Not setting the world on fire, but much better than 160. His rating during the regular season was almost 100 and he did have a couple good drives in that terrible weather of the playoff game.
If Brock Osweiler could get $72 million, McCarron on a rookie deal could have garnered a second round pick.
Osweiler started in Manning's place and looked good.
You're comparing Osweilers play this year to McCarron last year. I think there's something to be said about guys being in the same system for years and playing well. If you put McCarron on a new team in a new system, I think you'll see the same results as you are for Osweiler.
