Also, the logic that "the sooner we get rid of Dalton, the sooner we can replace him with someone better" is also faulty. We haven't even seen McCarron in preseason or outside of training camp. This is his first time actually throwing to receivers.
Dalton is our best chance to win a playoff game this year, not McCarron. I've never seen a QB battle controversy turn out well in this age of the NFL. Didn't work out for the Browns last season, they were off better keeping Hoyer in. Were 1st in the AFC North and allowed hype for a QB to help derail a so far successful season at the time.
I think you misread his post.
He was saying that the people hoping McCarron is better than Andy will just go back to hoping someone comes in better than McCarron once he gets the starting job.
Until we have a consensus top 5 QB for many consecutive years, there will always be one portion of the fanbase complaining about whoever the QB happens to be at the time.
Until we have a consensus bottom 5 QB for many consecutive years, there will always be one portion of the fanbase making excuses and propping up whoever that QB happens to be at the time.
That seems to be the way things go with sports. Even if McCarron would get the starting job and turns out to be a good QB, a lot of the guys that have high hopes for him would be looking for the next great QB shortly after he was handed the keys.
