How can you justify NOT starting AJ McCarron the rest of the season?

So that is a potential harm.  Again there are a lot of unknowns.  He status for next year being one and it depends on his arbitration case.

I agree the Bengals season is a wash.  So as of now it seams there is no reason to risk the potential value AJ has by playing him on a team with a terrible o-line and very few offensive weapons.

Look at it this way.  Say you have a decent low mileage car you have not driven for over a year.  You think it is a good car but are unsure as you have not driven it in a while.  You have a good idea that some people will be willing to pay you for the car without test driving it.  However, you decide to take the car out for a drive the transmission fails or it gets hit by another car and wrecked and all those potential buyers find out about it. What happens to the value of that car?

You people over value draft picks. 

AJM was a draft pick at one point and you have no idea what you have in him. Who cares if we miss out on a second round pick. Im willing to make that gamble in order to find a reliable QB. Its not like we played out draft picks anyway.
