1. When I said McCarron could be a starter "somewhere", I was talking about his long term future. You seem to agree that Andy is the guy here, so if he's going to be a long term starter, it's going to be elsewhere.
2. I've been around these boards for over 5 years and I have a great memory. Dalton has been getting ripped since his rookie season and it really intensified during his 2nd season. Whether you consider McC a rookie or a 2nd year player, Dalton was getting ripped on a consistent basis at the same point in his career. One of the first threads that really tore into Dalton was after he threw a couple INTs against the 49ers in his 3rd game.
3. I support all players that I feel help the Bengals win. Right now I think McC is one of those players. I think he's a fine backup option or starter for when Dalton goes down. He seems like a good guy off the field as well. In fact, I don't even think I've said anything negative about McCarron yet. I just find it interesting how differently he's treated. Dalton is held to a much stricter standard of success, and he always has been.
Agreed. And it's ridiculous that Dalton is held to the Tom Brady/Joe Montana standard.... And anything less = he sucks
