Lapham thinks Bengals should trade McCarron

McCarron filled in admirably, but I'm not sure I'd say a handful of games would make a 27 year old who was a 5th rounder equal to a 1st round rookie, even-steven and so on.  Even though McCarron is 20 years younger than some of the QBs teams are trotting out there, trading for him would be a "gotta win now or you lose your job" move compared to drafting a new QB.

Just my take on it.  Fans say they want to see young players and take chances, etc, but as soon as the losses start piling up they want the HC and GM (and the people that are in power to play the young guys and take chances) fired.  It's pretty much what the Jets did this year.
