AJ McCarron

Recommended Posts

The Bengals backup QB has completed 3 years of a 4 years contract..

..but reading Bengal web sites, there appears to be the thought that he will be traded this off-season.

They aren't 'moving on' from Andy Dalton...and McCarron reportedly would like a chance to pay and get paid

He's played in only 7 games

 

Does anyone think he's a starting QB for a team (I'm talking about you, Bears!!!) that needs one?

The problem is, it is the Bengals, they want to fleece you in a trade, and AJ is going to have to wait it out and have some team take a chance on him for a 2 year contract after next season. His trade value was highest last year when he filled in for Dalton and showed something. If the Bengals are willing to give him for a 5th rounder, some team will take a chance on him. If they want more, it is not going to happen.

I think he is a good QB and would be a starter on any of the teams that need a quarterback right now.

If he is worth trading for.  You would think Hue Jackson and the Brown's would make an attempt.   Hue knows him better than any other HC

That makes sense....

The only obvious problem would be the Bengals trading McCarron to a division rival.

 

Does it make more sense to trade for somebody else's backup who has seldom played but has been in the NFL 3 or 4 years or to draft a QB No.1  and own him for 5 years at low cost.

Hard to know

I honestly thought AJ would stink in the Pro's. I figured he was the typical Bama QB with the great looking GF and wouldn't even make it in the NFL. I was wrong. I still don't think is he all that but as a backup QB he would be decent IMO. He could start for the Browns but that team is a mess so I doubt he could do anything with them.

He's got to go somewhere....this year or next...To sign again with the Bengals is to resign as the backup..

........Can the Browns afford to give up their No,.1 choice, even for a new QB

I don`t know much about AJ McCarron, but the QB I would keep an eye on is Mike Glennon FA from the Bucs. He had a good rookie year on a bad team. Then they drafted Winston the next year. He may very well turn out to be a decent starter for someone.

    • I can too. And that will tell us everything we need to know about how the view him. It will tell us their feelings on the tight end room, and what direction they pick from there will tell us even more.    but if they take him at 15, we won’t know much about what might have happened, as they will be landing someone they had rated highly and fell to them. 
    • Glad that’s over…    if I wanted to argue about it, I would have responded far more in depth than pointing out how you were attempting to gaslight me. I did not. Meaning I was ending my part of whatever the argument was. You “putting a finality to it” and then listing bullet points tells me it was the argument you wanted all along, which makes sense why you brought Grigson up in the first place. Bait, hook, gaslight. Almost got me buddy. You are a funny guy, Doug 
    • Putting a finality on an argument you want to have.   There is a theory that Ballard won't draft a OL high because ARs injuries were not caused by a poor oline.  I felt it important to note that since Luck's major injuries were also not caused by his oline, Ballard could still want to improve it like he did in 2018 simply because AR is The Franchise. And its important to point that out because there has been a running (false) narrative for about 9 years that Luck's oline was the (main) reason for his injuries that kept him out of games.  The (false) narrative is based upon, IMO, a detest of Grigson, and not reality about the facts (or strong rumors) behind the kidney laceration and snowboarding shoulder. Therefore, mentioning Grigson and the (false) narrative was germain to the point about Ballard possibly drafting Oline high this draft to protect AR. Mentioning Grigson shouldn't trigger a CB vs RG discussion, unless people reading it are gaslighted by their own reading lens.
    • That is a very inaccurate description of what happened.  At this point it’s history and doesn’t need to be revisited but I will say Chloe adds value to this board and should be and is by most encouraged to post, even if people don’t always agree with her.  
    • My response was in regards to another posted suggesting that the Colts need to get the pick right when it comes to picking a WR. I agree with you .
