You hit the Nail on the Head with the word "Maybe".
"Maybe" is the Key to this whole conversation.
The Truth is that AJ McCarron has the odds stacked against him even becoming as Good as Andy Dalton has proven to be. Dalton is a proven Top 15 at worst NFL QB.
AJ has yet to prove that. He still may but he has an uphill climb to get to really proving he is on Dalton's level let alone Tom Brady's. You don't prove it in a handful of games.
If Andy Dalton and AJ both went up Publicly for a Trade the interest from teams for Dalton would be noticeably Higher than for AJ. I believe we got a 1st and 2nd rounder for Carson Palmer and that trade occurred in 2011. The QB market is more expensive now so Dalton could cost a team more than that. AJ McCarron appears to be in the 2nd round pick value range.
