Beane is a genius. Just a reminder that Bridgewater started for 2 years and McCown played well for the Jets last year. McCarron has potential, and 4 starts back in 2015. Actual performance ought to pay better than potential (I realize what with Osweilier in Houston, Daniel in Philly, Glennon in Chicago etc it doesn't always fall out that way) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Checker vs chess. The Jets signing Mccown and Bridgewater after missing out on Cousins checkers. Waiting for the market to shrink and getting a guy 50 cents on the dollar compared to like deals is chess. Still can fill needs of the team through FA still have a crest of picks to get your guys in the draft chess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Great deal - shows competency at the highest level; also seems to indicate, as others have said, that the targeted QB is someone who will need a year or two to reach NFL ready - so Darnold or Allen...?

ngbills Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Funny on multiple accounts. 1) Good work Beane or bad work media? Beane getting credit for AJ not being worth as much as media seemed to think he would. Or Beane has special powers that convinced to walk away from millions to be in Buffalo. I think he was hyped up and reality is teams did not want to pay for a guy with just a handful of mediocre starts. 2) Calling Deal Cheap - if he is the starter and good its awesome deal. If he is a backup and never plays or back up that is no better than Joe Blow why even spend $10M on him. But I get that we needed someone as the backup cause everyone knows its not Peterman.

Exactly - why people think he was getting $20M is odd... Comparing his deal to Bradford and even Glennon makes no sense.

Easy position to take when you are confident that your long term plan is coming from the draft. Even if McCarron went they could've taken Anderson or Moore. Clear direction!

Cheapest backup the AFC? Well, after pretty much every other halfway decent QB was signed, he didn't have many options. Good job by Beane waiting it out. And IDK about cheapest backup, but definitely cheapest starter (for now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Darnold, but he COULD go #1 (as I suppose so cld Allen as anything is possible) I guess as I mentioned before I get worried Rosen and another non mentor type might not be the best atmosphere bc he could start right away...which was the basis of your post. I guess I find it interesting before the halfway point of last season (one wld think before smoke screens matter) someone reported the Bills LOVED Sam. The Rosen one came out later so I thought 'cool, he is my favorite' but that really could have been smoke. That said, I haven't heard the Bills connected to Mayfield yet so maybe they are all smoke screens! Or maybe....haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally half of your 4 criticisms are completely unfounded. Size? He's 6'4" 226 lbs with 9 7/8" hands. And his intermediate and long game was one of the best in college football. And the other 2 are intertwined. His durability has been almost entirely related to his concussions. And Headshots to the QB are something that is more protected in the NFL than in college.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 A Closer Look at QB AJ McCarron | Cover 1 The Alabama product has been Andy Dalton’s backup the last few years, but he was well liked by people within the organization and outside of it. However, being liked doesn’t equate to starting caliber talent. Typically, backup QBs are well liked among franchises because of the type of character those kinds of players must possess. I say this because once I turn on the film, I do not see starting material, and the rumors are that McCarron is going to command a Mike Glennon type contract, which was a three year deal worth up to 45 million dollars. But the deal actually boiled down to 1 year 16 million, so very similar to what the Bills were going to pay Tyrod Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
