Actually I think it was more toxic when we were fighting about Marvin and Dalton.
Both of those guys were just good enough to provide their supporters with a lot of material, but they were also bad enough to give the other side soem good points to argue. Even someone in the national media admitted that Dalton was the line between "keep your QB" and "get a new QB". When something is that even it is going to produce a lot of argument.
Then there wre the arguments that were more about personal choices than play on the field. Mainly Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson. These arguments were hot because they were based on opinion instead of facts.
I believe that things are extra heated right now because so many fans dug in their heels and made the arguments for "ANYONE but Marvin" and "ANYONE but Andy". Obviously Burrow has a lot more potential than Andy and should become a better QB. But you still see a lot of people trash Andy in order to defend Joe. And as soon as i questioned the hiring of Taylor I was attacked with claims that i was "just defending Marvin".
