If he post another milk toast season it may be time to look for his successor.  He's not getting younger or better.  2015 was along time ago.

I appreciate his time in Cincinnati and what he was able to do and if I'm wrong and Taylor is able to show his true potential I'll eat words.  Frankly though I don't see it happening unfortunately.

Daltons BIGGEST glaring weakness is he is simply not a LEADER. Great qbs that win in crunch time are leaders.Andy never has been and never will be.Our new head coach can only teach so much,only help so much,when it comes down to getting it done when its all on the line,Andy Dalton will fail.A leader has to get one more huge play from guys that are tired,and have already given their all,and the main man,the qb HAS TO PULL all of them together to get that one big play that will win it.He is not capable of that as that has to be born in you.The ones that have that are leaders of men.We lack that in cincy and until we have a qb that can get that done,we will always be watching another team in the SUPER BOWL.If I am wrong I will take all of this back.I do believe we will have an exciting season and our players will be in the hunt.I could see us at 9 and 7 with a wild card.Remember,teams that make the playoffs are very good just to get there.Everyone is super tough at that time.
