Broncos pursuing McCarron?

True, but what if we just need someone to hold serve for a few weeks until Dalton is back on the field?  The NFL's concussion protocol makes a starting QB missing a game or two a lot more likely now, so I wouldn't just assume Dalton missing time means missing the rest of the season.
