Looks like AJ will be a career backup. They won't start him over Carr.... he's back in the same situation as he was with Dalton now.

Their OL wasn't great in 2017 and was helped by a very WCO style quick releaese pass game in 2016.

Good chance AJ gets a shot to start some games

I also read that Bo Scarborough was cut from the Dallas Cowboys today. I hope AJ finds a place to stay for more than a few years and can start. Hope Bo can find another team.

Career backups have a much lower rate of CTE than career starters.

Carr has been injury prone so he might get some PT.

That's pretty much it for AJ, Too bad, but he's a millionaire with a soon to be sweet pension, a beautiful wife and son, not to shabby for a young man in his 20's.
Well he does have the only "legendary" preseason performance in NFL history. So I guess that is something you could add. :rolleyes:

I think AJ is in the same situation he was in at Cincy with 3 exceptions: 1) Better organization 2) Better coach and 3) with a more injury prone starter. He may get some starts or PT, but there is no way he beats out Carr outright

This could be a blessing in disguise, who ever plays for the bills is going to get killed by that offensive line and they don't have much to throw to. At least if he ends up playing due to a carr injury he's got a good team around him. It's still possible he could be a starter one day but he's got to get a good opportunity and he's got to perform when it comes.
