We did upgrade the DL. On the other hand, I do trust the process and would not be shocked if they do improve in year 2. I guess the other wildcard is the change at OC.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 AJ also takes care of the football from what I read. 4 games. 6 TDs 2 INTs iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly unlikely in my opinion that the Bills are a playoff team. Even if Mccaron is equal to tyrod, the chances of the Bills forcing those types of turnovers and getting those fortunate bounces just to sneak in the playoffs again are very slim. The Bills overachieved last year. I see them around 7 to 8 wins next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I thought about this one for quite a while before saying anything. AJ is a winner and a fiery competitor. I have no doubt that he will push whomever we draft for the starting position. If we roll with him as the starter then I say we are on the fringe. AJ is fairly accurate and seems to make good decisions. The question is the arm strength. The further he throws the ball down the field the stranger it looks. It's like he has to put everything he's got into getting the ball 50 yards down field. Even then his passes have a strange trajectory. I think we can win, and I think he may be an upgrade over Tyrod in different ways, but I don't think he makes our team as a whole better than we were per say.

He continued to play safe. In all 3 of his seasons here he just couldn’t get the job done. There was also plenty of times late in first half where we had the ball, some points can have big impact on the game in this situation. Tyrod goes 3 and out, the other team gets the ball and they put points on the board. All can help offense improve, and the play late in games can have a major impact on our final record Edited March 31, 2018 by BananaB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s really shown nothing to support anyone’s assertion he’s gonna get wr’s more involved or improve the passing game at all. He very well might be able to. And I really hope he does but he’s not done much to prove he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure, fans who don't like the backup. I don't follow college, so what do I know. I have read people on here bragging on players that have won the National Championship etc. Time will tell. I watch college and the Bills and I hate Bama players but I think a change from Tyrod ball will be a breath of fresh air. he isn't going to be the franchise but hopefully we see some semblance of a pass game. I really hope that we see an emergence of a young qb soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he’s gonna do all this, i’m just saying there is a lot that can be improved upon to help improve this offense and that it’s possible AJ can. We don’t know where AJ is in his development, if he has improved since his last time seeing significant action. It’s not like we need HOF QB play to improve on what we watched these past few years.

They still need an LB or 2, but it will come down to the OP’s question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
