    Why not kick the tires on AJ McCarron?

    He took over for the injured Dalton for the last 3 games 2015 with a 97.1 qb rating. CIN will have a fistful of comp picks this draft with the loss of Marvin Jones, Mohamed Sanu and safety Reggie Nelson. A nd comp picks ca n now be traded..

    A 2018 #2 or #3 should do the trick.

    We are all crabbing about this year's poor qb class, so why not work a deal?

    Is the goal to win a Super Bowl or keep our head above water?

      So Cincinnati is going to trade us a compensatory pick to take AJ off their hands? Huh?

          Why not kick the tires on AJ McCarron?
          Because Landry Jones is better and wouldn't cost the Bills a draft pick?

                I like McCarron and if Tyrod is gone would definitely consider it. Don't want to give up too many picks, though, and I'd certainly consider Landry Jones also.

                    Why the hell do people want Landry Jones? Every time he played Pitt didn't look like they ever had any chance. He wasn't even that good in college!

                    I feel similar about McCarron but I also see more upside and a gunslinger approach

                      Re: Why not kick the tires on AJ McCarron?

                      I've watched him play in college and the pros and I don't see the fascination some have with McCarron. Pros: good game manager, fairly accurate, pretty good leader. Cons: Not a very strong arm, not mobile. He's a guy that in a best case scenario becomes an average starter, will never be a franchise player. If you put McCarron's skill set together with Taylor you'd have something but each by himself is just kind of...meh, not good enough as starters, as backups excellent.

                      I know I beat this horse to death but I'm so so so not interested in a QB like that. I could care less if this team wins 5 vs 9 games, that's NFL purgatory. Give me a guy under center with the upside to win a SB. If not, I don't want to waste picks on him.

                        I don't see any point in throwing more picks out the window. We need more of them not less.

                          Landry Jones sucked in big games at Oklahoma. Can't stand him. 27 and has won 1 game in his career. He beat the Browns.

                            You might as well take a flyer on someone in this year's draft or wait until next year.

                              Yes he did, but nobody is exactly saying he's the answer either. Especially if Tyrod doesn't come back, unless the strategy is going to go draft only (big mistake, IMO) than somebody from outside needs to be brought in to compete and given an opportunity, and I would give that opportunity to Jones over others such as Hoyer, Glennon, Barkley, Mallett, etc. I'd consider Foles also.
