Not only that but some crazy endings to some games. Palmer's knee injury wasn't something that Ben could have counted on and while the Bengals may not have won the SB, they could have beaten Pittsburgh. So yeah Stars Aligning.Sanu and Jones was here 3 or 4 years together and AJ and Andy are all close and started in the NFL together and grew and this was all when Andy was still slinging the ball around before he was coached into being gun shy. I agree with keeping Jones around and Sanu if it was in the cards but it did not happen. Nobody is developing with Andy now when AJ is on the field Dalton will force it to AJ even when others are in one on one match ups that we have the advantage on.
You see Nick Foles doesn't win SB MVP if the stars doesn't align.
You act like Dalton hasn't played without AJ before. He has and he has played well. You know why 2015 was so good? Cause when Dalton threw to the other WRs they actually caught the ball. Unlike the drops that has came about since Sanu and Jones left.
When those 2 left, who did we replace them with? 1 guy... Tyler Boyd. Then we get John Ross in a different draft, who has been injured and not as consistent as Jones.
Aaron Rodgers is the king of YAC... Brady is the king of short throws. Rarely do they throw the ball downfield. Brees is the only one to throw down field consistently.
The expression that QBs are told is "Give you guys a chance". Well at some point those guys are going to have to make the most out of their chances.
I was going to respond to the Ben statement but I am going to let it be I don't like talking about him. We all know the history there.
Bottom line to me is Dalton had many chances to win playoff games and failed for whatever reason 5 years strait. Everyone can clearly see you are a huge Dalton fan so this must be rough for you but it will get better not like he was family right? Dalton's time playing for the Bengals is over and they are in the process of moving on and trying to find our next QB weather he is on the team now, in the draft or a free agent {not likely}. We needed to see another QB at the helm for many reasons with an 0-8 start to the season with many new coaches and play callers. If you are a Bengals fan this move had to be made and should answer some of those questions many of us have.
