Logic Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 One way or the other, I expect the Bills to draft a rookie QB in the draft next month. Furthermore, it's pretty clear that there will be an open QB competition in training camp to decide who starts. It's easy to just say "I want whoever wins the competition to be the starter!". Well...duh! I also realize that not knowing who the rookie QB will be will perhaps impact the answers to this. Maybe it won't. What I'm asking is who would YOU PERSONALLY like to see as the starter at QB for the Bills on opening day? Do you want to see McCarron get his shot? Maybe you think Peterman got a bad rap last year and deserves another go of it in a new offense? Perhaps you think rookie QBs should start from day one and take their lumps? Perhaps you're dead set on a rookie sitting on the bench in year one? So the question is... Who would you like to see under center on opening day in 2018 and why?
JackKemp Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) I am hoping for best case scenario. McCarron shows enough during OTAs, training camp and pre-season to win the job. The rookie sits behind him learning for one to two years. Then we trade McCarron to a QB hungry team for new assests and our franchise QB takes over. Edited March 26, 2018 by JackKemp
VirginiaMike Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I'd be surprised, but not sad if Peterman was able to beat out McCarron and start, but I can't picture it happening. 1
oldmanfan Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 McCarron. Been around longer, comes from a winning college program, and has something to prove 1

I voted McCarron, although if the question was geared around starting in week 10 rather than week 1, I'd have voted for rookie QB. I kind of want to see McCarron get his shot, partially because I don't think he's very good (fine with him as a backup though!) and maybe I'm wrong. Plus, as a fan, if your starter isn't playing well and there's a 1st-round rookie behind him, that's not so bad. But if the starter isn't playing well and there's a journeyman backup behind him, that's much less sunny.

LedyardCTbillsfan Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Whoever earns the job unless it is a for sure project like Rudolph or Allen
Dr. Who Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Rosen and Mayfield are the only fellas capable of starting day 1, imo. I would take either, but I really like Mayfield. Otherwise, McCarron starts.

I want to see McCarron crushing it so by week 10 and beyond we are on a playoff run. I would love to see McCarron be a top 5 QB in the NFL. Will that happen? Most likely not but lets see what he has. 2
frostbitmic Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 John O'Korn ... He's the most ready QB in this draft. 1 3
John from Riverside Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Ideally you want a veteran guy on a team that just made the playoffs to play well enough to get wins...... I still feel that the best case scenario (if we have to give up a mint in picks) is to select Lamar Jackson at 12..... He needs a year holding the clip board....but his upside is incredible. And would allow us to feel holes at LB, WR, and OL in this draft. We could even get a RB of the future out of this deep class. 1
Steptide Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I want whoever gives us the best chance to win. Theirs a small part of me that hopes Peterman is the starter and he ends up being a franchise qb. I always have a place in my heart for the underdog

ddaryl Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 a rookie QB because it means we drafted well and got a QB 1
Logic Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 34 responses so far, and not a single Peterman vote. Did this guy poop on a box of Flutie Flakes or what?! I guess a 5 interception debut will do that to ya...
Kirby Jackson Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Definitely hoping it’s Peterman. What better way to follow up a playoff season than to start the season with one of the worst QBs in history? 1

26CornerBlitz Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Logic would dictate that we know who the rookie QB is before answering.
