SouthNYfan Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 17 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: That's REALLY unfair. There's a very clear trajectory for guys like McCarron, the McCown trajectory. He's a good guy, hard working, he keeps learning. Because he's only marginal, he doesn't stick with teams. Teams have to perceive a need for a guy like this. The need grows as they get older, because they're important in the QB room. They become solid backups. But early in their careers, they move a lot, because they are only marginal - they are on the margins of being useful. Your backup QB is almost NEVER starter material. Good QBs don't stay on the bench long. But that doesn't mean he isn't or can't be a good backup. If he was the kind of backup teams love them why did we trade him?

eanyills Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hedging your bets that Peterman can hold down the reigns until Allen is ready is a risky bet. Historical odds are stacked against Peterman playing at any kind of consistent NFL level. And throwing Allen into an offense with problems all over the field worries me. I’d liked to have seen Allen stay on the bench until next year but I think he’s going to be seeing the field sooner than later in a season I’m not terribly optimistic about.

That means he's useful to some teams, not others. Bills believe either that the two they have are good enough to be starter and backup, or they believe they're just building for next season. In either scenario, AJ was expendable. Gruden has a different view of what he's doing and where his team is, and AJ offered him what he needed in a backup. 5 minutes ago, eanyills said: Hedging your bets that Peterman can hold down the reigns until Allen is ready is a risky bet.

Not much riskier than going with McCarron. Neither has much experience, and neither has produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Persoanlly, given the weakness at some other positions, I didn’t think we would keep 3 QBs given Allen has progressed well and doesn’t seem that far off from being capable of starting. But it also doesnt surprise me given none of the QBs are proven really in an actual NFL Game, all showed positives and negatives in camp and preseason, and our OL got 2 of them dinged up already this preseason. Do say everybody. I argued that he would unlikely be cut. He was going to be on the team or be traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's a UDFA who couldn't make an NFL roster, so he's certainly not going to come in and light the offense on fire, but he's spent an entire offseason with one of the best teams in the NFL, and they are good in part because of the way the emphasize a lot of the things Sean McDermott emphasizes: doing your job, attention to detail and personal discipline. Secondly, he has learned the terminology of the Erhard-Perkins offensive system. Given that Brian Daboll has spend a significant amount of time with New England under Josh McDaniel and runs the same system, there's going to be a much easier learning curve than if they pick up a castoff QB from a West Coast offense team. Moreover, if Leslie Frasier wants to, he can always pick Ettling's brain on what the evil genius and Josh McDaniel have been doing this summer.

Turk71 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 4.9 million and 2 years of 2 mil dead cap to a guy who never played a game.

BillsFan4 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) 2 hours ago, dave mcbride said: It’s not a myth, it’s a reasoned supposition. I firmly believe Darnold will be better than Allen (although I hope he isn’t), and at the time Beane said repeatedly he hadn’t done his due diligence and wasn’t willing to pull the trigger. The Jets were ready, and I don’t believe for a second that the Bills preferred Allen to Darnold. The Jets simply beat them to the punch, although the Jets had a lot to offer too. Yeah, he said that but it doesn’t mean trading to #3 was ever an option. Personally, I don’t think that was the reason. Indy said after the trade that they had other offers but they didn’t want to move down too far. Then on draft day, the Bills tried to trade from #12 to #6 and Indy once again refused. The Bills, obviously, landed at #7. I believe Indy was targeting the guy they drafted - Quenten Nelson, the only real stud OL in the draft, and knew he wouldn’t be there at #12. So, to get to #3 6 weeks before the draft, the Bills most likely would have had to go from #21to #12, then from #12 to #7, then #7 to #3. Has anything like that ever been done? I know for sure it has never been done 6 weeks before the draft. Then on top of all that, after giving up whatever it took to get to #3, they’d have to hope that the Giants didn’t sell the #2 pick, or the Browns didn’t take Darnold, which, at the time of the trade - 6 weeks before the draft, there was a lot of assumption that they would. IMO, the #3 pick was never a real option. Edited September 2, 2018 by BillsFan4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you're not on the team until you make it to that week 1 paycheck. And even then if teams can't find 53 they are comfortable with thru the opening weeks they will keep the cheapest non-guaranteed contract guys to fill out the last few spots on the roster. Vets contracts are guaranteed for 16 weeks if they are on the week one roster.......Foster's contract would not be and will run week to week. I like his wheels and they desperately need a deep threat but it's entirely possible that he gets cut this week or swapped out for a vet next week and goes to the PS. Seems like a PS lock now though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
