Zac Taylor has said from DAY ONE that Andy Dalton is the man — and he stuck by this. Andy will be under center for many years in Cincinnati because he’s smart and durable. He’s in the middle of his career, not near the end, because the modern quarterback plays to almost age 40. Forget 2016-2018, please, and think of 2011-2015 when Andy tore up almost everyone and led the Bengals to FIVE straight playoff appearances. Without the freak thumb injury in 2015 he would have been MVP.
Thanks again brother, we need to start to judge Dalton with a decent O-line, now is the time to judge him.
He has been hampered with a bad O-line most of his career and has still put up the best numbers and the most Playoff appearances by a Bengals QB if i am not mistaken. You have to put players in a position to succeed. QB's need a decent O-line and Dalton has only survived by having a quick release and a great WR in AJ Green.
Now he will have Billy Price and Jonah Williams protecting him. Look out once these guys get the NFL down.
Mixon also comes into this conversation taking the heat off Dalton with a great running game.
Teams better account for Mixon otherwise Green or Boyd will hurt them. This is not even mentioning if Eifert, Ross, Sample, Uzomah, play to their potential. Really like Trayveon and Rodney too, both are very talented RB's to go along with Gio.
