The point being anyone that just arbitrarily says the Bengals are stupid for not trading AJ for a 2nd may not know what the hell they are talking about. Why did New England hold on to Jimmy G?

This is what I was saying is the one exception to not trading your back-up QB. Brady is nearing the end, even if he doesn't want to believe it, Father Time is undefeated and the Pats have found the guy they think will be the heir apparent. 

Does anyone here really believe that McCarron would do better under center here than Dalton or that Dalton is nearing the end and McCarron is being groomed to replace him? If that is your belief, okay so be it...I can see not wanting to trade him but this team is worse with McCarron under center than with Dalton.
