"McCarron doesn't have an above-average arm or mobility. For the pros, he looks like a solid backup who could function well as a game-manager for a team that is based around a tough defense and running game. McCarron could help a team win in that situation and has the potential to be a quarterback similar to Trent Dilfer with the 2000 Ravens."
This was said about Dalton...
"I have seen Dalton compared to Drew Brees, but at this point, a more realistic comparison is to another player on the New Orleans depth chart. Like Daniel, Dalton lacks ideal height and arm strength, but is an accurate passer. Both played in a shotgun offense at the collegiate level. Daniel was not drafted, but he lacked the "it" factor and perhaps some of that was absorbing losses against stiffer competition in the Big XII."
Walterfootball also said that Tajh Boyd's comparison was Russell Wilson and Manziel to a younger Mike Vick. Oh! And compared Geno Smith to Donovan McNabb.
Then throw in Jimmy Clausen viewed as Kurt Warner.
But you also have to look at who wrote those, Greg Cox. A guy who only scouted a few quarterbacks that season. He hasn't scouted quarterbacks on the website before or after.
Seriously. Check out every other scouting report, it's either McGuire or Campbell.
Cox scouted 3 quarterbacks. Gabbert, Kaepernick, and Dalton.
Context is key.
