Right. Because he's stated from the beginning that Dalton will be the starter, no matter what...

Aikman also has 4 rings, a Gold Jacket, and actually Playoff wins where he didn’t shit the bed in epic fashion. Jerry and Jimmy also rebuilt the team quickly by trading off assets to stockpile draft picks and used FA to supplement the team. In other words, things that go against the model model...
Through 2023
Mike Brown’s Owner/GM record: 32 years 223-303-4 .419 winning pct.

I highly doubt there will be 4 teams with a 1-15 record or worse. Maybe if they win 2-3 games.

I think Chase Young also likely has something to do with it. Kid looks like a monster and with the recent success of OSU DE's in the NFL, the kid is about as close as you're going to get to a slam dunk difference maker. However, it's tough to go in that direction if you need a QB. They have to see if Finley or Dolegala can be the guy before you pass on a guy like that.

I saw a tweet that Dalton hasn't led the Bengals to a win in a year.

I dont mind the move, in fact good, at least it's something.
But if they are going to start holding someone accountable like Andy, they better hold others as well from other players to coaches to the front office. Andy is by far not the biggest reason they are 0-8.

Probably because J24 hates Zac.

Especially if that win is against the Dolphins.

If a QB better than Andy existed on this roster I’d hope he would’ve been playing already. So that leads me to believe a better QB isn’t on this roster and we’re throwing the season. The draft will be where we find our guy

Wasn't almost half of that in the final two drives when the rams were up by 14?

Maybe consider starting Gio if for no other reason he's a better pass blocker and receiver than Mixon.

Well, at least the games will be exciting again as we cheer for Finley success.

I said before the draft it looks like Finley has never seen a weight room lol.
I'm glad the Bengals are going to see what they have leading into the next draft cuz we all know they werent going to resign Dalton to a big deal but...
Someone get Finley a Sammich.
I have the Heart of a Lion! I also have a massive fine and a lifetime ban from the Pittsburgh Zoo...
