Buffalo Bills confirm Tyrod Taylor as starting quarterback

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan announces that he has selected Tyrod Taylor to be the club's starting quarterback for the 2015 season.

Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan has confirmed that Tyrod Taylor will be the club's starting quarterback for the 2015 season.

Taylor signed for the Bills along with Matt Cassel to battle it out with former first-round pick EJ Manuel for the starting signal-caller's position with the AFC East outfit.

Ryan has revealed that the 26-year-old has won the contest to be the starter due to his performances in pre-season and throughout the summer in training camp.

"Obviously, you know about [Taylor's] accomplishments as a runner," Ryan told reporters. "I mean, it's very well documented. When you have more rushing yards than Michael Vick at [Virginia Tech], that's pretty obvious that he has that ability.

"But we brought him in because number one - it's a brand new offense - but how he grasps our offense, and then his ability, not just his mobility, but his ability to throw the ball was the overriding thing. And I think he did a tremendous job of that."

The Bills face the Indianapolis Colts in their season opener on September 13.
