In his limited opportunities in the NFL he has played well. My expectations are high. I don’t see why he can’t be successful if he has some talent around him. Again. We've already seen that and he played just okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 I dont think he is that good. If im Buffalo im leaving the draft with a Qb. Im taking 1 in the first. I have the picks to pay premium price. Where are the qbs likley drafted? 1,3,and 5 i would assume are Qbs. Who is my top qb. If he does not go 1 I can move to 2. Probably 12,22, 56, 65 and 2019 1st. Is 4 available? What is that price? Would you risk your #1 going in division? Who is my second Qb. How much less in the evaluation process is he from 1? Where does he go? 1,3,5 qbs. Is my number 2 making it through? Possible? Likley? Ok the third guy how big of a gap from him to 1? Whats the odds my 3 top qbs go 1,3,5? This year is unique. There are 5 guys not rated as first round talents. All very different in styles. I could see stark contrasts to different evaluators rankings in the league. The cost of moving up significantly goes down after denver. I think Buffalo can move up and retain 22. Two qbs will be there? It will take brass cajones to make that call but the cost will be much less. Is it darnold rosen mayfield? Allen and Jackon are still avaible. You see where im going. A number of combinations can play out. I think Buffalo plays it like FA. Dont pay an arm and a leg. Moves up gets the 3rd or 4th qb off the board and only gives up 56 and next year 3rd to do it.

When teams have a starting QB in place they are happy with the guy behind really doesn’t get many opportunities does he? 4 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Again.

If McCarron was a better QB he would have mounted a significant challenge with a chance to supplant Dalton who has been very much up and down in hi Bengals' career. 3 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: So I guess you have made up your mind that he will be a flop.

The contract he signed says what they think of him after no other team wanted him as starter. You're not exactly unbiased given your Tide rooting interest.

The HC is happy with his play. 5 playoff appearances in his 7 years in the league. Lewis isn’t gonna just have an open competition at QB when he has a guy he trusts. It’s !@#$ing stupid to even think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman1876 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Maybe we will strike gold, I hope we do maybe he will spend the next 15 years making pro bowls and winning rings. But odds are he’s another Firz or Tyrod or any number of backups who got a chance in free agency and were just ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fell in love with Mahommes and the writing was on the wall for Smith the minute he was drafted. The Bengals on the other hand had their guy in place and drafted AJ in the 5th round.

Where a player is drafted doesn't matter. If AJ developed into a better QB, then he would have supplanted Dalton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 If you break down the cost as positional rather than the player, we can do both. Trading up and grabbing a guy for our firsts and some other picks, and McCarron working out to be a stud is just fine with me. At the end of the day it’s the cost of our starting QB, no matter who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, Lewis is happy with Dalton and AJs limited reps weren’t gonna change that. We’re about to see more of AJ, so we’ll know soon how good he really is. I’m not writing him off because he couldn’t outseat another teams franchise QB Edited March 19, 2018 by BananaB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
