I guess I feel differently about the Bengals being able to put a good team around a QB. Heck in 2013 we had the #5 scoring defense and #6 scoring offense. Is that bad? Went to the playoff and was favored against the Chargers. Dalton throws 2 Ints and loses at least one fumble, maybe 2. Im pretty sure the following year same thing against the Colts, except without AJ in that game Dalton was reaaaallly bad. Did he even throw for 150 that game? Anyway loses at least one fumble and looks lost out there. But the team around him was solid.
2015 we had the 2nd best scoring defense in the NFL and the 7th best scoring offense in the NFL. How is that not puttin a good overall team on the field? We were stacked. Made it to the playoffs after Andy had probably his best year but got hurt. AJ McCarron and AJ Green had just seemingly won our 1st playoff game, and then was completely robbed of it by Jeremy Hill not protecting the ball well enough. Then we all know what happened from there. Between Burftct, Jones and bad reffing, we got our W stolen. We beat the shit out of the Steelers in that game though we really did, We hit them in the mouth repeatedly and without Hill's carelessness they wouldve lost to us with our backup QB, who was probably a better choice than Andy in the playoff at that point.
Not able to build a team my ass. Dalton had more on both sides of the ball than Carson did and Carson had a pretty solid team around him in 2005 big time. Give Burrow the #2 scoring defense and #7 scoring offense and see what happens. I would bet he doesnt fumble and choke when it counts like Andy did. AJ Green made Andy look better than he really was. Sorry but its just true. This team was stacked and primed for a SB run. Build a team like that around Joe Burrow and we will be just fine. To think otherwise is self-defeating more than it is accurate.
