Shaw66 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 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. 2 1
AllenWillBust Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 I'm glad they didn't give up their draft future for Mack, even though he's a great player. The Bills just might have the first overall pick next season, hopefully they can get their franchise QB.

The cap hell we were in is gone next year. We got another player (5th rounder) who can contribute at least on special teams and a reserve role for a QB that was about to be (most likely) cut. Is there any positive post in your history about the team or direction?

If you think about it, it's pretty funny. 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.
Shaw66 Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 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.
HappyDays Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 50 minutes ago, Ittakestime said: More dead money and now Beane is adding dead money to next year. Does this guy know what he is doing? And again, we save money by trading him. If we keep him next year it costs $7 million. The dead cap is only $2 million. 1
PBLESS Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 1 hour ago, Peter said: Given our offensive line, we need as many QBs as we can get our hands on. I hope we got something worth while because trading AJ is a big risk. I have very little confidence in either of QBs being able to survive the season without getting some kind of injury. Yeah, I agree. From what I've heard we got a 2019 5th rounder which gives us 10 picks next year. I also heard that AJ represents 3Mill in dead cap this year. If we end up ,[and we probably will] needing a 3rd qb for the reasons you stated, we'll have to shell out more dough. I would have rather kept AJ as a backup, and see if some teams got needy in the middle of the season due to injury to their QB. By that time maybe the o-line will have jelled a bit and we could afford to risk having only 2 qbs plus at that stage of the game we could probably do better than a 5th rd pick. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin. 1

Do you by any chance host a drive Time sports radio show in the Buffalo area?
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 Fifth-year QB AJ McCarron, who played the entire preseason finale for the Bills, has been traded to the Raiders for a fifth-round draft pick, a source told ESPN.

Bobby Hooks Posted September 1, 2018 Posted September 1, 2018 47 minutes ago, Chandler#81 said: I think this locks Allen in as Day 1 starter. Pickpeterman showed enough to stick around for another year, but not start ahead of the 7th overall Pick at extraordinary cost I don’t see how this trade means that at all. Also, calling 20 something year old kids on the team you supposedly cheer for because you like another qb more is a bit childish, no?
