I still haven't had a chance to watch much of the replay from the game, but apparently AJ McCarron is making some noise.
Here are five highlights from the game on CincyJungle and even they acknowledge that there's no controversy, but it's good to see them talking him up.
He had a nice deep ball to Marvin Jones and a nice pass to Eifert, which you know I'm excited about utilizing him.
Like I said, no controversy, but it's good to know that we have insurance and possible future trade potential.

It was the best piece of offense, I have seen in a long time from the Bengals. I am not joking, I am serious... I love how the team reacted when he was in in the game the 1's. Week 3-4 if we are struggling with Andy, you will hear chants of AJ McCarron at Paul Brown Stadium. Guaranteed.

If we go 2-2 I'm sure you'll hear it too. It'll take at least a 3-1 start for that not to happen.

No need to create a controversy. Isn't it just comforting to know that we have a capable backup, in case of injury?

Well since you advertised 5 highlights and there are only 4 in the article I'll help you out.
The clip cuts off but this was a good pass that just went through the receivers hands. This could have been his best play of the night just avoiding pressure.

I hope they put AJMc in during the Oakland game. Hopefully for mop-up. But if AD struggles, I want AJMc to get a shot. The players seem to react well to him.

He needs more pocket awareness, I've heard.

I feel like he has more than dalton... Dalton has horrible pocket awareness. Id like to give dalton one season shot and then decide his fate tho.

I counted 4.
But he was very exciting during that game.
His biggest strikes were lack of arm strength and lack of mobility.
I think he, at the very least, proved that his arm isn't as weak as people think it is; especially with that 40 yard bomb to Jones.
As for his lack of mobility...he's working on it. I saw him move around in the pocket a little, escape a little pressure. He was under pressure all freaking night and still had a very nice game.
So I think he's improving on his biggest weaknesses, which is a nice thing to see out of a young QB.

Agreed.....his arm certainly looked better than it did at Tampa....

You'll hear those chants if the team goes 16-0.

There is no controversy..........until Dalton has one of those games where he plays like an elementary school QB throwing to the opposing team more than our Wideouts.

He threw that bomb to Marvin Jones 2x :)
First time it got called back for holding, then they hooked up again later for that TD.
I was happy to see the nice zip on it for that distance. He's definitely looking like a fire cracker.

Using history as a guide, Bad Andy will show up. As soon as Bad Andy shows up, there will be a controversy. You have all these guys on the team talking up AJ and then he goes out there and plays well, improving from one week to the next, directing the 1's. If he plays well again this week, regardless of the meaningless-ness of the game, it will further percolate, especially among the Dalton haters.
There will be a controversy this year.

Heck, there's been people call for Gradkowski, Josh Johnson and Jason Campbell over the years.
The calls for McCarron are going to be intense. At least McCarron has some potential, unlike the previous backups.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.

Macaroni has some potential but I wouldn't get my hopes up. For how critical I am of Dalton, I understand that it is very difficult drafting a 5th round QB and turning him into a serviceable starter. Chances are our QB of the future isn't on this roster currently.
