I expect the coaching changes to give Dalton a new lease on his Bengals life

Carr's career numbers are not any better than Dalton's, but Dalton's ceiling (best season) is higher.  Carr is also a fumble machine who has put the ball on the ground almost TWICE as often as Dalton over the last 5 years (45 to 23).  Carr has only one rushing TD in his five year career while Dalton has 11 over the same period.

So what exactly is the reason you would agree to trade Dalton for Carr?

Your point may "still stand", but it's taking a hell of a beating.

it's telling that you bring up Dalton's best year that happened 4 years ago and hasn't come close to those numbers since; yet Carr just put up a career best season and posted a QB rating Andy have only beaten once in his live and that was about a 1/2 decade ago.

You don't get to use the old "Andy has had it rougher" and I damn sure don't expect you to admit that Carr has actually had it rougher.  Dude put up a passer rating of over 93 while getting sacked 51 times. I've been told that's impossible.

The reasons are many: upside and age being among the tops and your "point that still stands" actually works against you as Carr is now on a team friendly contract when Andy will be hitting a contract year in 2 years.
