Andy Dalton is really good

It is now 2016 going into 2017 and we are no longer able to give any excuses for Andy Dalton.  

Palmer was awful at the end of his tenure here, and I loved the dude.  His is still the only Bengals jersey I own (fittin' to change that this Christmas with a Boomer throwback jersey), but he was bad the last couple of years, really. 

What excuses are being made?  His numbers are good, our offense moves the ball, just can't score....the defense has been abysmal, and the o line is straight doo doo.  That said, that also happened to Palmer his last few years here, the line sucked......hmmmmmm.....

The problem is, people see the league through Mike Clown's lenses.....they think shiny trinket skill players make the difference, when the game is actually won and lost in the trenches.  Right now, as in the past at times, the trenches are shitty.  That's putting it politely.
