The difference between our title chances with McCarron and no title at all is so miniscule, the benefit of adding an additional first or second round pick is greater. Hence, you listen to trade offers.
This is the NFL. It's the most luck-dependent league in all major sports.
Normally, I agree with many of the Bengals decisions regarding player value and approach to acquiring draft picks, but they are crazy to value McCarron this high and be so closed-minded on dealing him.
The odds of mccarron being able to fill in a few reg season games if dalton gets a minor injury and helping the team win are better than someone new off the street or straight out of college.
Backups at every position are important.
