There are Top Picks and Pro Bowlers looking for a chance to lead a team again. There are many, many back-up QB's. Even if by some remote chance a team might consider McCarron, certainly he is not worth a #1 draft pick. Yes, if anybody offers Bengals a # 1 draft pick for McCarron, or Peerman, or one of our 3 field goal kickers in camp, yes, you take the # 1 Draft Pick. .........but if a team has to replace a starting QB, I do not see the owner or coach even considering McCarron ........What McCarron did replacing Dalton was not impressive. Many other back-ups have a better resume of leading NFL teams to victory.
This was a ranking of back up QB's from SI back in May. Your over selling the list of guys better even if you don't agree with this list point by point. What McCaron offers is a possible long term solution if the thought is Tannehill's injury woes for that knee could be an on going issue.
