Thrse aren’t mutually exclusive ideas. I don’t really care how good the Bills are this year. I care about Josh Allen’s development and where he’s at, developmentally, this December. If the Bills suck, and AJ flops, the clamor to start Allen will be tremendous. If you want it to be a structured easing into the NFL for Allen, the Bills have got to be at least decent.

Niagara Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Alabama's Greatest QB of All Time, AJ McCarron. AJ is the All Time Leader in Passing Yards, Completions, Completion Percentage, Passing Touchdowns and Passer Rating I fail to see how these highlights are not equal to highlights of the top four or six in this year's draft.

Highlight packages are put together to accentuate positive plays. Entire games tell a much more accurate picture of what a prospect is capable of. AJM would have been the same low round prospect he was in 2014 vs. the 2018 QB class. BTW, Joe Namath, Ken Stabler, and Richard Todd all say "Hello".

Was he the key player on teams loaded with NFL talent? Nope. ALA just won a title with Jalen Hurts playing QB for almost the entirety of the season. Save the national titles argument that means nothing with regard to NFL potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reply 26. Give a guy a chance to prove himself. Curious why you don’t give everyone the same opportunity - judge him fairly in an NFL settings and not just a few games.

gonzo1105 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I think McCarron looked good in his limited action. With that said who knows how he’ll do if Coordinators get a lot of tape on him and plan for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBorBust2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Not in this offense. Still have the worst Wideouts in the league with an unproven offensive line. I’m worried In foresight, I see a top 10 defense, I also see a bottom 5 offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regard to "worst Wideouts in the league with an unproven offensive line", part of that lies at the feet of T Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be equal. The problem is they're highlights, the question for the NFL talent evaluators is always the complete picture. For example, I could give you a Fitzpatrick highlight tape that would practically make Fitz look like Tom Brady, but he isn't. That said, I went looking for old McCarron scouting videos that might be out there the other day and I found this, which is HYSTERICALLY funny. If you like McCarron, Enjoy! Give especial attention to the disconnect between what McShay is saying, and what McCarron is on the field, doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is going to have to make some leaps and bounds to be better than AJ. But I think any time you draft a qb first round the management is under extreme pressure to prove that the pick was a correct one and play that qb asap. Even if its a detriment to the team. I think McBeane is more willing to risk upsetting the fan base and keep Allen on the sidelines because they have the solid backing of the owners, who they ultimately answer to. Cases in point, the moves with Dareus, Darby, and Watkins. All moves that were met with more than a little WTF? by the fans but that McBeane thought was in the long term interest of the Bills. I suspect that McBeane believes letting Allen develop a little while behind McCarron is also in the long term interest of the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
