We’ve tried drafting QB in the first round and giving up 1st round picks for QB’s and that hasn’t worked out either. Would you say there's a better chance of acquiring a franchise QB in the top 10 of the NFL draft or trading for a later round NFL backup that's looked good in limited game action?

You have just a bit of Bama bias in your posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 He’s 27yrs old and has been in the league how many years now? I feel like ive heard this before with another player we had. Hmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I'm pulling for McCarron, I don't care if we trade up to #1, he should be the starter until he does something to lose the job. Redshirt the rookie, pray that a year from now we have 2 good QBs, trade McCarron for multiple draft picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 He’ll get a chance- his deal virtually says it. They’ve gotta go get a prospect to groom though; one obtained through reasonable means ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it worth giving up a ton of draft picks for the chance to get Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, or Allen? I don’t think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backup is always the most popular guy on the team. If we start a rookie week 1 and he goes through growing pains, fans will be banging the table for McCarron to come in. Give the rookie all the time in the world. Sit him down, if McCarron is sucking 5-6 games into the season bench him for [insert draft choice].

We could have had Russell Wilson in the 3rd round but we drafted a WR who was a bust. I almost smashed my TV when we passed on Wilson.

Is used to taking snaps under center. Has a 66.9% accuracy percentage which is better than every other QB prospect in this year’s draft besides Mayfield. He has now had a couple of years to sit behind Andy Dalton, a solid NFL QB, and acclimate to the NFL, and has looked good in spot duty when Dalton was out. I think going up to pick 2 is going to take all of our draft capital. I’d rather give McCarron an honest chance to be our QB. Surround him with talent from this year’s draft and let’s see what the kid can do. Accuracy percentages 2017 Mayfield. 70.1% Rosen 62.6% Darnold 63.1% Allen 56.3% Jackson 59.1% McCarron career 66.9% Id say we gave Tyrod an honest shot at winning the job. He did. He had a winning record. We made the playoffs. And we bitched and whined every minute of it as fans bc he wasnt a “franchise QB”. So yeh, lets relive that with AJ. Sounds lovely. No thanks. I want to trade the farm now for a QB. That way if he needs to be burned at the stake, it’ll br well-deserved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Look at my avatar. Fricken trade up. There's three great QB prospects in Darnold, Rosen, and Mayfield imo. I'm sick of being in a constant state of mediocrity because we can't find our franchise QB. Picking 1st round QB's outside the top 10 hasn't worked. Trading for promising backups hasn't worked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two are not mutualy exclusive. I think the only way McCarron doesn't start day one are...... - we draft Rosen - McCarron gets hurt - Peterman wins the job in TC (not likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
