Yes, I'm still happy with the offseason and if the Bengals can sign Larry Warford to shore up the offensive line, I'll be absolutely ecstatic.
Recently I visited some of the Dallas Cowboys message boards to see what their fans thought about signing Andy Dalton. First of all, Dallas fans are completely delusional; they think they're Super Bowl bound every season so picking through this unrealistic paradigm was difficult. Still, I found several themes somewhat resembling common sense with respect to Andy Dalton.
1. Dallas fans either love Dak Prescott or they hate his guts. There is no middle ground. However, once I got past the love/hate, all Cowboys fans seem to agree Dak is asking for way too much money. They all agree he is good but not good enough to sink half of Texas' GDP into his salary. Most Dallas fans are ready to move on from Dak; I found that surprising.
2. Predominately because he is a Texan, most Dallas fans have love and admiration for Andy Dalton. Virtually no one in Cowboy Nation hates his guts. Some of the more observant posters want a true Dak vs. Andy competition in training camp and others, those with a more financial bent, think Andy should start because Jerry Jones signed him for pennies on the dollar compared with what Dak wants. Some even think Andy is better than Dak based on his first five years in Cincinnati.
3. There are very few fans on Dallas message boards with the football intellect found here on our board. The average football mind here on The Bengals Board is far and away better than the average football IQ among Cowboys fans.
