But if you go back and look at the original question I think you will agree that Dalton's performance at the end of the '14 season was not bad enough to get him benched.
He looked bad in the playoff games, but he had no receivers and threw zero interceptions.
And going back to game 12 (like you did) he only had two games with a passer rating under 80 despite playing the Steelers twice in addition to two top 8 pass defenses (Texans, Broncos).
That is not bad enough to get him benched.

This is a thread about AJ McCarron and the possibility of him becoming a starting QB. We are simply exploring that possibility here, given the fact that he plays for the Bengals. No harm, no foul really. There really is no right or wrong answer.
I think everyone here wants to improve our QB play. I don't think anyone would complain if McCarron outplayed Dalton. Most of the people who are accused of being "blind Dalton homers" are actually just Bengal fans. So they would also support McCarron if he was the starter. And on the other hand most of the people who are accused of being "Dalton haters" are actually just haters who would be ripping down McCarron if he didn't win the Super Bowl his first season as our starting QB.
