Matt Cassel and Josh McCown

Two QB'S that played well last year and are available in free agency. Cassel. 6'4" 228 lbs.He is a pocket passer with limited mobility.Has a great arm.He makes quick decisions and looks very efficient when his first read is correct.Not as calm as you would prefer in the pocket. Limited pocket presence beyond 3 seconds, he can feel phantom pressure and not good at keeping his focus down field. When the plays breaks down he has issues including a propensity to fumble the ball.Would be better off on a team with a very good OL and a quick strike based passing attack like the West Coast offense. He is the top choice if you are looking for a veteran traditional pocket passer. Most likely will be a backup as he is somewhat limited by his skill set. McCown. 6'4" 215 lbs.Good pocket presence and decisive when first read is correct. Very good at improvising when the play breaks down. Goes through his progressions very well while maneuvering in the pocket to avoid pressure. Very accurate with his throws. Able to fit the ball into tight windows. Has very good escapability and can pick up a first down with his feet. McCown I have rated as the no.1 free agent QB. Cassel is no.2 and there isn't really a no.3 that I would be interested in. McCown has the ability to step right in and start and be an instant upgrade for probably a dozen teams but he is not considered a long term solution because of his age. Therefore he will likely be looking at a few teams who want to sign him up to compete for the starting job. There would surely be a huge market for him as a backup as well, but he is likely to chase the money and go to the highest bidder and likely start this year. I think McCown is the perfect fit here. He can step right in and is a polished veteran. I believe that with the receivers we have now he would be very effective. Glennon needs to hit the weight room for about two years so I would sign McCown to a two year contract.

Who cares why it took him 13 years. He played like a top 10 QB last year. I'm not evaluating his entire career just last season. He was very good. The whole idea is that we don't want Glennon starting. I don't want to watch another disaster season. If either of these players can help us avoid that, I am on board.

The fact that it took him 13 years to play like a top 10 QB would suggest that 2013 was more luck than the start of a trend. The chances that he repeats are slim to none.
