I think it's fair to say a disproportionate amount of blame has been heaped on the QB. Despite our many problems, QB is always what we wind up talking about. People are super excited about Burrow (myself included in that), but do any of us really think this FO will fix the team around him? A segment of this board doesn't really talk about that it seems.

Instead, I often see people saying "well Andy never led us anywhere"  or "Andy couldn't win big games" as if Andy is the key reason we never won anything. Maybe those who say such things really do believe Mike, Marvin, etc are/were problems, but it's hard to tell when they're making such statements.

And praise, that's the way it's always been and that's the way it will always be.

And I think most do understand the very long list of problems with this team from top to bottom. It's just that Dalton is the most visible target. I fully believe that had the right buttons been pushed AD could have had much more success here, same with CP9. But MB refuses to push those buttons and/or doesn't know how and refuses to let somebody who does run the show.

Put Dalton on the 88 Bengals with that Oline and we're winning some games. He could have been J. McMahon on the 85 Bears. He could win with the 19 niners, name a Patriots team ? 

The problem comes in because we aren't ever going to build one of those type teams or have the coaching under MB ! And Dalton isn't a QB who can take a team on his back and rise above it.
