Andy isn't an elite QB, but he's proven he's capable of winning games in the NFL. People talk about the big stage/prime time issues with him, but that's a problem that's been around with this franchise long before he took his first snap as a Bengal.
You're using logic.
IF Mike Brown wants to retain Lewis, he'll make a change somewhere to show the fanbase they're trying. With McCarron here...that could be one of the moves.
Mike Brown is ego invested in Marvin Lewis. Firing him would be admitting to having the wrong coach here all of these years. That's probably too much for the Bengals to admit.
Dalton is easy to get rid of. At his best he's an above average QB. If he were a good to great QB...it's harder. It's easy to point to an above average guy as being the issue.
Dalton is to QB's what Marvin is to Coaches. Above average but not great.
Now, replacing him will be harder.
