McCarron had positioned the Bengals well for their 1st playoff win under Lewis only to be undone by Jeremy Hill's fumble with minutes left and then a super bonehead penalty by Burfict giving the Steelers thier FG for the win? He looked pretty good in the 4th QTR with the game on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and Rob Johnson and Matt Flynn both looked great in a single game ... if I had a $1 for every crappy QB in the last 25 years who looked good for a quarter or even an entire game and then sucked when given a chance to be a regular starter, I could have retired a decade earlier.

It wasn't an endorsement, merely a counterpoint to those who simply wrote him off. He is a very unknown quantity yet in a playoff game, in the 4th QTR, against a tough team, he came through. Rob Johnson's big game that led Buffalo to acquire him was not that type of game. Apples to oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Because this is reportedly one of the deepest QB draft classes in a very very long time and we can probably get our long term answer at the position there. Why is everyone obsessed with blaaaahhhh vet QBs who basically don't stand a chance of being Elite? Time to stop settling for diamonds in the rough we find through trade or FA or late in the draft (Edwards, Fitz, Tyrod) and shoot for the stars and trade UP in the 1st round (thinking back to the fact that we traded down for a QB no one seemed to want still makes me kinda sick) to get whichever QB we want. There might be 6 1st round QBs this year. That's crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think the top 5 or 6 QB's in this draft will be better pros than McCarron. This is the year to draft a QB even if we sit and make no trades upward. As for having a vet in here to help until the rookie is ready we would want someone better that McCarron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 What would he cost? If its say, a 6th then sure. Bring him in and let him compete with whomever we draft / sign and Peterman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarron is definitely worth a look if it's at a reasonable deal. There is a reason why he is appealing to the league to change his status to free agent. Cincy won't let him go. Why is that if he's just another replaceable backup? Maybe because they are a loser organization that doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

KW95 - JA17 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I still think with a new offensive coordinator we can mold Tyrod into something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't trade for Tyrod and he has been a top 20 QB since he got here which is hardly the same as being benched for a rookie after 3 games. Tyrod isn;t the answer but he also isn't a huge bust.
