AJ McCarron is on a long list of successful college QBs who could possibly flop in the NFL.
On that list you have guys like Dalton, Alex Smith, Colt McCoy, Kase Keenum, Kellen Moore.... many of the winningest QBs in college, but often times these players cant muster up to much in the NFL.
Smith and Dalton are the success stories really, and neither have done too much in their careers.
Other guys like Kellen Moore never take a snap, and ride the bench, which may very well happen to McCarron.
McCaron needs a real shot to prove anything, and as many have said, Dalton will need to have a MAJOR meltdown with our organization for him to get that shot. The loyalty of our coaches wont let us get to that point IMO.
So pretty much AJ has two options for getting his shot to play.
1: Dalton has a good year, proves he is our franchise guy, and we trade Mac for a decent draft pick (love to keep him as a backup but if he wants to start somewhere he will need to be traded)
2: Dalton has a terribad year, proves he is not our franchise guy, and AJ goes in to be the next 'savior'
long story short, he wont get any opportunity for a while, barring a Dalton injury.
