Andy Dalton is a Quitter

[BURROWorBUST]

We're better than this.

Andy Dalton gave everything he had to this team, as did Dre K BTW.

And both of them contributed alot to the Cincy community.

Both of their performances fell off. There were many contributing factors, but none of them related to the heart or character of these two men.

It was time for a partial rebuild. In Andy's case, we had a chance to draft the most promising young QB since Andrew Luck. We couldn't not do it.

From my understanding, he wanted to be released because nobody was willing to trade for him and take on that salary. He wanted the chance to go find a starting job. Mike obliged him.

Thank you Andy Dalton (and AJ Green) for saving this franchise from the humiliation that Carson Palmer subjected us to. Even with a shortened pre-season, the rookie Dalton led this team to the playoffs the year Palmer quit.

I'll never forget the comeback win against Buffalo. Or the Green Bay game in the Jungle. Or the 4th qtr wins in Baltimore and Atlanta. I'm sure I'm leaving some out.

Andy Dalton might have become mediocre, but he never gave up. Not ever.
