OT: Bengals QB AJ McCarron to be Unrestricted Free Agent

[NJCardFan]

And then there are backups that turned to crap, like clipboard jesus, Flynn, or our own Kevin Kolb. Not necessarily disagreeing with you on McCarron, but using guys like Warner or Favre isn't necessarily a solid argument. If the Cards choose to go after AJ, they should insist on a contract that they can get out of after the first year or 2.

My argument is no worse or better than McCarron sucks simply because he couldn't beat out Dalton. Also, Kolb could have been a decent QB if he wasn't made of glass. And since we're on the subject of Dalton, 2017 was his worst year as a pro and these are his numbers:

297 of 496 for 3,320 yards 25TD's 12 int's. 7-9

The Cards collection of stiffs were:

339 of 598 for 3,975 yards, 21 TD's 18 INT's 8-8

Dalton threw 13 more TD's than int's. We throw 3 more TD's than int's. If we had Dalton we'd be doing handsprings. The guy isn'y flashy but he's solid and has put up good numbers. The only knock on him is he's been crap in the playoffs.

That would be foolhardy because as of now the number of QB's on this team numbers zero. I do believe they will sign a vet and draft a QBOTF. It's just logical when you have no QB's on your roster. The only other option is to go full Eagles, draft a QBOTF, throw him to the wolves and have a veteran backup just in case.

I think the board will go crazy if they think the veteran(s) we sign are going to preclude us from drafting a QBOF, which is a fine distinction. If we, say, sign Bradford? While I won't be thrilled with him, I will be a little relieved, because no GM or coach in their right mind would think Bradford is 'the guy' for years to come. If we trade for Foles, then yes, I'll be upset.

kinda what I was thinking too... Foles has Keim written all over him....good QB that can start for us for five years or so... but if you got a guy who can start for five years then you draft Luke Faulk in the third... not Baker Mayfield in the first.

keep in mind I aint totally against us bringing in Foles...I advocated for him here on the board many times over the past few years...and we could possibly get 8 years out of the guy... it would just suck because I really want us to get a Cardinal QB...drafted here, played here, retired here...and get fifteen years out of the guy.

But Foles will come with a new contract as well...he will likely be cheaper than cousins, even being SB MVP...and Foles at $23mil is better than Cousins at $27mil.... but our cap is still screwed.

Can't imagine a scenario where Eagles/Howie trades Foles or lets him walk before midseason. Wentz is damaged. #1s ain't realistic either. 2nd rounder maybe.

If they're looking at a bridge QB, Bradford on a low risk, 'prove it' type contract would be a good option.

Bradford is made of Peanut brittle, it would have to be an hourly wage, with no compensation for injuries.

This board is going to be EXTREMELY upset when the Cardinals sign their veteran QB. I am sure of it.
