Andy Dalton was sacked the 12th most in the NFL. Let ne save you from the "bur he missed 3 games" defense. Only 5 QB in the NFl attempted more passes than Andy yet was sacked less. 

He had a fine supporting crew. He had a WR catch for over 1000 yards and a RB rush for over 1000 yards. 

Unsure what the defense has to do with Andy's performance, but sure, use it as another excuse if you must.

The team was clicking on all cylinders yesterday and he managed a passer rating in the 70s.

Folks around here love Andy and I get that. Professional NFL personnel people have no loyalty to him. If we're not willing to pay him $17 Mil as a back up and/or compete against a promising youngster what makes folks think other teams will?

Sorry, bud, but watching the Bengals on offense, you saw virtually NO downfield shots because of a lack of outside speed and not enough time to get downfield.  Dalton isn't sacked a lot because of his quick release and the offense being designed to get the ball out quickly.  While that is ok on the surface, it tremendously limits what an offense can do and makes it easier for a defense to attack when they don't have to worry about getting beat over the top.  

He does not have a "fine" supporting crew.  He has the worst offensive line in football.  

How can you not comprehend how a bad defense hurts a QB?  Brady played like CRAP for most of the game against Cincy, but his defense KEPT GETTING HIM THE BALL.  Piggy made a living of this.  

As far as clicking on all cylinders goes, they were doing that in 2015 when his rating was over 100.  That was a team with weapons and an offensive line.
