You can twist stats to say whatever you want.
Fact is, Dalton is our starter. McCarron is a backup. Hobson said they'd listen to offers if there was a 2nd round pick involved.
No one is offering a second round pick or a starter.
Of course, we could trade Dalton for two 1st round picks. Then we'd get two starters for the price of one. I think that should be our new campaign to the front office. Yes. Get two starters for the price of one. Makes total sense, if I were using the logic presented in this thread.

Adam Schefter reported that he could see teams making offers to the Bengals for McCarron.
Hobson said that the Bengals would not be interested in trading him unless it were for a 2nd round pick.
Quit. McCarron is a backup, not a starter or a team captain or a franchise player. You're reaching too much.

My franchise would have to be in dire straits for me to put up a first or second round pick for macaroni. As you said, he's a backup, albeit a good one by nfl standards, but still a backup nonetheless.
That being said, I'd be ecstatic if the front office was able to pull off a great trade for him.

I've not said he was a starter or team captain or anything other than a backup QB that happen to need.

Said it before and will say it again. Would trade McCarron for a second round pick in a second round pick.
Do not hate the kid at all but Dalton is the man in Cincinnati. This will only lead to McCarron walking away for nothing to become a starter as soon as he is a FA.
Really could use an extra pick with so many departures.

I know he hasn't played much, but I kinda like Matt Moore as a backup if someone actually bowls over Cincy for McCarron somehow. There isn't much out there though, so I'd rather have a rotational player than pay 3.5-4M for a backup.

Dalton got a freak injury. He has missed 3 games in 5 years. Lets not pretend Dalton is Sam Bradford or Tony Romo, out there getting hurt a lot. Dalton will be fine, and if he isn't, then they are probably doomed with McCarron under center anyway.
Sounds worthy of a 1st round pick.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

Even if the Bengals don't want to deal him, they would be stupid to not put it out there as "taking offers."
This is a Bengals FO that is obsessed with draft picks. If someone floats a top 50 pick out there for a backup QB who is going to leave in 2 years, you have to at least listen.

I say keep him, never know when Dalton could go down god forbid. Always good to have a backup plan.

Anyone can be a BAD back up QB.
We need a guy who can step in and win some games if andy goes down.

Yeah Jim and Paul just covered this in the latest BBP. Bengals are in the drivers seat.

I agree with that, and there's guys in free agency and the draft that can do that as well.
I just don't think trading McCarron would be as devastating as people are making it out to be.

Where it would be interesting to trade McCarron is if part of the plan is drafting another QB, developing them and then trading them. Both Green Bay and New England made out well on additional picks gained by being backup QB factories.
