I don't think the Bengals would have risked this had McCarron been traded.
But toward the end of the season when there's a whole offseason to recover from something? Sure, not much harm in taking the risk. It's not like Driskel should be the favorite to back up Dalton anyway.
I fully expect the Bengals to get some mediocre vet backup or draft a QB to compete for QB2 duties with Driskel. If Driskel is healthy enough to compete and can win the backup battle, great. If not, so be it.

Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
