I said this in another post but this season could be completely different if they had resigned Whit and Zeitler and replaced Bodine.
Organization is run by stubborn men who won't admit mistakes and with no vision or courage to make changes when needed.
Please... Stop. The excuse making is pathetically sad. There's a difference between explanations and excuses. These blanket statements as if Andy hasn't had any chances to be good or great are sad excuses.
Andy Dalton has missed plays and been bad even when he's had time this season. Sorry, but he has. He's missed plenty of throws that were needed when they were there to make. Certainly a lot more than he's made. He's not under duress every single snap. Not at all or even close. He's had time and blown it.... over and over.
NOBODY in their right mind is thinking "Well, with Andy Dalton the Bengals have a chance." when the Bengals are underdogs. He's not any sort of big reason the Bengals win or any sort of significant significant difference maker. Virtually ANY starter in the NFL over the past few seasons would be able to have done what Andy Dalton has done with this team around him.
This doesn't excuse the bad Oline play. It's been horrific. But when the plays have been there... He leads AJ out of bounds. Over.. and over... and over. He sucks.
At this point, AJ McCarron, even if similar in skill set to Andy Dalton... is $96MILLION cheaper. $96million buys some nice Olinemen. I would take AJ Mac & an upgraded Oline over AD and this crap show he's been running.
