Tenhigh Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I was getting tired of the same old arguments about Whaley being a bad GM, which evil mastermind was responsible for the evil drafting EJ or how Rex is forcing his turrible scheme on the greatest defense on the planet, so I started to read some news from around the NFL. NFL.COM has an article about whether or not the Browns should start Johnny Football this week, and it got me wondering. What would it look like if McCown took the Bills offer over that of the Browns? Do we even sign Taylor? If so, who wins the training camp battle? Where would this team be right now? Is EJ even still a Bill? Any other thoughts? Is Cassel still in football? Is he a Brown? Or would we rather talk about how many draft picks given up to take Sammy (I say 7.96)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) JMO I do think we would have signed TT (McCown would have been in Cassel's place) Hard to say who would have won the TC battle. McCown didn't look good in TC. Was better in season actually. EJ would still be here Unsure if we would have traded McCown to Dallas, but there's a chance. If not I think we would have beaten the Jags if he played but not Cincy. McCown > Cassel IMO but very injury prone.

They had no idea what EJ would be like, just wanted one veteran in like Cassell, McCown was coming off a terrible year and was not going to be named starter, still would have signed Taylor. Taylor beats McCown out. Taylor was the same in preseason as he has been in regular season. Very accurate, great running, showed command of the offense. McCown likely would have shown more than Cassell because of the bigger arm but isn't as efficient. Coaches saw extra dimension Taylor brings. I think Taylor beats him out. EJ is probably still a Bill and they keep three. They got rid of Cassell the first time because it saved them money. It would not save them money to get rid of EJ. Cassell would be signed by someone to be their backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassell would be signed by someone to be their backup. I think McCown would have gotten a much fairer shot at starter that Cassel got, and if he looked decent this place would have been ugly. All things considered, I think I am happy with how it shook out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 things happen for a reason....I know I would totally take McCown as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 They definitely still sign Taylor. They don't trade for Cassel and instead they still have that pick when they are pursuing the trade for Brandon Marshall and he ends up in Buffalo instead of NY. Taylor beats out McCown in preseason and the offense is even better. EJ sticks as the #3. Team wins 7 of 8.....with McCown filling in for injured Tyrod a couple games......and in spite of a lousy defense. Jets enter this Bills game at 2-6.

BarleyNY Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think TT still gets signed, but McCown would have been the starter. TT would have done nicely when he was out injured and the Bills would have another win or two overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtbag Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 if mccown had a time machine, do you think he would choose to go back to the off-season and decide to join the bills or travel back to april 1889 and kill baby hitler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 No way the Bills would go after Brandon Marshall. His salary is over $7M. The Bills had other holes to fill. I'd love to have him on the team, but there's no way he'd be a Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
