Went 2-2 with him as a starter, the two losses were to the eventual SB champion Denver Broncos in Denver in overtime, and to the Pittsburgh Steelers after the Bengals had the lead and the ball with less than 3 minutes to play. Before Hill, Pacman and Burfict choked.
Quote:Btw, anyone who thinks McCarron is "a star in the making" needs to back away from the meth pipe. If ANY of the 31 other teams felt that way, they would've (a) drafted him in rounds 1-5 of the 2014 draft...when he was well known as the QB of Alabama, or (b) offered a 1st to the Bengals last year. Now the hype train is in full force again and we'll just have to wait until the draft to see if any teams truly think McCarron is a future star.
I'm sure the Bengals aren't asking for anything crazy like multiple 1st rounders, yet here McCarron is...still a Bengal. People need to get a grip.
This is as stupid as saying "If ANY of the other 31 other teams felt like Tom Brady was a star in the making, they would've (a) drafted him in rounds 1-5 of the 2000 draft...when he was well known as the QB of Michigan, or (b) offered a 1st to the Patriots while he was on the bench behind Bledsoe."
I'm not saying AJM = Tom Brady (despite the similarities in rate passing stats in their first NFL season of experience). What I'm saying is that your premise is really stupid.
Gosh why didn't teams draft Aaron Rodgers when they all had the chance. Why didn't teams all draft Drew Brees when they had the chance. Why didn't teams draft Tony Romo at all, or at least trade for him when he was riding the pine in Dallas?
Don't quit your day job, whatever that is.
