In a world where AJ McCarron can be traded for a second round pick after 3 starts in 2 years, what is Kirk Cousins worth? A 1st and a 2nd?

Somebody offered the #Bengals a 2nd-rd pick for AJ McCarron according to @AlbertBreer. Questions: (1) Why do that? (2) Why turn that down?

I'm guessing the differences in their contract situations has something to do with the simularities in their trade values.

dont be fooled old AJ will cost you 20 mil a year

I just wish someone would give him a chance as a starter. Always felt like he was better than people gave him credit for, but always got shit for saying it.

Got to wonder why some people would be OK with paying AJ $20M a year for all of about 5 starts, yet Kirk is apparently not worth $24M a year after 40 starts for this team??

$20M/year and a 1st or 2nd round pick. All for a guy that, at best, might be as good as KC.

But in reality, there is no way AJ lands here. He, like KC, isn't the arm candy the FO is looking for.

it doesnt make sense on so many fronts . he has less experience then Kc had when you didnt want to pay him either 12 mil or 16 mil . he would cost you draft picks and that is what we would roll with ? or you could pay a guy we developed and reap the bennies ?

I sure as hell can't figure out what they are thinking.

Not sure how anyone can see a big deal in AJ. What has he done to give you confidence he is worth anything more that a back up? Now he might end up being an OK starter, but that's an awfully high price to pay to find out.

AJ McCarron dad? I thought your threads going forward were about this year's team, not the what if's. Plenty of time to talk about AJ in the off season if KC isn't our QB.

Now, if you want to talk about AJ's hot ass wife...i'm all ears, and eyes.

He's not HOF material, not very mobile, but he has a decent arm and he is usually smart with the ball.

hey i put it out there before it was lost to time

OK, maybe this will give you a different perspective. During one of the many Kirk Cousins threads, a question was raised concerning who to replace him with IN THE EVENT THAT Kirk was NO LONGER HERE. I cannot recall any other response beyond the one that I gave....A.J. McCarron who matches up well with Kirk in terms of stature, approach to the game and management skills. He also brings a more impressive pedigree than Kirk, having played in the tough SEC and National Championship games.. professionally, he's shown well when the opportunities were there and has NFL playoff experience. He's smart and protects the ball.

On the other side, the only arguments against that I've read anywhere are:

1. He can't start over Dalton (something that Kirk also couldn't do when the choice was that other guy)

2. He's NOT Kirk Cousins (a really silly argument considering the question)

3. He cost too much ( another silly argument considering that is exactly why the question ever came up)

4. OH YEAH.....The BIG one....HE'S NOT KIRK COUSINS

For the record, I still haven't taken the bait, just answering a very specific question on a subject that I'm very well informed about.

I'm not saying he isn't good. I'm just saying he's not as good as a lot of people think he is. People talking him up like he's the next coming of Tom Brady or something.

History is not on AJs side. Aside from Namath and Bart Starr, no Alabama QB has really seen much success in the NFL. Also not on his side is that he's backing up and having to learn from a team that doesn't have a really good QB to learn from. Another thing not on his side is that he has been in the league since 2014 and has only played in 2015. I don't know how we can value someone's worth on 3 starts, unless you are valuing him on his preseason play which isn't fair either way for him because he's playing with the 2nd string team who are obviously not as good as the first string team he's be playing with on Sundays. I don't get the hype, I don't get the want for the guy unless you are a team like the Jets or 49ers or someone like that.

I think my list read more like this:

1. Inability to beat incumbent starter

2. Less than a quarter of a years worth of starts, close to no experience.

Just for the record I would bet there are more top QBs if not QBs in general from the Big 10 compared to the SEC. I have brought this up many times. Lets just start with Brady and Brees.
