Pine Barrens Mafia Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 With each passing day I have less confidence in our ability to draft a good qb. Admittedly I don’t know much about mccarron , though. Anyone got the skinny on this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be a long off season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Andy Dalton has, for the last what, 6 years been looked at as the definition of average. "The Andy Dalton scale". Not bad. Not good. Just the tepid water of the NFL starting QB scale. And at no point has AJ McCarron made a serious push to unseat that. Now, I understand he may (or may not) be an improvement over what we have now, but what aim for a guy that can't even rise above average? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasovon Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 See Mike Glennon for why you don't go after a mediocre team's backup QB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills1212 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Why Not? The correct question is why? I'm no qb expert, and 2 years back I loved the guy. But, as mentioned above... If you can't at least push mr avg, it stands to reason it's bc he is below avg.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomper Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Why hasn't he seen the field? Look at the acumen of their coach. McCarron is definitely worth a look if it's at a reasonable deal. There is a reason why he is appealing to the league to change his status to free agent. Cincy won't let him go. Why is that if he's just another replaceable backup?

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I wouldn't give anything up to get him. I also put him either below or on par with Glennon and McCown as QBs I'd rather go into 2018 with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Realistically, good QBs seldom hit FA. Mostly they're back ups, and not necessarily good ones. Cousins is the best FA QB since Peyton was released by Indy. Before that, the best QB to hit FA was Brees. However much some fans may not like it, Taylor may be the best the Bills can do for a veteran QB. Cousins is the only likely FA who would be better, and he's going to command big $$$. Bradford would be better but how long are his gimpy knees going to hold up? The preseason? Half a season? One game? Both Glennon and McKown are career backups. Cutting Taylor and bringing in McCarron is the definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Taylor is not "the answer" but he's certainly better than McCarron. Maybe the Bills can bring back Thad Lewis ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
