, he went to the Big Apple and went 2-3 with the GMEN. He then went 1-3 withe NYJ last season. It’s safe to say he’s as popular in NY as President Trump is.
T-Mobile may be a backup in the NFC North, but that doesn’t mean all the starters are above him. I would insert him above J.J. McCarthy.
There aren’t many stout free agent QBs available. I wouldn’t have to go out on a limb to say that Aaron Rodgers wouldn’t return to Green Bay. Jimmy G is contemplating retirement and then I’d say that Taylor is superior to Russell Wilson.
