Bengals Turned Down 2nd Rounder

[Murdock2420]

I still don't understand the debate in this thread. I know there are people who believe McCarron is better than Dalton and should be given a chance to start, but that won't happen. Look at the history of this club and the coaches currently and you'll see that Dalton is going to be the guy.

There are people saying but "what if" Dalton gets hurt. Then the team is screwed with or without McCarron. Driskel...McCarron...doesn't matter. At that point you are bringing in a guy who hasn't been taking 1st team reps and has limited to no timing with the receivers and the team has to run a scaled down version of the playbook.

When (Not IF) when, McCarron leaves this team in FA, and his lawyers are fighting for it to be at the end of this year, the team gets nothing but a Comp pick that will be a later round like a 4th. Holding onto a luxury item for one more season to get a comp pick is just dumb, plain and simple. Look at pitt, they have garbage behind pig and win. Look at New Orleans, nothing behind Brees. Falcons, just in the Super Bowl, and behind Mat Ryan....nope...not a damn thing.

That 2nd rounder, could be an All-Pro, a starter, an instant impact...like...you know Joe Mixon has been. Would you trade McCarron for Mixon? Cause that is basically an easy way to look at this trade. Keeping a guy that is a luxury item instead of making a move to land another impact player....that's dumb.
