Cleveland Browns made Tyrod Taylor their starting quarterback over 2018’s No.1 overall pick Baker Mayfield at the beginning of the season and were firm on keeping it that way until the end of the season. But Taylor suffered a concussion in Week 3 game against the NY Jets with Mayfield stepping in and leading the Browns to a win.
Tyrod Taylor recovered from the concussion rather quickly, but the never got his starting job back. It wasn’t the smooth transition for the 29-year-old, and he recently told reporters that it’s been “frustrating” for him to go from a starter to a backup.
“It is frustrating, but it is a part of the game at the same time,” – Taylor told reporters on Wednesday. “Eight years in, you understand some things happen that you can’t control. Not wanting to complain, just have to continue to keep being myself day in and day out, continue to be a leader and like I said, help the team in any way. This is a different role, but I am here to offer as much knowledge, as well as just trying to share my viewpoint of things, that can help the defense or offense.“
But despite his frustration, Taylor isn’t thinking about asking for a trade.
“It really has not been a part of my mindset,” – he added. “Just more so have been focusing on getting better each and every day. Those things happen in the league. That really has not been a part of my mindset.“
Tyrod Taylor joined the Cleveland Browns in March 2018 from Buffalo Bills, where he was the starting quarterback for three years and earned a Pro Bowl appearance during that time. In two and a half games with the Browns, Taylor completed 48.8 percent of his passes for 462 yards and two touchdowns.
