Interesting that Dorsey doesn't believe it even with Hue lobbying for a guy he helped to develop in CIN.   If AJ is such a good prospect he should have been able to challenge Andy Dalton as the Bengals' starter.  He remains AJ Meh-Carron IMO. 

Perhaps in ways he did challenge A Dalton eh,

 

I mean we never really know what goes on in the minds of the coaches and players until they make the switch.

 

Did you think McD would pull Taylor for Peterman?

Based on everything I saw from Peterman, I believed it to be a mistake and it was even worse than I imagined.  Colossal Failure!

A J could be an improvement over Taylor and you just gave up a high 3rd round pick 

 

I get it...

 

What do you get?

 

We all know that Hue liked AJ but why do people assume that guys like AJ and Keenum are aspiring to sign short, cheap contacts early in FA and commit to being bridge QB's?:lol:

 

It's MORE than safe to assume they've had discussions with AJ's agent and he was looking for a lot more commitment than they were willing to give when they intend to draft a QB early and hopefully make that guy the face of their franchise.

 

Tell me what I'm missing here........love to hear it.:rolleyes:

The Bengals are too stodgy and cheap to ever challenge Andy. He and Marvin are “good enough” ... it’s laughable how they are so complacent

While the outcome may not have been to our likings it helped Buffalo get a better evaluation on the QB position/Peterman in my humble opinion.

I get why Browns fans are saddened by the development

Seriously.  I can't think of a single FA QB with limited playing time who took less money for a chance to compete for a starting job.

The only way this move happens is if there is a deal in place to get our QB. Now THAT is the big news that everyone should be excited about

 

Exactly! Now we will see if it’s in FA or if we trade up and get one of the top 4 QBs in the draft.

Why?  Seems like your answer is you'd just expect some stud QB to come in and agree to be a bridge for your woebegone franchise.

 

It's a bridge QB situation.

 

If they sign McCarron they are on the hook for $50M-$75M when they have NO INTENTION OF GIVING HIM THE KEYS LONG TERM.

 

If he plays poorly you are screwed and if he plays just decent ball.........you have a QB controversy.  

 

Look at the players the Bills usually get with a third round pick............Preston Brown........John Miller........Adolphus Washington...........those are the HITS.......and they are JAGS.........it's a small price to pay for a capable bridge season from a QB if you think you are drafting the next great young QB.

He’s not thrilled because he was probably expecting two 1st rounders for Tyrod...

 

Yeah I mean that happens when you trade players in Madden right? Why wouldnt it happen in real life...

I’m excited to see where the Bills go from here- they obviously have some sort of plan in mind. Id prefer to find “our guy” to stick around for 15+ years, so whatever it takes to get there is fine by me. Would it be nice to get a vet QB and keep as many picks as possible? Sure, if it makes sense. As it stands, we have the resources to get whoever we deem worthy... it’s up to McDermott and Beane to get this right.

 

 

...and with that, I’d like to thank #5 for being a class act and doing his thing. He helped end the drought and put us into a position to get a potential long term answer for our position. Thank you Tyrod.

I'm not saying the trade makes zero sense for the Browns organization because I think players will rally behind Taylor,

 

Myself personally though BAD I feel like Buffalo has gotten a good gauge on Taylors ceiling in the passing department. A J McCarron's ceiling on the other hand has not been determined at the pro level. So as a Brown or Bill fan my preference is to move forward with a QB that might become franchise be it draft or through FA.

 

If that makes any sense and with all due respect sir,

 

and while the 3rd round pick in and of itself doesn't always get the return you would want, the high round pick could be that extra bargaining power we need to get our guy...
