And Marvin has assembled a roster that deserves none of the "they are so talented" comments.
Driskel was claimed off waivers after being a late round QB draft pick who was cut. He was drafted by Chip Kelly who shit down his leg when it came to the NFL draft. He was 15-31 for 132 yards and 2 picks in his rookie preseason action before our brilliant front office thought they saw an answer and eagerly scooped him up. Admittingly i fell for some of the bullshit hype. I remember seeing a post on this board about why the guy who couldnt make it at Florida as a college QB was a good option.
His competition this year was a weird midget conehead 7th rd pick and Matt Barkley. Barkley was on track to beat out Driskel. Meanwhile the wasted 7th round pick was drafted by the startup D league a couple weeks ago.
I think we would have. Coaching staff maybe wouldnt have called so many 2 yard out routes and screens 5 yards behind the line. He probably hasn't lost many home games against an opposing QB who had less than 150 passing yards.

Having said that. Would Dalton have won today?
No. Everyone likes to play the 'what if' game. What they always seem to forget is all the losing while that person was in before.
They would have found some way to lose.

With all due respect, you're dreaming. He would have had no time either.

Dalton would have given the Bengals a better shot at a win....but that doesn't mean the offensive line would have been any better or gave up any less penalties. Let's face it penalties by the offensive line have been a regular thing since week 1 hurting the offense.
I have the Heart of a Lion! I also have a massive fine and a lifetime ban from the Pittsburgh Zoo...
Yes. Andy Dalton would have led the Bengals to a victory today. He wouldn’t haven’t thrown that inexcusable pick which led to a Denver touchdown so there’s seven less points for the Broncos. That’s 17. Andy would have been able to get at least 17 points on the board.
