What do we deserve for AJ McCarron?

But there's also Mettenberger who has seen the field, was alright as a gun slinger, will cost less than McCarron, and is younger.

Oh, and Jimmy is also younger than McCarron. McCarron will be 27 years old when the season starts next year.

But there are also benefits for other QBs on the market as well.

I think us as Bengals fans over-hype McCarron due to him playing in Alabama. I just don't see anone trading for him unless extremely desperate.

I thought Garoppolo had one less year on his contract, my bad.  Mettenberger might not have had the best supporting cast, but I don't see him as nearly as polished as McCarron.

"Jimmy" was rated as the #1 FA QB for the upcoming season, although he isn't quite a FA.  He looked good in a couple of his outings but I think McCarron's performance against Denver, in Denver, was his crowning achievement.  Granted, they lost, but he took the #1 defense in the NFL to OT.  

A lot of people will think Jimmy is a product of his system, and he really only got to play in one complete game before getting injured towards the end of his second start.  McCarron went six games for the Bengals, I believe, and played well in the playoff game.
