The Buffalo Bills traded Tyrod Taylor this offseason and brought in former Alabama QB AJ McCarron to replace him.

However, that didn’t stop them from drafting Wyoming QB Josh Allen with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, though.

Many still expect that McCarron will be the Week 1 starter, but the pressure is certainly on. Following the draft, Bills GM Brandon Beane said there’s no rush to make Allen the starter, but they also aren’t going to hold him back if he dominates in training camp and the preseason (via NYup.com):

“We’re not going to rush him, but you know if he somehow wins the job, he wins it,” Beane said. “There’s other players out there. There will be 52 other players out there and if they see that he’s clearly the best, I don’t think we could do that. We wouldn’t do that at any other position, so we’ll let it go. But he’s got a lot of catching up to do, that’s the thing. AJ and Nathan (Peterman) are a long way ahead just getting in here with (offensive coordinator) Brian (Daboll) when the offseason conditioning program started.”

McCarron has plenty of motivation to succeed, as this is his first real chance to earn a starting job.

Still, the Bills invested a lot in Allen, so that will definitely be a battle to watch as the summer progresses.
