    The prediction articles are written for entertainment. The well-thought out ones are fun to read even if they won't come true.

    Career backup wants a starter money? That's a good way to get no response from anybody.

    His appeal was he has a very hot wife. They showed her more in the stands at Alabama games than him.

    Supposedly Denver is going to go after McCarron now that has become an UFA. I just hope Mac isn't dumb enough to go after that guy...

    I guarantee at least one scout wrote that McCarron is a winner because his wife is hot.

    hell no... maybe if it was another year in the past... but now? no.

    We have the cap space to sign a proven QB now and a good enough draft position to pick a good QB..nows not the time to dick around, could cost mac his job.

    Will be very disappointed if we go in to training camp without either Kirk Cousins, Baker Mayfield, Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold, or even Lamar Jackson.

    When you're bouncing back n forth between two loser franchises like the Bungles and possibly the Browns that tells you all you need to know about this guy. No one is signing this guy as their next franchise (or hell even starting) QB. He'll get a prove it type deal to see if he's a viable starting option. Fool's gold. Pass.

    While I'd much rather give McCarron a deal than Bradford, Bridgewater or Taylor, I don't think the Jets will have any interest, or vice versa. I think he's destined for Cleveland, which I also don't think will effect them from going with Allen, Rosen or Darnold at 1 or 4. I think they'll do both and if they don't, well, that opens the door for another team to move up an get one of those guys. Perhaps us if Cousins lands in Arizona, Minnesota or Denver.

    I agree, I can see Cleveland signing McCaron then taking Barkley with 1 and either another QB or LT with 4 because Cleveland:confused:

    I don't think Denver is looking to blow it's entire cap on Cousins and that's why McCarron is being considered. I could see them signing McCarron, drafting Falk in the second maybe and keeping Semien. Trading/releasing Lynch, Osweiller. But that's all speculation of course

    This may give the Browns the opportunity to draft Allen now if the rumors are true that they love him.

    AJ making it to FA this offseason is good for the QB needy teams. Someone is going to take the chance that his good showings in limited playing time means he's someone that can play at this level. I think that if the Jets do take a run at him we do it with the same mentality that the bears did last year. Sure we got a FA QB but that should by no means keep us from going after a QB in the draft. He's a mid level FA QB at best. Younger and with more upside than our recent FA signings, but by no means a sure fire long term fix.

    Browns would most definitely sign him to start. Jets could be in play, but it wouldn't be the right move for us when a proven commodity such as Cousins is out there for the taking.

    Jets need to sign Cousins, or draft a QB (due to age). No sense in signing a 28 year old QB who hasn't started worth a lick.

    It gives qb needy teams before the draft a plan b /plan c should they miss out on acquiring Cousins, Foles, Bridgewater, Bradford, or Keenum. Signing AJ McCarron is akin to going for the butter face with big boobs who is buying your drinks. I would rather hold out for something else.

    Very fair to compare this to Glennon/Bears all over. Jets need to avoid that IMO.

    That would make me a happy man, because that means it's more likely Rosen falls to the Jets. I'm near positive Barkely will go top 4. That should mean either Rosen or Mayfield falls to the Jets, provided that Denver signs Cousins. Denver could very well try to trade the pick down if Barkley is no longer on the board. Honestly, I'm happy with any one of those top 3 QBs, but don't want Allen.

    I saw a mock draft with the Bills trading with Denver to take a QB ahead of the Jets, but that's the most absurd thing I've heard, because they would be moving all the way from the 21 to the 5. Granted they also have the 22, but that will still be an expensive trade up, so I can't see any way that happens. They would need to give up both firsts, multiple seconds and other future firsts to even consider that. They mortgaged their future on Sammy Watkins just a few years ago, I can't possibly see them doing this kind of thing again just to spite the Jets. I know the Bills seem to make moves based more on us than anything else, but that would be a terrible move on their part when they already have 2 first round picks.
