He has proven he can win games in the NFL and has upside for another NFL team with options of grabbing a 1st round draft choice who is unproven and that team has to pay them 5 times more than AJM to see if they pan out.
I think our fans are severely under valuing AJM due to him being a mid round pick. The Bengals made a great draft pick and no different than players like Geno Atkins, Wilson or others, he simply has outperformed his draft position. Jimmy G. same thing for the Pats.
I stick #1 pick or we keep him (and trade him next year) to back up our QB at least 1 more year. A veteran back up QB would cost us more and may give us no confidence in their ability to win if AD went down.
This is like having a great backup first baseman and a terrible starting outfield in baseball. The value is meaningless unless you get a return on it, and the player you're acquiring is going to play and affect more games.
McCarron could also come in and crap all over himself and kill his value. This is the highest it will be, so cash in and take advantage. There are holes in the roster that would benefit.
Yeah, some people underrate McCarron, but good Lord do some of you overrate him.
