Peter King with Murph & Tasker Today: Bills' QB Situation is Lunacy


Fadingpain

Recommended Posts

"To trade your only slightly proven guy was a mistake and clearly if you look at this situation logically you would say that it's absolute lunacy that it's likely or even possible that in Week 7 of the NFL season, the starting QB for the rest of the season could be a guy they picked up off the street.  It's been a mismanaged position."

 

"This has turned into a disaster at the most important position in team sports."

 

From Hour 3 of One Bills Live today.


Starts 2 minutes into the hour.

Trading McCarron not a big deal to me.  I thought he'd be the guy but showed nothing in preseason.  But you can rightfully criticize for not getting the veteran backup in earlier.

 

Can also rightfully Criticize going McCarron in offseason to begin with knowing you are about to draft a rookie. So your idea before draft is to put 2 5th round picks with a total what 5 games experience combined

I can’t blame the FO for what has transpired. It was fairly clear in preseason that it Peterson won the job. And Allen was also playing very well for a rookie. McCarron was the worse QB on the roster. What the FO didn’t know, and what was their job to know, was that Peterman would completely destruct during the season. Allen is playing pretty much as expected. As for signing Anderson, looks like they had little other choice.

Any rational person would agree. Except they should have picked up Bridgewater or Derek Anderson in the offseason instead of McCarron.

Exactly, he could have tendered some kind of a deal for Bridgewater or just pick up Anderson Week 1. When it comes to the quarterback position Sean and Brandon are struggling on an epic level. We're starting to see Jauron comparisons everywhere. They may run a great defense but they have no clue how to run offense and hiring Daboll was probably a mistake. If McDuffus trots out Peterpan at Indy, I guarantee you he will lose this locker room.  And all the clapping in the world won't be able to save him.

Who would you have brought in?  Bradford?  Hah!  The FA available QBs were all about the same.  And knowing they were going to draft a young guy no way they were going to spend huge dollars on someone like a Keenum.

King’s absolutely right and our media should be pressing Beane and McDermott for more detailed answers. I am sick of hearing Sean say nothing but “I have to watch the tape.”

Sorry that’s bull. They weren’t all “about the same” unless you’re really stretching the meaning of “about.”

 

stop defending this.

Peterman had 2 very good preseasons. I can also hit a great bucket of balls, but once I get out on the course it gets ugly...its simple he doesn't have the arm strength to throw an NFL out. That alone should disqualify him from ever stepping on an NFL field.

Ok.  They weren't going to spend a fortune in a guy knowing they were drafting a guy.  So then you look at veterans like Anderson, McCarron, etc., etc.  and I'm not defending it; I said above they should have brought another vet in earlier when they traded McCarron.  

 

So  two questions for you:

 

1.  Who was the standout(s) making them not all the same?

 

2.  Have you learned to read?

Options were limited in a rebuild team.  McCarron just should never have been traded.  Everyone outside of buffalo already knew peterman was terrible.  Mcbeane and the homers are only ones to say this made any sense.  

 

Keep McCarron and trade peterman for a bag of balls and we are 3 and 3 right now.

With the total inexperience of Peterman and Allen, they should have carried three quarterbacks. If they truly wanted Allen to sit, they should have carried three quarterbacks.

But Peterman was clearly better than McCarron in preseason.  The mystery is why Peterman throws up on himself

I didn't want him on the team at all in 2018.

I wanted McCarron (I will admit) and a Bridgewater or any serviceable backup (Glennon etc).

 

I still don't want NP and would take Paxton Lynch or Landry Jones today, and I do mean today.

Because hes a 5th round pick that doesnt belong in the NFL and probably would of been cut already of he was on another team..

Yeah but he consistently did well in preseason and earned a spot.  Then he just does what he does in games.  Just a mystery to me.

It's not like they didn't have any film on him or anything.
