Yep that'll be an upgrade.

If we were to trade away that security I needs to be for a decent player not a crap shot in the draft.

At the end of this season, yes, I would.  I would give up McCarron for a significant (read:  no less than a high second rounder, and maybe a first rounder)  draft pick that could help this team for years to come compared to a QB that we all like a great deal, but know full well that they won't be able to sign as a backup once he becomes a FA.

And I don't view Davis as a crap shoot in the draft.  He is a very solid backup that is pretty similar to Dalton in terms of size and strengths.  He has a quick release and is accurate on short and intermediate throws.  I really like his determination.  I could see him (hopefully) holding a clipboard for Dalton for the next five years (after this season, obviously).
