Fans have overestimated his value. People keep talking about his "good tape" but I'm not sure he showed much last year. He was managed very carefully in his starts, averaged 160 yards, took no deep shots, and looked oblivious in the pocket.
The 160 is an unfair number. If you start with the Pittsburgh game, when he played meaningful minutes, he averaged 209 per game. Not setting the world on fire, but much better than 160. His rating during the regular season was almost 100 and he did have a couple good drives in that terrible weather of the playoff game.
If Brock Osweiler could get $72 million, McCarron on a rookie deal could have garnered a second round pick.
