I am definitely a casual Pats fan. Bengals are always the primary. But without the Pats, I may have had to quit watching football, with all the times they kept the Steelers from winning.

I sense I'm one of the few with this thought based on what I read in this board: I don't think the hoodie wants Dalton, and I don't really think Dalton would do that well in the Pats offense. They don't have any weapons to speak of, and Andy would struggle to move the ball imo. I'm not certain of this, and think I could very well be wrong, but that's my initial assessment. Dalton was all pre-snap. Brady understood the game pre and post snap and knew how to change to the right play after post-snap changes. Which is why he could still put up points without any major receiving weapons (yes he had Gronk, but Edelman was his #1 WR and I don't think Edelman is much/any better than Boyd).

Of course, I could be proven wrong in less than a week when Belichick signs Dalton and Dalton wins the starting job in TC, but imo, this isn't going to happen. Anyways, good luck to Andy, but I don't want to see him start against the Bengals whether it's with the Pats or anyone else.

As I said in another thread, thanks to Andy for his charitable endeavors in Cincinnati. Good man. Good heart.
