Very smart move by the Bengals

he hasn't played a big game yet. but he's a hell of a good QB.

check out his situational stats: http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/396173/splits/2005

plays better on the road than at home. he's best in the last 2 minutes of each half. 91.9 in the 4th quarter of a 7 point game. all point to success in big games... theoretically. he has been worse in december, though.

of course, this ultimately means nothing... but without stats, what's a poor nerd boy to do?
