OK, let's get the most popular, unrealistic yet "witty", answer out of the way: Mike Zimmer.
I ask this because Bradford is down and Teddy is not ready. They are currently having to roll with Case Keenum. Zims might be willing to pull a hue for AJM or would you let Andy go if the price is right and what would it have to be?

Isn't Bradford only out for one week? Also I think Bridgewater will be back by mid season so I don't see us getting much on a marginal upgrade for a few weeks.
You guys realize McCarron is not even close to the same commaditie that Palmer was right? He was a proven QB who showed he could lead a franchise and top offense.

Bradford out this week and he played very well last week. I'm not sure Bridgewater takes his spot back if Sam keeps it up.

They didn't give up a first round pick for him to be a backup.

I doubt it would happen, but just for the sake of conversation:
1st, 2nd, and conditional 2019 draft pick.

Rumors are Bridgewater's career is over due to nerve damage. Not sure how true that is. Give Bradford another couple weeks and he will be out for the season as usual.

Yep. Ability has never been his problem. It's always been about availability with him.

You know that last offensive pass interference call on the Vikings Stephon Diggs was awful. Does Pittsburgh always have the refs in their back pockets? This game has been one sided officiated in the Steelers favor. I hate the Vikes but actually rooting for them with all the lousy calls against them in this game.

Always, Always, Always, that's what the NFL does for the largest bandwagon team in the league!!!
Ridiculous, then the rapist tried to roll some dudes ankle last week, wow no fine, no suspension, not even any talk about it!
Time to change the name of the league from NFL to GHL

Do the squeelers have the refs on their side? Of course. So do the Pattycakes and every other team in favor with his royal highness Roger.. I bet the Cowshitters are gonna play hell with the refs now that Jerry Jones is playing hardball with Roger's salary..

The Bengals won't trade McCarron. He may end up starting for them if Dalton keeps being ineffective.

Too bad Driskell broke his finger. At least he can run away.

Dalton's been about as bad as a QB possibly can be this season and Marvin didn't bench him, and shot down questions about doing so. It's not going to happen. The only way McCarron plays is if Andy gets hurt. Which wouldn't be suprising playing behind this line.

C'mon man, haven't you learned anything this week? It's not Dalton, or even the OL that was at fault. It was the lame ass OC calling plays. The Bengals went over the top and shitcanned that lousy OC. The new guy will be calling plays with Lazor like accuracy, we'll be putting 45 up on the Packers. You just watch!

That's why the new OC needs to tell Dalton to scramble at first opportunity.
Either he plays better in doing so... or gets injured, and AJ Mac gets his shot.

And then AJ Mac gets injured and we can give up. Solid plan.

Zim will work it out. He's that good IMO!
