26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Following the Buffalo Bills' third preseason game, Joe Buscaglia and Matthew Fairburn got together to discuss Josh Allen's first start, Nathan Peterman and if he's getting close to winning the job, and what to do with AJ McCarron who seems to be lagging behind. Plus, some offensive line and cornerback chatter, and the introduction of the first ever Dri Archer Award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRush Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Another great Bills Beat post-game podcast by Joe B and Matt Fairburn (See link in tweet below) Basically they said Allen showed he wasn’t ready. The OL sucked but Allen could have gotten the ball out faster and been more decisive on a few throws. Cincinatti’s defenders commented that he didn’t seem ready. The most interesting discussion was on what to do at QB. If Peterman is your starter, do you still need AJ McCarron? Also if McCarron was ready to play if necessary, why didn’t he get any reps Sunday night? This led Joe B to suggest the idea that the Bills start AJ in Game 4 as a way to showcase his ability to other teams. He’ll likely have good success running against backups in the final week of the preseason. Then after Game 4, they should trade him for anywhere between a 4th or 6th round pick. He believe that McCarron has value to other teams given his experience and reasonable contract as a solid backup Interestingly, they commented that AJ was standing by himself throughout the entire game. It made it sound like they were suggesting he was frustrated/disinchanted with his situation. What do do you think? Good idea?

dave mcbride Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hmm ... Gruden is not happy with his backup qbs. Check it out: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000950939/article/jon-gruden-unsure-if-raiders-have-backup-qb-on-roster. He also sees McCarron as a Brad Johnson type (that's a compliment coming from him): http://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2014/insider/story/_/id/10839518/2014-nfl-draft-jon-gruden-shares-observations-aj-mccarron.

Well, obviously, the Bills would have to give up a high draft pick and possibly more. But it is the case that McCarron is his kind of backup and he doesn't like EJ and Cook.

BuffaloRebound Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 McCarron has a 2 years and 6m left on his contract with basically no remaining guaranteed money. Very trade-able contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Feeling the same way on McCarron. He isn't going to be the starter and its senseless to have your top ten rookie be QB#3. Not a lot of sense keeping a guy you need to pay 10 million dollars over two years as your #3. Is there a market? That I am not sure of given the lack of interest during free agency. However, the backup situation across the NFL isnt great. Jacksonville, Denver, San Diego, Oakland, Detroit and Seattle could all use help there.

Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I will throw one out there. McCarron and a late round pick to the Raiders for Brandon Parker. The Raiders get their number 2 QB and the Bills get a talented, young, small school OT. He can play RT, kick Mills inside to RG and start Teller at LG. You will still have some lumps but it is a good start to remaking your OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'd prefer it if we have McCarron backup Peterman. In an ideal world we coddle and protect Allen, keep 3 QBs for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterman is NOT the most athletic QB on the team. However, Peterman got in and out of the huddle quicker which in turn gave him more time to read the defense and make adjustments prior to the snap PLUS got the ball out of his hands much quicker than Josh Allen yesterday. When you have an O Line that is a sieve, you NEED to get rid of the ball ASAP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he was an amazing scrambling QB but because he got rid of the ball before needing to scramble. To be fair, he also scrambled decently as well a few times.

Jerome007 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I get you don't pay a #3 guy 10 millions. And if a trade offer is good, take it. But you'd go with only 2 QBs with an OL that enhances the chance of them getting hurt? You need a 3rd QB for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
