WildCard Posted March 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I ask again: what is it that people see in McCarron? I'm fine with him as a backup, but u really never want to see him play. Because for one year he's fine to have as your starter, especially with what's available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Because for one year he's fine to have as your starter, especially with what's available Is he? Do we have any evidence for this whatsoever? He has 3 starts in his career, and they were all in 2015. He was a 5th round pick with no pedigree to speak of. His primary job in college was letting Alabama's defense win games. I'm just not seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at this point we either go with known bad players or the unknown possibly good player. I'd rather role the dice on McCarron and have him completely flop then throw Matt Moore out there and know he's going to be a typical backup player Edited March 14, 2018 by Jokertecken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoPre Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I used to think this, but I'm just not so sure anymore. These days I'm more of the mind that someone who gets ruined by starting too soon probably wasn't going to be good anyway, and the good ones will figure it out. If I had a dollar for every time I heard Deshaun Watson would have to sit for 1-2 years....Dak Prescott was going to need development time...and so on. Jared Goff didn't look like an NFL player. Gets a good coach, and now he's a legit starter. His early experience didn't ruin him. I'm too lazy to look for more examples, but do a cursory scan of the league and tell me how many of the top-10 QBs sat for any meaningful length of time. It's easier than ever to play QB in this league: you take fewer hits, defenders can't breath on receivers, offenses are spreading it out, and so on. Especially if we get Rosen or Mayfield, I don't see what they'd gain by sitting. I ask again: what is it that people see in McCarron? I'm fine with him as a backup, but u really never want to see him play. McCarron would be a bridge quarterback. Have him start a season, while the rookie qb can gain a better understanding of the NFL. If the qb the Bills draft is franchise, don't rush him. That's really the only reason I want McCarron in Buffalo. You may be right though. Today's NFL is much different than 20 years ago.

Even if McCarron starts, he probably holds off the rookie for what, 3 games? It's just not worth the role of the dice for someone you ultimately want on the bench. Get the established backup who you know can do the job and will be happy enough doing it, and let the kid you draft play. McCarron would be a bridge quarterback.

Something is cooking, but it doesn't seem to be positive. Maybe I'm just jaded.

Taylor should have been kept to help groom whichever rookie is Jesusy enough for them to draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dominator Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 This is just annoying. Hate when they do stuff like this I hate it too. Sends everyone into a frenzy. I'm expecting it to be a trade for a vet QB. I'm afraid it's a trade that we give up some sort of valuable asset. Who knows, but I think Sal wouldn't choose that emoji if it was a resoundingly positive rumor he was hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlueGED Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 I'm really surprised you want to throw a rookie into the fire like this right away I just think the whole "sit a year then play" is a pretty antiquated notion that was applicable in a different era of football. Offensive coaches are better than ever at coaching to their players, and college concepts are prevalent throughout the league. The adjustment simply isn't what it used to be. In some ways I think delaying starting only slows down development; there is only so much you can learn about NFL defenses without seeing them in game action. This is just annoying. Hate when they do stuff like this Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPre Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Maybe Beane is going for a big trade? Going for Luck? W/ no free agent qb signed, the Bills could be entering training camp w/ a top 3 pick and Peterman as starter/backup. I just don't see Beane doing that. Too risky for him. Beane had to make the other trades w/ almost complete certainty another trade or free agent signing would happen. W/ "thinking" emoji's being posted on twitter, I'm guessing trade.

Brawndo Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Albright was on GR this AM and expanded on his tweet. A lot of media have gotten from their sources that the Bills really like Allen, so much he so that he is beginning to believe it’s a smokescreen. Cleveland is not attending Mayfield’s or Rosen’s Pro Day because the belief is they are taking Darnold. And True is correct, If the rookie isn’t quite ready this season, Peterman can start until he is. I believe the Bills are going to rely a lot on the running game with McCoy this year. And during the next offseason when they have the almost 90 Million in cap space start to get offensive weapons in FA for the new QB, following the same plan the Bears have for Mitch Trubisky.

W/ "thinking" emoji's being posted on twitter, I'm guessing trade. Peter King speculated that the Colts with as many holes on their roster as they do would be interested in trading back for 12, 22, 54 and 65 allowing the Bills to move to 3.

Samson's Flow Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Haven't been this glued to Bills offseason in years. Checking every 10 minutes to see if a trade has gone down. Crazy! I hear you. It's even crazier that Free Agency hasn't even started officially yet, but we already have multiple trades and reported signings for the Bills alone, not even considering the rest of the league. The NFL knows how to make their league interesting 365 days a year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see where they move up too; if its outside the top 5 I'll believe its Allen. Other reason I doubt Allen is because they haven't bought it a real vet to start. Allen is going to need time, its not a big secret that he's raw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
