Im not sure how you can justify NOT trading Mccarron at this point

Against Denver, Mac went for 200 yards on 35 attempts (5.71 yards per attempt), with 1 TD and one very crucial turnover. Not sure what that proves. His other matchups were against SF, Baltimore and Pitt. Hardly a murderer's row of defenses, yet he put up similar inefficient numbers.

SF - 15/21 for 192 yards and 1 TD with a 119 passer rating and a win. 

Baltimore - 17/27 160 yards 2 TD with a 103 rating and a win. 

Those are hardly " inefficient" numbers.

Its obvious last year that the coaching staff protected Mccarron by making him more of a "game manager" type of quarterback by limiting his deep throws and how many times he threw the ball. Our team last year was good enough where he didnt need to throw the ball 40 times down field to win. Mccarron can be a capable quarterback in this league given a real chance and im betting a team is willing to trade a second round pick for this chance.
