1. because Favre Rodgers had a hostile relationship, we tout the benefits of bridge by having someone the QB can learn from. Although if we're making the argument that competition, not comraderie is beneficial to young quarterbacks, by all means it's a good pairing. I don't think many most young quarterbacks want to be in that situation with a franchise legend though. 2. The next QB turned into the type a talent we would want here. I'm questioning the precedent for bridging quarterbacks because we keep mentioning it on here. A young guy like McCaron is hardly a bridge, he's be simply competition to a rook we bring in here. My position is to start the rook, and have a backup that is not PT5P. Probably pissed off Rich Gannon for his career resurgence.

that's solid research.

I really think the browns are stacked on offense. Add Barkley to the mix there as well.

So what

Cool WR WR WR WR

With all the negativity around Josh Allen I'm starting to think he's going to be a stud

We don't have skill position players other than shady

on that note that would be great. Imagine TB12 underthrowing Jordy's streak routes for pick 6s. This ain't 2007 Randy Moss and TB12.

he's not terrible. An upgrade to TT.

Phillip Rivers, and Kaepernick are my best examples. I find it hard to believe they were mentored though, quite the opposite. Though admittedly stiff competition provides development a la Steve Young, Joe Montana. haha I guess?

I find the narrative overused. Bridge QBs don't see themselves as bridges, they want the start and the contract, and have no interest in getting benched. Name me a situation where a bridge QB successfully passed the torch to a young QB. Favre and Rodgers certainly don't count. Use that relationship as your baseline.

Panthers fans are glad to see him go. Dareus had made both a significant impact and significant numbers, and we were glad to see him go.

nooooooooooooo McCarron barely has more starting experience than the rookie we draft.

Fair enough. I think our secondary is strong enough to build around for a one year turn around. We obviously need our quarterback. But I'm hoping that after we sign a king's ransom to move up from 12 we have enough picks and cap to get a complimentary player to KB.. not a KB clone, but a quick guy off the line, a jarvis Landry type (yuck), and an MLB. That's good enough for playoffs and at some point bulking up our D line would make us a contender.. really wish we had gotten Michael Bennett.. fills a perfect need and he was an absolute steal for the oggles. I think most of that could get done in the off-season, provided our quarterback doesn't bust. Reverse jinx right there TBD, always call the rook a bust, instead of jinxing and calling him the franchise ? And McDermott, you're great and all, but never pull that chargers move again. I was calling for your head at the time and am still holding that against your resume.. you did fantastic otherwise

Sounds like phillip rivers

I want a stud wr so bad. I want 2 stud wrs

Sit him for who? I'm starting whatever shiny new rookie QB we want, and I'll be frustrated if we're not..

feels like it's too easy. Did Bean make the other GMs in the league more stupid somehow?

2012 Falcons were 13-3, they had a good well coached team. wasn't like they were rebuilding in 2013. I'm just saying if we're 9-7, a little bit better than the 8-8 Falcons right? I find it's a narrative made after the fact. People say "oh well the Rams have always been good". when last year they'd say "Rams have one of the worst rosters in the league". I could cite that narrative for at least one team every. single. year. I get your argument. Agree to disagree.

I get a lot of flak for this but i think he will have a career year with Gordon and Jarvis. Browns will probably get Barkley but you have to imagine they pass play more than the bills

Falcons rebound from earlier. Teams have ebbs and flows. You don't think fans were griping about all the "holes" they had. Next year was a superbowl appearance.

teams do turn it around in one season. Happens every year.

Andy Dalton really makes aj green look good huh

Why do you want a bridge QB so bad. Recently either quarterbacks make it their rookie year or they don't. Bridging deshaun Watson was moronic. If a quarterback can't start in the NFL right away or gets discouraged at early failure than he never had IT to begin with. Sink or swim.

I'm a softie for Taylor I'm just trying to say i see nothing in an mccaron i haven't seen in half the backup QBs in the league
