What if Tyrod Taylor plays lights out?
By Steve King
When it comes to the Browns, and in particular their quarterbacks, there’s an 800-pound gorilla in the room that everybody is choosing to ignore.
Here at brownsdailydose.com, one of my specialties is paying full attention to such behemoths. And so I will.
Simply put, what if Tyrod Taylor plays really well this season and the Browns win more games than just about anyone thought they could?
What if the quarterback who is supposedly here only to keep the seat warm until the Browns think that rookie Baker Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, is ready – what if the quarterback who is to be just the bridge to Mayfield, and nothing more – instead is actually the guy who puts back the club back on the road to success?
What happens then?
Huh? What? Taylor plays lights out? And the Browns play lights out? Well, uh, that won’t happen because that’s not the plan.
Whoa! Wait a minute. You’re saying that it won’t happen? Or that it can’t happen? Those are two totally different things. And yes, it can certainly happen. Anything is possible, and as such, it is not out of the question that it could happen. Did you see how good Taylor looked in Thursday night’s 20-10 victory over the New York Giants in the preseason opener?
Does Taylor, regardless of how he plays or how the Browns play, still get pulled at some point to make room for Mayfield?
Do the Browns, who have not had a winning season since 2007 and have not had consistently good quarterback play since the heyday of Bernie Kosar in the last half of the 1980s, dare pull the plug on that just to follow some pre-determined blueprint?
I just can’t believe they would kill that off. I just think that the Browns, especially head coach Hue Jackson, who is on thin ice and absolutely, positively has to win some games — perhaps even close to half of them – in order to keep his job, would commit what I consider to be professional suicide.
What do you think if Tyrod Taylor plays lights out?

Agreed Tyrod wins Tyrod is the starter…. who says we can’t have two QBs at the same time???? Dual threat QBs are allot harder to prepare for… if they both Excel why can’t we alternate them? I don’t see the problem here…. Sounds to me like the media is trying to make a problem out of nothing….
Rodgers sat behind Favre?
We sit Mayfield unless we get a kings ransom for Taylor and the coaches are comfortable with Mayfield starting otherwise Mayfield sits while Taylor balls out, it aint hard guys…
