I don't think if we tried McCarron a few games that many on here would squeal. Shoot I'd like to see what he can do during the regular season myself.
There are problems if -- McCarron looks average or McCarron looks bad.
Dalton looks average too. You really didn't gain anything. Now you have an upside down situation. We could let Dalton go though, so there is the $$$ issue to get better folks around McCarron.
If McCarron looks bad -- but perhaps with real game reps he could grow, then you have a QB controversy (a la Cleveland). Then we have to throw the whole team into the spin cycle and go 6-10 or 7-9 a couple years.
If McCarron looks great and we keep winning, you made the right call. That's pretty rare in the NFL that you start a rookie and the team doesn't miss a beat. Not to mention that I doubt rookie QBs in the playoffs have a very good record.
Meh. I understand why they keep Dalton. He's the devil they know.

To each his own... unless you belong to a political party...
