How can you justify NOT starting AJ McCarron the rest of the season?

We are averaging 3.07 yards per carry. The 29th ranked team is averaging 3.48 per carry. 20 teams are averaging at least 4 per carry. As poor as we've been at running the ball over the last 12 years, that 3.07 average is by far the worst in team history. 

Not to beat our shitty rushing attack to death, but Jets QB Josh McCown has more rushing touchdowns than the entire Bengals offense (3 to 2). So we have no rushing attack and a bad OLine that allows free runners at our QB, however it's Dalton's fault for teams being able to drop everyone in coverage, blitz whenever they want, and not respect the running game.
