The book is not written yet and the first chapter was ok. Could build on that foundation or stay that way throughout.
If many NFL scouts thought differently we would already have received a #1 pick for him.
Good kid and hope he does well, but we need help in other areas presently which makes a luxury of a back up QB expendable in my book. If not for all our holes I would say keep him forever.
I agree with this, but we also don't know what has or has not been offered for him. I also think it is grossly unfair to compare 2015 Dalton to the five games McCarron played in 2015. That was Dalton's fifth year as the starter, his fifth year getting all the first team reps. I hear people say "McCarron held onto the ball too long", "he didn't go through his progression as fast as Dalton"... obviously, because it was Dalton's fifth year as the starter. If he would have come into his first real game action as a pro and either matched or out performed our fifth year starter that would be a real problem and an indictment of Andy.
Personally, I think McCarron is going to be what Andy Dalton is... an above average NFL starting quarterback. Is he going to be a perennial All Pro, future Hall of Fame, record setting quarterback? No, but neither is Andy Dalton. I also think the Browns could be a good situation for a guy like McCarron, but according to reports over the last 24 hours they seem to be falling in love with Trubisky so we may never know.
