It's all speculative, but I think the best chance we have of winning in the next 2 years or so would be with Dalton staying healthy (as he usually does) and making use of a high-pick player that we get in exchange for AJ McCarron.
That seems more likely to me than AJ having to fill in for Dalton again and notching significant wins in his absence. Ideally, we got our use out of AJ so now we flip him for a higher pick, get a contributor for a QB who (in best cases) spends the entire season on the bench, and Hue and AJ beat the Steelers 2 times a year. AJ is walking in 2 years, so if it honestly comes down to getting a pick for him now or nothing for him in 2 years, I obviously want something NOW NOW NOW.
That's my take, but the Browns will probably go the Wentz/Goff and McCown route so it's moot.
This would be the ridiculously one sided deal I spoke of. I'd jump all over it. That said, it's a pretty good luxury to have a backup that doesn't send the team in a tailspin if he has to play.
