Here are five highlights from the game on CincyJungle and even they acknowledge that there's no controversy, but it's good to see them talking him up.

He had a nice deep ball to Marvin Jones and a nice pass to Eifert, which you know I'm excited about utilizing him.

Like I said, no controversy, but it's good to know that we have insurance and possible future trade potential.

The clip cuts off but this was a good pass that just went through the receivers hands. This could have been his best play of the night just avoiding pressure.

But he was very exciting during that game.

His biggest strikes were lack of arm strength and lack of mobility.

I think he, at the very least, proved that his arm isn't as weak as people think it is; especially with that 40 yard bomb to Jones.

As for his lack of mobility...he's working on it. I saw him move around in the pocket a little, escape a little pressure. He was under pressure all freaking night and still had a very nice game.

So I think he's improving on his biggest weaknesses, which is a nice thing to see out of a young QB.

There will be a controversy this year.

The calls for McCarron are going to be intense. At least McCarron has some potential, unlike the previous backups.
