Say AJ defeats the Bronco's, propelling us to our first championship.
Would/should the front office keep both QB's for next season?
What if AJ gets us to the SB, but loses?
AFCG?
If McCarron gets to the Super Bowl win or lose, then get draft picks for Dalton (minimum 2 first round draft picks). Then solidify the roster with the extra cap space money and draft picks. If no one bites, then keep Dalton and have a true QB competition in 2016.
If McCarron gets to the AFC Championship Game and loses, then try to trade McCarron for draft picks (minimum 1 first round draft pick). If no one bites, then keep McCarron and have a true QB competition in 2016.
Even if McCarron "only" wins a playoff game, the Bengals are playing with house money.
Also if McCarron is "Dilfer-ing" his way to wins and no one bites on McCarron for draft picks, then revert back to Dalton as the starter and McCarron as backup. Of course a QB competition should still occur.
