Would We Have Won With Andy Today? - NATI BENGALS - 12-02-2018
I have done my fair share of Dalton bashing.
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.
Having said that. Would Dalton have won today?

No. Plain and simple. No.
RE: Would We Have Won With Andy Today? - NATI BENGALS - 12-02-2018
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.

Brady, Brees or Mahomes or whomever wouldn't make this team win. One player cannot make or break this team.

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.

Yes, a QB of that caliber would bring more wins, by their talent alone. Driskel is not one of those guys. Neither is Dalton.

Nope; however, a good QB may have made a difference.

Did Dalton beat Cleveland? Did he put up points against the Saints?
What makes you think he would have scored 24+ today?
The offense has been done for weeks.

Playing What If seems to be what this fanbase does.
What If the refs didn't screw us against the Steelers? (Reality is the Steelers outgained us almost 2:1 in yards).
What If we were healthy.
Buy more season tickets then guys. Buy more season tickets. We've had 26+ years of bad luck.

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'd like to see any QB in history try to convert a 3rd and 39...

I'm pretty sure a HOF QB or the hottest QB in the game right now could have beaten the Broncos at home today. Let's not go too crazy here.

Mahomes likely wouldn't be playing yet and when he did, he'd probably throw more ints than tds.

Lol Great video.
I was just poining out the fact the offense line penalties would have been hard for any QB to over come today.
RE: Would We Have Won With Andy Today? - Fan_in_Kettering - 12-02-2018
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.
