Rick Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I believe if our offensive line can be average, just average, I believe the play of Andy Dalton can take us to our first playoff win. If the play of the offensive line is less than average, it will be a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Rock Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 He was realizing his potential, as was the team, when he broke his thumb on that terrible play against Pittsburgh. Went from having a great season, actually being picked up by fantasy football players, about to score on the dreaded Stealers, to season over in an instant. That's football of course, but there is an element of being snake bit to the Bengals. If fate doesn't bestow it on us, then we do it to ourselves (wild card game). I've seen Dalton play in person and I was very impressed. He really does have the talent, but will the team ever focus and fight mercilessly (and more importantly) intelligently for that extra inch? That extra inch Al Pacino refers to in, On Any Given Sunday. I won't belabor Mike Brown or Marv, honestly I'm exhausted, but it's gonna require team cohesion to see what Andy's capable of.

fredtoast Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Dalton is plenty good enough to win it all. He is not a superstar that can carry a weak team, but he is a pretty good QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a superstar that can carry a weak team, but he is a pretty good QB. He's better than average... Which is pretty damn good. He's also been very durable, which is a sadly overlooked quality. It wasn't that long ago when people wanted to trade him for Kaepernick, because Kaepernick won playoff games. Now Kaepernick sucks. Andrew Luck is still "elite" because he was a first round draft pick. And so on... I recall a rtime when the Pats were doomed because Drew Bledsoe was hurt and he was an Elite QB. Carson Palmer was right up there with Manning. LOL. See, THIS is a narrative. Nevermind the fact that Dalton has had to lead his team in the playoffs with Rex Burkehead as his #2 receiver. That he's had to work with a sub-par running game. Because we all remember Dalton fumbling with 22 seconds to go, right? It's his fault that JJ Watt beat Andre Smith like Kuntakinte two years straight. It's his fault that Marvin's a conservative pussy who would rather kneel out a half and has clock management that The Mad Hatter would find appalling. In 2015, he had a 106.3 passer rating. In 2016, he played behind the 31st ranked line in the NFL and the running game was averaging 3.6 YPC. Slingin' Sammy Baugh couldn't have been successful in that team makeup. And it's a team game. If you really don't like Dalton - We can always go back to the Kitna/Frerotte/Akili years... Hell, we all remember Jeff Blake's playoff appearances. I bet you that Cleveland would be thrilled to have Dalton, as would 10-16 other teams in the NFL right now. Don't be all "5/10, wouldn't bang" and appreciate that he's been solid and steady after taking over a team that was expected to be the worst in the league by a long way after Captain "Elite" Pick-6 bolted on us. How did he do again in Oakland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted September 8, 2017 Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Oh I was just having fun. Dalton is a slightly above average QB. I would put him around 15th but based on how well Winston and Mariota progress he may drop a few spots. He can win us a playoff game or two if things work out well. 1. Rodgers 2. Brady 3. Brees 4. Ryan 5. Rapist 6. Wilson 7. Luck 8. Newton 9. Stafford 10. Rivers 11. Palmer 12. Prescott 13. Bradford 14. Carr 15. Dalton 16. Winston 17. Mariota 18. Manning 19. Alex Smith 20. Cousins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleEarl Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 What Dalton has proven over the years is that he cannot handle adversity. He is going to get a steady diet this season. If a team had a good offensive line and some decent receivers Dalton would get the job done. He is out of his league playing for the Bengals this year.
