QB option nobody is talking about...

[supafreak84]

Derek Carr would be another interesting name you could bring in short term without giving up completely on McCarthy. The problem is, if Carr starts (presumably) and JJ sits the bench as the backup all year, you'd essentially have three years of incomplete data on McCarthy on a four year rookie deal where you'd need to decide sooner rather than later on picking up his 5th year option. Not ideal, and any advantage to building on a rookie quarterback contract goes out the door in the last gasp of the Kwesi building blueprint.

Pull Stroud's stats (I didn't watch the Texans). He's no better then JJM. He's just got more experience.

Levis or A. Richardson

A real competition for JJM to win or lose. He hasn't nailed down anything yet
