The number 2 vs number 5 thing is just annoying knowing that someone like Akili Smith was a first rounder. Did no one learn their lesson? Why not go grab Jamarcus Russell he was a 1st overall pick. Therefore he must be good, so if we could just invest like 5 good years in him maybe he'll turn around right?

I may seem to have a man crush on AJ, but so what? I've been watching him since his college days and I'm a fan because he had the football IQ that most QBs don't display in college. I admit I often watch the Pats and Broncos too just to see QBs that know what they are doing pick apart defenses. I think AJ is the best sleeper draft pick the Bengals have ever had and I'm not afraid to say it a little early. He was a college Payton Manning and soon the rest of Who Dey nation will be asking who dis? Just give it like 2 preseason games before the hype really starts.  

I am looking forward to seeing AJ play in preseason.  Until we actually see him play, all of our comments are just speculative.  I am hoping for Andy to succeed, but if AJ is a much better QB, then he could take the job next year.   It's all going to be a lot more clear after we see AJ play a few games.
