You'll never know the extent of Daltons injury until he is back practicing. You can't trust Marvin and Co. (or any coach in their position) to give you the truth right now. That's understandable. There's hope that Dalton will return for the playoffs, but it's still a long shot in reality.
I think we should accept the idea that Dalton is done for this season/post season, and enjoy playing with house money and see what we can do with no pressure.
No 2 injuries are the same. We don't know how big the fracture is to even compare to somebody else's injury, so there is no precedent.
If Marvin and Co. knew AD was out for the year they would have undoubtedly brought in another veteran QB. You simply wouldn't go with your 3rd string practice squad QB in a playoff game if McCarron got hurt.
