At this point, us and the Bengals know what we have in Dalton. Andy has reached his potential and his ceiling is somewhere between below average (when he has a bad offensive line and offense) to above average (when everything on the offense is perfect).
So, why not start McCarron and see what you have in the guy? See if hes the answer at quarterback and see if hes an upgrade over Dalton. The season is all but over (no way this team is good enough to make the playoffs).
I wouldn't start him....I would hope he remains a restricted free agent so a 1st or 2nd round tender can be placed on him and we get a 1st or a 2nd round draft pick for him. ...Of course this blows up of he gets injured.....So I justify him never leaving the bench to get the draft pick. ...I would add that at 3-5, our seasons dead in the water....and also the O Line will be just as awful for McCarron as for Dalton. There is no blocking. The best quarterback ever couldn't win with this O Line.
No, 2017 is a lost cause, and lets keep McCarron nice and healthy to get a good draft pick, because after 2016 and 2017, Yes, this is rebuilding mode now. We need to draft heavy in blockers. We have no blocking. I would draft any and all 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks on blocking to start building an O Line because ours is just awful. One pick won't cut it. We really need 5 new guys across the board because our 5 stink. The people that drafted these guys need FIRED and nothing to do with the 2018 draft. Both these tackles they drafted, Fisher and Og are just awful. Everybody involved in drafting them should be FIRED.
