AJ McCarron

jc in c-ville : 4/25/2017 2:31 pm
Bengals seeking a first for him which is due diligence given the upcoming draft and teams needy for a QB.

Given our situation with Eli, how far fetched would it be to give up our #2 for this guy?

He looked very accomplished for someone who was thrust into the scene, is a proven winner at Alabama and has been under pressure and handled it well. Being a QB under NS is no easy task.

This is someone who appears to be more of a sure thing as opposed to someone drafted mid 1st round and beyond and keep in mind, as this team is a competitive play-off caliber team for the next few years- when we truly need a QB with starter potential, the Giants will have to give up the farm to move from say #20/32 to the top few picks.

Yes, they gave up a bunch in 2004 but that will seem innocent in comparison.

A first? Lol

No to a second.
why would give up a 2  
YAJ2112 : 4/25/2017 2:33 pm : link
for a guy who will hit free agency before he ever starts a game for us?
A first?  
David in LA : 4/25/2017 2:36 pm : link
Possibly for his wife.

a 2, as you indicate might be too much..Since I expect(hope) Eli will play for years to come, might as well draft one
No

What has this guy done to deserve that kind of haul?
Makes zero sense

This had gotta be a joke, right?

The Giants shouldn't give up a 7th round pick for him let alone a 1st or 2nd. Why would the Giants give up a draft pick for a guy who would sit on the bench for a year and then become a free agent? Only a team that plans on him competing for the starting job this year should consider giving up anything for him.
He's more of a sure thing how exactly?

I swear, no position rots fans and teams' minds more in sports than QB.

Played in a playoff game against the Steelers in 2015, it was early in the first period when he came in for Dalton, he played very well and the Bengals should have won that game had it not been for the officiating which was an absolute disgrace, and for a melt down by some defensive players named Jones and Burfict.

They had the lead with about 1:30 on the clock, Pitt got the ball back and was intercepted by Burfict which in my view wrapped it up, I forget the details from there but the game was a disgrace of NFL officiating and a lack of discipline by the Bengals players.

How much can you go on by 1 game. LOL. That is a joke, he was, I believe a 2nd rounder, not certain. But I think he has a shot to be a decent player, but I would not view him as my QB of the future.
Sure, count me in...

I would be satisfied with his mother. But I'm an old bastard.

example of QBs being overrated. A first is crazy. No way. I also wouldn't give a second. But it's a weak QB draft, so somebody might.

He was a 5th round pick.
I wouldn't give up anything higher than a 4th.

What makes anyone think McCarron is a starting caliber QB?
I hope Washington traded for him  
LCtheINTMachine : 4/25/2017 3:30 pm : link
He'd fit in well there
Wifey  
LCtheINTMachine : 4/25/2017 3:32 pm : link
Yeah,  
Doomster : 4/25/2017 3:41 pm : link
but check out the thumbs!


No one knows what Cinci has in McCarron.....no way you give up a 1 or 2, for a fifth rounder, that basically never played....
