AJ McCarron?

[RunKC]

Should he declare, which seems like a very big possibility, would you be interested?

He's got 18 TD's to 0 INT's this year and is 6'4" 215.

Here's his stat line.

CAREER STATS
SEASON CMP ATT YDS CMP% YPA LNG TD INT SACK RAT
2012 122 177 1684 68.9 9.51 85 18 0 16 182.4

Would need to see him play. But those stats atleast seem fairly good.

Late rounder...

I wouldn't agree with that at all. He seems pretty accurate to me, in command of the huddle, and have yet to see him curl up in the fetal position.

[RunKC]

He will have the most prototypical QB body of the first round QB's if he declares, unless Bray declares (which is seriously doubt he will). He's got the height and he'll probably be 220 by the combine.

Kid looks good.

After seeing Cassel the last few years I don't know that any of us are in a position to evaluate a quarterback. The act of going fetal at the first sign of pressure is actually not common.

[chiefzilla1501]

Don't know anything about him, except that if he's brought in, he should be the 2nd QB we take in the draft.

[Saccopoo]

Hard to say.

He's playing behind a very good NFL level offensive line. (Three of those guys could be first rounders in the 2013 draft.) His TE will be a good pro.

He's also got an NFL level defense to cover any mistakes.

Hard to say with him. He doesn't jump off the page in terms of anything he does on the field.

Mid-to late rounder at this point.

Yea but geno smith has the best wide recievers in college and that's not stopping chiefs fans from tagging him as an Rogers RGIII hybrid, which is laughable.

He plays for USC now???

[themanwithnoname]

I'd be leery due to USC QB syndrome. In this instance, there's even less sizzle to go with it as he hasn't exactly lit things on fire stat wise. He benefits from helming a powerhouse team and so you don't know what to make of it.

I think he'd be a good guy to take like Washington did with Cousins as a developmental/backup type of guy. While our QB situation is bad enough to warrant doing that, we've already got Stanzi for that role. I'd be indifferent to dumping him, but keep him and go get an ok veteran might be the better decision (just you know don't **** up and have Brodie Croyle level guy to be your QBotF). Actually he strikes me as a really good game manager so I think he'd be especially good at being developed for that.

If he turns out to be pretty damn good then trade him away to a QB-needy team for a 1st rounder or something.

It's hard to tell with any Bama QB in Saban's system because they are told to be game managers and to not screw up. They don't throw the ball all over the field nor do they ever have to.

These comments, made by several people, are stupid, IMO. You can discount a QB because you don't like his mechanics, arm strength, accuracy, decision making, etc, etc. Dissing him because of the school he went to is idiotic. I guess the Colts shouldn't have drafted Peyton Manning because Heath Shuler was a bust?

I love how you call those comments stupid while basically saying exactly the reason why we said them. Game manager on a powerhouse team, yeah, nothing questionable about that.

Its not the school its the situation. Certain schools just happen to regularly have that situation though. Do you follow?

We can do a Washington type scenario where they drafted the franchise (RGIII) in round 1 and a solid backup in case the franchise fails in the later rounds (Cousins). Right now we have no solid starter or backup. We need both and Stanzi is not looking like a capable backup or starter at this point.

Yeah that's my thinking.
