Rank our Backup QB
(05-27-2016, 07:56 PM)Shake n Blake Wrote: Campbell didn't play for us, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. What Fitz did was post a 70.0 passer rating and an Akili Smith-like 5.1 YPA here. Dude had Housh, Kelly, and a hobbled Chad. Not the best but I wouldn't say the weapons were turrible. At least not enough to justify how awful he was. 

Fitz got an opportunity in Buffalo because Trent Edwards got injured. He then ran with that opportunity and posted great numbers. So to say he got opportunities elsewhere because of what he did in Cincy is kinda silly considering he was still a backup when he left. Buffalo is where he made a name for himself.

I like McCarron and I think he's the best backup we've had since Kitna, but it boggles my mind why people think he's clutch. Kid fumbled away the game in Denver (costing us a BYE) and crapped his pants for 3.5 quarters vs Pittsburgh. You slap a Dalton name plate on his jersey and people would be ripping him for a choke job fumble in Denver and ripping him for 3 fumbles and an INT against Pittsburgh. He only hung 16 on an absolute joke of a defense. With all these weapons? That's clutch? Pfff...

I'm not sure where I'd rank Mac as a backup. Top 10 for now probably, but there are some good ones out there other than McCarron and it doesn't seem like some on here are willing to acknowledge that. I'd say there's around a dozen backups that you could at least make an argument that they're as solid or more so at the moment.

Agreed on the Kitna comparison. McCarron was an upgrade over what we have had for awhile.

People consider him clutch more than not clutch because of two National Championships, his 0.5 quarter against Pittsburgh gave us the lead (latest lead in a playoff game that we've had since 1990, and he seems to stand in there. Those first 3.5 quarters against Pittsburgh weren't very good, well, they were downright awful. I really think the conversation would be different had Hill not fumbled that ball.

McCarron is better than most backup QBs, but he's not like having Steve Young or Aaron Rogers waiting on the bench. I'd rank him the in the 9-12 range at this point. Much higher than I ever would have ranked Josh Johnson.
