- AJ McCarron NOT playing much has actually had a POSITIVE impact on his trade value.
- You're both 100% correct in that teams will NOT just look at one season but, more or less, a whole career. Andy Dalton, as a whole, has been avg. to below average in passer rating, yards, TDs. Period. It's really simple. I'm agreeing with you guys. Based on Andy Dalton's entire body of work, nobody is giving 2 first rounders for him. He might not even get a 2nd and a 3rd like AJ was about to fetch because, again, the unknowns with AJ McCarron are actually helping there.
AD is older and much more expensive than McCarron and is coming off of two down seasons. Alex Smith is older still, but coming off of an EXCELLENT season and all the Chiefs got for him was a 3rd round pick and a borderline 1st round CB who was about to get cut.
Fred, Andy Dalton is the model for inconsistency. 17 TDs, then on pace for 30+, then 18 again, then 25. His other stats flow up and down on a wave as well.
The Browns and Hue Jackson would have drove down to Cincy and picked him up personally for this. That trade would have definitely went through
