Are we driving McCarrons price up/down?

For now, you have to roll with Dalton. He has a proven track record and gives us our best chance to win. If a couple of more games go by and he's still sitting on a 40ish QBR, it's probably time to make a move. I think the Bengals have already driven McCarron's value into the ground. The time to trade him was after the 2015 playoff game. Right now, it's simply wait out the clock.

The Bengals are playing a game that McCarron is a RFA after this season. If the league doesn't agree and allows him to become an UFA, we'll lose him for nothing. Unless McCarron becomes the starter moving forward, the Bengals played this as wrong as they possibly could've, which is no surprise at all.
