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.

i look at it a different way.. look what happen to teams like Dallas and Houston who had no viable backup QB..  the Bengals do have a viable QB option behind Dalton... you can;t assume Dalton stays healthy.. and if McCarron was so subpar there would be chance at a 2nd or 3rd round draft pick anyway
