I remember when ESPN ranked Dalton 33rd best starting quarterback out of 32.

For instance ESPN's QBR system had Dalton as the 16th best quarterback this week.

I'll admit Dalton wasn't number 1, but was Russell Wilson who had 10 of 14 drives that went for 11 yards or less and on 6 of those 14 drives went for negative yards better than Dalton?

Russell Wilson who completed 14 passes was objectively better than Dalton how?

Dalton was as sharp as I've ever seen him in the first half. He was throwing to WRs far before their breaks, which takes 3 things. 

Confidence in himself and his wrs, it's takes near flawless reading of the defense and near perfect placement on those timing routes.

There was one pass were Dalton threw it to Uzomah and it freaks him out, because the ball is on him as soon as he makes that break.

How about Jimmy Garoppolo who went 18 of 27 for 1 TD and 1 pick for 166 yards?

That was a more impressive game then Dalton?

San Francisco 49ers own beat writers described his game as "shaky" and that's a better game than Dalton?

I'm not even trying to bash ESPN. They moved us up 6 spots in the power rankings and said we clearly looked like the more dominant team and said Andy and Zac look to be a good duo if they can win games like this.

But I also know that Jimmy Garoppolo and Russell Wilson didn't outperform Andy Dalton week 1.

ESPN is big market biased to get more viewers. Cincinnati has to be a top 5 team to get accurate coverage from them
