I don't think McCarron is a great QB, but there are not even enough good QBs for every team to have a starter, so when talking about back ups the competition is pretty weak.
McCarron has not proved he's that good at all.
He played in 4 games. Going 2-2. 2-3 if you include the Steelers game.
Had thrown 3 INTs and had 4 fumbles in his 5 games that he played.
Only averaged 208.8 yards per game.
In games he started? Averaged 191 yards per game.
Again, every QB I mentioned I take over him. He really isn't all that great. He's a game manager backup. Hasn't won us anything and literally beat Blaine Gabbert and a Ravens team on their 4th string QB with multiple injuries.
Can he be better? Absolutely. But there's 10 guys I take over him in a heartbeat. Seems the Bengals were willing to try out one of the guys I mentioned to beat out McCarron too.
