The Bills just might have the first overall pick next season, hopefully they can get their franchise QB. Screw you. nice 2nd post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Just now, The Red King said: Technically, Peterman played part of the Indy game and mop up in the Saints debacle. Back on track, i'm alright with the trade. You know Beenie's gonna use it to trade up another one of our picks. Yeah, I knew he had a few extra minutes here and there, but it's a better story if we focus just on his record-setting performance. I'm okay with the trade, too. McCarron wasn't going to win games for the Bills, so I'm just as glad to have him gone and let the young guys see what they can do. For people who are distressed because the Bills are leaving themselves in the hands of a virtual rookie, one way or the other, stop and think how Eagles felt when they traded a better vet (Bradford), leaving the job to a rookie. That didn't work out too badly. It's a different league, and season after season we surprises because we weren't focused on the right things. In that regard, I think the 4th quarter comeback could have been an important sign. Last season the Bills were really good in the second half of games, and they did it again Thursday. That's a sign that McDermott is doing things right. When the coach is doing the right things, the quality of the team often improves quickly. Weird as all this is, I'm still not convinced the Bills are worse than 7-9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 It seems like AJ would have been #3 on the depth chart if he hadn’t been traded. His salary was wasted regardless- unless this OL gets both Peterman and Allen injured. It’s one of those things where it was a good idea at the time to sign AJ. But now I’m glad we got what we did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuncha Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 They must have their eye on a QB - going into the season with a rookie and 1 year vet at QB behind this O-line?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figster Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 7 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: So I was explaining to my wife, who is not NEARLY as into the Bills as I am, that the Bills traded AJ. Although I've explained to her before who the three QBs were, she's always half paid attention then forgotten about it altogether. So I'm telling her about the trade, and for her to understand the significance, I had to retell the story of who the three QBs are. The story came out, honest to God, something like this: They traded AJ McCarron, so now the Bills have only two QBs. I chuckled. So the EXPERIENCED QB is this guy - and I began to laugh. My wife looked at me. The EXPERIENCED QB has played exactly one half of one game in the NFL, and in that - now I'm really laughing a lot - and in that one half in the NFL he threw FIVE interceptions. Now my wife is laughing, too. Their INEXPERIENCED QB is a rookie who played in the college minor leagues for a few years, the real minors, so he hasn't experienced anything even like big-time college football. If you think about it, it's pretty funny. I needed a good laugh, Trade stings a little being a bama/ McCarron fan for me Shaw. On the other hand Josh Allen is the future of the franchise. The move puts Allen that much closer to the playing field IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could actually be more than one franchise qb in the draft. Perhaps I should go register on a Jets' message board as DarnoldWillBust and then go antagonize the fan base. OTOH, I'm not twelve years old, petty, or gratuitously nasty, so I guess not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Fan in LA Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 6 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: Gene Hackman comes to mind in Enemy of the State, when he says to WIll Smith (just imagine he's saying it to McBeane): Either you're really smart or you're really stupid. Going naked with two really young QBs is the best evidence that (1) McBeane know something we don't know, (2) McBeane don't know what they're doing or (3) despite what they say, it's all about 2019. Okay, I guess I've got use my "used car" analogy again to explain this. _________________________ Last year Beane went shopping for a good used QB. He found AJ, and was told he was in really good condition, hardly ever used, and had a great motor. Beane checked his CarFax, looked under the hood, and negotiated a fair deal, sort of, if the QB was as advertised. 2 weeks ago ,when Beane was driving the car (AJ) around, he ran over something in the road, and there was a loud clunk under the hood. Beane got bad news from the first mechanic he took the car (AJ) to. A broken suspension. Beane is no dumby, so he took the car (AJ) to another mechanic who said maybe the damage was fixable. Beane is the type of guy who always likes insurance, and he didn't have any with a used QB. So he talked it over with his wife (McD) and they decided to sell the car (AJ) and start fresh. Why risk finding out the first mechanic was right, and not being able to get anything for this lemon of a car (AJ) And hey, there's lots of great used QB's still out there! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked rooting for McCarron, but the NFL has seen a lot like him - great college players, dedicated to the game but simply not good enough. I wish him well, although not with Gruden. Bills will be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
