My Coworker is CONVINCED

Cam is over a year younger than Dalton, but he's been more injury-prone.
He's also less accurate but he's much more productive as a runner.
While Cam has had more success in terms of win-loss percentage both in the regular season (55% vs 53%) and postseason, he'd had fewer actual wins in the regular season (68 vs 71).
Cam has actually been to a Super Bowl whereas Dalton hasn't won a playoff game.
The last part is that both Cam and Dalton are in the final year of their contracts, and Cam is about $3.5 mill more.

So is it worth taking on about $3.5 mill more in cap hit for someone who is more injury-prone but has been (somewhat) more productive overall in his career (especially in postseason)?

I'd say no, but I think a case could be made. If the Bengals were picking around the middle of the first round such that there wasn't much confidence in getting Burrow or Tagovailoa, I'd consider Cam as long as his ankle recovery checks out.
