At present Taylor has started 3 years in Buffalo and has ranked in the bottom 5 teams in passing yards for all 3 years. Their are a 100 other stats I could bring up but I will say his overall view as a QB is below average. AJM has always been behind Andy Dalton, he has played well when Dalton has been injured. My opinion of AJM is that he will be the best QB out of all the FA QB's. I think he will be a upgrade over Taylor and is the better QB. That is quite an endorsement for McCarron. I hope you are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is overblown that Tyrod is not able to throw the ball. I think the issue was 1) Tyrod seemed to hesitate more the past couple years. Was this all on him? Coaching? Lack of WR's and comfort with them? 2) Playcalling - way to predictable and conservative. 3) Weapons? No #1 WR and really not even legit #2, at least healthy ones. Go look at AJM tape. He is not he most accurate guy and does not have a ton of arm strength. I see a lot of N Peterman in him. Without some help from WR/TE's in CInci I think AJM would not even be talked about. We disagree. I never said TT couldn't throw the ball. I said he didn't throw the ball, and this is a necessary thing for QB's to succeed. He was way to hesitant and looked to be afraid to let it rip unless the Wr was wide open and even then he still didnt throw it enough. We will see what AJ brings to the table but we are paying him back up $ so i dont know why people are so butt hurt. We are drafting a QB to be the future in this draft. If McCarron is crap the rookie will play sooner. If he is good, even better! Also i am not ready to judge AJ yet as he has been a back up in the league to this point. Just like TT was when we brought him in for competition to be the starter 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This regime is over their head when the losses come in buckets because of our good ole boy drafting the pitch forks will come out. We need quality football players and to date we got older, lighter( in more ways than one) ,and talent drained in fact we went down in quality across the board based on every thing they touched so far.2-14 here we come Buffalo Browns Not a fan of the new regime? They are restructuring the entire team to fit their vision. Have some patience. It will take a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarron won more in college but probably wasn’t the better college player. McCarron won half of his starts in the NFL with a talented team. Tyrod Taylor is 23-20 with worse talent. McCarron has averaged 184 yards passing in his starts. Tyrod averaged 201 in Buffalo. The truth is important. McCarron has certainly played less but at the present time he is a worse player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Until we see more of McCarron do we really know? Tyrod is a great athlete but he isn’t a good QB. Poor sight, poor accuracy and poor decisions. Only thing he did good was run and not turnover the ball. But him playing safe way too much was the reason he never turned the ball over.
