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.   

 

That...and no line, and no WRs, and no TEs.

 

My God, this team is going to !@#$ing suck this year.  :lol:

Your 'tude, and you're following me.  But if that's just how you roll, so be it.

 

I'm responding to your replies, much as you are to mine.  We're in this dance together and you amused me the whole drive to the Drive-In, so thank you for that!  But, since we just pulled in, your services are no longer required.  Ta ta for now!

Nice, it was starting to feel weird. Have fun this season.

The Bills selected the QB least likely to succeed IMO, and in most ppl's opinion.  Can they get lucky?  Sure?  Will they?  Highly unlikely.  Beane simply whiffed.  Sure, ending the 17 year playoff drought was fun and all, but it came at a cost, too high a cost MO.

 

Are you one of those broken Tyrod stans from the Bills Mafia Page ?

Jon Gruden wanted McCarron badly. Some sort of weird fantasy lol.

He's not the only coach that wanted him badly.  Browns nearly made fools of themselves.

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.

Gruden is legitimately crazy. Feel bad for Raiders fans when they looked on the rise and are doing the dumbest things now that Gruden has a 10 year all control coach gm contract.

 

He coached 2 loaded teams well with talent actual GMs provided him

Except that ESPN has no credibility, kind of like you.

I have a lot of confidence in McDermott.   I think he knows what he's doing.  

 

I think the Bills will surprise their critics.  

 

Put another way - this teams short-term future did not depend on having McCarron, and the short-term future hasn't changed now that he's gone.
