not the same at all. McCarron will have a chance to start in the NFL at some point, his small sample size in 2015 of actual game action proves that. Murray will be out of the league sooner than later

I'm more than convinced that the path these undrafted/late round QBs go through often isn't a matter of merit. Yeah, sometimes it is, but only in the case that we expose QBs who simply "never were."
How else can backup QBs look great in action with teams and then super shitty when traded and handed a real job? Why is AJ Feeley winning games and even putting up an occasional 300 yard game in Philly yet struggling like shit with the Dolphins? Matt Cassel is hardly good, but if he's so bad, surely he would be able to **** up the Patriots system and Randy Moss back in 2008. But he didn't. And how did he even come that far?
If Kurt Warner tossed rainbows and raped in his very first year as a starting QB in 1999, why the hell is that kind of play not visible to talent scouts and coaches in the offseason? Why did it take him so long to come up to speed with the Rams? If Trent Green doesn't get cheap shotted by Rodney Harrison, and has a fairly successful and consistent career in St. Louis, does Warner even get discovered?
McCarron played backup-level football. And honestly, I think Murray could have done an equal job as Foles and perhaps even Daniel had we ever depended on him to start a game. Does that make him a good QB? Not at all, but if he does produce those starts the way McCarron was relied on, all of a sudden the Chiefs have a thing to be sold for picks and perhaps even talked about as a challenger for the future of the starting QB position instead of a punchline on fan forums.
And I'm in no way defending Murray. All I'm doing is saying McCarron needs to ****ing prove he has more than his backup stint in 2015 to call him this thing that's way more valuable than the other QB gambles we take in the late rounds of the draft.
