In 2 of those games he had a passer rating over 100
In 3 of those games he had a passer rating over 90
In 4 of those games he had a passer rating over 87
In the 5th of those games he had the best playoff performance by a Bengal QB since Boomer Esiason.
If anyone has anything negative to say about a kid who has only started 4 NFL in his career, they are just looking too hard for the negative. In my book he is the best backup in the NFL and soon will be a qauality starter.
This. The guy came in off the bench and kept the season together (not to mention throwing for 280 yards against Pittsburgh that week). I guess it is similar to the hate that Dalton used to get, but Dalton didn't get it after five games... I really do not understand the vitriol that some on here have towards the guy.
