If the Cincinnati Bengals 'wake up,' could AJ McCarron be their quarterback in 2016?

CullmanTide · Aug 30, 2015

AJ finished 12 of 17 for 149 yds and a touchdown.

Dalton is out of the game with a thumb injury. AJ will finish the game vs the Steelers. Let's see what AJ can do..

I want to see it again, but I think the receiver didn't help him any on that pick six. Should have been a stronger throw, but receiver could have worked back. Two TD's in first real action ain't bad.

Exactly. ..you see your qb is in trouble you just don't stand there and not move. Cooper would have came back and helped him out.

Sounds like Dalton is done for the season.Now is your time AJ.

Yep. 22-32 for 280 yds 2 TD's, 2 ints is not bad but he needs to eliminate the int's and he will be good to go.

Almost all of the QBs in the league right now needs to eliminate the Ints... One of the ints wasn't his fault...

I'm not going to be too harsh on him with his first real opportunity for real time action. There's a difference when you know it's all on you. Only then will we know if he has what it takes...

It's more on James Harrison about to kill AJ on that pick than anything. Yeah you could make the argument that the receiver didn't break hard but that was more good defense than anything.imo. He didn't play bad but he has a lot of work to do. I hope he does good.

Reports are that Dalton is done. This is AJ's team now, let's see what he can do.

Brady in for Bledsoe comes to mind, as does Plunkett for Pastorini and Warner for Green.

DzynKingRTR · Dec 13, 2015

This week he will get all the reps with the first team, so next week should be better.

TNElephantitis · Dec 13, 2015

Apparently AJ is taking heat on twitter because he said this was how Brady got his start. People need to calm the heck down since that is how Brady got his start. In no way is he saying he is the next Tom Brady

AJ still hasn't learned that it is best to keep quiet and let your playing do the talking. I doubt he meant to insinuate he was like Brady but why given people the ammunition?

I don't see nothing wrong with what he said... I thought he gave a great example. Folks need to stop getting upset over little thing

If you are referring to his Tom Brady comment, then I agree that it wasn't bad. But if you are referring to his comments last year, and his pre draft talk then I say anyone that takes issue with those have a legit reason.

Hopefully AJ cuts down on the INT's. However, as a Steelers fan, I have no issue if they go 0-3 to finish the season...

Me too. I'm a life time steelers fan so I hope the bengals lose out, but I wouldn't mind AJ to get some quality reps and looks from teams.

AJ and Phillip Sims on the same team again?

If the Cincinnati Bengals 'wake up,' could AJ McCarron be their quarterback in 2016?
