Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 3 hours ago, Mat68 said: We are not talking runningbacks here. The no tread is a cute way of saying inexperienced. I dont trust Qbs when a team is willing to trade them within their own division. Cleveland was offering a hefty price but still. One of the best coaches in NFL history did it with a guy who then led a top ten scoring offense and threw for over 4000 yds for the new Team.

turftoe Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I think Mccarron could be a good fit with our new OC. Since he could be a free agent, any trade with Cincinnati would likely require some type of contract extension. Personally, I still think Peterman has similar qualities and may show better with our new offense. We have so many needs in the draft, I would hate to see us bundle a boatload of picks to move up into the top 5 for a qb.

Perhaps the organization could hire her as some type of on-screen TV personality publicizing the team, doing team interviews and what not? She's much better looking than John Murphy. In fact, can we replace "Murph" with Katherine Webb entirely? She can probably do his radio show just as well. Is that you, Brent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone will answer from the "what did he show in college"? perspective. He has started 3 games his 1st accrued season (2nd year in the league). Low passing yardage, good completion percentage, good TD/INT percentage, did enough for them to win. I would give McCarron the edge on "shows NFL level ability to know what he doesn't know" as far as reading D and identifying coverage, but plenty of open questions. All he did was win in college. Alabama had a stacked roster but they were a run heavy offence. When Alabama needed a 1st down or a big play to win the game McCarron was up to the task. His 2012 and 2013 seasons were fun to watch, I really think he is a better QB than Andy Dalton. If he doesn't win his case against the NFL I would trade a 2nd and 3rd for him easily. I don't make guarantees that often but I guarantee McCarron will be a good/great QB when he gets his shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Daboll has a direct line to Nick Saban, I'm sure he would give Daboll any info he wanted on McCarron. McCarron, Mayfield and Peterman would be our best possible scenario for the QB position in my opinion. 1 hour ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I think it's a moot point. I don't think the Bengals trade Dalton for a 3rd. Certainly not for AJ McCarron. As someone else already commented, if they thought he was better than Dalton, why didn't they vote with their depth chart? I don't agree with this, I remember their being multiple reports that Cousins was pushing RG3 and should be starting over him. The Redskins started RG3 for 2 1/2 seasons over Cousins. What we know now of the way Cousins is playing and the numbers he is putting up I'm guessing those reports that Cousins was out playing RG3 were true. The only way McCarron was going to move up the depth chart was if Dalton got injured. Dalton is still a good QB, it would take a lot for the Bengals to make that change.

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 He was a game manager - in college! How hard is it to be a "winner" at Bama where you are surround by blue chippers. There is nothing special about this guy and would be a lateral if not backwards move from Tyrod. He also has one of the worst tattoos ever. 34 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: All he did was win in college. Alabama had a stacked roster but they were a run heavy offence.

Yeah, Amari Cooper was a scrub. when Dalton got hurt in 2014, he was a MVP candidate and the Bengals were playing the best football In the NFL. So you think McCarrom has MVP type ability?

A valid point, the entrenched starter (usually) has the advantage The Redskins did have some other drivers: the excessive amount they gave up in the RGIII trade-up; the hope that RGIII could return to his ROY form (which was >> Cousins) Edited January 20, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, there are lots of backups in the league who have never started an NFL game and might pop up as "Yes" if they had done one specific thing: played in a few NFL games Edited January 20, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
