And it is absolutely falser that all back up QBs are the same.


You are actually contradicting yourself.  On one hand you are claiming that McCarron is good enough for some other team to trade for him or sign him to a big contract, then you claim that he is no better than any other back up in the league.  Both of those statements can't be true.

I know QBs go down for less than a season which is why I said we'd get .500 ball out of AJ like we did in the regular season last year. I'm not saying Davis is as good as AJ but I do believe the team carried AJ last year, he did just enough to win the games we should have one and lost to the good teams he played. I think we coule get the same RESULTS out of a lesser QB with the skill on this team

And I am not contradicting myself, teams that are desperate for starting QB's overpay all of the time. I'm saying we should stike while the irons hot with AJ. Between his play last year and the salary/years remaining his value is at its peak, and we should capitalize on that. 

Also I never said anything about all backup qb's being the same. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't put words in my mouth like that. Ok, thanks!
