AJ McCarron Wins Grievance Against Bengals and Will Become Free Agent (Signs with Buffalo)

Re: AJ McCarron Wins Grievance Against Bengals and Will Become Free Agent

How could you get that from what I said??? I've explicitly said he has probably made mistakes.

If the guy never plays another down in the NFL it may/may not be his fault, but that won't diminish my general favorable impression of him and, to this point in history, I'll remember him as the greatest QB in Bama history, based on results.

If you don't like AJ (and I think that's what this is about) that's fine, but don't tell me I shouldn't like him too.

Yeah let’s go say that “I don’t like AJ” again after I say I don’t buy into the pumper crowd logic. I’ve said many times I hope he doesn’t stay an unsigned free agent whether that be a starter or a backup. I think you just have thin skin and just desperately want him to start.

Sorry my realism hurts your pumper pride.
 
Re: AJ McCarron Wins Grievance Against Bengals and Will Become Free Agent

just a bad year for a relatively inexperienced FA quarterback to hit the market.
and there are worse things in life than being paid a million dollars to simply be ready to go to work at any given time.

Don't get why you're so mad, bro. I apologize for saying you don't seem to like AJ.

I guess if what I've said about liking AJ and admitting he's made mistakes but hoping he gets a chance and is successful makes me a sunshine pumper, then so be it.

I'm bowing out of this discussion with you on this matter.

Not a bad gig. He needs to humble himself and take it. He could end up playing a few games if Brady deflates a few balls or gets hurt.

His opportunity to play and be successful may come quicker there than we think. IMO, Brady can't play but another year or two. He's the GOAT, but father time respects no man.

Brady probably doesn’t play until he’s 45 like he said he wanted to. I think Gisele has really been pushing him to quit sooner than later. figured it had he won the Super Bowl this year he what a retard there. I think this might be his last year arm perhaps next year. So if AJ went there he probably would have a good shot at starting for the patriots are at the very worst he would probably be traded like Jimmy G And get a starting role somewhere else

Steve Deberg played til he was 45. He became the oldest starter ever. While a decent player, he was not nearly as talented as Brady.

This is not entirely true - he retired in 1993, then came out of retirement in 1998 for Reeves. There was a 5 year gap.

Still doesn’t take away the fact that he started one game at the age of 44 and the Falcons won that game.

True, but you indicated that he played until that age. He missed 5 seasons of wear/tear. He might not have been able to play at 44 if he had played the intervening years. Not saying that he could not have done it, just that he didn't do it. If Brady plays starting QB through age 45, he will be the first.

Speaking of that. AJ finished at Bama with a relatively clean uni. He's taken virtually no hits the last several years. If he's taken care of himself and stayed in shape, which I think he has, he may be able to extend his playing years, if he ever gets on the field.

Without question - but the longer he sits on a shelf, the less likely he will get a chance to start. He needs to become a regular starter during his next contract or he will likely be a career backup (not that there is any shame in becoming a millionaire that way).

If he doesn’t get a starting job here then he really needs a backup job with a lot of exposure. Sitting behind Dalton did him no favors.

Exactly. And as a backup he is much more likely to retire with his knees and brain largely intact.

I think Jeff Rutledge had a pretty good career. :)

I don't think the physical element will be the only thing that will play into Brady retiring or not. His wife's opinion will more than likely be a key player in his decision as well. Happy wife, happy life.
