Teddy is going top 5. Carr is going top 10. Manziel is going top 15. Hundley is going top 35. Boyd is going top 50. Mettenberger and McCarron are iffy. I see Mettenberger going late-2nd-to-mid-3rd. And McCarron has a chance to be in that same region. Teddy's going top 1. I don't think you're giving Mccarron enough credit, and Boyd going anywhere in the first two rounds is laughable. I wouldn't even touch him with a 3rd round pick though.

I've done some thinking over the last couple days, and I've really changed my attitude on AJ Mccarron. I think he'll be a very good pro QB. I have slammed him on here a couple times, saying that "he's a game manager and nothing more", but now I'm beginning to believe he's more than that. He plays a game manager role because Saban asks him to, Alabama isn't a team to go all pass-happy like that. I believe AJ would be very successful in a high-flying offense as well though.. He has pinpoint accuracy, very good pocket presence, always makes great decisions with the ball, and most importantly imo, he elevates his performance in big games/big situations. He seems like a pretty good leader as well imo. He never has to deal with pass rush. Ever. On the rare occasions he does, he struggles. He reminds me so much of Alex Smith.

Teams that need QBs in order of importance: Houston Jacksonville New York Jets Minnesota Tennessee Arizona I don't see any other teams taking a QB with the intention to start right away unless the Bears or Rams give up on their starters this year, or Peyton or Brady retire. But again, those are big hypotheticals. Unless McCarron is a top 6 QB, he won't go in the first two rounds. He's got to beat out either Bridgewater, Carr, Manziel, Hundley, Mettenberger, or Boyd. Unless Zach's injury is worse than we think, McCarron is behind those names and more. So he's probably a day 3 pick. Mettenberger tore his ACL. That's just about the worst injury you can have. I think I might take Mccarron over a healthy Mett anyways. Tajh Boyd sucks. 1.Teddy 2a. Carr 2b. Hundley 3. Mccarron 4. Manziel 5. Mett imo. McCarron over a healthy Mett? Is that you MO?

I think he is decent, and can do well in a situation like Alex Smith is in. Smith is succeeding because he isn't asked to do anything, and he doesn't take chances. If McCarron gets on a team like Bama - where he has a great defense, OLine, and RB, then sure he'll do good as a game manager.

Heck, if Mett put everything together, I'd put him at #2 behind Teddy. He COULD be that good, but he is still a work in progress imo. He made some good progression from 2012 to 2013 but I'd still like to see more.

I honestly believe Mccarron would be really successful in a pass-happy O like Baylor or Fresno State. Like I said a bit earlier, I don't think he's a game manager at all. That perception is just there because that is what Saban asks him to do, not because that is what he's limited to. It shouldn't be considered a negative that Mccarron has great players around him, because Bama doesn't carry AJ.

Alex Smith is only successful because of the system the Chiefs have, and the way Reid uses him. McCarron I think could only be successful in a similar situation.

I'm praying that the Eagles somehow land Hundley....Im loving Nicky Dynamite of course....but this league is qb driven and I doubt Vick stays And Barkley is very down on my shit list.
