I'd rather take the draft pick than rent that for 2 more years. We could draft or sign a decent backup and I think our coaches did a good job of "managing" McCarron, so I'm confident they could do the same with someone else. It's not likely that Dalton will miss time anyway. That play was a major fluke.
We could draft or sign a decent backup....name some names. If they were decent, they would already have a job. And this year's draft is rather thin on NFL caliber quarterbacks. A bird in hand is worth more than 2 in the bush.
Winning makes believers of us all
