What makes a backup QB trade happen

I think his name was Jackson or something.  Just what you need a QB that can't throw. Look, this isn't college.  We have McCarron who is a great back-up. Probably his last year here. If Dalton gets injured we will regret trading him.  He isn't costing much money to keep him one more year. 

Good article Jim,

I think this like Kevin. I don't see the organization letting McCarron go unless it is such a blockbuster deal, but we as fans even seen blockbuster deals go by. I see us doing the usual, keeping him again this season under center/backup for AD, then if something happens we don't have to answer all of those annoying 'what if' scenarios.
