Rigotz Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 How are you guys feeling about the trade now? Seems like at the time, some of you were extremely angry about the trade. I recall seeing "fire Beane" all over the boards. Would you rather have the 5th round pick in this year's draft or AJ McCarron? (who did not re-sign with the team that traded for him)
BuffaloHokie13 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I'm pretty sure most of that anger was because Peterman remained on the roster. 20

JimKellyTryouts Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Signing him for only $5M compared to $15-20M for guys like Bradford or Glennon was a huge win, as was getting a 5th for a guy that seems to struggle with being a decent backup in this league. The concerns were justified, though. This coaching staff saw and practiced with Peterman all offseason to determine that he could start, and that only he and our rookie were enough to roster. Props to Beane for being honest and saying that this was a mistake and that a veteran like DA should have been added earlier (which was what most of us were saying). 3

This is revisionist history. Not what happened. The anger was because folks thought McCarron was a good starter and shouldn't be traded because Josh Allen wasn't ready to play and the O-Line wasn't performing well in pre-season and early season. 2
C.Biscuit97 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I always thought the Raiders were morons for giving up a 5th for AJ instead of just keeping EJ. But I remember watching the Ravens opener in Miami under a hurricane watch and just hating life. But the pick is ok now. 10 minutes ago, Rigotz said: This is revisionist history. Not what happened.

Only delusional fans thought AJ was a good starter. But most agreed that Allen shouldn’t start right away. To go with allen and Peterman as your only 2 QBs was embarrassing. 2

No. Many people thought that he was the only viable starting QB on the roster for week 1. viable =/= good by the way Edited April 22, 2019 by BuffaloHokie13

I can’t speak for everyone but for me it was 1,000% about Peterman. They believed he was an option. MANY people here didn’t and didn’t think Allen was ready. They were right about that. The Bills did well to get a 5th for McCarron. The Bills screwed up by allowing Peterman to start the 1st game. Both of those things are true now and were true at that point.

Anything done by the Bills brass in reference to the QB situation last season (after drafting Allen) was pretty much a disaster. Even with a 2019 5th rounder to show for it ?
Saxum Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 That P5t5rman looked acceptable as potential starter is due to NFLPA rules regarding contact - when contact is limited as much as it is it can be hard to tell how a player will react with real bullets flying. Unfortunately vanilla defenses in preseason do not help with this evaluation. He worked hard, studied hard and looked better than McCarron in camp (McCarron had been injured in Browns game further limiting his ability to show what he could do). Bills should have been able to find SOMEONE better however in preseason - the offense is not so complicated.

Was a “good starter”? Lol. I don’t recall that. Couldn’t have been too many people saying it, if any

Both of those things are true now and were true at that point. It all goes to show how misleading preseason can be. Getting a draft pick for AJ looks like a magic trick now. But you were firm from the beginning on Mr Peterman.

Some people will say “that’s harsh” or “not true” but he is statistically the worst player to ever play the most important position in the game. He’s the worst, 2nd worst is up for debate... 1 1

Like you I thought he was a bad pick from beginning and even worse decision when made starter (at the minimum the Bills should not have not announced QB change) but I do not hate the player just the decision to play him. 1
