A few questions to ponder
#25

Show me the QB you want us to sign who will go undefeated against every top team in the league, and I'll agree that we should get him to replace Dalton.

Beating a top team like the Steelers 2 times out of 8 tries in the REGULAR SEASON correlates to ZIP ZERO ZILCH in showing anything in the playoffs or showing a trend to figuring them out. Proof is that AD is 0-4 in the playoffs and has losing record against the best teams in the league.

So he wins a game every now an then against a top team. What's the saying? Even a blind squirrel is bound to find a nut every once in a while. Not really anything a championship team is going to hang their hat on with confidence.

It's sad, really, that as a fan base some of us are like... "Hey, if the stars align then maybe, possibly, could, try to, luckily... once in a blue moon happen." It's pathetic to have that kind of hope. The blind faith against all reasonable logic and history reminds me of religious zealot behavior.

Peyton Manning is 5-11 all time against NE. 2-2 in the playoffs. His track record against good/great teams is excellent and to compare that one example against one team to Andy Dalton's career is insulting to Manning, one of the top QBs to ever play, and delusional.

Nobody is asking for Andy or anyone else to go undefeated against anyone. I don't understand the point of the question other than to deflect logic and take all reasonable expectation of success out of the discussion. Which appears to be the last thread of hope for AD zealots.
