Depends on how long we're talking. If Dalton were hurt for an entire season, I didn't have any faith in McCarron to keep us winning for an entire season. After all, he did go 2-3 as a starter in a season where we were 10-2 with Dalton. His only wins came against terrible 49ers and Ravens teams led by Gabbert and Mallet.
If we're talking 3-4 games, I think Barkley can do a similar job to McCarron. In 6 starts, he led the Bears to 21+ points 4 times. With the Bengals defense, that'd be good enough to pull out a win a couple times and keep us afloat, assuming we're in it.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
