The point being anyone that just arbitrarily says the Bengals are stupid for not trading AJ for a 2nd may not know what the hell they are talking about. Why did New England hold on to Jimmy G? 

To answer that question would be more speculation.....but Tommy Terrific IS 40....how much longer can he go?  At that age, he could go down at any time, and the end draws nigh anyway.  Jimmy looked pretty good in relief, and maybe that is their plan going forward.  Only the Pats know for sure.

AJ got sacked against two of the better teams in the league quite frequently, as did Dalton in his early action.  After watching both play, it is my belief that McCarron would have taken at least 10-15 more sacks last season behind this line.  Dalton was sacked 7 times in week one alone, and has the second fastest release time in the league.  Again, purely speculation on my part, but using what I've seen from 14 and an admittedly short sample size from 5 as my basis.
