On Wednesday, the Buffalo Bills signed quarterback AJ McCarron to a two-year, $10 million deal with incentives to be a bridge quarterback, help the team’s inevitable rookie signal caller, and calm the waters at the quarterback position. For more insight on McCarron, we asked Rebecca Tobak, former site manager of SB Nation’s Cincinnati Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, and current SB Nation NFL Director, for her insights on McCarron’s time with the Bengals.
“AJ McCarron is a very good backup quarterback but he hasn’t shown enough to think he really is a starter, which is why I think he lasted as long as he did on the free agent market,” says Tobak.
