The offer you are referencing was made by the 1-31 FO. What actually happened was decisions by the new FO. Except they didn't have that choice unless they have a crystal ball.

I don't see any reason not to be optimistic. McCarron was 2 - 1 with the Bengals, and should have been 3 - 0, except the Bengal imploded. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/bengals-have-playoff-meltdown-for-the-ages-vs-steelers-5-things-to-know/ They beat two 5-11 teams with much lower offensive production (184 passing yards/game) with AJM at the helm.

But hey if that makes me an attention seeking Poser then LOOK AT ME LOK AT ME LOOK AT ME. HERE I AM. LOOK AT ME!!!! I've heard/read people talking about McCaron getting the Bills a number one pick because teams will want to trade for him. because he is going to put up 4,000 yards. When he took over for Dalton the Bengals offense slowed to a crawl and McCaron despite his winning record was downright awful at times. McCarron is what he is, and that is a backup QB, who if he starts routinely your team is in trouble. So in your minds the Bills can do no wrong. Go it.? well ...he's gonna routinely start come sept. and i will expect to see nfl caliber qb'ing for the 1st time since orton...and that ain't asking for much. he's 10x better at qb than what we have had to put up with.

Yet we somehow got him for 1/3 the cap space and no draft picks given up. I guess there's a bunch of Bills fans that expect McCarron to give us better passing than we had the past 3 seasons. I would love for that to happen but I'm definitely not counting on it. If McCarron starts all year our offense will likely be one of the worst in the league across the board - and that's fine! I'd rather we deal with that for a season than ruin Allen's development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. My point is the Browns didn't want AJM and preferred to give up a 3rd round pick and pay Tyrod more money because he's a better option as a bridge and mentor for their new QB.

Your premise is that the Browns know what they are doing. Also. What happened last season when the trade didn’t go through in time as someone forgot to check the fax machine or email? https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/early-lead/wp/2017/10/31/browns-trade-for-aj-mccarron-reportedly-fails-because-team-too-busy-celebrating-it/ funny they wanted him at the end of 16.

Not sure why you are trying to deny the reality of them deciding it was better to trade for Taylor. You fail to answer questions. How many teams were still looking for a QB at that time? It is very likely that Cleveland took Taylor as a 1 year rental. Signing AJ last year could have given them a bumper before having to pay the 5th year option maybe?
