longtimebillsfan Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Now that we have our "Bridge "QB, I got to thinking, did we trade Tyrod too soon? I , for one, am glad that we signed AJ McCarron. I am not a Tyrod hatter, but I can understand that McBeane wanted to move on from the Wrex experiment. But given the limited experience of McCarron and the fact that Tyrod did enough (with some luck) to get the bills to the playoffs, should we have kept TT as our Bridge?

Kirby Jackson Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I believe that Tyrod is a better player but McCarron, pick 65 and $6M (or whatever it is) in cap space is a superior situation. Once they trade up I think that they will be in much better shape at the position. Beane has really set this team up nicely. They don’t have a ton of talent today but they have a lot of resources to add that talent. They have been responsible patient. It is an exciting time IMO. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Difference between the two is Taylors ceiling in the passing game has been established, McCarron on the other hand has not. Both good game managers that protect the football IMO. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 No one knows. Mccarron is an unknown, that always excites people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I loved Tyrod, but I'll take the draft pick and cap savings over the guy who blew the playoff game for us overthrowing open receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think McBeane did Tyrod right by trading him. I think Cleveland intends on not playing their rookie QB this year and wants Tyrod to instill a winning culture on the field. I think Bills will be playing their rookie QB sooner.

I was a Tyrod fan. He is an exciting player. It did drive me crazy to see so many open receivers that he never saw or was unwilling to throw to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would add that AJM has an unknown ceiling, whereas with Tyrod I think his ceiling is pretty evident. I'll take the unknown guy, a pick and cap space as my bridge QB. And who knows, maybe AJM becomes a good player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the playoff game against the Jags he kept hugely overthrowing open receivers he DID see and WAS throwing to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarron will be the opening day starter. Whoever they draft will have some time to develop and learn how to be a QB in the NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
