To Andy Dalton.

[Marlon23]

Way to go. I was not your biggest fan.... for sure. I said things that Should have not been said, but I was angry... I was the one who said you knocked my popcorn out of my hands when I was at the game. I was the one who said you threw the ball onto Second Street West... I also said I wish we would have taken Luck or Kap or Ryan Leaf... I am the one who said you look like Opie but with a stronger Jaw Line... For this I am sorry. I am sorry. I will allow one kick in the Nads if you like.. Right in the Nads Andy. You DA MAN!!!!! I am Sorry. Thanks for all your Hard Work this year... Thanks.

There is so much to admire about Andy.  He accepts the blame alone and spreads the credit around.  He's never stopped working on his game.  He shows incredible resilience.  He was in it for the long haul and he was never gonna stop until he got it right.  He never stopped believing in himself even when so many on the outside stopped believing in him.  And now, when he has every reason to gloat, he has no interest in gloating.

Way to own up Marlon.

I wasn't that bad but i did say this Offseason that i was unsure about Dalton, especially about winning in the
Playoffs but he has improved in every aspect this year and i think he will lead us to atleast one Playoff win
this year barring injury to his weapons. Knock on wood.

Yeah McC, great post man.

The leadership is there and now he has a swagger without the gloating. Proud of my QB, keep it up Andy.

I was somewhere in the middle. I thought Andy had a high floor, but a low ceiling. I was wrong about the ceiling. Even if he stumbles some this season, he's proven his ability is as high as anybody in this league.

I agree with this and Marlon owning up...................HOWEVER................let me add this.

Keep this in mind, the first time things don't go his way, like they did against Pittsburgh, (speaking strictly from a personal QBR standpoint) and they lose instead of win.

He's a true man of character and let's not overlook this--one tough dude.

Depends on the way we lose if we do...

Every QB has a bad game or two and he had a bad one against Pitt.

Luckily the Defense came to play and him and the Offense made just enough plays to win it.

Does it matter, outside of possibly making someone feel better because they rant and rave?

Will it change or he anything about the team?

I may be reading this wrong, but it seems like an incomplete thought.

Let me make sure I have this right, so if the defense didn't step up, you'd be in here bashing Dalton again?

I'm saying, IF the defense didn't step up yesterday, would Marlon be in here bashing him again?

...okay, Andy. Okay. Got it.

{covers phone with free hand}

He said, "Screw you, Marlon. I don't accept your apology, and if I ever catch you out in the 'Nati I'ma kick your ass for the 'Opie' remark."

{shrug}

Should'a heard what he said about Wes Mantooth.

[Marlon23]

I think there should be a lot more on here apologizing!!! as well just saying!!!

Great apology, but AD doesn't reside on a message board so I suggest another solution.

Let me kick you in the Nads on AD's behalf since I and others had to read to your rants.

J/K or am I

J/K, I do hope you and others keep this perspective after he has a game of around a 40 QBR which over time, it will happen.

So what are you gonna do if Andy shows up at your house with Huber and says, Gee, I can't risk the injury to my foot, but we'll call it even if you let Kevin here kick you?
