Dalton rarely gets injured. When he did get a freak injury, Mccarron did a decent job filling in but lets be honest, we weren't going to the Super Bowl with him. The same way the Steelers weren't going to the Super Bowl with Landry Jones. 

Why not get a decent trade pick so you can get a guy that can help your team RIGHT NOW and fill in ACTUAL holes on your team rather than over valuing a freaking backup QB who statistic probability shows wont even play a snap this season.

Plus, the odds of us taking someone in the second that's going to go play in front of all the other 1-3 round picks the last few years that are seeing sparse playing time isn't high.

Had he led a single scoring drive in the first 3 qtrs then a FG wouldn't have won that game for Pittsburgh. He did next to nothing in that game. If anyone practically won that game it was Burfict.

Teams really don't do much until then.  I'm also not sure what the cap ramifications would be if he is dealt before then.

I'm not expecting him to get traded until teams do their due diligence on this year's QB crop.  

So, long story short, I'm not upset or surprised that he hasn't been moved yet.

He single handedly swung the momentum of the game in the 4th after playing great the entire game. He got called for a personal foul at a bad time, but that does not come close to being the reason the Bengals lost. 

I feel like people need to go back and rewatch that game from a less emotional place because the ending has clearly distorted the reality of what happened. Or maybe some of these people didn't even watch and are just going by the stories they've seen on espn

Offense scores 2 TDs the whole game vs one of the worst defenses. QB turns it over twice, fumbles 3 times, and has a rating of 68.

People credit the QB for "almost winning".

Had Mac led the offense to even 19 points, we would've won. 19 points isn't much to ask. But he's somehow a hero for scoring 16 points? Ok.
