SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Texans sign QB McCarron to back up Watson HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans on Tuesday signed AJ McCarron to be the team's backup quarterback behind Deshaun Watson. The deal is for one year and $3 million, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, confirming an NFL Network report. I didn't see a signing thread so.... 3 1

SouthNYfan Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 I was thinking about backups. I actually kind of panicked thinking we still had peterpick. I have PTSD (Peterman traumatic stress disorder) I then remembered he's gone, and will eventually be starting for the raiders because gruden loves him. Then I laughed. 7
YoloinOhio Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Good for AJ. Keep collecting that paycheck. He will never be a starter imo but he seems like a good guy. 15

947 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Let's not kid ourselves, McCarron is a solid QB2. He somehow lost out to Peterman, but that was vs preseason competition. If McCarron hadn't gotten hurt & started the season, we'd probably have won more games. That means no top-10 pick, and Allen may not have even played. We're in a much better place today because of Peterman winning that job. 2
chris heff Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 It always amazes me that there is not 32 people on the planet that can competently play QB in the NFL.

Only so many guys have the physical tools. Less have the required ability to process info quickly while 260-300lb dudes are coming after you. And even less have the leadership the position requires. It is probably the hardest position to play in any sport. 3

We're in a much better place today because of Peterman winning that job. That's a funny way to look at it but I don't think McCarron would have played very well behind that crappy OL and with that group of receivers. That said, I'm really glad Allen got to play as much as he did. Isn't McCarron's wife from Texas? She's the most interesting part of his story anyway...

I'm not sure - the offense we had built was around 50/50 balls, backshoulders, and running. It didn't work. It was horrible. We couldn't beat man coverage. It was especially horrible with a rookie QB and a bad o-line. By the end of the year, we added speed and vertical threats - went back to some rhythm passing (which allen still struggles with), and completely abandoned the offense in the first 8-10 weeks of the year.

I liked signing him better than paying 20M for 4 games of Sam Bradford Cards basically gave up Ty Matheau for Sam Bradford for a month 1

Peterman, I’m assuming, was maybe more on time and accurate in practice... obviously then turns to a pumpkin in live action
StHustle Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Cases like this is exactly why the NFL settled with Kaepernick. No way you can argue AJ makes more sense to backup Watson than Kaep...Instead...AJ gets the job with Kaep not even getting a workout. Aguy who has never been arrested or even accused of breaking the law. Glad he got paid. 1 2

JimKellyTryouts Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 AJ showed with Cincinnati that he can manage a team that's strongly built around him very well, definiteyl an upgrade from Brandon Weeden at the very least 1
