WRAPradio Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 We'll probably be keeping 3 QBs on the roster this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrlnutz Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like it...the fact that we waited until round 5 to get our project QB. Seems as good as any other and I like the big school, big game experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khatmandude Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Nice. To be able to get him in Rd 5 is very nice. He doesn't need much developing, just some mechanic changing so if the dbag doesn't sign a long term deal, McCarron is able to take over and provide the same production at 1/20 of the cost. And yes, agree with WRAPradio...3 QBs on the roster this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|Numbers| Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hmmm... Couple of moves in this draft have me confused. This is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 AJ McCarron or Andy Dalton? Who does God love the most? JJ is nice to look at but AJ's fiance is smokin'. Gotta side with AJ on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubba Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 He's on our team so I'm a fan now. Strengths NFL-caliber size and height. Balanced passer with a solid rhythm and proper mechanics. Sees the field well and makes smart decisions. Moves well within the pocket. Good job recognizing pressure. Doesn't miss throws he should make; takes what the defense gives him. Confident leader. Weaknesses Average body type and slender build. Lacks an elite arm strength and velocity on throws downfield. Gets too much air under his deep ball. Occasionally throws off his back foot. Struggles to get much behind passes over 20 yards. Some durability concerns: minor foot surgery in Jan. 2014, past issues with his right knee and fatigued throwing shoulder. Full overview of McCarron at CBS Sports. Outlook Despite McCarron's NFL size, he lacks an elite frame and could be considered fragile due to past injury concerns. He does have a nice level of accuracy on short-to-intermediate throws but lacks the arm strength for a consistent deep ball. He's efficient as a game-managing quarterback but doesn't have the skill set to become a game-changing quarterback. He has solid leadership skills and is a good decision-maker. McCarron could earn an NFL starting job due to his finer qualities. He compares to Andy Dalton of the Cincinnati Bengals. That may not be a bad thing for McCarron's draft stock, as Dalton was a former early second-round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slag911 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I want to hear the story on A.Murray. I bet they are kind of pissed the Chiefs took him right before. I'll take Alabama in the 5th though. Great draft this year methodically drafting all the needs but not in the order I expected at all. Great value for all positions of need and all players not supposed to be there where we took them.

Squirrlnutz Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Ian Rappaport just said the Bengals were never even looking at Bridgewater. Yea I have a hard time believing they wanted to toss aside a 2nd or 3rd rounder to jump back into the first and grab a backup QB and create a storyline about a QB battle. Seems to go in the face of Marvin Lewis' approach to 12 years of drafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
