BuffaloHokie13 Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Nope. I'm fairly hopeful that he'll be alright (read somewhere between the 16th & 24th best QB in the league per my metric), but I'm not hopeful at all that he's any sort of long term answer.
PromoTheRobot Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 The guy won two national championships so he can't be a total bum. But who knows? 1
Mr. ChumChums Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 AJ McCarron will be fine. Not great, but fine. That's what I expect from him. He's meant to keep us competitive while we wait for Allen to develop. 1
rodneykm Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 I honestly think he can be mid tier in the league ( say top 15 or so ). If he is and we can turn him over for a draft pick next year I'd say that'd we did alright with the signing.

I think the racist thing is over the top myself, but I laugh at anyone who thinks they are insulting someone because of the term snowflake. I embrace it with great prode

How'd all these sonowflakes end up on this board ? It’s time to look in the mirror bud. In the early 1860s, a "Snowflake" was a person who was opposed to the abolition of slavery—the implication of the name being that such people valued white people over black people. The Snowflakes hoped slavery would survive the country's civil war, and were contrasted with two other groups. The Claybanks (whose name came from the colorless color of the local terrestrial clay) wanted a gradual transition out of slavery for slaves, with eventual freedom accompanied by compensation to slave owners; the Charcoals—who were also called Brown Radicals—wanted immediate emancipation and for black people to be able to enlist in the armed forces. You need to settle your hate. We do not agree with it and will not put up with it.

KollegeStudnet Posted May 1, 2018 Posted May 1, 2018 Me. I think Allen sits the whole season and AJ leads this team to 10-6. Not trying to be a homer, but the Bills are underrated again and could see this team battle for the AFC East.

Save it for the truly hateful, not some kid who made some inane tweets in high school. You really believe that's who he is after having grown up?

He has won titles at every level of football when he was given a chance....and i know a lot of people are hung up on arm strength which is Mccarrons biggest weakness but i would rather have an accurate, field reading, rhythmic, insync, and good decision making qb over one that can just throw the ball far and run faster then most. I think he paid his dues and learned the flow of an NFL offense. I believe he has learned how and what it takes to win games at the next level. He was a decent prospect coming out of college and I think he has done everything you want from a prospect to do sitting on the bench for multiple years and used his time wisely. So with his dues paid, hard work, and his acquired knowledge paired with his competitiveness he will balance out a savage defense and win us football games. Anyone else agree? Yes. Yes I do.

His parents obviously failed to teach their child morals and values, or it wouldn’t of even been a thought to him. His reputation is shot, he is labeled... There is no arguing this fact.

The Frankish Reich Posted May 2, 2018 Posted May 2, 2018 I have faith in McCarron being decent. Not embarrassing/Peterman bad. Not even "how the heck does this guy keep getting contracts" like Matt Cassel bad. Not even "this guy must be the luckiest guy in the world to have a career 11-6 record as a starter" Drew Stanton bad. More like Josh McCown decent - a guy who doesn't make horrible mistakes, who occasionally comes up big and even wins you a game, a guy who's generally competent but not quite good enough to be the QB that any team would hitch its wagon to. Maybe Tyrod Taylor-esque in a way; totally different skill sets, yet in the end just "competent" as in the 26th best QB in a league with 32 starters.
