Will Luke McCown be on trading block?

EJ Manuel and Terrell Pryor are going to be good. They won't be the reason their teams suck. Luke McCown is a back up. He can't start anywhere in the NFL. Not even Jacksonville.

The jury is still out on the first two....

Don't get caught up in the hype machine. Any intelligent GM is picking McCown over Manuel and Pryor right now.

Any GM starting McCown over either of them is stupid. McCown has been in the league for YEARS. His ceiling is serviceable back up. If we're going off preseason performances like it seems we are since everybody is praising McCown, then Manuel has looked just as good if not better. And so has Pryor. They're doing it with much less, and Pryor is doing it behind a dreadful o line. McCown is the one that has people believing the hype machine.

What else is there to go off of? EJ Manuel has yet to play a down in any NFL regular season games, and Terrelle Pryor has a 46% completion average for his one season in the NFL.. McCown has a career 58 % completion percentage.

As far as doing more with less.. Except with the Texans Luke has been using second/third/fourth string WR in preseason and the other two have been running with the starters or same.

On a side note, that old adage that playing behind a great QB for a number of years helps has been dis-proven by Matt Flynn... He has also proven that the Packers are no better at drafting QBs than anyone else.

I meant judging off preseason for McCown when we've seen him in regular season games. And for that reaso, he's not a starter in the NFL now. EJ Manuel and Pryor just stole spots from veterans, though not very good veterans.

Trust me, Pryot and Manuel are going to do great things. I've been saying Pryor should start since last year. Dude is a beast.

So was J. Russ, Leaf, ... Thinks do not always work out as expected.

I met Jamarcus Russell in the club in Moss Point, MS like right after he got drafted. Mind you, Moss Point is the HOOD. The club had just opened back up because it got shot up EVERY week. So why he was there? Idk, but he was. His mind wasn't on football. I believe he could still be good to this day though.

I don't know much about Leaf. I was really little back then.

But EJ Manuel and Terrell Pryor, you can screenshot what I'm saying: They WILL be good, dynamic players barring injuries. Manuel will be Donovan McNabb like. Pryor will be like Kap.

I would start McCown over Sanchez any and every day of the week.

I mean, did anyone else notice McCown's accuracy sunday vs. the Texans?
