I understand why young QBs who show promise get that extra amount of bonus points as backups in the eyes of people. McCarron held the fort about as well as a 5th round pick with no experience on his first real year could have, plus it's possible we can flip him for a pick eventually OR super unlikely he can take over as a starter here. That's something that can't be said of the Jason Campbells of the world.
Again, not saying McCarron is better, but in the NFL young QBs get bonus points for their youth and potential when compared to older ones. It's the same way Raiders fans are hyped about Derek Carr going 10-22 while Lions/Bears/Eagles/Rams etc. technically have better QBs winning more games but are in various stages of disappointment at the position and/or scrambling to get a young guy in there.
