2. Why is it highly unlikely to come? If we have a prospect on our bench that is superior to an MVP candidate that broke the Bengals record for passer rating in a season, teams would be beating down the door for him. If "E" from Bengals message boards can see the immense potential, I'm sure 31 other teams can see it as well. So why do you think McCarron will never see the opportunity? Are NFL teams just not as smart as you?
3. @BAL (10-6)- 25-38, 301 with 1TD and 0 INT
The stat line says it all.
Vs ATL(6-10) - 15-24, 252 with 1TD and 0 INT
10.5 YPA? With no AJ Green?
Vs TENN(2-14) - 15 - 23, 169 with 0 TD and 1 INT
Dalton was very crisp and kept several scoring drives going. Gio bobbled a good pass that was picked off. Dalton caught a TD.
Vs BAL(10-6) - 21 - 28, 266 with 0 TD and 1INT
You left out how Dalton rushed for 2 TDs here. Clear MVP.
Vs JAX(3-13) - 19 - 31, 233 with 2 TD and 2 INT
Not a sexy statline, but helped lead the offense to 33 points.
@ NO(7-9) - 16 - 22, 220 with 3 TD and 0 INT
Shredded the Saints without AJ Green. The 143.9 passer rating was the highest NO allowed all season.
@ HOU(9-7) - 24 - 35, 233 with 1 TD and 1 INT
Completed 68.6% of his throws and on 3rd downs, he went 5 for 7 with 5 first downs. Led offense to 22 points on the road against a tough D.
@ TB(2-14) - 19 - 27, 176 with 1 TD and 3 INT
Dalton had a bad game here. With the flu. Luckily the Bucs were an awful team so it didn't matter.
@ CLE(7-9) - 14 - 24, 117 with 0 TD and 1 INT
This was back when the Browns owned Green and Dalton. Luckily we were playing Manziel.
Vs DEN(12-4) - 17 - 26, 146 with 2 TD and 1 INT
Essentially no AJ Green. Dalton ran the option well (6 carries, 25 yards). Dalton was key on 2 TD drives. Rushing for 19 yards and throwing a TD on one. Then he went 2/2 with 30 yards and a TD on the other. Posted a 93.1 rating against a great defense despite a clear lack at receiver.
I never said Dalton was THE key to why we won 10 games. I said he was a "key factor". Clearly he was. Now can we look at McCarron's games on an individual basis? You probably don't want to do that.
I'm gonna keep this short because this thing could go round and round forever.
1. I'm sure he did. Thanks.
2.It's highly unlikely to come ,because the Bengals have too much invested in Dalton and there is no way that they will bench him just because the young backup has a promising look about him. Also once again, I didn't say Mccarron is superior to Dalton. I said he could be if given the opportunity. Write that down and pin it to your refrigerator so I don't have to remind you again. I also never said he had "immense potential", I merely said he could become equal to or greater than Dalton. I also didn't say he will "never" get an opportunity. I said it is highly unlikely, and was referring only to the Cincy position.
How do you know that teams weren't calling about Mccarron ?....I suppose I should have guessed that 'Shake n Blake' from Bengals message board was an NFL insider with the scoop on everything.
I've already stated my case on those games and clearly Andy Dalton needed and got a great deal of support in reaching those 10 wins. A handful of cupcakes on the schedule didn't hurt either.
