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

AJ's looking pretty darn good tonight. Not sure if he plays like this if he will get a starting job, but he's definitely extending his time in the league.

Until Dalton does something in the post season, I don't see how the Bengals can make that move.

AJ is playing very well so far. Continuing to make plays to keep the chains moving.

I would guess they'll hang on to him until they either (a) part ways with AD and hand AM the keys, or (b) get good value for AM in a trade

I love it when AJ shut's up a home teams fans at their stadium with long methodical drives like he did so many times at Bama..It's fun to watch that's for sure..

the only downside to AJ getting traded is that it would most likely be to a bad team.

I don't see it happening this season. It depends on how they will handle Dalton going forward. If AJ is hot tonight, and Dalton is ready next week, They may go with AJ as he is hot right now... If AJ takes them to superbowl... Then Bengals are in diffcult situation.

I could understand it if AJ was having problems handling the offense, but, he looks like he's got control over this offense & the rest of the team is feeding off AJ..The Bengal's offense is looking just as good as any offense in the Pro's right now & they're doing it in one of the harder places at Mile High Stadium..Makes no sense in breaking up the momentum the offense has with AJ, but, I've seen it happen a few times in the NFL..If they do bench AJ for Dalton..I hope AJ gets traded to a team that will build their offense around him..

Dalton's their starter, A.J.'s their backup. What's all this trade talk????
They're not trading either one of them.
A.J. is performing well, very well. He's an outstanding QB, as he has proven.
But right now he's still the back up at Cincy and they're waiting and hoping for Dalton to get well before the playoffs.
That's not shot against A.J.. He has been incredible.He's outstanding.
But they're paying Dalton millions, and they're going to play him if at all possible.
Use that thinker.

If AJ has a few more of these games, they'll trade one of them.
Yup..QB's that has a hot arm in the NFL is a big trade commodity for teams that's in need of a QB to lead their offense..It's obvious AJ is ready & matured enough in the NFL to lead an offense, he's not going to want to stay a backup & needs to be traded while his value is up.. NFL QB's has that window when they can play at a high level & AJ is in that window now..He definitely needs his own offense if The Bengal's keeps Dalton as their starter..

Just FYI, the trade deadline was several weeks ago in the NFL. Any trade or roster move wouldn't happen until next year..

McChampionship put in a great first half. Let's see him finish it up if opportunity presents itself.
