AJ McCarron ... should we?

AJ McCarron on impending free agency: We’re open to everything – ProFootballTalk

Arbitrator finds Bengals improperly placed A.J. McCarron on NFI – ProFootballTalk

Learn behind Brees for a couple of years?

Re: AJ McCarron ... should we?

Anything would be an upgrade over Chase Daniels (although I have a theory that having him as your No. 2 is motivation for the offensive line not to let anything happen to Drew Brees)...

In fact, I'm still curious why we let Luke McCown out the door and not just heal up; but McCarron would be an interesting get into Payton's development...

He’s been sitting behind someone for a couple of years. He’s going to go somewhere that gives him an immediate chance to start.

Maybe. Talk is the Browns. But why go to one of the teams that most likely will take a QB in the first round? I'd like to see him with either the Broncos or the Cardinals. That makes those teams instant division contenders if AJ plays like he did in that playoff game against the Steelers in the playoffs two years ago...

He's going to go to the Browns. They tried to trade for him last season and they have his coach there.

Who in their right mind would want to go to Cleveland and watch their career flounder? That is a broken system and there is no quick fix.

Re: AJ McCarron ... should we?

I don't have a problem with Chase like many do here. But AJ would be an interesting prospect behind Brees and possibly an eventual replacement (depending on how he develops and picks up the offense). Wouldn't mind seeing that happen.

But I'm sure he's going to go somewhere that'll give him a shot to start. That's not happening here for a couple more years. Maybe more.

Re: AJ McCarron ... should we?

I think the Saints will draft a QB in April.

Which round though?

I’m a little intrigued by QB Kyle Lauletta (Richmond) as a late rounder/priority free agent. Tremendous accuracy and labeled by some as the ultimate competitor. Terrible arm strength though. I’m not good at evaluating QB’s... Too complex lol.

IF only Daniel hadn't missed that tackle in the Vikings game!!! McCown would have stopped him!!!

My biggest concern with McCarron is that he isn't very good.

Re: AJ McCarron ... should we?

I don't even know why this is even a topic.

- AJ isn't going to sign up to be a back up with plenty of teams needing a starter.
- We will sign Brees you just don't let him walk.

All the teams except one have signed their "bridge" qb. Buffalo would be the only team he could start right now. There is really a chance he signs with a team like the Saints. N.O., NE and Pittsburgh all have aging QB's that should retire within the next two years. If he would sign something like a 4 yr deal with the first two being cheap and escalating the last two after Drew's retirement I could see something being done.

The kids not bad. He is above Avg. IMO. Let him learn under SP and behind Drew for two years. Could have a huge impact on the guy. You have to remember, our back up as of now is Hill or possibly a late rd draft pick.

There is no other starting positions out there except Buffalo. He's either going there or sitting behind someone for a couple of years.

Jim was pretty damn good. We just got him at the end of his career. And he was still above avg in 94 and 95
