However — and we must be honest — Burrow is not yet where Andy Dalton was at his absolute peak. Sometimes we forget Dalton’s best was extremely impressive; memories are short I know. What I remember were games where Dalton ran off the field to chants of, “MVP!”
Both Burrow and Dalton have had interception issues as well. Joe needs to fix this before he can realize his potential.
Andy Dalton was never going to be elite and even he knew it. Comparing him to Joe Burrow is ludicrous. However, we sometimes forget Dalton went 52-27-1 from 2011-2015. That’s pretty sick. I hope Joe Burrow can go on a run like that too.
Joe Burrow does need mentoring and having an experienced backup quarterback on the roster might be a smart idea. It doesn’t have to be Andy Dalton.
A few things here:
1. Carson Palmer had a ceiling higher than any QB we've seen other than Cook.
2 & 3 are confusing to me. If Dalton was never going to be elite, then that means he was a solid QB. Burrow is already there. Sure he has some issues that he needs to fix, but there are some metrics that rate Burrow as the top QB in the NFL, Dalton was never in those discussions.
