If Dalton gets hurt it will hurt us regardless if McCarron is here.
Dude hasn't won a game against a winning team and only played okay when we did win, not like he set the world on fire.
I don't get this thought process, get something for the guy to help the team while he has value.

His first game against Cleveland he missed a quarter or 2.
Then the freak thumb injury while he was playing linebacker.
Are you really that afraid he is going to get injured that you don't want to improve our starters by trading a bench rider? We are picking at #9 and you want to keep a luxury. There are other capable backups out there we can sign but how many backups do teams look at as a starter?
Most definately.

And QB is the modt important position on the team. So the back up QB is much more important than back ups at other positions.
Look, if the Bengals get a second round pick for McCarron, I'd be fine with that. But I don't see the success of the team hanging on an extra second round pick, so I won't be upset if we do not trade him.
So what. McCarron isn't a starter. Get someone that might be eventually.
