There's 10 guys right there that I would take over McCarron right now.

McCarron is not like Tom Brady outside of "confidence" that you try to bring up. But even looking at numbers of how they started and such, McCarron is pretty pedestrian and doesn't even come close to the numbers that Brady posted.

How do I feel if McCarron takes over? Not all that great. I could see a few wins here and there, but he hasn't shown any clutch moments andin big games he only seems to do well for a certain time, not the whole game. Look at the Broncos game and the Steelers playoff game. Flashes at moments, but overall was lackluster. Haven't really seen him win a "must win".

Sure, some may argue the 49ers game because that got us to clinch a playoff spot, but even if they Bengals lose out last year, they're in the same exact spot in the playoffs. So ultimately, losing Dalton hurt this team more than some tend to think. Sure, McCarron beat Gabbert and the Ravens 4th string QB, but that's it. That's more of a testament to this team rather than the QB.

If anything, it reminded me of a 2014 playoff Bengals team. A defense that does well but the QB doesn't do much besides game manage. And we obviously don't need that.

You're forgetting these backups on your list IMO

Ryan Fitzpatrick
Caron Wentz (or Sam Bradford)
Nick Foles
Case Keenum
Matt Schaub

And the Bengals really didn't have that great of a defense in 2014. Burfict was hurt, Geno was hurt, we had no 2nd DE that could get to the passer. JJ Watt had more sacks than our whole team, and we were in the middle of the pack in points allowed.
