What a freaking joke..........happy for a back up who hasn't shown squat .......how long are we going to keep these blinders on .........2-16 here we come   

 

He cost just 5 million dollars... The same price as Chase Daniel... That is a freaking steal.

Why are you trying to make this thread about Tyrod?

 

This comment is better placed in one of the other 2 million Tyrod threads.

 

Really! Taylor is gone people!  Let's not talk about him anymore!!

They dumbed-down the offense for Foles...and still beat 2 of the best defenses in the NFL.  Not sure I follow that logic.

 

 

No one is saying he/she will stop cheering for the Bills if they overpay for a player.  Again what we're saying is that if you can get a guy for a good deal, it allows you to get more players.

 

 

No, it's really 2 years for $10M, worth up to $16.5 if AJM starts every game the next 2 years.

 

I doubt that’s the incentive... I’ll bet it’s tied to percentage of snaps and the sliding scale likely gets him there far lower than 100%

 

not a big deal but just the more likely structure

You're at a loss because I'm not making my point clear enough.

 

Let me try it another way: if AJ McCarron takes the Bills to the SB this season, is anyone really going to give a crap what the team paid for him? Even if the team went over the cap?

 

No. In fact, hell no.

 

If AJ McCarron ends up leading the BIlls to a 1-15 record, is anyone going to stand around saying "Well, that sucked but at least we're under the cap because we got him for a bargain!"?

 

No. They'll be too busy burning his jersey.

 

The idea of judging a player, in part, based on what someone else paid for him is ridiculous.

 

 

I totally get what you are saying but you are not understanding what everyone else is saying or you choose not too.  Overpaying consistently for people lands you in cap hell.  Yeah the Eagles were lucky to win that SB, but thats the exception rather than the norm.  When was the last time the cheatriots were in Cap Hell......how many shiny silver things do they have. 

 

Bottom line, yeah individually it really doesn't make a difference but a million here a million there and all of a sudden you have to start cutting good players and then the slide starts......

This is nothing more than a BU contract for a BU QB. 

 

Perfect signing. 

 

Not like like regime giving a 90M LTD to a BU QB when he still had a Cheap BU QB year left on contract

Well designed and executed offense can defeat the best defenses even if they only run a handful of plays from multiple formations.  Nothing new about that.  I'm done talking about Foles. 

 

Hey, they might not even need Wentz.  They should just play Sudfeld.

I was going off the "$6.5M in playing time incentives."  If it had said "playing time and performance incentives" that would be different.  But no biggee either way.

McCarron may not even beat out Peterman, let alone a #2 or #3 overall selected QB (assum8ng the Bills get one). This acquisition accomplishes  very little, IMO.

 

Or, he may throw 30 TD’s and for 4 grand in yards.

 

See how that works?

$16.5 over 2 years (including incentives) — Beane is the man! This is a steal.

 

I have to laugh. The guy has barely played, spent 4 seasons holding a chip board and he gonna make $10 million! What a great freakin job being an NFL backup! 

 

The guy is gonna make more than Shady and he’s been the entire offense for several years! McCoy should demand a raise.

I'm not super high on AJ (think he's just been on loaded teams), at worst, we have a vet backup qb who can be a mentor. At best, maybe he is a hidden gem. Much more upside than TJ Yates or Matt Cassel. Even if he doesn't start, I think it's good signing.

You making up impossible stuff and claiming that it’s just as probable as realistic options? Yeah, actually I see that everyday in the alternative news media so I’m very familiar with it.

Only will make 10M if on the roster for 2 years

Very few things are better than being a backup qb.  And rbs are treated like old pornstars.

Who cares.     We won 9 games with crap qb play last year.  

 

Mccarron is 2-1 with 6 tds and 2 ints.
