Really? You would like to see us drop our #2 QB who is still under a rookie deal and shows plenty of promise to instead pick up NY's 3rd string guy who couldn't beat out Chad Henne or Blaine Gabbert to secure a roster spot with the Jaguars. He most likely will be cut as he's only a practice squad member who hasn't ever won a QB competition in the NFL. He managed a 3 for 7 late in a preseason game and you want him over McCarron? Hold your horses dude.

McCarron just needs to get healthy, seems like we have been saying this forever. That is the prob.

Stanzi does have a nice motion, which lots of QB's do not have, i can see why someone would see the potential.

Jason Campbell

Anyone else?


Is Jordan Palmer signed anywhere?

Trades are possible as well.

Can't make the club in the tub.


The shoulder issues and now a chest issue in no contact is troublesome.

He literally hurt himself throwing the ball in pads.

Until the guy throws a pass in preseason he is pretty much expendable if someone else steps up in my mind.

Agreed. I think McCarron could be a solid backup, but it's fully understandable that some (including me) are starting to get impatient. If McCarron were some FA on the streets, people on here would be saying he's made of glass.

I was thinking the same. I doubt they're all that confident in Josh Johnson.

Vick - he's the best of the bunch, but I think teams are avoiding him because he'd be a high profile backup.
Matt Flynn - still not ready to go, last I heard.
Tyler Thigpen - I'd be interested.
Ryan Lindley - yeah I'd probably rather have JJ

Not much to choose from. I'd really like Flynn if he were ready. Thigpen wouldn't be a bad choice.

Matt Barkley is rumored to be available. A 7th would probably get him at this point.

Rex Grossman always gets signed by someone this time of year.

If Henne is dropped I'd pick him up.

Would we take a shot at Brian Hoyer? He has his moments but I don't know...

Can I dream that Tajh Boyd gets picked up and makes the team as the #2?

You may as well just dream that McCarron can throw a football sometime before his rookie contract expires.

The only McCarron I want to dream about playing with balls is this one....

Could always throw a late draft pick at the eagles for barkley.

Reminds me of Shallow Hal and Jason Alexander's character and that one girl who was smoking hot but he broke up with her because she had a weird toe or something.

If McCarron isn't ready, you have to consider this.  Though JJ has some experience in the system, Barkley gives you a passer that will actually survey the field some rather than takeoff is his first option isn't open.  If Barkley somehow had to be your starter he at least gives you a chance to have other guys win the game.  JJ is a guy you cut and call in an emergency situation for one game.  You give the 7th as I don't think Barkley passes that far on waivers.
