26CornerBlitz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) 3-21: AJ McCarron on WGR (12:34) @WGR550 McCarron - It was really just a sit and wait game for free agency. It's just another crazy process I went through, but felt the #Bills was the best opportunity for me to start and compete. McCarron - I've always been taught to compete against myself day-in and day-out. If you view yourself as the best out there, there's no reason to compete against the next guy. #Bills McCarron - I know Kelvin Benjamin because we have the same agent, so I've been talking to him about Buffalo, and getting a feel for each other. It will be an awesome process of getting together and getting to know each other better. #Bills McCarron - Brian Daboll is a great offensive mind, does a great job of fitting his offensive scheme to his players. Can't wait to get to work with him. #Bills McCarron - it really feels like a University of Alabama atmosphere here in Buffalo. It's something special, awesome to be a part of. It gets you excited for football. #Bills McCarron - I can't wait to get here and prove to the city and organization how hard I work and that I won't let them down. #Bills 3-21: Newest Bills quarterback AJ McCarron on the John Murphy Show (13:25) Edited March 21, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Diver Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 He played for the best college team in the country and the greatest college coach of all time. Under his leadership Alabama won two national championships. I am expecting great things. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His thing is that teammates do not compete against each other; they compete against themselves to find out what their goals are, how good they can be and how much they can help the team. The best thing about McDermott imo is how he channels Coach Saban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billspro Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I am definitely not ruling this kid out. He seems ready for his shot, a rookie QB may not be able to get him off the field this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurate passer, intelligent, potential, and knows how to win football games. Garrap has a cannon, which he displayed rarely in his dunk and dunk offense. He was TRULY developed by the Pats. When a guy causes an internal rift between a head coach and owner, Over whether he should be starting over Tom Brady, you know you have something special. The league has seen just a small sample of what Jimmy can do. Draft him in fantasy. He is about to explode! McCarron... the jury is still out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garoppolo is much more talented than McCarron and he actually lifts the game of teammates as he showed with the 49ers last season. Jimmy G's delivery is lightning quick and very much technically sound. He makes it happen within the rhythm of an offense and also makes things happen when plays break down. McCarron is not even close to the same caliber of QB. Edited March 21, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but I think thats easy to say bc Garoppolo has a larger and more dated sample size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more than any QB in 2018 draft for college play. And more than any 2018 draftee in NFL regular season play. Considering all draftees have ZERO NFL exp. More than any draftee in NFL playoff play. He has the arm talent and ball speed of a 1st round pick. has a INT % that would make Tyrod Taylor smile. has TD to INT ratio that would make Tyrod happy and J Grapps smile.

Just Joshin' Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The best case scenario: 1. Bills draft a QB who has the potential to be the franchise QB. 2. He sits out 2018 and develops 3. AJ plays and plays lights out. 4. Bills trade AJ for high draft pick to QB needy team in 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
