I'll be rooting for him to maximize his potential such that we don't have to worry about QB for another 15 years. I see a lot of Big Ben in his game. Hoping for the best. Big Ben (with the off field stuff) is my hope as well Ben was put into a position to succeed and not asked to do to much in his first year...A good running game and a stifling D backed him up....hoping for the same.

I think that will be a challenge with the lack of talent at OL and WR. The D has a chance to be good with the assembled talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I haven't seen much AJ McCarron either in the pros or in college but the bits I have seen my expectations for him as the Bills' starter are low. I thought he played a reasonable game in that playoff loss to Pittsburgh but other than that the bits of his NFL tape I have seen are not impressive. I'd be shocked if he starts more than 4 games at this stage and I think there is a 50/50 chance Allen beats him out in pre-season and starts week 1. I was no Tyrod fanboy.... but to the people saying "McCarron should be able to do at least as well as Tyrod"..... my question is "why should he?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What team have you been watching?? That nate hackkett marrone offense was bore city. The bills offense was entertaining in 2015 and 2016. Before then it was a bore. Then in 2017 They nuetered the concepts and cut the players that helped tyrod put up points despite his shortcomings as a passer. Tyrods gone. Get over it. And on paper. Ill say it right now the browns offense is better than hours. Compare rosters. The coaching and how well the players adapt to the schemes Haley and Daboll come up with will decide who puts up more ppg. The only thing holding the Bengals to 5 wins max is Tyrod plays against the teams that have him owned twice in a season with some better talent around him.

I feel totally insecure with all 3 and if I feel like that still come September I hope they start the rook.... because even though I am doubtful about him reaching it - Josh Allen's potential is great. I honestly think AJ probably is who he is... and that likely isn't good enough. Oh and Peterman still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To call it a "highlight" clip is lazy and passive aggressive. And yes my point in a previous point was to pick from some of the best QBs and say I can find faults (I can) and be a douche and call it a "highlight" clip. Let me separate my point from other verbage.... Do YOU agree the title should have been called something other the "highlights"? If yes, we are on the same page regardless of how it is stated (or regurgitated). If not, I guess there is no hope of being sensible. PS AJ is NO WHERE the same tier as Brees, Brady, and Rogers. No it shouldn't be called a highlight clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how to make videos and upload them to Youtube...but do you really dispute the notion that a person could pick out 10 bad plays from literally any QB that's ever played and make a similar video? Unless you dispute the notion that, say, Tom Brady has ever HAD 10 bad plays, then I don't see why you'd find it so hard to believe that such a video could be made.

No, it's not "well established". No trades can be registered with the league office before 14 March 4 pm, the start of the new league year. But, teams can agree to terms of a trade before then.

IMO I think it never hurts to have 3 QB’s. Some view it as a waste of roster spot Quibbling over roster spots is stupid. We have plenty of roster spots.

Whenever it was announced, the trade was still not official until March 14th at 4 pm. Second time this official NFL date source has been linked for you in this thread, but this time I'll cut-n-paste the relevant part: March 14 Trading period for 2018 begins at 4:00 p.m., New York time, after expiration of all 2017 contracts.
