McCown to the Oakland?

[Shane]

If you really want a guy to 'suck, suck, & suck some more' you should probably visit SF.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

We disagree on McCown's abilities.

You compared them to Gannon's and I simply pointed out that Gannon was a career journeyman and backup until he was about 35. Do you really want to give Josh that much time?

You guys can wait around until 2012 to see if McCown finally flourishes, but I'll make the smart bet and say he never does.

Because these guys are more than just football players, they are great guys if you get the chance to meet them. Also they do a lot for our community and local charities.

And this from a moderator....tsk tsk.

No Josh is not the answer in Oakland if they let go of Collins. They have Andrew Walter waiting in the wings. He has the big arm that Al Davis loves, and is very smart unlike Jake. Even though I love Jake, Andrew is going to be head and shoulders above jake as a NFL QB. Josh is really a great back-up, like this kd from the Titians. He should realize that and strive to be the best back-up the Cardianls have ever had in the teams history. But visions of the next level always seems to entice the young, and more power to them. But all in all the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence as one may think.

The only thing he contributed was 9 of the 11 wins the Cards have had in the last two years. Never talked negative about the coaches or management or other starting QBs. Was always a team player. But your right he didn't give them anything...

Good for him. Now wish him the best of luck cause he won't be a Cardinal much longer.

Good point, Bobcat!

"McCown has played well for a bad Arizona team the last two seasons..."

The implication is that on a better team, he would be better ----- overlooking the unforntuate fact that the Raiders have been worse the past two years than the Cardinals.

Ugh! This B.S. again for ANOTHER offseason.

The standard quote for every Cardinals Free Agent" [insert name] played on a terrible Cardinals team for [enter number of years]. With some talent around him he will be great.

YEAH! ... RIGHT! Cause it was the team over throwing the receiver by 3 feet.

But whatever! At least we get to see Jake vs. Josh 2 times are year.

 

[BigRedFan]

I think he is among the better of a bad group of free agent QBs. However, he hasnt shown enough to me that he is starter material for the long term. He is an ideal backup level QB.

 

[golfcardfan]

You guys remember Josh is a young guy still right? I mean another year under Warner you have no idea what we could have. Josh has all the physical capabilities you want in a QB just needs the brains. Kurt seemed to have tremendously helped McCown I for one would like to see him stay and continue to learn from warner and in the future compete for starting job.

 

[Faithful]

It has long been my opinion that McCown's career will mirror that of Rich Gannon. Within a year or two, he will grab a starting job and perform well.

Thanks you!

another josh will be great thread. how original

 

[SunCityCarl]

Last night 3/1/2006 Jude LaCava on Fox 10 here in Phoenix reported Josh is getting looks from the Miami Dolphins & the New York Jets...

 

[JeffGollin]

Two words - Kyle Vandenbosch.

Young players develop along differing curves (KVB's progress being hampered by injuries) and McCown hadn't moved along his curve fast enough so that he could be depended on to be our starter.

Teams can't always afford to wait. They have to move on. And when this happens, a QB like McCown will often continue to move along his development curve to succeed somewhere else.

There are 3 variables that all must be in synch - Talent, Team Need and Player's Current Value. When they (fairly or unfairly) get out of whack, you either wind up with an unhappy player, an unhappy team or a divorce. It's a fact of life in the NFL that teams spend all that time and money developing their talent only to have them fly away like a bird.

If Josh lands in Oakland, I wish him the best. He'll be operating within the context of a high powered offense with Randy Moss to throw to and Jordan to hand off to. Only downside - If Al Davis hands over the keys to Josh, he'd better produce right away or he'll be gone.

DA BEARS... make sense since Orton SUCKS and no one else can stay healthy!

 

[Diamondback Jay]

Although this isn't saying much, McCown would easily be the best QB Miami has had since Marino retired.

In all honesty, I do hope wherever he winds up, he's successful. He seems like a truly good guy, and has some intangibles to be a pretty solid NFL QB. He really needs to develop some consistency though. One game, he'll look like the Second Coming of Dan Marino in one game, and the Second Coming of Dan McGwire in the next.

If he can put ANY kind of consistency together, and a team is willing to wait it out with him, he could be the next Hasselbeck/Delholme (sic).

Now if only he can play the 49ers in Mexico every week....

 

[Diamondback Jay]

He probably offered a complimentary water to the 49er secondary before the game

Thanks J.C. I forgot about Da Bears!
