He took arguably one of the best Bengals teams we've seen and beat two 5-11 teams that had Ryan Mallett and Blaine Gabbert at QB. That's not exactly game changing worth.

The Bengals were 10-2, he took over and went 2-3 (counting postseason).

You can look at it that way, but I can also say that if Nugent doesn't miss a FG that would have put the Bengals up 17 on the road, in Denver, that the Bengals win that game (that goes to OT) and get the #1 seed in the playoffs.  

Consider the dropoff.  We all keep talking about Andy's pending death due to the offensive line woes (although I think they will address it and I am not as much Chicken Little as some), but if Dalton goes down, I think the Bengals could still win with McCarron.  Driskell?  Uh, not so much...
