Im not sure how you can justify NOT trading Mccarron at this point

You did forget to mention the 2 INTs (including a pick 6). Maybe the passer rating was better, but Dalton has definitely played more than 1 better game against the Steelers. And again, we all saw how he looked when everyone was prepared. 

2. If McC hadn't played like utter dog crap for 3.5 quarters, we wouldn't have needed a "clutch" drive. That's the Tim Tebow definition of "clutch". The guy had an awful game...period, and no the weather wasn't horrible, and nobody would accept the excuse about a bad Dalton performance.

3. What Au165 said. If McCarron had even a decent season, he'd wind up being more expensive than Dalton, who is a fantastic bargain.

4. Apologies for assuming you are anti-Dalton. Anyone is technically replaceable, but Dalton is almost certainly a top 10 QB overall. People will always try to point out new guys that are better (Kaep and Bortles are recent examples) and many of those guys wind up being bad players over the long haul. 

Dalton is not as replaceable as you think, and I have a strong feeling that people would regret pining for McCarron if he's ever given a serious shot. McCarron is a 5th round pick who has done zilch other than being a famous college player with a hot wife. People just so badly want to believe that we have some miracle sitting the bench that they let it cloud their thinking.

You keep saying this but it doesnt make sense. Why does it have to be an anomaly? So they guy plays well against the Steelers and we are just going to discredit it because the Steelers "werent prepared for him"? Bull crap man. Mccarrons game is very similar to Dalton's. There wasn't anything the Steelers had to "prepare for". If anything, you should be crediting Mccarron for coming into that game off the bench and playing well, not discrediting him.
