Jim,
Nice article!
We'll have to wait and see what happens. McCarron does have a lot of tape available on him from his time at Alabama where he won two national championships. But that has to be taken in a grain of salt in that he was surrounded by talent. His likely landing spots in a trade are teams which aren't that talent laden.
In the NFL, talent holes around a QB can prevent that QB's success. Dalton is a good QB but he could not overcome our piss poor O-line play. McCarron could be a success in this league in the right situation.
Teams like Cleveland and SF have vast gaping holes devoid of talent and I just don't see any QB having success with those teams until a quality team is put there.
It's not like every coach in the league is Bill Belichick, who can seemingly always make the sum of the parts play much better than their individual talents would indicate.
Then there are coaches who can't seem to obtain the native talent from a talented group of players and have success in the post season or even reach the post season is some cases.
Cleveland and SF change GMs, coaches and players like underwear and that never lets anyone build anything. In Cincinnati we seem to have the opposite problem. We hang on to people to a fault, which I'd like to point out is a fault, not a benefit.
