"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.
I didn't think McCarron played that well against the Broncos. He played alright, but he wasn't a stud or looked like anything great. Our first two drives he did pretty well, but you have to remember that out receivers probably had some of the best sideline catches I have ever seen from a group of receivers that game. After those 2 drives our offense looked horrible. He fumbled the ball twice in overtime losing us that game too. If I remember correctly we only scored 3 points after our first 2 drives.
