After he got his feet under him he played well.
A lot of negative Nelly's here.
After 3 years of Taylor nobody remembers how important it is for the QB to play his best late in games....

You said you have high expectations. Do you have a crystal ball? Tebow was a National Championship QB at FLA and that means zip in the NFL. Yo'ure just getting all huffy because he played at Alabama.
Everybody is different, as is every situation.... If they weren’t this game would be simple.

Where a player is drafted doesn't matter. If AJ developed into a better QB, then he would have supplanted Dalton.

Had Burflct not !@#$ed up the playoff game, maybe things would of went different in Cinci for AJ.... Fact is, Lewis is happy with Dalton and AJs limited reps weren’t gonna change that.
We’re about to see more of AJ, so we’ll know soon how good he really is. I’m not writing him off because he couldn’t outseat another teams franchise QB

If what he's saying was the case, Alex Smith would still be in KC.
Having reasonable expectations is not rooting against him.
The Chiefs situation with Alex Smith and Mahomes is totally different. They fell in love with Mahommes and the writing was on the wall for Smith the minute he was drafted.
The Bengals on the other hand had their guy in place and drafted AJ in the 5th round.

It's stupid to not play a better player at any position including QB.
Starting QBs are not gonna get sat when they lead their team to the playoffs year in year out. The backup gets limited reps, he may look good but he’s just not gonna get that shot unless the starter is playing flat out terrible.

Doesn't matter. If McCarron was a better QB he would have mounted a significant challenge with a chance to supplant Dalton who has been very much up and down in hi Bengals' career.
It does matter. The HC is happy with his play. 5 playoff appearances in his 7 years in the league. Lewis isn’t gonna just have an open competition at QB when he has a guy he trusts. It’s !@#$ing stupid to even think that.

It's not as if Dalton has been great.
Led his team to 5 playoffs appearances. Might not of been great but he’s been a pretty consistent player in this league for years. Marvin Lewis likes him and he trusts him.

If he was anything to get really excited about, he should have been able to mount a more serious challenge to Andy Dalton as the Bengals' starter.
When teams have a starting QB in place they are happy with the guy behind really doesn’t get many opportunities does he?
4 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said:Again. We've already seen that and he played just okay.
Do you just expect guys to step on the field for the first time and be a finished product?

Oh great, could've seen this coming a mile away, Bills fans enamored with the mediocre QB hoping he will be the next Tom Brady.
Hes about to get a big opportunity with us, what he does with it is up to him. A franchise QB is found on the field not where they are drafted. Nobody is guaranteed. AJ is new to the team and their are some positives about his game that has people excited about. He had a lot of good qualities coming out of college where a lot of scouts said in time he could be a good starting QB. This could be his time. Dalton is the Bengals franchise guy, backups don’t get many opportunities when teams have a guy they can count on.

Yes.Gettleman took the Giants GM post so he could help out Beane and the Bills?This crappola is getting so old now.The Giants brought him on because they want to win now,keeping the fans at a even keel mentally...if they trade out of #2 for draft picks..the new York media would be screaming for his head...and the Giant "not so softly fans "would riot.We are not talking about a trade up with Jacksonville here....
The Giants have needed a better RB for years, I don’t think they will pass up a shot at Barkley. Only way they trade is if the Browns take him #1.

McCarron has played his position well in college and the small sample we seen with Cinci.... He has played with a lot of good players but did his job, that’s all we need him to do. He’s not here to move mountains, just to do his part. This team can go a long way with a QB who can make simple reads, some easy throws and who’ll will give the WRs a few opportunities to make plays.... A 4th quarter drive or two per season would help also. This D and MCCoy can carry us again this season.

Let's be real about this and admit that NFL teams weren't very anxious to see what he can do in a starting role. He'll have an opportunity to prove everyone wrong, but it's best to temper expectations.
I have no real expectations. Just see a guy who has played his position well.

I think he'll be an okay QB, but they better get more talent in the receiving corps to support him. He was just okay for CIN when they had AJ Green, Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu, and Tyler Eifert.
And it continues.... AJ has been getting blackballed since college for the talent around him. He has a lot of qualities to like as a QB. Even in his scouting report years ago their was so much to like about his strengths and then his weakness was being surrounded by talent and he seemed cocky.
Now getting the same treatment here for his time on the field with the Bengals. I agree they are good players but AJ did his job as QB during those games he was forced into the starting roll. If Burflict didn’t !@#$ that playoff game we could of easily seen a change in QB for Cinci the next season. They were down 15 zip in the 4th and AJ helped them take the lead.... His other loss during the stint came in OT against the Broncos who just happened to go on to win the Super Bowl.
Yeah, he’s played with quality players but he has done his part also. There is a lot to like from his time in BaMa and Cinci. If there wasn’t a QB frenzy this offseason I think we wouldn’t of been able to land him myself. FA was just filled with guys who had some success plus more time on the field. I’m eager to see what he can do.

I'm not saying AJ won't be an upgrade over Tyrod but they both have one thing in common. Both weren't good enough to dethrone Flacco or Dalton. I view McCarron as a good insurance policy. We still have to draft someone (other than Allen) from this class.
Thats about the dumbest thing I ever heard. It’s not like every team has an open qb competition every year in TC. And Flacco and Dalton are proven players in this league.

he's too short to play in the NFL. he's just too short. after watching Taylor struggle with batted balls all year and trying to find openings to throw the ball through, my QB needs to be tall and stand tall and throw tall... you can't coach size. B M doesn't have it for today's NFL.
Hes already proved he can throw through windows, Tyrod never done that during his college years.... Brees, Wilson and Rogers proved they could do this in college also, all of the slid in the draft.... I think we will be able to get Mayfield at 12 come the end of April, and it would be a mistake to pass him up.

My point was that his career in college and so far in the pros has been that of a risk-averse QB. Now there are some fans that think that McCarron is going to be this big time gunslinger which given the profile of McCarron isn't likely. Hell given the nature of McD as a coach (very conservative football turnover averse) I don't know why people's expectations of McCarron being anything different than a conservative game manager exist. I honestly think that a lot of the same complaints people had about Tyrod (never throws downfield checks down on third and long) will exist about McCarron.
I got no problem with a him being conservative as long as he makes some plays when needed. That was Tyrods biggest weakness.
We won’t know what we got until he’s on the field. He looked pretty solid in the short stint Dalton was out, made some big plays down the stretch in that playoff game and had them in position to win. He could be more refined now after extra time on the bench.

Relax dude i just want to talk about AJ McCaron and our receiving corps.
And i enjoy talking about former bills players. Why they find sccess elsewhere . Literally haven't dropped tyrod's name in here.
The receivers are bad. On paper. In a vacuum, are you happy to proceed with this argument. They have accomplished nothing in the NFLshort of KB'S overrated mediocre rookie season. Half the player AJG is. He slow as dirt
If you want to talk about former WRs, their play here goes hand and hand with Taylor. Hard not to have a conversation without it. Just saying they sucked isn’t realistic because numerous had gone on to have success elsewhere.

Well we had injuries with Goodwin and watkins. And without Robert woods this year, we were trotting out nobodies. Would have liked to retain him don't see how he doesn't fit the mcd mold. But he was pricey
All the excuses keep coming for Taylor don’t they. When these guys were on the field he still hesitated to throw them the ball.. It’s hard to judge any of Taylor’s targets on their time together. He just didn’t throw to them on a regular basis.... We only seen A.J. with quality WRs but he made quality throws, hopefully he’ll be able to get more out of these guys then Taylor has. We’re about to see and I look forward to it.

You're certainly correct, can't fault him. Just seems like the QB that needs that talent. Not a bad thing, almost every QB does.
Every neutral fans i talk to are all in agreement the bills had the worst receiving group by far last year. It's actually uncanny i don't usually see such an absolute consensus.
Peope say that every year. Our WRs success goes hand and hand with our QB. Numerous guys have left that a lot of people have complained about over the years and had more success with anothe QB besides Taylor

AJ was good, when he threw to AJ Green last year, Bengals 3rd receiver was better than whoever we trotted out as our best (who? Deonte Thompson??). Mind you KB's best year was his rookie year where he scratched 1003 yards with an MVP QB. He was OKAY, with a lot of drops. A BETTER WR is Steve Smith Sr. who had over 1200 yards in Cam's rookie year . So imagine if you're playing sand volleyball with ODBJ, look pretty good, and get signed to a team where you play volleyball ball with Jonah Hill. In a team sport. The onus ain't on the quarterbacks folks.
Good signing, but keep in mind, It takes 2 to tango.
It's unfair to be judged by performance? I'll call back Walmart to give them a piece of my mind and show how unfairly I was evaluated.
EDIT: I See your point, not a criticism of your comment
So the quality throws had nothing to do with it and it was all the WRs? He mad big plays and a lot of the catches looked effortless because of ball placement and timing. I agree we don’t have the WRs the Bengals had but you can’t knock who is making quality throws because he has good WRs..:. It’s not like they were making acrobatic catches all over the field. You been watching Taylor too much. Remember all the good WRs he had? Probably not because they left and looked better once they did.

To be honest, if the rookie they draft can't beat out McCarron then there may be a more serious problem.
A.J. was pretty solid when he got significant action, what makes you think he hasn’t Improved since then?

Again, thanks for the clarification. I don't follow college football that close. I also don't have anything against him and of the power 5, to me looks like the best.
Hes super accurate and throw with a lot of anticipation. His receivers get alot of YAC. He does a great job seeing through windows despite his height. Wilson and Brees were the same way in their college days. No guarantee, but I think it will translate into the NFL

I did not. Thanks for clarifying that. If he's so good, why did he get beat out?
He got injured and didn’t finish the season. He didn’t get beat out, they would not commit to him starting next year and he felt he had already earned the spot.

Whenever I think of a "walk on", I think of someone like Rudy. Not a guy that gets a full ride to a football factory and quits because he's not the starter and goes elsewhere. If we do draft him, AJ will be our only QB that didn't have to do that.
You do know he walked on to Texas Tech and earned the starting job as a freshman.
