The QB position

I haven't had an Andy Dalton debate in quite a while and this was a perfect reminder of why i'm going to try my best to refrain from any further discussion.

Q: How can one have an objective discussion about a player when regardless of how he plays the other person will excuse him?

A: You can't, so there is no point.

Except no one's excusing him. This is why we can't have a debate; people like you who can't handle the facts and stats are provided and so instead cry "excuses" when everyone defending Dalton has said he's played poorly in the playoffs and needs to be more consistent.

The "excuses" you bemoan are to point out that the fault for the playoff losses do not rest squarely on Dalton. That's not to say Dalton doesn't share the blame, but whenever this is pointed out to people like you, you stick your fingers in your ear and whine that we're excusing Dalton and it's not worth discussing about him.

So, the way I see it, you have a choice. Either recognize that no one's excusing Dalton's poor play AND that he's not the sole reason we lost in the playoffs and engage in fruitful discussion with the rest of us or continue to think Dalton sucks even though the facts say otherwise and keep your thoughts to yourself. Those aren't your only 2 choices, to be sure, but it'll at least spare the rest of us your pathetic crying. Thanks.
