AJ McCarron can definitely become a star in the NFL. The only question is where. He has the physical tools, he's smart, he possesses excellent mechanics, and he has national championship experience in the spotlight -- so what's not to like?
Nothing.
While AJ is special, he's not in Andy Dalton's league and he won't be unless he gets some starting time. Now we know, barring injury, this won't happen in Cincinnati unless AJ has a great training camp and Andy starts channeling David Klingler. Still, the competition is healthy and I like to think AJ pushed Andy to greatness in 2015.
I'm torn. I love AJ and the security he brings to the Cincinnati roster. When Andy went down in 2015 the Bengals darn near advanced in the playoffs with AJ under center. But Andy is better! I also want to see AJ get his dream shot of bring the starting quarterback on an NFL roster but I don't want the Bengals to lose the best insurance policy in the entire NFL either.
