He was a below avg nfl qb - that’s supported by year over year facts.

He needed an entire offense built around him to see any success - just like a backup would need

And in his Prime (last off-season) the whole league could have brought him in. And he settled on the only offer he received...A backup qb role.

32 is not most NFL players prime. Not everyone is Tom Brady or Drew Brees.

Anyone on here can tell you I had my issues with Dalton, but it’s disingenuous to claim he wasn’t at least decent for a few years there. Where I always disagreed was the “above average” talk, or how it was just seemingly never his fault (it was Marvin, it was the play calling, it was the OL, etc). He deserved plenty of the blame for not being able to get some really good teams over the hump.

But he was hardly some scrub who didn’t belong starting. Most teams probably would have moved on from him a couple years sooner than we did, but that’s just the Bengals M.O. Whether it’s players or coaches.
