The Facts: Buffalo has the most-wide open QB competition in the league. And Taylor -- a dual-threat option -- is the wild card of the bunch. The former Virginia Tech standout has thrown a whopping 35 passes in four years. So how has he developed behind the scenes? What kind of quarterback is he? Baltimore safety Terrence Brooks faced Taylor all of last season in practice, in addition to the quarterback’s banner 2010 season in college. Brooks believes Taylor is ready to run the show as a No. 1. “He was definitely a guy who could’ve been a starter," Brooks said. "But he was behind Joe Flacco, a really good guy, too. If we ever needed Tyrod, I was pretty sure he could step up to the job and do it.”

Diehards Line: And on a team with Matt Cassel and EJ Manuel as the top options, who know what might happen. New HC Rex Ryan does seem to have a thing for Taylor. And there's a reason why. Running the Ravens’ scout team through the 2014 season, Taylor mimicked the likes of Cam Newton, Andrew Luck and everyone in the AFC North. But Brooks is quick to say Taylor is more than a running quarterback. “He’s a very versatile quarterback,” said Brooks. “The kid can run. He can definitely sling the ball around. He’s one of my favorite quarterbacks – I loved playing with Tyrod. He always gave us a good look. Whenever we faced a good running quarterback, he always got us prepared. Most of the time, he was doing it better than they did.” Given the circumstances, it's a situation we'll continue to watch closely.
