MrEpsYtown Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Probably the Matt Moore-Josh Rosen scenario. Or I suppose a Foles trade becomes cheaper as trade options dry up. I do think there is a chance we like McCarron. Edited March 13, 2018 by MrEpsYtown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roundybout Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 McCown. Bridgewater wasn't very good even before his knee exploded, and McCarron will want to start somewhere IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Detective Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 McCarron has, so far, proven nothing; McCown is a journeyman at best and Bridgewater might never be the same after his knee injury. How about, none of them and just trade up for Rosen or Darnold and let them start Day 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I voted McCown because you can get him for cheap and he'd be a great "coach" for Lamar Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 McCown seems to be a good placeholder/bridge guy for (hopefully) Rosen or Mayfield to learn under. Could do a heck of a lot worse than 67.3 %; 2,926 yards; 18 TDs; and 9 INTs while keeping the seat warm. It's basically signing a little bit better of output than Taylor gave us throwing, minus some running, and probably at a discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 McCown. Thought that before this week began too. He's a guy that can still play. He can be productive. It's said he's an excellent mentor that will be sought after to be a QB coach when he retires. Very convenient for us with an inexperienced QB coach, and a highly drafted QB incoming. He's a professional. I think he would play well, but not well enough that too many people will be upset when the rookie takes over. This would be just an amazing "get" for the clubhouse and the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rochesterfan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Out of those three - I would go McCown, but I am not sure any of those 3 are the final choice. I find it it interesting how all of the big name FA QBs are getting very short term deals. Cousins 3 years Bradford 1 year Keenum 2 years Pretty big money, but short deals. I would be happy with a cheaper option for 2 years as a back-up/ bridge. McCown is fine, McCarron is fine, or just about anyone else - keep the cost below 9 million per season and I think we are looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 McCown, not to play, but to help mentor the rookie. He was already offered a QB coach position last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPP Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Mccown is the obvious.....Bridgewater looks to be a jet....and Mccarron would be paid not to be a bridge....i want a top 5 QB rookie pick so play mccown next season or part of it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokinES3 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just can't see Matt Moore being your fallback plan after making the playoffs and not wanting to take steps backwards... McBeane have shown themselves to be smarter than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Now I'm nervous. No one left is a starter. So now we will likely see the rookie sooner than later, and if it's Allen we are in for a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan4 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I don't really care as long as we land one of the top 3 QBs in this draft class! I just hope we don't miss out on a QB in the draft and end up trading a 1st for Foles... Or decide not to trade up and give up a 1st for Foles instead.

Mat68 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 MCcarron, Anderson, and Mccown in that order. I really dont like Mccown. Mccarron is interesting and Anderson would be a very good backup and can play in spot duty if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While those are all facts it does not change the fact that he would be a fantastic signing. Let me ask this. Do you have faith in Dave Culley? Have you seen his resume? McCown brings way more to the table than any other QB on the market right now. It's in the intangibles that he becomes valuable. I don't care that he's 39. That's actually a plus. Hopefully he's not still an active member of the team next year and the rookie is our full time starter. I think Peterman would do extremely well to learn from a vet with solid knowledge. That QB room with a rookie and a guy with 1 NFL season would benefit from a guy like him helping break down film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you do know that McCown has already been offered a job coaching QBs? Right? Hue Jackson, while admitted is a terrible HC is still a good offensive mind. He sees enough to think McCown can do well in coaching. I'll take his opinions on the matter on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
