how about 10
Mike Glennon I could see as being viewed as a better backup than AJ.
Sanchez, RG3, Foles, Schaub I think you are rating them based on performances from years ago, not recently.
Drew Stanton was abysmal for years but did play well when Carson got hurt last year, I can see that one.
Hasselbeck was in and out of a lot of games he played in this year he's so old and brittle. But I'll give you that one too, because he played well this year when called on.
Osweiler is the guy I would view as the most comparable to McCarron - both are still young, both relatively inexperienced, both with a high ceiling.
Gabbert had a rebirth this year, but you can't really call him a backup.
I would not take Mallet over McCarron, don't know why you would unless you are just an AJ hater.
So Glennon, Stanton, Hasselbeck, Osweiler I agree on. AJM is still one of the top backups in the league and unlike guys like Hasselbeck and Stanton, has the potential to improve with experience.
If I were the Browns, Texans, Rams, 49ers or Bills, I would be on the phone with the Bengals about AJM and I'd be thinking about making him my starter.
It's borderline but there's room for a guy like AJM to start in the NFL right now if Austin Davis and Brian Hoyer are out there.
