And maybe, just maybe McCarron gets a shot during the season this year to show us what he can do. Another Cleveland game and we could see just that. The clock is ticking on Lewis' legacy as a HC and I'm thinking the leash on Dalton has gotten significantly shorter.

You act like Dalton is a bum QB. Dalton has a couple of bad games a year, but what QB doesn't have those that's not elite? Dalton didn't get drafted to the best team, or even close to it. The Bengals were a pretty bad team a few years ago, but Dalton turned it around. We lost our top 2 WRs and Benson was on the decline in 2011. 2013 was the first year Dalton had legit weapons, and he looked really good that year. Last year the only 2 offensive skilled players who started every game was Dalton, and Sanu. The defense didn't play that great either, but we still managed 10 wins (should have been 11). You can't do that unless the QB was doing something right.
