A few questions to ponder

1. At what point are we allowed to blame the QB for his inferior playoff performances instead of saying it's 100% Marvin's fault and is there a scenario where we can blame both? (If you feel neither are at fault like FredToast, then please explain who is at fault?)

2. Do you feel that Dalton is improving as a QB?

3. Are you confident in Andy Dalton taking us to the Super Bowl one day?

I'll be patiently waiting and am truly looking forward to your answers. Just pretend someone else asked these questions. I'm sure that will allow you to answer them objectively, or not.

1. Nobody has ever placed 100% of the blame on any one person. That’s just a phrase folks use to defend someone: “I guess it’s all Andy’s fault”, ‘So you are saying Marvin is 100% to blame?”. If I had to find a scapegoat it would be Mike Brown. He treats his team solely as a business and often cuts corners on his players’ amenities. To be a Champion you’ve got to believe you’re a champion. That is very hard to do when you are commuting to the local University or recreational soccer facility to practice indoors.

2. Yes, Andy is improving, the problem is that he is doing it very slowly and he may be nearing his ceiling.  For instance Andy enjoyed a much better rookie year than other young starters such as Luck and Tannehill; yet both have already demonstrated they have a higher ceiling than Andy.

3. I am not confident anyone will take us to a Super Bowl; however, Andy currently gives us the best chance.
