It's sad how some people are trashing Dalton so bad and gloating because he's on the bench. Are you a fan of the team or just a Dalton hater?
Andy did a lot of good for this team and city. For that, thank him and move on. You should get your wish and he shouldn't be in stripes next year. Is it really necessary to continue to try and tear the man down further? When he was drafted, this team was predicted to go 0-16. He helped lead them to the playoffs instead. Hate on him all you want, he definitely played a part in the success of this team. Yeah, I know, we didn't win a playoff game. However, we were no longer the doormat of the NFL. Andy played a part in that. Yes, I am a fan of Dalton and I hope he gets to somewhere else so he can succeed. If Dalton gets the chance to start elsewhere, I'd bet that he wins a playoff game before Cincinnati does.
Andy has always been said he had to be surrounded by elite talent to succeed. Maybe it's just me, but I think a lot of you WAY overvalue Bengals players. Are we really considering Auden Tate and Alex Erickson "elite" level talent? When healthy, John Ross had that one big game this season. He's often injured and has seriously underperformed for his draft position. He's "elite" though, right? Let's not forget Mohamed Sanu. I like Sanu, but many talked about how bad Atlanta overpaid him and dogged New England for trading for him. However, to bash Dalton, Sanu was "elite" talent. How about Armon Binns, Ryan Whalen, Damion Willis, Brandon LaFell, Cody Core, Josh Malone, James Wright, Andrew Hawkins, Brandon Tate, Jerome Simpson, Andre Caldwell, Greg Little, the list goes on. Outside of AJ Green, 2 seasons of more than 8 games from Eifert, and maybe Joe Mixon, what actual "elite" weapons have the Bengals surrounded Dalton with? Marvin Jones is good, but is he really a top tier WR? This isn't even getting into what was done to the OLine.
I'm a Bengals fan first. I hope Finley plays well. I don't expect it. He gets AJ, but he also gets the same OLine, worst NFL rushing attack, worst NFL rushing defense, and that garbage LB group that Dalton had to deal with. However, I believe many of you will allow those excuses for Finley and even make up further ones just simply for the fact he's not Andy Dalton. If the team goes winless under Finley, you won't care because at least Andy Dalton isn't under center.
