Sporting News Ranks AJ McCarron League's Best Backup QB
#62
Oh look, the same tired AJM haters making the same tired criticisms.

Article lists him as best backup QB in the league? Can't hear that, gotta start trashing him on the internet ASAP.....

In his limited time, a sack% 0.2 higher than Russell Wilson, QB rating higher than Roethlisberger, Rivers, Eli, Aaron Rodgers.

2-1 in regular season, losing in OT to the eventual Superbowl champs at their house.

Delivered the Bengals first playoff win in a long time on a platter before Hill gave it back.

Yet some of you are still such irrational haters that you can't even say "Yeah, it's nice to have him, he's a nice backup QB for us."

Andy is the better QB, that's why he's going to start and he had a great season last year. But some of you guys really get upset when others point out the promise and upside of AJM.

Which rate stats would you rather have-

66.4% completions, 1.7% INT, 7.2 YPA, 97.1 QB rating, 9.2 sack%

vs

63.9% completions, 2.9% INT, 6.9 YPA, 86.5 QB rating, 9.0 sack%

?

Because the first one was AJM who is just so bad and the all star defense carried him because he's a sorry game manager, and the second one was Tom Brady in 2001. Tom Brady, who people said was carried by an all star defense (Seymour, Bruschi, Ted Johnson, Vrabel, Ty Law, Lawyer Milloy, etc) and was labeled a game manager.

Am I calling AJM Tom Brady? Absolutely not. But if you look at AJM on tape from last year and Tom Brady on tape from early 2001, they don't look all that different. They had basically the same scouting report heading into the draft. Can AJM make the most out of what he's got? I guess we'll all see. That's the million dollar question. But as he is right now, he's shown he can win football games.

If you want to badmouth having his high-level potential and solid current capabilities as your backup QB, due to some guys that were touting AJM as Dalton's superior, well that just shows how objective your opinion is. Seems like some of you guys are reacting with your emotions rather than your brains.

Glad the Bengals have somebody who can come in if needed and keep the boat afloat.
