The issue here isn't what the Bengals think about AJ McCarron; it's what the rest of the league thinks about him.
Let's get real for a minute, shall we? I happen to think AJ could be a special player but this is based mostly on his college play, not on his professional statistics which aren't all that impressive. Here's the thing: Watching film on AJ McCarron shows inconsistency because for every beautiful throw he made to AJ Green, there's an equally bad throw like the pick he threw to William Gay. I would assume the bad throws would diminish with more playing experience but that wasn't the case with Carson Palmer. I loved to watch Carson zing that ball but he zinged it a lot to Ed Reed.
Back to AJ. He's a fighter and he's a leader, that's for sure. But, if you were a general manager, would you turn your team over to him?
